Singapore consumers will now have more options to buy online, with the introduction of Amazon Singapore website, its first in South-east Asia.
Amid the strong competition from Shopee, Lazada, Qoo10 and more, Amazon decided that it is time to introduce Singapore to Amazon.sg, the Singapore Amazon website.
Consumers can expect to be able to buy more International goods that previously has to be shipped from overseas or just not available for shipping to Singapore.
While we have Amazon Prime since 2017, the Amazon.sg is something that many avid shoppers are looking out for.
Amazon has to date ten of thousands of products for Prime members but the Amazon.sg website allows consumers to choose from millions of products. That, in my opinion, is a lot.
