Does Amazon Work In The Dominican Republic or Punta Cana? (Solved)
For people living in North America, buying items through Amazon has become as common as drinking a glass of water, it is very comfortable, convenient, fast and you can find almost anything.
But, if you are thinking of buying on Amazon from the Dominican Republic, obviously it will not be as easy as doing it from North America, although, in reality, you can buy items from Amazon from the Dominican Republic without any problem.
The items are shipped very fast, since in reality there is not so much distance between North America and the Dominican Republic, if you are in the Dominican Republic, so you can buy from Amazon without any problem, the ideal is to affiliate with a logistics company of transport of goods.
That is the way that I and most Dominicans use to buy items in North America, not only in Amazon but also in other large electronic stores like eBay, Walmart, and others.
The problem with Amazon is that, although that company does allow items to be shipped internationally, most items will depend on the location of the order, and many items, if not most, do not ship directly to the Dominican Republic.
But if you are affiliated in the Dominican Republic with one of the freight forwarding companies, this is not a problem, as these companies have established offices in North America, and provide you with that address to use for your Amazon orders.
These freight forwarding companies are everywhere in the Dominican Republic, well, actually in the big cities, such as Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Santiago, joining these companies is very simple and you don’t have to pay anything to register, you just have to enter the website and register with your name.
There is no monthly fee or anything like that, what is charged is per pound of item that you send to order, so ideally do not use this service to buy very heavy or large items.
They assign you a customer number and address that you must put when placing your orders on Amazon.
Personally, I use a company in the Dominican Republic called BM Cargo, they have several branches, one is practically two corners from my house in Santo Domingo, they also have branches in Punta Cana, so yes, you can order through Amazon from Punta Cana.
Here is the link to the website where you can join this company, they are not paying me or anything for mentioning them in this topic, there are many other companies, I just recommend it because I have a couple of years of using this company to place orders on Amazon and they’ve been great (they deserve free advertising).
And really their service is incredibly good and economical, everything arrives at me very fast and the payment is made by pounds, nothing excessive.
The website is in Spanish and English, at the top is the button to become a member.
Again, they assign you a customer number, and an address that you must use in your orders that you are going to make on Amazon, the order will first arrive at that address in North America, which is an office of theirs and then is shipped to the Dominican Republic.
You pick it up at the office that you have chosen, the one that is closest to you, the good thing is that they let you know through phone messages and emails where your order is, when it arrives, and how much you have to pay, it is really a very comfortable and easy to use service.
