    Some excellent prices, you have to look around and some get withdrawn or sold out quickly. Full discount appears at checkout.

    You may have to use Parcel Motel\Parcel Wizard on some orders, but they still work out great prices.

    Amazon FRANCE

    Amazon ITALY

    Amazon GERMANY

    The Sharkoon Skiller Pro I bought my Nephew 2 days ago for €45 is on Amazon.de for €18.... :(

    EDIT:

    Nope, phew. I went with a different model.

    I had to look that up to check what it was. I was hoping it was going to something associated with the sharksploitation movies like sharknado or sharktopus. but no, it's a fancy ass keyboard.

    When you go to checkout the 30% discount is applied
    and you have to purchase from Amazon Warehouse Deals

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00EAOZTCG/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

    Used Very Good is the best option for that one - £40.04 (£28.73 at checkout)
    Amazon Currency Converter says = €41.06 Delivered.

    £44.00 is the price of the item brand new.

    This offer pertains to open box / Amazon warehouse stock & as such, when the discount kicks in at checkout, you'll get a Freesat HD box for €40 or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,006 ✭✭✭beno619


    Is there a quicker way finding out what items the discount can be applied to ? Has no luck with the ones I've thrown in the basket.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,696 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    This is a good website for checking Amazon https://www.curiua.com/dp/B010LUOVLW
    Most deliver to Ireland but postage of most things can be up to €10 from Germany etc when it's free from the UK
    PS4 in the link above for €273.99 from UK

    stick to the sidebar to select categories, brands, etc. if you search or go outside these filters, it'll start pulling in items that aren't included in the sale.

    There are some good discounts there, just needs a bit of patience to filter down thru the categories.

    I just picked up a new R9 290 Trix OC for €220 with damaged packaging. Sweet deal as now I can xfire .

    Thanks op.

    I can't for the life of me get this to work.

    You have to select an item that is in stock in the Amazon Warehouse... however,not all the items in there are on sale. You will see a 30% off at the right side of the screen on the discounted items after you select to see what sellers have the item for sale,

    Example ,
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00IGS9LU8/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all&qid=1450546095&sr=1-1

    Note the Amazon Warehouse stock has 30% off.

    The 30% reduction is applied when you go through the cart payment process.
    It took me a while as well. I cant see any reduction on the Spanish Amazon, I think it's just 30% off there on everything.

    ps, I can see the discount on Amazon Spain but it will not post to my address.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    If I try your link it works. If I try this one it doesn't work. No 30% off listed in the details like in your I've.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/ol/B011LRKSNY/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    I think it's limited to the items under the promotional banner, next few pages and sold by Amazon.

    I had a few items in my basket and there was only £7 discount, so it only applied to one item.
    Most of the Amazon Spain items don't ship outside Spain, I missed the Dremel on the UK site and got it on the Spanish, but they wouldn't ship to here. I eventually got it on the Amazon Germany site and was only €4 more than the UK site including shipping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    I can't for the life of me get this to work.

    It's a bit hit and miss for me as well. Thought the offer had ended last night when no discount appeared at the end of the checkout process.

    I've had better luck when attempting to purchase from my PC, compared to never having the reduction apply when accessing the mobile Amazon site on my phone.

    I'm on my phone at the moment. I'll wait until later and see how I get on using the PC.

    As Allyall said. I think it's only the items after you click on the 30% off offer as per the links in the op.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭Dard23


    I can't for the life of me get this to work.

    I figured it out. On mobile there is no 30% off banner. You have to click the banner to find the products that are 30% off.

    Apparently running until the 31st of December changing selected deals every random day, and the final day will have them all (That didn't sell out). Like the Steam sale.

    Some are just open-box or refurbished.
    I don't think they'd sell used earphones..

    I hope not.

    Have you got a link to this?

    I ordered a Tplink Archer C9 for €75 yesterday. I'd been looking at getting one for ages so this was a great deal.

    Thanks OP

    You can sort by Computers -> Components -> Computer Cases

    On all of the Amazons. Weirdly I did it and saw a few for £34 - £40 on Amazon UK before the discount, I was going to link here, but when I went to sort them, they changed to different ones..
    They must have sold out of a few in the past hour. No doubt Germany will have some good ones too.

    Sorry to be a pain but if you wouldn't mind could you link them please - I can't seem to find any with the 30% off :o
    Only need something I can use for internet and maybe download a few games - the likes of Minecraft - nothing too heavy duty. I asked on the computer forum for a bit of guidance but haven't had any replies .... thinking an i3 or i5 processor with maybe 500GB or 1TB (??)

    thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭Dard23


    Amazon UK , basically I had all the sites open on to the 30% discount page (except Spain which doesn't seem to want to deliver here). I narrowed down the results to Mobiles, Samsung on each site, then every few minutes I just refreshed the pages, as soon as this came up I grabbed it! I could have had a Galaxy Note 4 for 300 either but I wanted the s6. They are infrequent and generally gone in a couple of minutes so be quick!

    It was around 330 pounds down to 227 in basket, or something like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,970 ✭✭✭jonerkinsella

    Looking at a graphics card but I'm wary:

    Condition and notes:
    Used - Very Good
    Item will come repackaged. Small cosmetic imperfection (less than 2.5cm x 2.5cm) on front of item. Small cosmetic imperfection (less than 2.5cm x 2.5cm) on top of item. Small cosmetic imperfection (less than 2.5cm x 2.5cm) on sides of item. Small cosmetic imperfection (less than 2cm x 2cm) on bottom of item. Small cosmetic imperfection (less than 2.5cm x 2.5cm) on back of item. Small (less than 2.5cm x 2.5cm) cosmetic imperfection on the interior of item. All purchases eligible for Amazon customer service and a 30-day return policy. « Show less

    Interior damage?? Sounds fairly banged up!

    No, currency exchanges will mean a loss on the refund. Buying a card with physical damage is asking for trouble- there's a reason it was returned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,300 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    Is there supposed to be a second reduction after adding to the basket? The deals I am seeing are not great (109 rather than 119 new for Sony Smartwatch 3 for example)
