As the title says, Amazon.ae now ships to Kuwait. I’ve never really used Amazon.ae so not sure how well stocked the UAE based site is but I just checked the price of a Nintendo Switch Lite and with shipping and customs the price came out to KD69 which is around 5KD cheaper than the cheapest price I’ve seen in Kuwait.
Nintendo Switch Lite: AED 769.29
Shipping & handling: AED 25.26
Import Fees Deposit: AED 41.97
Order total: AED 836.52
Amazon tend to overcharge with the import fees deposit and then refund you the difference at a later time so the price is going to be slightly less than KD69 actually. Not everything ships to Kuwait but this could be a new website to check anytime you’re looking to order something and can’t find it locally.

Interesting
I noticed Amazon advertising it in the last 2-3 days. Just placed my first order. Love the low shipping prices.
Does this mean they will ship to your doorstep and that the package won’t get stuck in a postal office somewhere in Kuwait?
It is courier. They deliver to your doorstep.
Are the items delivered through post or courier services?
Has to be courier based on the delivery dates
Do not trust the courier,
In my experience they cheated ur costumers
Thanks for the update Mark.
Just placed an order for books ! Looks like my days of complaining about Kuwait not having good bookstores (for English books) have come to an end.
Cheers !
Oh books! Didn’t think about that I have a whole bunch I’ve been wanting but putting off due to shipping costs
Have you tried this place??

They have not updated their Instagram profile since quite some time but they have a good collection of English books for children and adults…
Is it possible to change the currency to KWD? Would be nice if it was.
Also I think very soon we might be amazon KW
I can imagine 3rd party shipping company owners flexing their wasta and veto it
What happened to the import fees exception under 100 kd in Kuwait
With my location set to Kuwait, it says it can’t deliver the Switch to my location.
May I ask why? It’s shit like this that has me keep using my USA mailbox. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why certain items can be shipped and others cannot
Which switch? The Switch Lite I linked to ships to Kuwait
Regular switch.
I figured it out. It seems like if you want something shipped to Kuwait, the seller has to be Amazon UAE itself and can’t be any third party sellers
“the seller has to be Amazon UAE itself and can’t be any third party sellers”
I think that’s a pretty good move considering how Amazon UAE has tons of fakes/Chinese knock offs of original products listed by 3rd party sellers.
I’ll stick to the US one since every item I tried to search for is either unavailable or not in stock.
SOUQ.com was so much better
Today Posta plus delivered my package from amazon.ae
shipped October 5th
Many items don’t ship to Kuwait 🙁
