File ohoto: ReutersMore than three years after Amazon launched in Australia, Kiwi shoppers can now buy direct from the online retailer - with the likelihood of faster, cheaper deliveries. "We know many New Zealand customers are already shopping on the US store and we are pleased to be offering them a faster option." Amazon has four fulfillment centres in Australia - Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane - with a second planned centre for both Melbourne and Sydney. Amazon fulfillment centres allow sellers to store their products (at a cost) while Amazon picks, packs and ships the items to customers when something is sold. For New Zealand customers, standard delivery starts at $A2.99 ($NZ3.20), while those in certain areas in Christchurch and Auckland can access expedited delivery for as little as $A6.99 ($NZ7.49).
