    Seems like great value and this is a great little speaker with good sound for such a small device, other colours available for same price

    Contact them and let them know about the price change, they should refund the difference. If not, just tell them you want to return the one you have and buy another thats cheaper, then they should refund....

    They still sell these for 30 euro in curry's and other electrical shops. Rip off Republic as usual, annoys me because if they didn't charge such a premium we would support Irish jobs but for practically a third of the price online why would we.

    Small Irish businesses don't have the buying power and pull of Amazon, the largest online goods website in the world.

    The quality of the sound from them is excellent.

    Seriously? Curry's is a massive UK retailer. They charge whatever they want!

    Would this kind of speaker work in a car? My car is old so I only use the radio.

    Well they're kinda fooked then because if they can't compete on price then customer service is their only remaining advantage. And from what I've seen of Irish electrical retailers they're not so hot on the customer service element either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,488 ✭✭✭Bazzy


    Great piece of kit altogether we have 2 here herself got a much bigger grey on in the states

    Some sound for such a small device


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 705 ✭✭✭cintec


    delivery is £6.90 for me

    Spend at least around £24 on stuff sold by Amazon for free delivery.

    I ordered 3 and got free delivery. You have to spend £25 I think for free delviery to Ireland or else use Parcel Motel to keep delivery costs down.

    €40 for 3 units delivered.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 705 ✭✭✭cintec


    once my basket was over £25 shipping was free thanks

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭long_b


    Thanks OP - ordered 3, they'll make great little presents.

    Do watch your colour choice folks, some (like purple) are over 20 GBP

    In my experience, Amazon are absolutely first rate when it comes to customer service. Doubt any bricks and mortar store here would have a prayer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    I paid 50€ for that exact speaker in Tesco two years ago. It's a fantastic device.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,433 ✭✭✭NomadicGray


    First I dont need the speaker that Im buying anyways due to the price, now I have to buy more to get free delivery

    I bought this,to use, in my car.

    The car radio is a load of ****e and won't save stations, for me.

    We need to organise a buyers' club for BAs such as this. Divvy-up at a beers for this one, where suddenly all the speakers start blaring at once; track to be chosen by the actual buyer.

    Even better, the speakers all start blaring at onced from pockets/bags while the club is walking down the road later. Everyone looks around with a wtf expression on their face...

    Not your ornery onager



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Looks like it's gone up to £18 now and even more for other colours!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,383 ✭✭✭peckerhead


    What's more annoying is that I put one of these in my basket last night at £9.97, meaning to find other stuff today to bring the total over £24, and now it's gone. Not "no longer in stock", or with an increased price notification ...just gone. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46 geronimofinch


    He who hesitates sees savings lost.

    Did the same myself FFS!

    Wouldn't be in the mood to buy one now, was going to throw in an umbrella and all this morning. Oh well.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭blastman


    Not bluetooth, though, but they are a great little speaker and that's about half the price or less they go for in bricks'n'mortar here.
