    I don't know. I suspect they just try a range of numbers from phone books or such like and do a robocall, hoping someone will bite.

    wife is set up on amazon with uk address, not prime customer. Im set up on irish address, prime customer. Wife was looking for health supplements online....she can get the same tablets for asking price thats £5.00 less than i can see it om amazon..this has nothing to do with post or exchange rates...just wondering why or how they justify that?

    I noticed hings are gone a bit haywire trying to buy some stuff from UK lately, a fairly big shop that I often buy stuff from previously charged about £6-£8 for delivery of a handy enough package. I was going to buy an item about the size of an apple the other day and postage was £15.99 for some reason.

    I and I suspect a lot of others are going to miss Parcel Wizard but not as much as the UK is going to miss our custom. Someone will fill the gap and we'll get along fine without supporting UK jobs.

    The brits are nearly stupid and arrogant enough not to agree to one, it'll be their loss if they don't though and that's a banker.

    Supply and demand

    It's that way with a lot of stuff online

    heres the link

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001FFH4E4/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_fabc_DLmZFb6K0KHJ3

    When shes logged in on phone, its 10.99 and seems to sold by amazon...when she emails the link to me, i open it up on my laptop which is logged into my account and its 15.44 and not through amazon. im relatively new at using amazon and just seems odd that the same link could throw up a different result...think ill be doing abit more maths in future when ordering

    I assume the issue there is that Amazon don't ship many pharmacy related items to Ireland, whereas some third party sellers seemingly do.

    It's the address. She's likely not logged into her account on her phone or has a UK address selected.


    If I use my PM address, it's the cheaper price. Irish address, much higher price.

    Certain supplements and medical goods are zero vat in the UK, but full vat here. I had packs of facemasks go up by a fiver when delivered to the ROI address.

    Surprised to see my monitor has now shipped today.... So that's nearly everthing I'm waiting on, bar a few small items...

    Is there going to be an amazon withdrawal thread available in January when brexit goes t1ts up..... My first order was back near 2008 I think, and I'm afraid to add up how much I spent since then...

    P. S. I know there will be other amazon options (I have used them a few times) , but is it going to come with free delivery, and the same extensive choice as today?

    I just checked my first order and it's a little further back, I equally wouldn't like to know how much I've spent over the years.

    If you go into other sellers the 10.99 option is there but with delivery costs of 12.50 so the £15 plus £6 delivery is the cheaper combined price, none of the options are sold directly or fulfilled by Amazon and i'm presuming the delivery prices are based on location

    That's from a different seller. You can get it direct from Amazon also at £10.99 with free Prime delivery if you have a UK address. That seller is just price matching Amazon's own price.

    she can get it delivered for 10.99 and then delivered for free to her addresspal, she can then spend €4.00 for the addresspal delivery...basically showed me that there could be better ways to buy from amazon than assume u working out better through prime with its "free delivery"...

    I have several amazon accounts for this very reason


    Would you like a free trial ?
    Ah go on then

    Just be careful not to use gift card straightaway

    They tend to lock the account

    The issue isn’t the free postage, the issue is the price is dearer for the ROI, I have prime and it’s showing up for the dearer price for me when my home address is selected where as when I select one of my virtual address, it’s the cheaper price.

    It's not dearer for the ROI from the same seller though. Some sellers don't ship internationally, and Amazon themselves also do not ship some items internationally. The price of the item is the same from every seller to every destination (except for VAT difference) as long as they ship that item to that destination.

    I had this issue a while back with a tablet. Turned out it was different VAT rates between the UK and ROI. Could be the same with that product.

    It's not, I've explained why there is a difference several times now. ;)

    Look in Your Orders and on the top right of each one, you will see links for Invoice.

    In some cases, this will bring up links for Invoice, Invoice1, and /or request invoice from seller.

    Great result. I missed out on that deal ! How do you end up with 7 instead of 12, like clearly they would have known!
