Amazon.ie has officially opened its virtual doors, offering customers in Ireland a wide selection of over 200 million products with low prices in Euro, and fast, convenient delivery and returns.
Customers will enjoy One-Day Delivery on millions of products, and can browse products with clear, local pricing and without additional customs charges. Irish businesses small and large will also soon be available on a dedicated Brands of Ireland page to help customers find their favourite Irish brands while helping local businesses achieve greater success.
Starting today, customers can also join Prime on Amazon.ie for just €6.99 per month and enjoy the very best of shopping, savings, and entertainment—including fast, free delivery; exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day; popular TV shows, movies, and live sports on Prime Video; free games on Prime Gaming; and exclusive offers from partners like Odeon cinemas and Deliveroo. Customers in Ireland who already have UK Prime memberships can easily switch, and will automatically have their UK Prime membership canceled and refunded. All customers, including those switching from a UK membership, can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon.ie Prime.
“Our teams across the country are unbelievably proud and incredibly excited to launch Amazon.ie,” said Alison Dunn, Ireland country manager at Amazon. “The store brings a wide selection of great value products with fast delivery to customers in Ireland, a local Prime membership with incredible benefits and savings, and lots of opportunities for Irish businesses to reach more customers. We have been building towards this moment since the launch of our fulfilment centre in Dublin in 2022, and we can’t wait to write the next chapter of our story in Ireland.”
“This expansion by Amazon will give consumers more choice and better value, as well as help small, medium, and large businesses across the country promote their own Irish and international products,” said Micheál Martin, Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland. “By using Amazon, people know that they will get a well-trusted, great service. It’s good news for all.” Peter Burke, Ireland’s minister for Enterprise, Tourism, and Employment, also welcomed the news, calling it a signal of Amazon’s “continued commitment to Ireland.”

‘Brands of Ireland’ page makes it even easier to shop your favourite Irish brands
Amazon is launching the Brands of Ireland page in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland, the Irish government’s enterprise development agency. Irish brands available at launch include Barry’s Tea, Bewley’s, and independent fitness brand Swifter.
“The launch of Amazon.ie is great news for Irish businesses and consumers,” said James Madden, co-founder of Swifter. “For Swifter, it means we are able to reach more local customers and grow in our home market.”
