    Contact them and let them know about the price change, they should refund the difference. If not, just tell them you want to return the one you have and buy another thats cheaper, then they should refund....

    They still sell these for 30 euro in curry's and other electrical shops. Rip off Republic as usual, annoys me because if they didn't charge such a premium we would support Irish jobs but for practically a third of the price online why would we.

    Small Irish businesses don't have the buying power and pull of Amazon, the largest online goods website in the world.

    Seriously? Curry's is a massive UK retailer. They charge whatever they want!

    Well they're kinda fooked then because if they can't compete on price then customer service is their only remaining advantage. And from what I've seen of Irish electrical retailers they're not so hot on the customer service element either.

    I ordered 3 and got free delivery. You have to spend £25 I think for free delviery to Ireland or else use Parcel Motel to keep delivery costs down.

    €40 for 3 units delivered.:)

    In my experience, Amazon are absolutely first rate when it comes to customer service. Doubt any bricks and mortar store here would have a prayer.

    We need to organise a buyers' club for BAs such as this. Divvy-up at a beers for this one, where suddenly all the speakers start blaring at once; track to be chosen by the actual buyer.

    Even better, the speakers all start blaring at onced from pockets/bags while the club is walking down the road later. Everyone looks around with a wtf expression on their face...

    Not your ornery onager

    What's more annoying is that I put one of these in my basket last night at £9.97, meaning to find other stuff today to bring the total over £24, and now it's gone. Not "no longer in stock", or with an increased price notification ...just gone. :(

    Not bluetooth, though, but they are a great little speaker and that's about half the price or less they go for in bricks'n'mortar here.
