Anyone else come across this? Their delivery rules seem to indicate they are still shipping to Ireland. What's going on? :mad:

Amazon stopped shipping games on all platforms except the PC, as well as all electronic hardware items a few months back, presumably because of the fact that they don't have a policy\system for WEE charges exacted here.

EDIT: First thread on the subject

Well it was PC games I was trying to buy. Aint that long since I had bought on them. :mad:

OK just got their reply.

Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

We can confirm that, at present, we are unable to dispatch
Electronics and Photo, Home and Garden, PC / Videogame and Toy items
to addresses in the Republic of Ireland.

Sales of these products are temporarily restricted as we work to
comply with Irish recycling legislation. We hope to resolve this
issue soon but unfortunately we are unable, at this stage, to
provide a definite timescale.

We do value your custom and sincerely apologise for any
inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for shopping at Amazon.co.uk
