The global online retailer has partnered with South Korean e-commerce platform 11Street to launch the Amazon Global Store on 11Street.
The move will make it easier for consumers to purchase tens of millions of products that are available on Amazon U.S’ website, including items such as PCs, toys, fashion and electronics. The service has been in operation in 12 other countries prior to this, however this marks the first time that Amazon is working with a local company for the launch.
Somana Konganda, Director of Amazon Global, commented: “Starting today, customers in Korea will be able to enjoy the most convenient way to shop global products, with free international shipping from the US.”
Meanwhile, Lee Sang-ho, CEO of 11Street, added: “The launch of Amazon Global Store on 11Street brings together the best of 11Street’s local know-how and Amazon’s global retailing experience.”
As the Amazon Global Store was launched jointly with 11Street, customers will have to sign up to 11Street to place an order.
