Amazon does not currently ship to Guyana. You will need a third-party service like Planet Express to ship your item directly to Guyana by air or sea.

Shipping by air takes less time, but this method is more suitable for lightweight packages since the charges are by weight. It is worth waiting a few weeks for your shipment by sea if it is a large or heavy package.

Many people do not know this, but Amazon Prime does work in Guyana, with orders eligible for free shipping within the USA.

How do I pay for an Amazon online shopping order from Guyana?

When you place an order on Amazon, you can pay with a debit card, credit card, US-based bank accounts, Amazon Wallet, or Amazon gift cards.

If you are using Republic Bank, they usually lock their Visa One Card. To use the card, you must request that they open the card each time you wish to pay Amazon. This process is stressful, which is why I recommend using Amazon Wallet or an Amazon Gift Card. Amazon will be able to take out the funds for the transactional payment via your wallet or gift card. This method prevents the payment or transaction from being canceled.

Also, you may use other bank cards from the other recognized banks in Guyana. 

Some individuals, however, choose to take advantage of the “shop for me” service by Planet Express. You pay the company, and they will purchase the product with their credit card. It is that simple.
