American trading platform "Amazon" is going to deploy in Israel its own system of warehousing and delivery of goods, opening a special website for local buyers.
A special group of local and foreign representatives prepares the ground for the full-fledged work of the Amazon in Israel. The company plans to open a large warehouse (for 25 thousand square meters) in the industrial zone of Modiin, where the storage and sorting of goods will be carried out. It is expected that the largest trading platform will deliver to Israel an assortment of 500 goods, which the Israelis purchase on "Amazon" most often.
Now the Israelis, ordering goods on the "Amazon", receive them mainly from warehouses of Germany and England, less often directly from the United States. Of course, with this method of retail trade, shipment takes a lot of time, there are difficulties with customs, etc. The availability of ordered goods directly in Israel will simplify the delivery procedure after the order. At the same time, the price of goods can grow, as pricing will include local taxes and overhead.
Now the Israelis are buying a wide range of goods on Amazon: plumbing, car parts, radio controlled flying machines, tools, etc.
