Amazon is shipping directly to the Dominican Republic?

I ordered yesterday on Amazon 2 articles. One free of shipping (should be included in the price I think) and with the other item the shipping costs were explicitly stated at checkout.

Another strange situation, when ordering from The Nehterlands and add a delivery address in DR, it's not accepting the change of address. Also a VPN connection is not supportive.

You are right but if you look they are the exact same products being sold on e bay and amazon only less expensive.
Referring to Temu. This junk website is blocked by many Dutch companies for employees. Junk and electrical devices (and even chargers) are extremely dangerous.
A lot people use this as dropshipping

I've ordered about 4 times from Temu - probably over 20 items. No problem so far with anything I've received, but I wasn't shopping for luxury items. Many were the same items seen on eBay or Amazon, but cheaper. It's all made in China. but almost everything is these days.

How were they delivered? INPOSDOM? Guy on a motorcycle?

The usual way - to BM Cargo!!!
If you mean BM Cargo in Miami, then that is not "Shipped to the DR" That's shipped to Miami.

In the OP I was referring to Amazon shipments being shipped directly to the DR, not a courier.

Things went off-topic a little talking about Temu. I was just posting my experience with Temu.

Somebody had posted in this thread that they had received Amazon shipments in Colombia...can't find it now so maybe a moderator deleted it. If so, my question ties back to the DR so hopefully we can all see an answer...how were those shipments delivered? Is it similar to here where there really isn't a post office as many of us are used to? I'm curious how Amazon would deliver here, and maybe that answer would be similar to how it's done in Colombia.

I am the one that posted it,Amazon ships it to Colombia and then it is passed off to a Colombian courier company called Pasarex and they deliver to my home. Quick and efficient and many items ship free.

They also annoy the shit out of you with 287 google ads/day
Yeah and every damn Android game has to show Temu spam every 15 seconds with Chinese people crying & speaking Spanish trying to get you to download their junk app for a 99 peso Android tablet with keyboard ! .
Because of their obnoxious advertising I would never order any of their Chinese crap.

Thank you! That's probably how it works in the DR too, using a courier like Domex or others that deliver to the door. I noticed that free delivery comes at the $49 USD mark, rather than the $35 mark within the US.

If that's how it works here, it wouldn't surprise me to hear DOMEX does it. They are light years ahead of the other island couriers.
