Amazon Delivers to island of Japan’s four main islands.
We continue to publish new series: "Top 10 Most Unusual Places Amazon Delivers Packages." Amazon has more than 20 fulfillment centers and close to 30 delivery stations in Japan to ensure the reliable delivery of products to remote areas all over the country.
One of the traditional tools of the Ainu people, who specialize in woodcarving, is the ikupasuy. The tool is used in rituals for drinking, and the Ainu use the ikupasuy to speak to the Kamui of the natural world. The tool is carved from hard, sticky wood such as oak and finished by applying vermilion, yellow, or black lacquer," said Debo. In the past, Debo drove to a home improvement store in Kushio City, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) away, to get lacquer.
“I was wondering what I was going to do when I couldn't obtain the lacquer anymore, and Amazon solved my problem,” Debo said.”

Amazon delivers to Mackinac Island, where motor vehicles have been banned for more than 120 years.
Mackinac Island is one of the unique locations that Amazon delivers to.
Without access to traditional delivery vans on the island, Amazon leverages our interconnected logistics network and strong third-party carrier partnerships to transport and deliver packages directly to customer doorsteps on the island—by horse and dray carriage.

Tradition and innovation meet on the journey of an Amazon package as it travels through the canals of the Venetian Lagoon.
Amazon leverages its interconnected logistics network and strong carrier partnerships to make deliveries along the Lagoon possible. Once a customer from Murano places an order, an Amazon employee at a European fulfillment center picks and packs the item.
Then, the package travels to a carrier partner’s warehouse in the Lagoon area. Every day, employee uses the vaporettos along the canals to deliver packages to customers on the islands. Employee covers parts of his route on foot to access the narrow historic streets.

Amazon plans to direct $1 million to the inaugural fund of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Additionally, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly set to meet with Trump next week at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to the sources.
Amazon and Bezos made the decision to donate earlier this week and have already informed Trump’s team, some sources noted. “Bezos is making the donation through Amazon,” said a source close to Bezos. Amazon will also stream Trump’s inauguration via Prime Video, which will count as an "in-kind" donation worth $1 million, added another source. Amazon similarly broadcast the inauguration of current President Joe Biden in 2021. In 2017, the company contributed only $58,000 to Trump’s campaign.
Bezos and other tech executives are reportedly seeking to strengthen ties with the new administration, the newspaper highlights. Previously, relations between Trump and Bezos were strained, partly because the billionaire owns The Washington Post, which has often been critical of Trump. Bezos, who also owns the space exploration company Blue Origin, once suggested sending Trump to the Moon.

Chinese sellers are actively expanding their presence on the Russian Ozon and Wildberries marketplaces in an attempt to find new markets and avoid Western duties.
According to the publication Financial Times, 80% of orders for Ozon Global, which allows Ozon customers to buy goods from abroad, account for products from China. The press service of the FT site stated that at least 100 thousand Chinese sellers had been registered. Wildberries has been cooperating with manufacturers and sellers from China since 2023.
In Chinese social networks, including the Xiaohongshu service, there are more and more publications about the advantages of promotion on Russian sites. The owner of one of these accounts told the FT that he can register a company in Russia to work in the local market for about 30 thousand yuan (about 420 thousand rubles).
Several Chinese suppliers told the publication that they are opening their own online stores in Russia. This process involves having an account with one of the local banks, paying for logistics services within the country and receiving payments in rubles.

How Amazon delivers to Japan's most remote islands.
For Okinawans, Amazon deliveries are even faster now, thanks to a new delivery station in Okinawa that helps Amazon deliver millions of items the next day to customers.
Before the delivery station opened, customers would typically have to wait a few days to get what they ordered from the mainland of Japan. Now products are flown daily from Haneda Airport near Tokyo by a third-party carrier, allowing Amazon to offer convenient next-day delivery.
