“We’re excited to officially kick off the holiday season in Singapore bringing Prime members great deals every day, on everything they’ll need for the festive season – from electronics and toys to home and party essentials and more,” said Kourosh Kaghazian, Country Manager, Amazon Singapore in a statement on November 8.

On November 15 he said that it has been humbling to see how customers have engaged with Amazon since the July launch. "Prime is all about offering customers a service that makes it easier and more convenient and fun for them," he said.

"We're not done yet; there's still a lot we need to do," he said. "We're still obsessed with what the customer wants."

Amazon has made the most popular items available in Singapore from day one, he added, and is shipping items anticipated to be popular to Singapore, so they can be delivered quickly.

"Singaporeans put a lot of emphasis on convenience and we want to have a good selection," noted Henry Low, Director, Asia Pacific - Global Specialty Fulfilment at Amazon. He also shared that 79 of the 80 postal sectors supported by Amazon had ordered from the company the first month after launch.

Popular items include unsweetened green tea, broccoli, and toys, he said.
