    Do you have a recommendation for one?

    ExpressVPN and Ivacy not working for me lately.

    Sorry for the OT

    SmartDNSProxy. https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/
    7 day trial (they'll mercilessly bombard you with offers at end of trial, stick it out and it may go to 70% off :)
    Included is a vpn if you want (I don't bother but it's handy if required)
    My tip - use the Swedish and Dutch DNS servers for streaming.
    I've had it for a good few years, no complaints.
    I think they and Getflix are the same company, different branches

    For those asking and anybody ordering with delivery dates in January this might be helpful to know.

    Good price for a 3.2 (Gen 2) USB-C SSD (Latest standard). 1TB is roughly double the price but still decent. Pity it’s only the red colour.

    The giant Toblerone they sell is troubling on 2 counts.

    The first is that despite being reduced by 24% its still way over priced at €63.18

    Secondly, its available used...

    Dealz do a range of Toblerone knock-offs in a range of different flavours that are very nice!

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

    It's not somethung that can change it's a fixed number so no need to wait and see what it is. If the UK leaves the free market then stuff from the UK will be taxed the same as stuff from everywhere else outside the free market. 23% on most things afaik. Plus a €10-20 charge on delivery for the delivery company handling customs if it wasn't paid at the time of purchase.

    The exemption on items costing under €22 is also being removed in 2021.

    It's not at all overpriced. The cheapest you can ever find chocolate is around €10 per kg, brands like Cadbury and Galaxy can go as high as €20 per kg. This is £12.5 per kg.

    But won’t everything on Amazon then fall by the standard UK VAT rate as its then considered an export outside of the EU?

    I assume you mean outside the UK. And I believe that is up to the UK, but potentially yes.

    Jaysus.... taking away the exemption under €21 is a bit mean. Can’t be that much money lost to the government if it left

    I'm assuming (hoping) that if everything goes arseways, there'll be an option on .co.uk that you can filter the products to those sold by Amazon EU Sarl?

    Thinking of getting this Ring Video Doorbell £69/€77 as a present for someone. Had a look at Irish websites like DID and haven't seen it cheaper.

    Just buy from Amazon .de .it .fr and .it and pay in Euro, forget about the UK store. It's the same thing. The Amazon app even gives you the option of English language listings

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I presume that anything ordered (bought and paid for) before January 1st will not attract any of the new customs or Vat charges. Possibly shipping charges will be higher but the item price should not change.


    I would also expect an announcement soon enough that Amazon.ie is going to be a thing.

    Wouldn't have thought so, think there's only 14 country specific domains globally so little old Ireland would be very unlikely to get one

    Yeah there's a few things you need to look out for. German and French laptops won't come with QWERTY keyboards and will need to investigate the plugs as most stuff will be European socket and may not ship with UK adapters

    It's a balls alright. I love shopping online so a no deal Brexit is going to be painful seeing as most items I buy online come from the UK.

    On the plus side Boards is going to be a great resource as we adjust to buying from other places.

    Some of the Alexa devices are cheaper on the German site, just looking there now. I assume you need to register with separate email etc

    That's a great price for the bell + chime. I paid €119 for both in September

    Just change to the .de store with you current login. If you have prime on the UK store it will not carry over

    Do Amazon still change prices depending on user and location?
