Does Amazon Deliver To Mexico In 2024? (Your Full Guide)

Ordering from Amazon and having packages reliably delivered to any address in Mexico has become more commonplace thanks to the company‘s continued international expansion. However, shipping policies, costs and restrictions still catch some customers off guard. This detailed guide covers everything you need to know about getting Amazon orders to Mexican doorsteps in 2024.

Overview: How Orders Get From Amazon To Mexico

Amazon leverages a robust worldwide delivery network to ship over 100 million eligible products to Mexico. While Amazon owns logistics operations in the US, they rely on trusted third party carriers for international shipping.

Once an order is placed, items ship from Amazon fulfillment centers located across the US or even directly from merchants selling on Amazon. Packages are handed off to shipping partners like DHL Express, who handle customs clearance and final mile delivery within Mexico.

This interconnected supply chain makes it affordable and convenient for Mexicans to shop on Amazon, with average transit times of 5-15 days depending on carrier and location. However, COVID-related transportation delays, taxes and import regulations can impact individual shipments.

Shipping Costs and Times Breakdown

Here is an overview of the shipping speeds and rates you can expect when ordering for delivery to Mexico:

Costs vary based on:

  • Item weight and dimensions
  • Shipping route and carrier
  • Seller policies and promotions

Clothing, shoes and media tend to ship fastest and cheapest, while bulky or heavy items incur premium transit fees.

Taxes and Import Fees

On top of shipping charges, orders to Mexico are subject to the following additional costs:

  • 16% IVA tax: Collected on the full item cost + shipping fees
  • Customs processing fee: Ranges from MX$320-MX$530 depending on carrier
  • Import duties: Most smaller consumer goods are duty-free

To cover these import taxes and fees, Amazon charges an Import Fee Deposit at checkout averaging 15-30% of the product value. If actual import costs are lower, you will be refunded the difference.

Rules Around What Can Be Shipped

Amazon places some restrictions around the types of merchandise that can be exported internationally:

  • Media items like books, DVDs and music are fully eligible
  • Categories like jewelry, wingsuits or chemical products have limitations
  • Certain prescription or controlled products cannot ship to Mexico

Use Amazon‘s International Shipping Filter when browsing to confirm specific products in your cart are able to ship. Over 100 million items across all major categories qualify.

If preferred, you also have the option to ship Amazon purchases to a U.S. address near the border and carry them into Mexico personally to potentially avoid hassles or fees.

Is Amazon Gaining Momentum in Mexico?

While Amazon entered the Mexican market back in 2015, they have accelerated expansion over the past year:

  • Added 2 new logistics centers with 1500+ employees
  • Launched Amazon Prime with faster shipping for members
  • Expanded selection of Mexican produced grocery and household items

This growing local presence means improved reliability and speed for orders – especially when using AmazonGlobal expedited delivery.

The bottom line: Expect Amazon‘s delivery network in Mexico to provide even better service and value as they continue tailoring operations to the market over 2023 and beyond. They make it easier than ever for Mexican consumers to access coveted international and U.S. brands.
