    Thankfully I neither want or need anymore of them, I'm all done for this year.

    I don't have a de account but the drives are available from them too.


    You can log on to all European amazons with same UK details.

    Bastards rang me at half 8 this morning to deliver a package that wasn't' due til tomorrow. Sneaky dispatch overnight.

    I was both happy and sad that my hungover sleep-in was interrupted!

    Ordered something almost a month ago from a seller on Amazon. And I'm still waiting. Not sure if it's an An Post delivery issue or not as they've been slow enough lately.

    Hi,
    With Brexit, moving to Amazon germany, so .de. Used the them before fine sometimes faster.


    Am thinking about buying prime for my .de account, never had prime before. Hoping I get 100% free shipping and the odd discount. Says 69/year so about 8 purchases and I will have 'saved' on the shipping costs.


    Anyone else use prime on .de? Any hidden issues things I should be aware of ? I know it's free for a montht to try, but just asking.

    Shipping via prime on DE is free in Germany. 8 euro I think to ireland. So that's something to factor in

    Amazon decided to send the latest parcels with UPS but UPS have suspended delivery to Ireland over the new variant so they are stuck in Germany and Poland for who knows how long :(

    Ordered a new hair clippers on Sunday night , not needed for Christmas or anything. It said delivery would be Tuesday morning which I had my doubts and wasn’t expecting it till after Christmas.
    8:45 this morning knock on door and sure enough delivery in less 48 hours on Christmas week .. couldn’t believe it.
    Are Amazon doing own deliveries? It wasn’t the post man or the usual delivery companies.
    I wouldn’t mind but I am still waiting on stuff I ordered 8 days ago ..

    There is no Prime delivery from .de or any other European Amazon sites to Ireland, only the UK site.

    Yep, the really fast stuff is Amazon Logistics. You must be in Dublin/Leinster.

    I know we are small, but really would have expected them to have something to 'help' Irish people, suppose they know full well we are addicted to shopping with them.

    I don't know if its mentioned anywhere else on the thread, but there is an app - Hagglezon - which price checks items across all the amazon's for the best price of an item.

    It doesn't list postage, but its a very handy. I've already treated myself to a leather handbag from amazon italy - with free postage.

    Ordered stuff and was delivered next day or thereabouts.
    Is most stuff being stocked in the Irish warehouse these days?

    Are Amazon delivery everything to Dublin themselves? If I ordered something small and they posted it with the customs declaration sticker on it, could An Post still look for €10 for processing the item?

    Just returned an item to Amazon, originally given a UPS Barcode, went out ti UPS Dublin base in Finglas, they would not accept it, went online and within 20 mins Amazon CS sorted and issued me with AN POST LABEL VIA email, printed it off and brought it to my local post office. The refund issued within 24 hrs,

    Are Amazon operating cargo flights into Dublin airport? Would have figured that they use ground shipping via trucks from the various warehouses in the UK.

    At least some of it is via air. Wouldn't be possible to do the journeys via road and the FCs are all named after a nearby airport for a reason.

    Their own planes only operate in the US so its DHL/Lufthansa etc doing the routes here.

    I had an Amazon Prime trial which expired at midnight.

    Placed an order for several items fulfilled by Amazon on 16/12. Delivery date was initially 23/12, then changed to 28/12. 'Priority Delivery', still not dispatched.

    Placed another order on 18/12, again fulfilled by Amazon. Delivery date pushed out to 4/1 and still not dispatched.

    I'm in Mayo so they won't be delivered by Amazon Logistics. I actually let my Prime subscription renew for a month to avoid delivery charges on the second order and because there are a few more things I need from them, but I'm seriously unimpressed by this.

    Printed off a return label here for an item this morning. They now have their Customs Labels to be printed out in addition to the regular return label.

    Another shout out to An Post.
    Ordered an item Tuesday night on Amazon.co.uk
    Delivered this morning.
    That is pretty impressive.
    I know there may be the odd delay, but overall I think An Post have done a fantastic job.

    Were you using prime or just the regular free delivery? Browsing their site there, and seems Prime only has free 2-day delivery for Benelux and Germany on the .de website.

    On Christmas Eve an Echo Dot arrived from Amazon that I ordered back on November 20th! Had given up on it so got a refund on it at least 2 weeks ago. Can beat a freebie!

    It was an Amazon Prime delivery and all.

    Just the regular free delivery which is why I was surprised by its quick arrival.

    Not sure if valid for this forum.

    Trying to buy a power bank from Amazon UK, but none seem to ship to Ireland. Normally you get a few that don’t ship, but this seems to be all of them.

    Is this something to do with Brexit or something linked with the shipping of a battery type item and hazardous etc?

    Really doubt you've ever found many powerbanks that will ship to Ireland as they mostly come by air and they are considered hazardous.

    If you are lucky you can find a supplier on Amazon that charges for delivery who ignores the regulations and will ship anyway or ships with someone that doesn't fly stuff over.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
