Amazon Opens in Mexico

Online retail giant Amazon.com has opened its Mexico site for business, offering free delivery on orders of over 599 pesos ($38.25). A statement posted on the Amazon.com.mx site Tuesday said “we are launching in Mexico with more categories, more items and more functions than any other international Amazon website has featured at launch.” Online shopping in Mexico has been limited, in part because of unreliable postal service and difficulties with home deliveries.
