Amazon’s Biggest Ever Deals Event

I checked it a couple of times today and I have yet to see a great deal.

Can u get free delivery?
I tried ordering from the Amazon Germany but there was no option of free super saver delivery?

The foreign versions don't offer free delivery to Ireland.

Why anyone uses amazon.co.uk with the current exchange rate is beyond me.

Stick to Amazon .de .fr or .es

Absolutely.

Plus, Amazon.de won't send random stuff to Ireland. I find it's hit and miss what you can or can't buy, whether from Amazon or warehouse.

You'll find that with Amazon UK as well. And the other Amazon variants. Each have their own "no Ireland" iirc.

and amazon.it .nl and .at (Austria redirects to .de)

http://www.curiua.com/ - Price comparison - converts to Euro, but doesn't include shipping.

http://priceonline.eu/ is another price comparison for Amazon

You have to remember when purchasing from amazon sites based in countries other than the UK that cost of returning something you don't like can be astronomical.
The UK version have an Irish address for returns.

Nope have returned several items postage paid once you choose amazon fulfilled.

Hi All, what's the parcel motel equivalent for Germany, also what are the restrictions on 48" TVs?

Thanks,

Mailbox DE I think - have never used it though

Possibly stupid question but can you buy English language books on .de? I would assume you wouldn't get same selection and the 1p second-hand ones you find on .co.uk

Where do you find the 1p second-hand ones?

Sadly Prime is currently not available to Irish customers. I asked yesterday as I was interested in signing up under the £59.00 offer.

If however someone here has it and it works for them please correct me on this.

I presume someone in Ireland could use prime in conjunction with parcel motel maybe it would work but I've never use it so maybe someone who has can shed some light on it?

Prime is available to Irish customers but the only real benefit is the 'free' delivery. Access to the media offerings is only available by changing DNS settings or using a VPN[/qu

Isn't there also access to kindle library included?

I got a 48" Samsung on amazon.de a while back. It was shipped by Amazon. €415 + €8 shipping. I checked it a month later and couldn't find one that would ship to Ireland but it might be worth your while going through them individually and checking each tv in your price bracket.

I have never paid for a return when using the free delivery or prime option when looking for items. I am just about to return some headphones as we speak.

Where have you been returning to?

On amazon uk I've had to pay to return things unless the goods were faulty, and even then I had to pay and later recoup postage charges back from amazon. Sometimes they send you a postage paid label but it can say that they'll deduct 7 euro from your account for charges if goods are not found to be faulty.

This one ships here, verified by Amazon. €750 delivered.

You can decide yourself if its a good deal. Its certainly dearer on Amazon UK (Link).

That's a good bit over the 550 for the other one. From what I've read the curved is not that great after. Probably not worth 200.

Will have a scout round see is there any for the same price with delivery to Ireland.
