KINGSTON, Jamaica – E-commerce behemoth Amazon.com Inc has officially introduced its dedicated budget shopping application, Amazon Bazaar, to the Jamaican market, marking the country as the 14th international location for the service. The announcement was made by the company on Monday.
This new application forms a key component of Amazon’s worldwide ‘Haul’ project, which is specifically engineered to provide cost-effective merchandise across numerous consumer categories. The platform currently showcases an extensive inventory featuring hundreds of thousands of items spanning fashion apparel, home furnishings, and lifestyle products, with the vast majority being offered at prices under J$1,600.
An Amazon representative stated, ‘We are thrilled to unveil Amazon Bazaar, a distinct standalone shopping application that is now accessible to consumers in Jamaica.’
The corporation clarified that the ‘Bazaar’ branding is strategically employed in certain international markets as an alternative to the ‘Haul’ designation to more effectively resonate with regional language nuances and cultural contexts. Despite the difference in naming, both versions deliver an identical ultra-low-price retail experience.
Existing Amazon account holders can seamlessly access the Bazaar platform, which incorporates comprehensive customer feedback mechanisms including written reviews and star-based ratings. The service guarantees free return options within a 15-day period following product receipt. Purchases that exceed J$5,000 in value qualify for complimentary delivery services, while smaller orders will be subject to standard shipping fees. Delivery timelines are typically within a two-week window.
As part of its market entry strategy, Amazon will provide first-time users with a 50 percent discount on their initial order. The application additionally incorporates engaging promotional features such as social media-integrated lucky draw competitions.
Multiple payment options are supported, including internationally recognized Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards.
The Amazon Bazaar application is currently available for download on both iOS and Android devices across fourteen markets: Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and now Jamaica.
Amazon has emphasized that all merchandise offered through the platform undergoes rigorous compliance verification procedures to ensure adherence to safety standards and corporate policy requirements.
