    Which ones did you get?

    I have 4 in my basket for 30 STG



    TECKIN Smart Plug 13A WiFi Smart Socket Works with Alexa Echo Google Home, Timing Function Remote Control No Hub Required 4 Pack

    Probably don't need 4 but no doubt they'll be handy for hard to get at sockets

    I got the 3 pack for €24. Set one up so far. Seemed fairly straight forward. I have 8 Sonoff ones already, but I'm finding them too big for plug extensors!

    Yeah I got 2 for 20gbp too. A couple of glitches setting up, but working fine now(I don't like that I need to set up in another app before sharing with Alexa/Google).!

    Purchased 3 smart plugs last night at 11:30pm and they arrived just there!
    Fulfilled from the Irish warehouse maybe?

    Their delivery times are odd. I ordered a ring doorbell during the week which said it would be delivered Dec 1st and got here yesterday. I also ordered a playpen which said it would be delivered yesterday and hasn't even left the UK.

    Anyone any idea what's goin on with the Firestick it's showing as currently unavailable for me & my girlfriend but I'm in a group with a few people from UK & it's showing as in stock for them, they sent me screenshots saying in stock and they've been able to buy them, I use amazon a good bit & have never seen this happen

    It’s not available to Irish residents so you need to use U.K. amazon and U.K. address like parcel wizard etc

    Thanks for that, is it the same for all Black friday deals? Strange they're doin it with the stick, got one at full price no length ago

    No, only certain items that they won't ship here.

    Does the account need to be originally setup with a UK address? I've got address pal from AnPost added but still showing as unavailable, tried a vpn too, same thing.

    You should get bbc iplayer etc working in it now because of the U.K. address and if you don’t get them to switch it over in chat

    Chat got my Amazon Prime sorted as it wasn't working at all but BBC iPlayer works with VPN only.

    Seems to Be changing for some areas. I get some stuff sent to an address in Kilcock, Kildare and it’s pretty much next day. If I get it sent to Newbridge, it’s closer to a week. A few things different, tracking # starts With GA, I can track courier on a map and get call from courier to say will be there in a few mins

    I don’t think the iPlayer is linked to your Amazon account, a VPN will still be needed for that to work.

    I asked a question regarding international Amazon's on here the other day but wanted to followup as I know people here have more knowledge in the matter.

    If ordering an electrical item from Italy, Spain or Germany is there anything else that I should know about other than the plug probably being different?

    Can't believe the price difference on some items, want to know if I should be aware of anything else before pulling the trigger :)

    Depends on the item, but you could get really unlucky with an item not having English language software .... really bad luck to have happen, but possibility

    Smart dns is the best option for iplayer as it’s not detected by them so easily

    Do you have a recommendation for one?

    ExpressVPN and Ivacy not working for me lately.

    Sorry for the OT

    The 30% off Amazon warehouse are real deals worth looking at in my opinion.

    Getflix is great for DNS needs. There might be a lifetime offer for Black Friday.

    Sorry a bit off topic, but pre ordered some weights due for delivery in january, if there is a brexit deal as the bookies are still suggesting there will be. Does that mean we won't pay customs from stuff from the uk? And if there is no deal we will?

    No one knows but it's more likely the levels of duty applicable in each scenario

    Ah balls, so duty either way is likely? Probably best to wait for further info then and cancel if duty is too high, thanks

    Sorry I know I'm being stupid (and I apologise for the off topic question) but will there definitely be duty even if there's no deal? The reason I as is at the moment you pay irish vat on purchases and, if memory serves, the invoices/receipts say the seller is actually Amazon Sarl which is a Luxembourg company. Have Amazon actually said anything?
