E-commerce giant Amazon has resumed shipping to Israel at reduced prices, Globes reported.
The announcement comes several months after Amazon halted shipping to Israel and later resumed it at exorbitant prices for “express” services.
This reduction only applies to small items, where shipping costs only $7, Globes reported. By contrast, larger products that cost upward of $50 can have shipping fees of $29.
