    Hi,

    Sorry if it's already been asked, but i can't find it..

    If i buy something from Amazon.co.uk, can i buy anything that qualifies for super saver delivery, and get free postage? (As long as it's over £25.)

    It's generally only things sold by amazon.co.uk itself that attract free delivery for orders over Stg£25.

    All you have to do, though, is try. You can pull out of any purchase after seeing whether charges will apply to your particular order.

    You'll also be able to see if it will be delivered to Ireland - not everything is.

    Thanks, i was looking at buying an LCD panel, and was just thinking if i added something that qualified, i'd get free delivery.
    As it turns out, i got it on Ebay for €15 less.

    I just put in an order for 2 books and a health supplement with Amazon. I went with the free delivery when it came up and didn't think it would be an option. I thought I'd pop on here in case anyone wasn't aware of it. When looking up an item it says whether it's eligible for free delivery!
    I'm delighted. I was only going to be able to afford the one book but with free delivery I squeezed in a second on my 3V card. Now for the wait though. I'm to expect my order from between the 12th and 18th of April. :eek: Be warned about the wait. It doesn't bother me for this order so I'm happy out.

    I have checked before and got stuff from 2 random departments and it did have free delivery. e.g. you could get a bike tyre and some random cheap £2 DVD just to get it past the limit.

    Also when you get to checkout it will include Irish VAT, so if your item is £24.50 it might be over the £25 limit at checkout so no need to add more before this (I think). Also I am pretty sure one time I got offered free delivery on an item which was a little under the £25 limit, can't recall what it was but it was light so might have been cheap for them to post.

    You can find cheap items on amazon here which even allows you to set a max price in your search
