Warsaw, March 21, 2022 – Over the course of the past year, Amazon’s teams have been hard at work to provide customers in Poland with a vast selection of goods, everyday low prices and fast, reliable delivery. Since its launch, Amazon.pl’s offering has grown from 100 to 250 M products spanning more than 30 categories, including sports equipment, consumer electronics, beauty and personal care, books, smartphones, toys, grocery items, and many more. The launch of Amazon’s flagship Prime program in October enabled customers to enjoy fast and free delivery for millions of items, with no minimum order value and even on the very next day, as well as access to popular and award-winning movies and TV shows, including Amazon Originals, free video games and in-game content with Prime Gaming, and exclusive Prime deals throughout the year.
Poland is a very important country for us and we plan to continue investing here in the years to come, striving to provide customers with an even richer selection of products available at great prices and with convenient, quick delivery.
A year after the launch of Amazon.pl, the company is launching Amazon Super in Poland. This program simplifies the shopping experience for everyday essentials, such as household consumables, health and personal care products, pets supplies, books, toys, electronics, office products and many more, providing great deals on thousands of products. Customers can choose from thousands of selected ‘Super’ products and receive a 5% discount when they select between 5 – 20 ‘Super’ products. In addition, Prime members can enjoy a 10% discount on purchases of between 10 – 20 ‘Super’ products.
“We are incredibly pleased with how warmly we have been received by Polish customers since launching Amazon.pl and Prime last year. Poland is a very important country for us and we plan to continue investing here in the years to come, striving to provide customers with an even richer selection of products available at great prices and with convenient, quick delivery. We are excited to launch Amazon Super, making it easier for our customers to save money when purchasing everyday products and necessities. Poland is one of the first countries in the world for Amazon to launch this brand-new program.” – said Mourad Taoufiki, Country Manager at Amazon Poland.
Amazon customers will enjoy a vast selection of ‘Super’ products, see clear communication across search, detail, and cart pages that highlight that a product is Super-eligible. A dedicated Super page will ease reorder and discovery of new products. Customers shopping on Amazon.pl can find products eligible for this program from well-known global brands (Bosch, Lego, Nivea, Philips, Vileda, Yankee Candle), as well as renowned Polish companies, including Bielenda, Dermika, Lovela and Trefl.
Polish customers can shop on Amazon from anywhere, at any time, with hassle-free returns and Polish language customer service available throughout on either the Amazon Shopping app or their desktop or mobile browsers. They can read customer reviews, view personalized recommendations, create wish lists, and track their orders. They can also choose to pay for their purchases with either BLIK, Mastercard or Visa.
