TEHRAN - Iranians can now make online shopping from major retailers Amazon and eBay through a delivery channel established by the Iran Post Company, its managing director says.

“From now on, Iranian citizens can directly buy from Amazon and eBay international retail sites (abroad) and receive their goods in Iran,” Hossein Mehri said Wednesday, Fars reported.

“In our cooperation with eBay and Amazon, an intermediary company has been selected because of sanctions in order to change dollar into rial which will also receive post and customs expenses,” he added.

Mehri said Iran Post Company has also started negotiations with post service providers, courier companies and online retailers such as Digikala, Iran’s biggest online store, to deliver packages.

He hoped the arrangements would also make package deliveries from Iran to foreign countries possible.
