Amazon is one of the most popular online shopping platforms in the world, offering millions of products across every category you can imagine—from electronics and fashion to books and home appliances. The good news for Ghanaians is that Amazon now ships many items directly to Ghana through its Amazon Global service. If you’re wondering how to order from Amazon and get your items delivered to Ghana, here’s a detailed step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Create an Amazon Account
Visit www.amazon.com and sign up for a free account using your email address and a secure password. You can also download the Amazon app on your smartphone for easier browsing and notifications.
Step 2: Set Your Delivery Address to Ghana
After creating your account, go to the “Accounts & Lists” section and click on “Your Addresses.”
-
Click “Add a new address” and enter your full Ghanaian address, including your region, city, and accurate postal code.
-
Be sure to include a valid phone number—couriers may call you for delivery.
This step is important because Amazon will use your address to filter and show only items that can be shipped to Ghana.
Step 3: Browse and Filter Items That Ship to Ghana
Not all sellers on Amazon offer international shipping. To avoid confusion, always select the “Ship to Ghana” option at the top of the website. You can also filter search results by choosing “Amazon Global Eligible” under the seller filters.
This ensures you’re only seeing products that can be delivered directly to your Ghanaian address.
Step 4: Add Items to Your Cart
Once you find eligible items, check the product details, estimated shipping cost, and import duties. Click “Add to Cart” and continue shopping or proceed to checkout when ready.
Tip: It’s a good idea to consolidate your orders to save on shipping.
Step 5: Proceed to Checkout
When you’re ready, click the cart icon and then click “Proceed to Checkout.”
-
Confirm your Ghana delivery address.
-
Choose a shipping option—Amazon will show you estimated delivery dates. Standard shipping usually takes 7–15 business days.
Step 6: Make Payment
Amazon accepts most international debit and credit cards, including Visa and Mastercard. Enter your card details and billing address, which can be the same as your shipping address.
You’ll see a final cost summary, including the item price, shipping fees, and estimated import duties (if applicable).
Click “Place Your Order” to complete the purchase.
Step 7: Track Your Order
After placing your order, Amazon will send you email updates and tracking information. You can also track your order under “Your Orders” in your Amazon account.
Step 8: Receive Your Package in Ghana
Your package will be delivered to the address you provided. Delivery is typically handled by international courier partners like DHL, FedEx, or local logistics companies. If customs duties are due, you may be contacted to make payment before delivery.
Final Tip: Consider Using Freight Forwarders
If your item isn’t eligible for direct shipping to Ghana, consider using a freight forwarding service like Shoptomydoor, MyUS, or Shipito. These services provide you with a U.S. address and handle the shipping to Ghana.
Ordering from Amazon to Ghana is safe and convenient when you follow the right steps. With this guide, you can enjoy the benefits of global shopping from the comfort of your home.
