<\/p>\n
We’ve just received word via an Amazon Marketplace seller that Amazon will start an internal testing phase with a small number of customers from 2PM AEDT Thursday, November 23.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I love how the email says “Please remember all information you receive is confidential”.<\/em>\u00a0Not sure this particular seller read that part as it’s probably the most shared screenshot of the past 24 hours. In Australia anyway.<\/p>\n
Soft launching at 2pm Thursday November 23rd. Expect a smattering of products with most likely Amazon’s own to be available.<\/p>\n
No idea if we’ll see things like Amazon Prime shipping be available but it would be great if they introduced their Alexa service locally, which they’ve just done for Canada.<\/p>\n
