How to Utilize Free Shipping for Storage Media
Lightweight computer peripherals like SSDs and RAM are perfect candidates for Amazon's free shipping promotion to Israel for orders above $49.
- Spacing Orders: Keep items under $75 to bypass the 18% Israeli VAT. For multiple drives, space orders by 72 hours to prevent consolidated customs evaluation.
VAT-Free Eilat Shopping: The Advantage of KSP and Ivory
If you or your friends are planning a trip to Eilat, this is the most cost-effective way to purchase heavy computer components and accessories (such as monitors, PC cases, and power supplies) where shipping fees from Amazon would make importing them unviable.
- Order in Advance: We recommend placing a preorder (an Eilat order) on the KSP or Ivory websites a few days prior to arrival. This ensures that the products are reserved and waiting for you at the branch rather than selling out before you arrive.
Buy lightweight SSDs and storage components from Amazon to leverage tax exemption and free delivery.
