    Hi. I'm finding amazon a bit confusing:)
    How do you know the item location when buying from amazon .
    I'm finding it slightly confusing to work out whether they're UK or China?

    Also what's the difference between fulfilled by amazon and prime for irish buyers.I know prime is free delivery over 25.

    thanks

    If seller is Amazon the item would be located in UK for most items, but they also might ship from other EU countries like Germany.

    If seller is 3rd party item could be located in any country, most UK but you could also have some items from china.

    Fulfilled by amazon means the item is sold by 3rd party by it will be posted to you by Amazon.

    Amazon Prime gives free delivery for all your orders BUT only to delivery within UK, you could use Parcel Wizard, Motel or Address Pal to get the item forwarded to you from UK to ireland.

    Amazon gives free delivery to Ireland when order is over €25 but they have some restrictions like perfumes that do not get deliver outside mainland UK, also a few 3rd party sellers might offer free shipping to Ireland.

    Are all Prime and "fulfilled by amazon" items shipped from within EU.
    I got the impression from a review of a fulfilled by amazon item that it came from China, they spoke of a delay.

    Prime is the name of a service they offer that will get the item to your UK address next working day. I don't think there's any Prime specific items but it could be items that they don't have stock in the UK they don't offer prime delivery for them.

    Items sold by Amazon or fulfilled by amazon do come from the EU, it could be the item came from Germany that will take a couple of extra days to arrive, it could also be the feedback is for the item for all the sellers for that item.

    Not all Prime eligible items are shipped by Amazon... And that confuses the hell out of me ;)
