Why would you do that when it's only €22.79 on Argos

I understand that Amazon wont deliver perfumes, after shaves etc to here. At least thats the way it was when I last ordered about 2 years ago

Because it's not available in a lot of stores, also highlights that it's not exactly a bargain.

Use Parcel motel with Amazon.

Not sure, I've ordered it anyway to Parcel motel with no problems.

Persisting? I only mentioned it once.

I've a pamphlet here with a how to guide as I predicted your question. Send me on your address.

No need. Here's a screen grab showing on the left hand side where amazon wont deliver to Ireland and on the right side the exclusions in relation to non mainland UK deliveries.

Could it be that Louis Van Haal is buying from a seller and not directly from Amazon or might not be the same product.

From the seller 'Long Ball Direct Ltd.' on Amazon :pac:

NotCominBack · 13-02-2015 2:56pm

I've bought some cologne, deodorant etc from Amazon before, probably was from supplier rather than Amazon itself, have to say it was suspect whether it was snide or not - wouldn't buy that kinda stuff from there again- too easy to copy

Correct, thanks for clearing that up Nava. I can put my pamphlet back in my suitcase.

Where can you buy e-books for this without going about the rooting, connecting to computer, converting files etc.

Amazon only sell Kindle editions, Book Depository don't sell e-books, Eason sell Kobo and their site says that some e-books have Drm. What other online bookshops are there?

Thanks. That site says you have to register the device on their site and you need a US address. Am I missing something here

you can always use calibre to organize books and convert them in various formats.

for ebooks you can use mobilism.me/viewforum.php?f=1292

If you download the free kindle for ereader app (also available for tablets etc) you can get the books in the relevant format direct from amazon. I use it a lot on my tablet and find it great and there's a good selection of free books available

If you already have an aerial in the house you are sorted , if not maybe a mains powered rabbit ears will sort you out

Shmah · 14-02-2015 4:33pm

Sorry I'm clueless about tvs and free view / saorview. Can I buy that LG tv and come home from argos, plug it in and get free view channels without an aerial? I live in an apartment and we aren't allowed but aerials / dishes up. There are sky dishes on the roof which cover the whole building but I guess these won't give me saorview!

Have one of these tvs reserved so any advice gratefully welcomed!
