    I was going to buy this but given the fact that they are using an exchange rate of £1 = €2 (£7.99 apparently equals €15.99) I am going to skip it :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    seriously talk about ripping people off

    I still think it was a good price. Ordered two, the code worked for me so got free shipping. Thanks Ruu!

    last time I ordered something from this site ,the order was delivered in a huge box ,easily costing €8 to deliver.

    This is a bargain given you get €8 off the order.

    It's GBP 25 on Amazon, EUR 27.80 on Eason's website, before delivery, so it's still a good deal.

    I wondered what their opinion on the subject was:
    We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or confusion that might have arisen out of our pricing policy in the Republic of Ireland. The prices offered in mainland Britain reflect the much greater population density and lower mailing costs, therefore we are able to pass these savings directly on to those customers. The discounts offered in Republic of Ireland remain incredibly competitive and we are very keen that customers in the Republic of Ireland are not disadvantaged by not being offered our mail order service at all.

    If you have any further enquiries regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Kind Regards,

    Charlotte Sinclair
    Customer Service Manager

    They're a good company ,they rang my mobile about an order before a christmas.
    Really friendly girl on the phone ,making sure everything was alright.
    That was for a fairly small order with free delivery aswell ,so they seem genuine about irish customers.
