Don't need anything either - hoped it might work for gift cards but doesn't.

smallgarden

pity it doesnt work with items fulfilled by amazon. Its difficult to limit search to purely amazon and theres not much left when you do

Tony

Thanks OP , just hit the wish list for a few items

EnergyPro

Or this? And pick up something else for a tenner..

dodzy

Don't know if its been mentioned, but anything 'Prime' is also eligible for the tenner off. The 240GB Sandisk Ultra SSD is a fantastic upgrade for any sluggish laptop. £53 all in to your door.

The on-ear Sennheiser momentum 1 is reduced to £59.99 in pink (:P) If I cant stick the colour the missus can have 'em!

Thanks OP, just the excuse I needed for that item on my wishlist nobody got me for xmas.

NeverWaining

Used this myself, for something I hadn't intended to buy!

Incidentally I don't really use Amazon anymore. They're just too slow. It takes me two weeks to get anything from them. I'll get a shipping notice for today's order at the end of next week. I know they probably just want me to sign up to Prime but I have no interest. I can find everything elsewhere, usually cheaper.

beardybrewer

The 1.5 week wait is just a fact of life with ordering from the UK. I don't think Prime would make a bit of difference unless you are UK based?

In the end, where are you going to get the value and selection Amazon offers in Ireland? It it the great equaliser that lets us escape rip-off Ireland.

Niska

Thanks.
Used it to preorder a game I had my eye on.

normally 5-7 days for anything i've ordered recently...but if you can find stuff cheaper then care to share where?

thanks op just ordered myself a few things i had my eye on- and had the excuse to buy the random add on items i never seem to be able to get!

I'm an Amazon user for eleven years. Believe me I haven't just imagined the slow down. Google it and you'll find plenty of examples from the last couple of years. I still buy a lot of stuff from the UK, almost none of it from Amazon these days. Amazon takes me twice the time anything else does if not more.

Incidentally a relative who never uses Amazon received an order in four working days recently. That's how it used to be for me, but not in a long, long time. I do have to wonder if I opened a new account would they see me less as a Prime member candidate and more as somebody they have to work on to keep my custom.


There's nowhere else for the selection but I can guarantee you that there is plenty of value elsewhere. Amazon have a few good deals now and again but most products can be found cheaper elsewhere.

if you know of cheaper retailers then it's your obligation, nay your duty, to tell the rest of us - it's in the Charter*

*may not be, i've never read it, but it should be!

Darwin

Thanks OP, hard to refuse a tenner off. I have an order in at the moment but don't really want to cancel (and reorder with the discount) as it has been showing 'shipping today' for the last two days. Have to agree that amazon uk have gotten horribly slow in recent times. However I have had reason to return items on several occasions and their customer service is what keeps me coming back.

Shop around. As just one example I had a item in my wishlist that I threw into my order today. It was £11.59 or something like that. ~€15. Highly reviewed and rated. Not something that will break the bank but I didn't actually need it to avail of this offer as my other item was £63 so I thought I'd just have a look on eBay before I pressed confirm.
Identical item was £4.65 shipped, ~€6.20.

Now there are obviously not always those kinds of savings. But I bet most people would just press confirm without shopping around (I almost did).

Regarding their customer service I had a poor experience lately but I'd still call it one of the best. Previous to this they have always been fantastic. If you have an issue they will sort you out.

bennyob

Thanks OP. I went for a ssd that i had my eye on.

The_Conductor

Is this a multiple use voucher- aka can you place a few orders of >£50 and get a couple of tenners off- or is it limited to a single use?

pissed

Read over on HUKD it's one per account.

Useful link if you are stuck to take your order over the£50. Not all links work but managed to find a ruler for 40p which took my order over

once off. had to use a different account to use it again.

C.K Dexter Haven

Nice one OP- taking into account free shipping that's a nice EUR20+ saving

alastair_doom

Cheers. Also works on warehouse stuff

Bought 2 really nice pairs of shoes for a total of €66

Great offer thanks, remember if you got a £7 code from the offer here you can use both codes

beardybrewer

Did anyone else find their website or app was slow last night? I spend ages trying to sneak in a second order. Placed it but it came back cancelled. Turned out I'd entered the expiry wrong on the new account (fecking chrome got it wrong? am I meant to remember myself?). Was 11:59, promotion was applied, but by the time I got to the final screen it was midnight and it disappeared. Don't know why I was wasting my Friday night mucking with that. The lengths we go through for a bargain, eh?

They are noticeably slower than they were 2 years ago and one assumes this is to promote the Prime service.

You can get around this by contacting them on chat and asking them to prioritize the order. A 2 week delivery date was reduced to 4 days after I did this.

beardybrewer

I didn't think Prime was of any use here in Ireland?

I believe there's a perceived lack of value when, despite Amazon upping the cost, some of the advertised benefits (to 'justify' the cost) don't apply to customers outside the UK. The video service is quite limited/non-existent, iirc.

The item I purchased with this offer actually shipped today. Although it did ship from Germany and I feel this may have something to do with it. Expected delivery is Friday, which is fine.

I'm still waiting on an order I made last Monday to ship from the UK, which is more the norm.

It is if you use Parcel Wizard or Parcel Motel for the one day delivery it offers.

I made an order. A few hours later I checked, and it had been dispatched. That's good. But the expected delivery date is Feb 3rd, almost two weeks later. The carrier is i-Parcel, so it's quite likely to be even later than that - I've never had an on-time delivery from i-Parcel. It's definitely not the "4-5 business days" stated when completing the order.

I can understand that "free" delivery costs money, and Amazon needs to control costs. And it doesn't help when there are people abusing loopholes to get free shipping for cheap items. Presumably i-Parcel is cheaper than normal post for many orders.

It would be nice to have the option of cancelling the order when Amazon decides to use a "sub-prime" carrier though. Or if they could improve the accuracy of the site that displays the delivery timeframe.

It's not a big deal for this order, but people need to be aware of how Amazon delivery has changed when time is important, e.g. Christmas.

Is this code still working? and it seems almost everything i click on gives the message "this item cannot be delivered to Ireland", i have bought lots of stuff from Amazon over the years and only very recently I've been getting that message.

Try Parcel Motel as it gives you an UK address.
