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
https://www.israelpost.co.il

When I enter in my Israeli Zipcode starting with 9 and has 5 digits in total I get:
"Please enter a valid ZIP or postal code"

Anyone know a work around?

Oh did not mean to. Just had question regarding Shipping to Israel with Amazon and was unable to find another good thread to ask in...
(Since) I really don't enjoy creating new threads for no reason.
If you look at my posts I'll go back to threads that are inactive for years before creating a new one.  :)

Actually seems to be very very limited now. I'm finding barely anything that's covered by the free shipping. Plenty of items that are sold by Amazon are not showing free shipping even over $65

Another key issue is finding the sweet spot above $65, but below the $75 custom trigger  :-X

I think if enough filler items get added, that won't be an issue

DP: It has to be over $65 to each address. I tried splitting an order (some to me, some to my wife - tax purposes) and theres no free shipping if its under $65.

Thank you!

Some categories of items are limited, such as toys, shoes, books... but there is more being added every day!

would be nice to have a more reliable source. to quote the blog post -

Amazon US brought back free shipping on many items to Israel! (This happened out of the blue last night)

The item must be SBA or FBA in order to qualify, in addition there are categories and certain items that do not ship at or or just cost money to import.

SBA = Sold by Amazon
FBA = Fulfilled by Amazon
FBM = Fulfilled by Merchant

The import deposit fee and VAT still apply when the order cost exceeds $75.

Not all items have propagated this change yet, so add to cart and be patient! 

Lastly, you need to reach the minimum  of $65 spent to hit the free shipping threshold... This has been pushed from $49 before the pandemic...

The secret goal would be to hit between $65 and $75 to get free shipping and avoid paying Import Deposit Fees (VAT)
