Where noon Food and noon Minutes are not available, a Standard plan gives the noon Express benefit only. Shipping, service and bulky-item fees can still apply.

## Free delivery without a membership

- **Amazon.sa:** orders including SAR 100 or more of eligible items fulfilled by Amazon ship free. Seller-fulfilled items do not count. Otherwise Standard Delivery starts at SAR 12, with 1 to 2 business days to metro areas ([Amazon.sa help](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GZXW7X6AKTHNUP6H)).

- **noon:** fees depend on your city, delivery option and order time, and are shown at checkout. Same-day and next-day delivery are not available everywhere ([noon help](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/delivery-fees-for-ksa-and-uae-24-7-2024)).

## Return windows and refunds

**Amazon.sa** accepts most items within 15 days of receipt. Baby items, clothing, shoes and accessories, and jewellery, luggage, handbags and watches get 30 days. Grocery, gourmet and pet food, and digital games and software cannot be returned. Global Store items have 15 to 30 days, shown on the product page ([Amazon.sa returns policy](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GKM69DUUYKQWKWX7)).

**noon** shows the window on each product page. Items must be unused and in their original packaging. Refunds go to the card used, or to noon credits for cash orders ([noon help](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/what-happens-if-i-want-to-make-a-return-cancellation-24-3-2024), [refunds](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/refund-24-3-2024)).

## COD, Tabby, Tamara and bank instalments

- **Cash on delivery:** Amazon.sa's help page says COD is temporarily unavailable and points to cards, mada, buy now pay later and gift cards. When COD is offered, the fee is SAR 17 ([Amazon.sa COD](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GZSKGA5HH9DSSN27)). noon adds an SAR 18 carrier charge and caps COD orders at SAR 6,500 ([noon COD](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/how-does-cash-on-delivery-work)).

- **Tabby on Amazon.sa:** 4 or 6 equal monthly payments with 0% interest and no fees. The 6-month plan is for eligible items only. Orders must be between SAR 100 and SAR 15,000, with some exceptions above that. Gift cards are excluded ([Amazon.sa Tabby page](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GVWGA4NS6TA6K6UW)).

- **Tamara on Amazon.sa:** the 3-month plan has no fees. The 4-month plan carries a 1% + VAT processing fee. Orders over SAR 3,000 can be split into up to 12 payments, at a murabaha profit of 0% to 2% a month plus the 1% + VAT fee. Orders must be between SAR 100 and SAR 20,000 ([Amazon.sa Tamara page](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=Tapj0RlIWy912e9GbN)).

- **Bank instalments:** Amazon.sa lists Al Rajhi, Banque Saudi Fransi, SNB, Bank AlJazira, Emirates NBD, Riyad Bank, SAIB and SAB, with an SAR 500 minimum for the banks shown. Terms vary: SNB and Al Rajhi offer 3 or 6 months at 0% with no fee, while Bank AlJazira charges SAR 50 ([Amazon.sa instalments](https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202054460)). noon's Easy Instalments start above SAR 1,000 and also accept SAB, Al Rajhi (specific cards), Riyad Bank and others ([noon help](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/easy-installments-everything-you-need-to-know)).

## The SAB noon VISA card

noon's co-branded card in Saudi Arabia is the SAB noon VISA ([noon help](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/what-are-the-key-benefits-of-the-sab-noon-visa-credit-card-7-5-2026)):

- 10% cashback as noon credits on noon, Supermall, noon Food (Jahez orders via noon), noon Minutes, Namshi and Yammak, capped at SAR 1,000 per card per month.

- 2% on international spending and 1% on domestic spending, both unlimited.

- Two years of free noon One.

- An SAR 250 welcome bonus in noon credits.

- 0% instalments over 3, 6 or 12 months on transactions above SAR 500.

The annual fee is SAR 199 + VAT ([noon help](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/is-there-an-annual-fee-for-the-sab-noon-visa-credit-card)). We did not find an Amazon.sa co-branded card in Amazon.sa's payment help pages.

## Promo codes, bank offers and BNPL rules

noon's discount rules are the same in both countries:

- One discount per order, so a code or noon credits blocks a bank offer.

- Bank discounts apply automatically to the eligible physical card, not through Apple Pay ([noon bank partnerships](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/bank-partnerships-everything-you-need-to-know)).

- Coupon cashback is paid as noon credits that cannot be withdrawn ([coupon cashback](https://help.noon.com/portal/en/kb/articles/coupon-cashback-uae-ksa)).

Saudi Arabia's central bank regulates buy now, pay later. SAMA's rules bar stores from passing extra fees to the consumer and cap plans at 12 instalments. The rulebook gives a per-consumer cap of SAR 10,000 in outstanding BNPL financing, but notes that a circular dated 24 December 2025 increased it; the new figure is not shown on that page ([SAMA rulebook](https://rulebook.sama.gov.sa/en/node/6523)).
