Amazon to Launch Irish Store in 2025, MannaAero to Support 50,000+ Households

May 9, 2024, 02:55 PM

Amazon has announced plans to launch a dedicated store in Ireland in 2025. The new website will enable customers to shop with clearer local pricing and without additional customs charges. This move is aimed at providing faster delivery and avoiding customs fees that Irish customers currently face when ordering from the UK or the US. The launch was initially planned alongside Belgium and Switzerland in 2022 but was delayed in Ireland to cut costs. Additionally, local businesses threatened by Amazon's expansion will be supported by MannaAero, which can reach over 50,000 local households with a 3-minute flight.
