Up to date (July 2023) guide to ordering Amazon to IL here: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=109596.msg2731358#msg2731358

Older guide:
Would love this thread to help people not to make mistakes and prevent aggravation!
I will start

1. Always add a working contact Israeli number starting with +972/
2. Always make sure to add your Passport/ת''ז ontime within First day or 2 of your order if not your order will be canceled.
3. Never put in a pickup destination if you don`t want to go pick it up and wait the courier must bring it to your door. (do not answer the Text/Email asking you where to drop off)
4. If your order doesn't come ontime you could get a Credit for late timing try chating.
5. Never exceed the value of $75.00
6. make sure you have $49.00 of eligible items
7. Beware that if you send a few packages close together, they may still charge you TAX/VAT so it is best to wait a few days in between or try getting them different dates or different couriers, or send one on your name and one on your wifes or neighbors. Or to a family member, needs to be over the age of 18
8. You can get subscribe and save discounts (5%) on your first order, but you can't actually subscribe and save.
9. There are 2 types of zip codes use the 7 digit that starts with a "9"

Here is a list of Couriers that ship with Amazon to Israel

This is nearly a week in and I still haven't made an order. Definitely not enough items available for shipping

I made an order. I will try to update when I get it.

From what I can tell so far, It's a little tricky to fall right into the $65-74.99 bracket in order to get the free shipping without paying tax. It also seems like Amazon calculates the purchase sum for tax purposes based on the original sell price before discounts so if you buy something for $76 and use a discount such as an AMEX 20% off promotion, according to Amazon you still need to pay tax.
It remines to see if the tax would actually be assessed in the above described situation. Anyone with personal experience?

On the bright side, it seems like there are whole new categories such as kids toys that are eligible for the free shipping this round.

The fact that so many things ship to Israel but not free is what's so strange.
In the past, most items that weren't available for free shipping, weren't eligible for shipping to Israel at all.

Are Amazon GC eligible for free shipping to Israel? Can you use them as a filler item?

BH! I'm finally seeing a significant increase in products eligible for free shipping to Israel!
Shoes have a ton of options now with free shipping to Israel, while I didn't see any last week. (Can often be worth paying tax if it's more than $75, because with the free shipping it's still much cheaper than what's available here (on the brand names))

How much is this import tax? Is it based only on amount above $75 or on entire order amount if it exceeds $75?

Is there any way to filter based on free shipping? Sometimes it's on the left side and sometimes it's not?

Kinda, there is a chrome extension that color codes items... not really a filter
