Amazon is moving into the Netherlands. “Amazon Confirms Netherlands Expansion” states:
Amazon has said it plans to expand its Amazon.nl site by making physical product categories available to Dutch customers later this year. The e-commerce seller launched an e-book shop on Amazon.nl in 2014, but physical products have been offered via a Dutch language option on Amazon’s Germany country site. Netherlands-based customers have also been offered Prime membership since 2017. Amazon has also announced that third-party sellers in the Netherlands and around the world can now register their accounts in preparation for the launch.
