After launching an e-commerce website in France last year, De Bijenkorf is opening an online store in Austria, according to Ecommerce News.

The launch of De Bijenkorf’s online store in Austria was actually planned for the second half of 2020. In February 2020, it announced that it would open online stores in Wallonia, France, and Austria in the autumn. The first two stores have already been opened, but the Austrian online shop took a while.

The launch allows Austrian customers to buy fashion, cosmetics, accessories, travel, and home goods from over a thousand brands in the online store. What is more, orders placed before 14:00 will be delivered to their homes within two working days.

According to the press release, for customers with a guest account, shipping is free for orders above €25. Otherwise, there will be an additional €3.95 for shipping costs. Shipping is free by default however for so-called Privilege Members. In any case, both types of customers have a hundred days to change their minds.

We’ve reported that eBay and Payoneer announced a partnership.
