Amazon is an e-commerce company that is one of the top 5 in the world in this field—founded in 1997 by Jeff Bezos in Washington DC. Amazon.com is the home to millions of businesses and their livelihood. This company operates in almost all countries, and international shipping Amazon services are also applicable to virtually all countries.  

To ship is to export a product in a particular area for delivering it to the customer. The site could be from a country-to-country or state-to-state, or within the state. When it is from country to country, it is international shipping. This type of shipping is a bit complex as the laws can be different in different countries, and also because this shipping is costly too. The final cost is more than the price of the product due to additional import fees and taxes.  

Amazon started shipping internationally with 100+ countries, which has now increased to 200+ countries and territories. This means the company delivers products from and to the countries involved, following their laws. These products are mainly traded via cargo planes and ships depending on the nature of the product and the countries involved. The estimated arrival time of the creation depends on the preferred time. In national shipping, if a free shipping option is selected, it may take 5 to 8 days.  

If the buyer pays an extra amount to fast forward the shipping process, it may be reduced to 2 to 5 days. But in the case of international shipping amazon, unexpected delays can occur, such as bad weather, natural disasters, etc. The date is also affected by the quantity of the product ordered.  

Amazon ships its products too. These include Kindle, Alexa, etc. Recently, in September 2021, Amazon announced Astro, a household robot, which will also be shipped internationally. From small to giant companies, anyone can trade internationally with the help of Amazon.
