Planning to move to Estonia and want to set up your new place, or maybe you're jetting off for a quick getaway holiday and need your travel must-haves pronto? You may consider turning to the online shopping giant Amazon for your needs, but the big question is: does Amazon operate in Estonia?

In this simple guide, we're diving into the details of ordering from Amazon in Estonia. We'll break down which Amazon site to visit, spill the beans on the delivery process, and share some savvy tips on handling those tricky currency conversion fees. Plus, we'll clue you in on a smart and budget-friendly payment method for your global Amazon spree - the Wise international debit card.

Is Amazon in Estonia?

Although there isn't a specific Estonian website for Amazon, you can conveniently shop on Amazon using other countries' websites. Just head over to an Amazon site that offers deliveries to Estonia, like Amazon.de (Germany) or Amazon.co.uk (UK). Another handy suggestion is to check out local retailers for alternative shopping choices.

How to order from Amazon in Estonia?

You have the option to visit either the German or UK Amazon websites, or explore Amazon's International Shopping page. Before adding items to your cart, ensure Estonia is set as your delivery destination to make the process easier, displaying only products available for shipment to Estonia. Avoid the disappointment of selecting items that can't be shipped to you by clicking near the top-left Amazon logo and selecting your country.

Amazon Germany is likely your primary choice, offering a user-friendly English version for non-German speakers. Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com present a broader selection, including local items, often with free shipping. However, they may import other taxes for deliveries.

Ordering from Amazon.de in Estonia

Shopping on the German Amazon is a piece of cake, whether you're using your desktop or the mobile app. Here’s a quick guide:

Desktop:

Visit Amazon.de.
Near the top left corner, adjust your location to Estonia using the option next to the Amazon logo.
Look for 'Deliver to Estonia' next to the price and delivery details. Then, shop as usual, compare items and prices, and add them to your cart.
When you’re ready to check out, enter your Estonia delivery address.

Mobile App¹:

Open the Amazon mobile app.
Access the 'Deliver to' menu. If your country isn't listed, go to 'Settings' first.

Changing Settings:

Tap the three-bar symbol at the bottom of the app.
Scroll down and expand the menu by tapping 'Settings.'
Click on 'Country & Language' to switch your location.

Ordering from Amazon.co.uk

If you're having a tough time finding what you want on Amazon Germany, why not try Amazon UK? Your Amazon login works across all Amazon sites, so there's no need to create a new account, and shopping on Amazon.co.uk is pretty much like navigating the German site—just switch over to Amazon.co.uk.

It’s good to know that when you make purchases on Amazon.co.uk, the price is converted from British pounds (GBP) to your local currency, euros (EUR). Amazon applies its exchange rate, potentially incurring additional costs beyond the standard mid-market exchange rate. They also add a fee for their exchange rate guarantee.² But fear not, we've got a clever solution to help you dodge that – keep reading for the details.

Ordering from Amazon UK in Estonia after Brexit

When you buy from Amazon UK with international shipping, you may be required to settle import taxes. During the checkout process, you'll encounter an estimated amount for these import charges. This serves as a pre-payment, addressing potential import duties or taxes that could arise on your behalf.³\
