This type of news makes us even more furious wondering why Amazon still hasn’t launched here in Malaysia. We accept the fact the online retail has long establish networks in the US and can deploy promotions like free shipping and other wonderful deals Americans enjoy, but all we ask is to extend the shopping experience to us here as well? Huh Jeff, you’re listening?

Lest we digress further, Amazon has decided to offer holiday shoppers for a limited time from now till before Christmas free shipping with no minimum purchase amount on orders that will arrive in time for the holiday. This offer applies to hundreds of millions of items in the list with Prime members enjoying free same day delivery in the US.

“This holiday, customers can enjoy free shipping with no minimum purchase amount on orders that will arrive in time for Christmas, including items from Amazon’s expertly curated Gift Guides across electronics, fashion, home and toys,” said Doug Herrington, Senior Vice President of North American Retail at Amazon. Now we know why this company is the biggest online eCommerce site in the world and the innovative offering is unparalleled to any other not even doppelganger Alibaba.

We can only imagine the excitement on the faces of customers in US who can now order gifts for family and friends even if there’s a blizzard outside.
