Does Amazon ship internationally to Latin America and the Caribbean?

Amazon Global offers international shipping to over 50 countries. However, many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean fall outside its network. Even in countries where they do deliver, costs are often significantly higher than using a freight forwarding service.

Additionally, product selection on local Amazon sites is more limited than on Amazon.com. This leads many shoppers to prefer buying directly from the U.S. site and using a reliable, secure service like aeropost for international transit to reduce costs .

FAQs about Amazon shipping to Latin America and the Caribbean

Does Amazon ship directly to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, or other Latin American countries?

Amazon.com offers direct shipping to some Latin American countries, but at a high shipping cost, and coverage is often limited and inconsistent. In many countries, such as Guatemala, Honduras, and Jamaica, Amazon does not offer direct shipping, or the delivery times and costs are unfavorable. The most popular alternative is to use a courier or freight forwarding service like aeropost, which acts as an intermediary: Amazon delivers the package to their Miami warehouse, and aeropost ships it to your country.

How much does it cost to ship an Amazon package to Latin America and the Caribbean with aeropost?

The cost with aeropost is calculated primarily based on the package's actual weight in pounds or kilos, not its volumetric weight. This is ideal for lightweight, bulky items like clothing, electronics, or toys. Factors affecting the total cost include:

  • Package weight.
  • Whether the package was pre-alerted.
  • Additional import permits.
  • Additional delivery fees.
  • Customs duties based on the package value and your country’s "de minimis" rules.

To get an estimated quote, you can use the shipping calculator on the aeropost website.

What is a pre-alert for aeropost and why is it important?

A pre-alert is a notification you send from your aeropost account to inform the company that a package is on its way to the Miami warehouse. You should submit it after confirming that your purchase has shipped from Amazon and before the package arrives at the aeropost warehouse.

It is important because it:

  • Allows us to identify your package and correctly assign it to your account.
  • Speeds up processing and reduces wait times.
  • Prevents delays caused by "unclaimed" packages at the warehouse.
  • Earns you a $2 USD credit ($1,700 CLP for customers in Chile) to be applied toward your package's shipping costs.
What does "de minimis" mean for international shipping?

The de minimis value is the maximum threshold under which an imported package can enter a country free of customs duties and taxes. This value varies by country.

Can I ship any Amazon product with aeropost?

Most products available on Amazon.com can be shipped through aeropost. However, there are restrictions on items considered dangerous goods or those with special import regulations, such as:

  • Large batteries or products with non-certified lithium.
  • Chemicals or flammable products.
  • Weapons or replicas.
  • Items with country-specific import restrictions.

Please consult the full restricted products list on the aeropost website before making your purchase.

How does the aeropost Miami address work?

When you sign up for aeropost, you receive a personalized address in Miami, Florida. This address includes your name and a unique locker number that identifies your account. When shopping on Amazon.com, you enter this address as your shipping destination. Amazon treats it as a domestic U.S. delivery, giving you access to free shipping with Prime. Additionally, as an aeropost customer, you can access a 7% sales tax exemption on eligible purchases.

What happens if I need to return an Amazon product purchased through aeropost?

aeropost offers a streamlined return process. To return an item to Amazon:

  1. Start the return process from your Amazon account as you normally would.
  2. Amazon will provide you with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) label.
  3. Coordinate with aeropost to manage the return shipment from your country back to the U.S.

It is important to review Amazon’s return policies (deadlines, product condition) and aeropost’s international return terms before purchasing. Learn more about this process on our blog: International Amazon Returns.
