    Amazon Prime free 30day trial and you get free shipping. Not sure if its just free shipping to UK but handy if you use Parcel Motel Belfast address.
    Just remember to change your account subscription settings before the 30day trial ends so that you don't get charged for the next month.

    This isn't a bargain alert, this has been the case for a very long time now, nothing new here.

    Also it's only free shipping to the UK.

    You can only use it once too. As said, not a BA, buy may be of use to someone who hasn't used the internet much.

    Free shipping to ireland for any Amazon shipped item anyway. No need for it to be over £25 as long as its not an add on item.

    Add items you don't want to bump it over £25, complete order and then delete the thing you don't want. When it asks you to ammend your shipping just ignore it.

    Still the case as I'm something that shipped today using same process.

    This thread isn't a Bargain but the above can be helpful to some.

    hi Betty . Not clear with this. Could you or someone explain this in simpler terms... Not that savvy Amazon user. I always or device 25 pound for free delivery but at times the time is not not 25 . So end up buying more

    Add stuff to make 25 euro. Delete them after the order. Still get it delivered for free.

    Don't be ridiculous. You are talking about one of the biggest online sellers in the world with one of the most easily navigated and advanced websites. Removing an item thus reducing the price to under the £25 will obviously result in the system re-evaluating shipping charges where applicable.

    always works for me, or the other way is order item(s) and return the unwanted item(s) free of charge within 7 days using the reason " Reason Incompatible or not useful for intended purpose "

    And yet it still works.

    Kinda easy for people to test for themselves, and canceling if they are charged delivery.

    Also preorder for things that aren't shipping yet can also be used.

    Heres what out for delivery right now.

    Price of item is the total price seen. As you can see total cost doesn't include shipping.

    Haven't tried this before. Do you remove the items before you make the payment or after and then get reimbursed?

    You get stuff shipped to Belfast and PM deliver it to deposit boxes at one of there locations of your choosing (normally a nearby petrol station) or their Finglas depot for items that don't fit in their deposit boxes

    And yet here are folks who've tried it & say it works, consistently.

    And me providing proof from a product I have put for free shipping, screen shots even.

    Perhaps my comment didn't explain it simple enough for dodzy.

    It is amazing though that a company as big as Amazon allow to get by it so easily!
