Mubasher: Souq, a leading online retail and marketplace website in the Arab region, on Monday announced the launch of “Amazon Global Store’ in the UAE, according to a recent press statement.

This new project will enable customers in the UAE to shop for over one million products from Amazon in the United States.

“On Amazon Global Store, customers can now enjoy a wide selection from categories such as apparel, handbags, shoes, watches, kitchen, home goods, and many more from popular loved brands,” the statement added.

The dedicated Amazon Global platform will be available on both Souq website and mobile app.

“We are excited about making millions of popular products from Amazon available on Souq.com to customers. This brings global selection closer to our customers in the region, and we will continue to grow this further,” Co-Founder and CEO of Souq Ronaldo Mouchawar commented.

“We share the same vision as Amazon and focus on providing our customers with best-in-class selection, great prices and a convenient shopping experience,” Mouchawar added.

Customers on Amazon Global Store will be able to shop in Arabic or English, and pay in UAE Dirham (AED) using their local credit cards or cash on delivery (COD).

Goods’ prices will be displayed in AED inclusive of import fee deposits at checkout, where applicable, without any unexpected fees added later.

“Souq offers two convenient delivery options for Amazon Global Store, from click to delivery: priority (2-5 business days) and expedited (6-10 business days),” the statement clarified.

Souq’s customer service team will be available for direct communication in English or Arabic for any queries related to the products, with a return policy for a full refund within 30 days, in most cases. 

“When we acquired Souq.com, our goal was to provide the best possible service for millions of customers in the Middle East by supporting them with Amazon technology and global resources,” said Samir Kumar, Vice President of International Retail.
