The Amazon website has been online since the start of the internet age, but for South Africans it wasn't fully available until 2024. Since then a dedicated website has been available with the .co.za domain name.
The local site went live in May 2024 with features including same-day and next-day delivery, over 3,000 pickup points, free delivery on the first order, and free delivery thereafter on orders over R500.
