Amazon re-opens US store to Australian shoppers after backlash


Wood reckons reckons Amazon

SYDNEY: Amazon.com Inc said on Nov 22 it would stop blocking Australians from shopping on its US site after a customer backlash, unwinding a move which has tarnished the e-commerce giant’s launch in the world’s 12th-largest economy. 

The reversal relieved shoppers who had complained since July about being locked out of the much larger range of offerings they had grown accustomed to on the US site following the opening of Amazon’s local platform a year ago.
