Yes! We’ve ordered from three different versions of Amazon, actually: Amazon US, Amazon Germany
and Amazon UK
.
All products have arrived in Budapest just fine every time we’ve ordered. Sometimes they arrive in just days, but occasionally it can take a couple of weeks for the items to show up at our flat. Once the product arrives in Hungary, Amazon passes off responsibility for the shipment to a company doing business here, usually Trans-O-Flex or DHL. Often, those companies don’t provide reliable tracking, but the items do arrive eventually.
A few things to keep in mind:
- If you’re ordering products that need to be plugged in to a power source, keep in mind that you’ll need an adapter for any product that was made for the U.S. or U.K. markets.
- Other items, too, can be specific to the country. Recently, for example, I ordered an iPad keyboard
from Amazon UK. I ordered it from there instead of from Amazon Germany because I needed a keyboard in English. The keyboard has a pound sign where I’m used to seeing a dollar sign, but other than that it’s the same. Keyboards are available at shops throughout Budapest, too, but all of the ones I found had Hungarian keyboards.
- This applies to most big cities, but if you live in an apartment building, you’ll need to be home when the package arrives. If that’s not a great option for you, the Hungarian Post Office offers parcel terminals for rent, as does FoxPost and a few other places. We use FoxPost a lot for getting coffee delivery from Casino Mocca here in Budapest, and it works great.
I am a student living in Budapest . Is it possible to get my parcels from amazon delivered to a fox post or a post office? How do I do that?
I published my 12th book and since I now live in Hungary, I ordered a few copies from Amazon. I was informed that my address is not eligible for delivery. Up until now I had no problems of any sort with ordering or receiving items, including books; therefore I presume that Covid-19 must be the reason in one way or another. Hopefully when all this is over business will be back as usual.
Hello! I want to return something I got from amazon Germany, I went to DHL and they said i should send it through Hungarian post and when i went to the post they said i should go to DHL so does anyone know how should i return it?
