Is Amazon in Lithuania?

Although Lithuania doesn't have a dedicated Amazon website, you can conveniently make purchases on Amazon through other platforms. Simply visit an Amazon site that delivers to Lithuania, such as Amazon.de (Germany) or Amazon.co.uk (UK). Moreover, you may want to explore local retailers for alternative shopping options.

How to order from Amazon in Lithuania?

Your options include visiting the German or UK Amazon websites or exploring Amazon's International Shopping page. Be sure either way to put Lithuania as your delivery destination before even adding items to your cart. This step makes the process easier by filtering out products that cannot be shipped to Lithuania. Click near the top-left Amazon logo and select your country.

Given its proximity to Lithuania, Amazon Germany is likely your to-go choice. If you're not fluent in German, don't worry—Amazon.de offers a user-friendly English version. Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com offer a broader selection, including local items, and frequently provide free shipping on many products. However, keep in mind that import taxes may apply to deliveries outside the UK.

Ordering from Amazon.de in Lithuania

Shopping on the German Amazon is a breeze, whether you're using a desktop or the mobile app. Just follow this guide:

Desktop:

Visit Amazon.de.
Near the top left corner, adjust your location to Lithuania using the option next to the Amazon logo.
Look for 'Deliver to Lithuania' next to the price and delivery details. Then, shop as usual, compare items and prices, and add them to your cart.
During checkout, enter your Lithuania delivery address.

Mobile App¹:

Open the Amazon mobile app.
Access the 'Deliver to' menu. If your country isn't listed, click on 'Settings' first.

To Change the Settings:

Tap the three-bar symbol at the bottom of the app.
Scroll down and expand the menu by tapping 'Settings.'
Click on 'Country & Language' to update your location.

Ordering from Amazon.co.uk

If you're having trouble finding what you want on Amazon Germany, consider giving Amazon UK a try. The great news is that your Amazon login works on any Amazon site, so no need for creating a new account. Shopping on Amazon.co.uk is pretty much like navigating the German site, simply switch over to Amazon.co.uk.

A heads-up: when making purchases on Amazon.co.uk, they'll convert the price from British pounds (GBP) to your local currency, euros (EUR). Amazon uses their own exchange rate, which might add some extra costs on top of the standard mid-market exchange rate. They also include a fee for their exchange rate guarantee.² But no worries, we've got a tip to help you avoid that – keep reading to get the details.

Effect of Brexit on Ordering from Amazon UK to Lithuania

When you place an order on Amazon UK with international shipping, you might be subject to import taxes. In this case, during the checkout process, you'll be presented with an estimated amount for these import charges. This serves as a pre-payment, addressing potential import duties or taxes that may arise on your behalf.³
