# Amazon store guide: delivery, returns, payment and customer service

Amazon runs separate Gulf stores, amazon.ae for the UAE and amazon.sa for Saudi Arabia, selling its own stock alongside items from third-party sellers. Amazon.ae replaced Souq.com in the UAE in 2019.

– means the store's own pages did not say. The full facts with the date we read them are below.

## Amazon in the UAE

Amazon.ae has few general codes; most are bank card codes that change every month, plus first-order app codes. Free delivery depends on having AED 100 of items shipped by Amazon, not your basket total.

|   |   |
| --- | --- |
| Free delivery | Orders with AED 100 or more of eligible items fulfilled by Amazon; otherwise standard delivery from AED 10. Items from other sellers do not count toward the AED 100 |
| Returns | Most items within 15 days of receipt, through the Online Returns Center; items marked non-returnable are excluded |
| Payment | Visa, Mastercard, Amex credit cards; Visa and Mastercard debit cards; Tabby, Tamara, gift cards, cash on delivery |
| Cash on delivery | AED 10 non-refundable fee; not available if your open orders exceed AED 1,000 or for most third-party seller and Global Store items |
| Prime | AED 16 a month or AED 140 a year; currently the first 3 months cost AED 8 a month |

Read on 14 October 2026 from the store's own pages. Official site: [www.amazon.ae](https://www.amazon.ae/)

- Bank codes carry the month in their name (for example AHBOCT20 for October); a code from last month will not work.
- Only items fulfilled by Amazon count toward the AED 100 free-delivery level; items from other sellers do not.
- Cash on delivery costs AED 10 and is not offered once your open orders pass AED 1,000.

- NEW20 is the only Amazon.sa code we found on two sites; one lists a SAR 30 cap and an end date of 16 October.
- Free delivery needs SAR 100 of items fulfilled by Amazon; otherwise standard delivery starts at SAR 12.
- Cash on delivery is temporarily unavailable, so plan to pay by card, mada, Tabby or Tamara.
