Perhaps, perhaps not on the refund. I don't know how it works or if you get all the unused months back pro-rata.

I do know that I have not been able to take out the 59 GBP Prime as I already had a previous Prime sub and the offer did not apply to my account. However if you add another person to your Amazon household and they have not had Prime before, you can get the deal on their account and you all share the benefits....

How does that work? Do they have a separate account?

Is 5 off 25 still available for Prime members? I can't seem to find that post here.

Thanks

Separate account. Same address. Can't recall if it checked the registered card address when adding the other adult to the household. Probably...

You've described me there as well. My orders so far this year are nearly triple those of last year.

If I was building I would wire up the house with Cat 6 ethernet cable.

Yeah, added at checkout. I'm a prime member, used on a prime item sold by Amazon

Only realised the other day that I can share my prime member for free 2 day delivery

Loads of good random movies on prime
Have the folks setup on my account watching prime video as well as myself.
Prime music have great classic rock playlists. Stick in the headphone and off I go. Rocking in the free world.
Also have my sister using free delivery

Duty is payable on point of entry to the EU.
It’s already being paid on goods coming from the UK, is it refundable on goods leaving? Might it balance out?
Aldo ignoring the Irish warehouse. They could fulfill from an EU warehouse as they already do with some stuff

Eh? That his point. The uk will no longer be within the eu so anything shipping from there to Ireland will incur duty.

Duty is payable at the final destination by the way so even if it goes through another eu country, duty is payable here.

Beauty with them is unlike an ikad yiu can upgrade the memory. We got one of the kids a fire 7 last black Friday with a 32GB card and we always upgrade that.

Seriously impressive for the price.

Someone mentioned they had an issue using the seesaw app during lockdown, we had no problems.

The fire is a good but not great budget system. You can buy better direct from China if you don't care about names that are well known here.

Amazon return policy is sometimes worth it though considering returning to China if a pain in the arse generally and kills any saving you made in the first place.

But can you not claim it back on exports, so it’ll be there will be no change , especially if they use bonded warehouses . Also many goods like electrical and sports equipment have 0 duty

I moved house last month. Yesterday my postman and I chatted at the kitchen table over coffee after his daily delivery.

But two connections in each room and 4 in both sitting room and kitchen run all the cables back to the attic when you can set up a comms cabinet with switch and connect router to switch so all rooms are live when you need it.

It might be an idea to run a cable (or 2) from where you expect the internet to enter your house up to the attic. I can imagine the eir or whoever installer not wanting to do anything more than their usual basic setup.

I’m sure the social-distancing brigade will be along soon to admonish you!

Are PC components likely to be reduced. Fans, SSDs, ram etc? Halfway through a build I want to finish, but I'll wait if I have to.

This is why I'd buy a Fire when on special, no issues with after sales support.

A little off topic but I'm sure one of you fabulous lot in here can answer this for me!! I’ve just ordered iPhone 11 from Amazon.de saved over €200. I’m freaking out a bit even tho I choose my address and it showed properly when I got the confirmation it said posting to Danielle Wicklow Ireland! Is this normal on the .de site or do I need to contact them and make sure they enter the full address on the package!!

Thanks all.

It doesn't show the full address in the email nor when you check the order details in your Amazon.de account?

Email confirmation for my .co.uk purchases always use an abridged address and I get them all.

For my example my order last night says it is being delivered to

Dublin

As long your full address is on your .de account you should be fine.

Any ideas why Amazon.de will post some stuff to UK a non EU member but won't post to Ireland, a full EU member. I recently had to have a parcel sent to Parcel Wizard for delivery to me.

Most stuff I order from EU sites is fulfilled from their UK warehouses.

Also they have a better logistics channel between other EU warehouses and UK. With one in Rathcoole now, services may start to improve here also.

And here was me thinking that wasn't your real name.

Yep but this item specifically said " does not post to selected address", it wasn't available in the UK. I've come across this several times, It was ironic because I had a small value item on another order (approx €1) which couldn't be fulfilled from UK and was posted to me from Germany.
Any idea when the Rathcoole warehouse is coming on stream? It'll be interesting to see what volumes of stock and what lines they carry there, at the moment it's virtually impossible to get a replacement battery shipped here from anywhere.
