What happens with check out for these deals. Looking at couple of the smaller toys but I'll have to pay postage as under €25, can you pay for them and hold to post together or anything?

They do Yeh but if you send customer services an email saying you didn't get a chance to add stuff to get over 25 quid they sometimes refund the postage costs

If you can time it right and check out with all the deals in one basket its only one postage charge.

You can also sign up for a 30 day Prime trial. Free expedited shipping, just remember to cancel the subscription before the 30 days are up

I just realized, the long, never-ending, scrolling lineup of products reminds me of the Conveyor Belt from the Generation Game.



I hope there is a Cuddly Toy deal soon.

A trick I used last year was to add something that had a wait time on it, either pre order or out of stock till a certain date.
Have that in the basket, check out for free delivery, cancel the dummy item.
Rinse and repeat

Everything gets a discount or selected stuff? Like the tat nobody wants?

The SanDisk memory card is a good price, I got one a few months back when they had them as a daily deal.

Not everything is a good deal

BUT Everything in the lineup does get some form of discount off of the RRP... that does not means it was not on sale at a similar price before on Amazon, or could even be cheaper elsewhere.... or could even be reduced further on Amazon days after this sale ends

Countdown Timers, CountUP Timers, supposed limited quantities, graphs, charts, clocks. There is a lot of physcology going on to make people panic buy things they don't even need.

amazon.de have the Fire HDX for 99e now if its any good for someone

Anyone know, am I right in thinking that you get asked your country on first startup, ie that it wouldn't be restricted to German and that it's exactly the same as buying one from the UK ? Would be difficult to explain why Santa expects German-speakers only.

Only when your order is below a certain limit, Think it is different for different categories but generally all items are free delivery when your order is over £25.

When doing a search for items you can choose the "free super saver delivery" option on the left of the page.

If those items are advertised as free delivery there should be no delivery charge from amazon.co.uk

Everytime I tried that it changed the delivery method for the remaining items:mad:

TheDriver

also remember that the usual amazon price is what they base postage on, not the deal price so you could get free delivery that way. Also have things saved in your basket that you would buy anyways e.g. nappies, shaving foam etc so you can make up the slack.
Don't forget camelx3 to check if the deal is actually ok.

That Crucial MX100 256GB SSD for £59 is a great price. Tempting...

StaticNoise

Nice, but I'd like a bigger size!

Nemeses2050

just got the Roku 3 at 59.99 on a lightning deal...wasn't even looking for it...thought it was a great deal. damn you bargain alerts....:D

zarquon

Need to stay away from these deals. Just bought an mx100 256gb,a 128gb Microsd, a and a duracelll charging kit none of which i actually needed.

Damn that countdown and claimed ribbon!!!!!!

Tar.Aldarion

do rice makers make sushi any better than just normal cooking, anybody use one? Nice price!

manuhalo

I'm waiting for the 24-inch monitor lightning deal, I've been looking for one for months. Might even add the crucial SDD if it's still up by the time the monitor deal comes up. Thanks BA!

Dan Chipowski

Can't make heads nor tails of some of the offers being spoken about on this thread.

Must be for techies only!

That MX100 is an upgrade to my M500 I paid almost €160 for over a year ago. Works out at 79 EUR with free delivery. Cheers for the heads up, had been keeping an eye on another M500 so this is a nice surprise!

Mushy

Looking ahead, some nice bits showing up. Xbox 1, home cinema system thing. Wont be able to afford them now, but theyre nice!

hdowney

That Pixar box set could be good if the price lowers nicely. Will keep my eyes open later.

Shame I'm always skint when these deals come around tho!

Ok I must be doing it wrong, I added a preorder item, then got my deal and checked out for free delivery. Then cancelled the preorder item and got charged postage on the smaller deal item.
Should I have left the preorder item there for another while?
Lost out on the deal as it was gone then for me to try again
