AMAZON NOW SHIPS DIRECTLY TO NIGERIA AND OTHERS

The world’s biggest online retailer, Amazon, has decided to extend it’s tentacles to 75 more countries. It is doing so with its Amazon Global programme. This programme will enable international shoppers in 75 countries to order items from the online retail store and have them delivered directly to their home addresses.

The good news is that, 4 African countrieas – Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa are among the 75 countries.

I guess after seeing the success of the e-commerce industry in these countries, they decided as well that Africa is the best place to be.

In the list of good news, they stated that they would estimate the import fee deposit during checkout and provide customs clearance on customers behalf.

With Amazon’s tentacles now in Nigeria, let’s see what kind of game plan it would bring into the already established industry. With the likes of Jumia, Konga, Dealdey, Kaymu and so on in the game already, the gameplay would definitely change.

I must confess, the baby in my womb leaped for joy when I thought of BlackFriday and the possibility of getting those awesome discounts.
