 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here I wanted to do a video today about Amazon dot it also known as Amazon Italia As I mentioned in the video I put up yesterday. I'm going on a business trip on Sunday To Torino so I'm very much looking forward to this business trip And I thought I would avail of the time outside of Israel to pick up a couple of things on my wishlist That I actually was planning to buy in the US this summer But now that I'm on a trip to Italia, I thought I would order from Amazon dot it So I've been wanting to do an order from them for a long time. Unfortunately. I haven't been able to find Much that delivers to Israel, but they have there have been some I want to show folks for who have never used anything other than Amazon comm what these are and am I background in Amazon is that Before making aliyah to Israel. I worked for a brief period as a CSA a customer service associate with Amazon dot co dot UK So, you know, they told us a little bit about the workings of Amazon internally so Amazon marketplaces are quite interesting They're kind of self-contained units of Amazon and you can see they have a list here This is from junglescout.com and they've got them listed one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 7 8 19 and you can see there are some newer marketplaces coming online and these all link off to URLs So amazon.com is the one that most people are familiar with but there's also amazon.ca I'm just reading the URLs that you can see on the screen here amazon.com.mx amazon.co.uk is the one people in Ireland use Amazon.de so there's three actually there's four european amazon marketplaces There's amazon.de If you are living in israel and I'm only saying that because I live here and some of my subscribers are also based here amazon.de is worth trying as well as amazon.uk for shipping to israel But there's also amazon.fr for france amazon.it for italy amazon.es for spain and those are the european ones and then they've even got amazon, uh, turkia Um, and there's also a turkish amazon a bit of a e-commerce fiend the turkish amazon like website It's called happy sprada and it's a really good website and you can see uh, poland and sweden there Sorry, so these are two newer marketplaces. So when you go on to amazon.it The first thing to say is that there isn't a um english user interface Um, so basically it's all in italian now I did italian for a few years in school and so far my Little knowledge of italian has been good enough to use this website But um, if you don't know any italian then you can just use google translate and it would work just fine But you really don't need to know that much in my account email or dini my orders Uh crea una lista create a list a wish list Um, etc. Etc. And if I go into my account, I've got my hotel listed now one thing to know about the amazon marketplaces You can see here leto eliste your wish list. I've only got one wish list torino zero five two two So I have like 50 or 60 wish lists on my amazon.com. So that's why i'm saying the marketplaces aren't Really connected. They're kind of discreet um Business units and the information you have on one amazon marketplace Doesn't necessarily populate or doesn't populate across other marketplaces Regarding customer service and my experience. It's usually self-contained teams as well Now the difference between an amazon marketplace and let's say something Like amazon.com shipping to israel is basically that it's a real business in that country. So if you go on to Um youtube and I put in here amazon italia spelled incorrectly. You can see there's a video of Amazons uh fulfillment centers. So amazon relies upon What are called fc's or fulfillment centers to supply orders and you can see here at this article on amazon about amazon From 2020 amazon's newest fc in colifero italy was opened So basically a marketplace means in the case of amazon italia There is a real physical infrastructure of amazon fulfillment centers So this they're shipping from that country and because they're shipping from that country It means for instance if I was looking I was looking at these wireless systems Wireless microphone systems if I go into one of these you can see my delivery options or that I can do I can get next day Um and there's also amazon prime so you can sign up for a prime trial Now if you're really trying to be sneaky you can do a prime trial and then cancel this even if you don't intend remaining in italy Um, but you can also just pay like five dollars for next day delivery And that's really the difference between using an amazon marketplace and buying to a place like israel That is supported by other amazon marketplaces But there isn't a local fc backbone here Is that you'll get these next day and same day delivery options and prime Memberships that they can't offer in places like israel Because there just isn't the logistics chain in place To make that work. So this is amazon italia. Um, I'm excited to pick up my orders and uh, yeah It's definitely worth checking out these alternative marketplaces If you are trying to think creatively about where you can get stuff from that might be cheaper than your local market Thanks for watching this video and more of them are coming soon
