> Polish people still can't order at Amazon.

That is not true. Amazon.de is even available in Polish, with free shipping for €39+ orders.

We can order from amazon.de, it even offers localized UI and (poorly auto-translated) product descriptions.

But yes, I think it's likely that an order from amazon.de goes trough Frankfurt am Oder, as it probably originated from one of many Amazon warehouses in Poland.

Polish people (in fact, people all over the world) can order on Amazon.de, they just can't get the same shipping rates that German customers get.

Ah yes, this is funny, because shipment from a warehouse in Poland to a customer in Germany, placing an order on amazon.de is considered "local", while shipment from this same warehouse to a customer in Poland is "international".

Before COVID there were rumors that Amazon may officially enter Polish market this year with state-owned Polish Post as the local shipping partner.
