Amazon Delivery to the Netherlands

Haggl shows item prices, Amazon’s checkout shows the rest

Haggl compares item prices across Amazon stores. It does not show delivery costs, and it does not know your address. Use it to find out which store lists a product for less, then let Amazon’s checkout tell you whether that store delivers to the Netherlands and what the final total is. The checkout total is the figure to trust.

Which stores ship to the Netherlands

Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland and Sweden are all in the EU, so their orders reach the Netherlands without customs. Whether a particular product ships is another matter. Amazon Germany’s help pages say some categories cannot always be sent abroad, and third-party sellers decide their own delivery countries.

The practical test is simple. Sign in, set your Dutch delivery address, and look at the product page. It should show whether that offer can be delivered to your address. If you are unsure, go as far as the final checkout page, which shows the delivery options before you pay. For the Dutch store itself, see our Amazon Netherlands page.

Your address and postcode

Dutch postcodes have four digits and two letters, such as 1012 AB. Enter yours exactly, with the house number and any addition, and add a mobile number so the carrier can send delivery updates. The postcode also decides the delivery estimate. Addresses on the Wadden Islands, such as Texel or Terschelling, can see later dates than the Randstad, so look at the date Amazon shows for your own postcode.

Pick-up points and parcel lockers

Not every parcel comes to the door. PostNL and DHL both run dense networks of pick-up points in supermarkets, newsagents and other shops, along with parcel lockers. If you are not home, a parcel may be left at one of these. The carrier’s notice tells you where to go and how long the parcel will be held. Take the notice or code, and ID, because staff check that the name matches the parcel. A parcel that is not collected in time is sent back.

What to check before you pay

• The delivery charge. It depends on the store, the seller and the destination country. Read it on the final checkout page rather than the product page.
• The estimated delivery date. Check it for each item. An order with items from different sellers can arrive in more than one parcel, on different days.
• Who sells and ships the item. “Sold by Amazon” and “sold by a third party” can come with different delivery charges and dates.
• Prime. If you have Prime on amazon.nl, do not assume it covers orders on amazon.de or amazon.com.be. Look at the delivery charge on the order itself.
• The order total. Compare this figure, not the product page price, with the same item on amazon.nl.

Ordering from Amazon UK

The UK store is the one that works differently. Since Brexit, a UK order to the Netherlands is an import, and Dutch import VAT is due. Amazon may collect it at checkout on lower-value orders, so check whether the order summary includes a line for import charges. If it does not, the carrier collects the amount before delivery. PostNL adds a handling fee of €10 per parcel worth up to €150, and €16 for parcels worth €150 or more, which may also attract import duty. Goods that need an extended customs declaration, such as alcohol or perfume, cost €16 to clear whatever their value. From 1 July 2026 the EU also charges customs duty on low-value parcels from outside the EU that used to come in duty-free. If a UK listing is only slightly cheaper on Haggl, those costs can easily wipe out the difference. Our import fees guide covers the rules in more detail, and our Amazon UK prices page covers the store.

Returns from the Netherlands

Buying from an Amazon store in another EU country, you have the same core rights as buying at home. You have 14 days from receiving the item to change your mind without giving a reason, and a legal guarantee of at least two years if the item turns out to be faulty.

What varies is the practical side. Under EU rules you may have to pay for sending the item back, so check in the store’s Returns Centre whether return postage from the Netherlands is free before you order something heavy. Start the return there and keep the drop-off receipt until the refund arrives. If a seller in another EU country will not sort out a problem, the European Consumer Centre Netherlands (ECC Nederland) offers free help once you have complained to the company yourself. Rights against a UK seller can be harder to enforce, because the UK is outside the EU.
