This article is for people wanting to shop on Amazon from Portugal. Your best bet is to use Amazon.es. Items will be delivered often and as fast as they are in Spain, and if you have a Prime account, shipping is still free. Another option is Amazon.de, which can take slightly longer to deliver; however, they will deliver to Portugal, and the shipping is often free with Prime.
Amazon.es is Amazon's US online store for Spain. Like on Amazon.com, you can buy things by putting them in your basket and going through the checkout process. Amazon accepts many different kinds of payment, like credit cards, debit cards, and Amazon gift cards.
In Spain, Amazon offers free delivery on orders over €29 and delivery options, such as standard delivery, express delivery, and Amazon Prime, which offers free, fast delivery for an annual fee. Amazon.es also has customer service in Spanish and different return and exchange options for customers who aren't happy with their purchases.
Basically, it is the same as Amazon.com, but for the Spanish market.
Amazon.de is the German counterpart to Amazon.com. Since is inside of the European Union and all the shop charge in Euros some of them will ship to Portugal, however, the shipping is likely to be more expensive than shipping from amazon.es
Apart from that, it's the same shop as the US online store, and it offers the same services, including Amazon Prime, which provides free shipping, streaming of movies and TV shows, and other benefits for a fee.
It's possible to shop at the Italian, and French Amazon. However, the faster and cheaper option is always going to be Amazon.es. If you type Amazon.pt, you will be redirected to Amazon.es, which is a good indication that is Amazon's preference for Portugal customers.
We don't recommend buying from Amazon UK or Amazon US because shipping will take longer and you'll have to pay import taxes.

Yes, Amazon can deliver to a hotel or Airbnb in Portugal. When placing an order on Amazon, you can enter the hotel's or Airbnb's address as the delivery address. Amazon will then deliver the package to that address, and it will be up to the hotel or Airbnb staff to ensure that you receive the package.
It's important to know that some hotels and Airbnbs have rules about how packages can be delivered to their guests. For example, the hotel or Airbnb may require that packages be delivered to the front desk or reception area, rather than to the guest's room. It is always a good idea to check with the hotel or Airbnb staff about their policies for receiving packages before placing an order on Amazon.
It's also worth noting that Amazon may not offer all of its delivery options to every location. For instance, some rural or remote areas may not be able to get delivery the same day or the next. To find out what delivery options are available to a specific address in Portugal, you can enter the address in the delivery address field when placing an order on Amazon and see what options are available.

However, it's worth noting that Amazon's delivery options and fees may vary depending on the location in the Azores. Some rural or remote areas may not be eligible for same-day or next-day delivery, and the cost of shipping may be higher to certain locations. To find out what delivery options are available to a specific address in the Azores, you can enter the address in the delivery address field when placing an order on Amazon and see what options are available.
It's also worth noting that some items may not be available for delivery to the Azores due to size, weight, or other restrictions. If you are unable to place an order for a particular item because it is not available for delivery to the Azores, you may be able to find the item from a different seller on Amazon or from another online retailer.
To recap, your best option is to buy on Amazon.es, where almost 98% of the retailers will ship to Portugal.
