Amazon.com Inc. today launched Amazon.ca for the Canadian market. Amazon also announced it has selected Assured Logistics, a part of the Canada Post Corp. group of companies, to handle fulfillment services for Amazon.ca.
Amazon.ca will offer Canadian customers more than 1.5 million books, CDs, videos and DVDs in English and French. Amazon says Canadian customers will also benefit from faster delivery and lower shipping rates for shipping within Canada through Canada Post.
"Amazon.ca provides great savings and convenience to Canadian customers and allows us to source products from Canadian publishers and distributors and work with them to increase online sales of their merchandise," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. "Amazon.ca will not only serve Canadians, but will also export Canadian products all over the world, increasing the visibility and reach of Canadian writers and artists."
Amazon.ca's books, music, DVD and video stores will feature content such as customer reviews and editorial reviews in both English and French, as well as bibliographic information from the National Library of Canada. Visitors to Amazon.ca also have the option to view their Shopping Cart and place their orders in English or French.
