Amazon doesn't ship PCs to Ireland?

thepresident

A very odd thing happened, I wanted to buy a PC on Amazon (sold & shipped by Amazon), but for some I get a message "Sorry, we can't deliver this item to Ireland". Checked other PCs and the same message comes up. I bought 5 or 6 PCs (among all other things) in the last couple years without any problems. Can anyone shed a light on this as it seems very strange. Thanks

this has come up here before. I think the explanation was that the size of them made shipping to ireland impractical for amazon.

You could always use parcel motel with the northern ireland address but obviously it will cost you for this sevice, but it is a work around for companies that only post to the UK

I posted about this a few weeks ago. I cant paste urls so search "Why have Amazon stopped delivering PC's to Ireland?"

Update: ships now again, at least All-In-One's, not sure about tower PCs though
