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

a lot of items come out cheaper then in local stores so why not order as in US people could buy the same things local for cheaper

It definitely makes sense, but still surprised me that Israelis are ordering more than any other country.
But I don't know if Amazon offers free shipping to any other countries. I do know that there's more sales than Canada and Mexico where we're already set up for free prime shipping to customers.

My first package was shipped with I-parcel to my door. My second is sitting in the Israel Post for a week already. My next 2 orders are showing they are being shipped with Israel Post. Any way to get these shipped to my door free? I complained to Amazon by chat that the Doar is a 5 minutes drive from my home (that's besides for the long lines), and they gave me a $5 promotional credit, and promised me it would eventually come to my door, if I don't pick up. Still waiting...
Just switched my contact # to my IL cell, after seeing someone mentioned that upthread. Any chance of that helping? (I-parcel managed to call me, even with just a US number...)

Did you get a notice to pick them up or are you just seeing they're at the post office based on tracking?

While I don't know if it will help for the current packages, a local number is important. I've been called on 100% of my orders. The doar is notorious for pretending to attempt delivery.
Also, make an appointment online for doar. Will be almost zero wait time.

Like he said, local number is very important. And changing it now won't help, it is included as part of your order, doar won't be updated with the new number
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

you can try updating it on your דואר account
if you go to "orders" on your Amazon account then you will see shiped with... and a diffrent tracking number use that number to contact דואר it should work.
NEVER CHOOSE A DROP OFF DESTINATION because then they won`t have to bring it to your door.

This is the most important piece of advice. All the shipping companies will send messages seeming like it's required. That's just them trying to get out of their obligation to bring it to your house

Only order already at the Doar won't get updated, or any order processed?

I've never been asked to pick a drop-off location. It's always automatically the same Doar branch.

Don’t take it they must bring it to your house.  If they don’t bring it contact Amazon

Some smaller towns in Israel are all being processed like that. Are you in Jerusalem?

Those companies never really went to the door. Amazon has been different.
