Shopping on Amazon (US) from Israel?
Here are some of my favorite tips:
Order only when you can get free shipping, or, if you have to pay for shipping, if the product you're ordering is not available in Israel and you REALLY need it, (but ask around - sometimes shipping can double your cost and then if it IS available in Israel, it may pay to buy it here). Right now, Amazon has a free shipping promo with a $49 purchase of participating items.
Check for price drops! I save lots of items into my cart and check back later, sometimes the price goes down!
Always check for deals and coupon codes! Click here for your coupon section
Paying with your Israeli credit card? You may be able to get 10% off on the 10th of the month with code MASTERCARDAY.
Always check the International Free Shipping section - click here to go to International Free Shipping
Don't be shy if your order doesn't arrive by the date promised, reach out to Amazon customer service. They'll help make it right! I got a $5 credit last time my order was delayed.
Returns: It's pretty easy to process a return if you need. You just start by opening the Orders section and click the appropriate button.
Keep your orders under the taxable threshold. Amazon will calculate your taxes, which currently kick in at $150 USD. They also seem to be adding a $6 fee to orders over $100, even though those aren't taxable. If you're buying something that's taxable, shop around a little locally first!
Happy savings!
