Amazon: Contigo Byron 470ml Travel Mug - €13.56

dowtchaboy

Contigo Travel mugs are excellent but a bit pricey for me so I was pleased when I spotted this on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TRDWHXG/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Contigo Byron Snapseal 470ml Travel Mug - €13.56
Free postage over £20 etc. Dispatched & sold by Amazon.

BUT - it's only one size (470ml) and one colour ("Vivacious" - reddish) at this price. AND it's out of stock until Feb 15th.

Most of the ones in this size are about €24, except black about €20. Strangely every colour is a slightly different price.

It could be a misprice. However my order placed on Monday has been acknowledged at £8.33, plus about £2 added in the "import fees deposit". I've been given a delivery date of Feb 18th.

My previous Contigo, with some corporate logo on it, brand-new in a presentation box, cost me €1 in a charity shop 3 years ago! Now THAT was a bargain!

I have one of these for years and recommend it. I used it for hot tea in the winter and water and ice for a refreshing cold drink in the summer when hiking. The ice takes many hours to melt. Can’t wait to be back using it.

Got mine for €11.30!
Thanks weakening sterling!

These are sometimes less than £10 (many colours were ~£7 in November for example and therefore even less for us) so if you're in no rush (and I assume most of us aren't) then it might be better to instead set up a price alert using e.g. Keepa.

Yeah I ordered 2 as well - it really was the first mug I ever had that kept things hot for ages (apart from glass Thermos flasks, and I got fed up with those "oh ****" moments when I'd drop it and have a load of wet broken glass to clean up.)

One nice thing that I liked about this Byron Snapseal compared to my old one is the top unit seems a lot easier to clean. My old one (Contigo West Loop) did not disassemble or fold out and the deep inside bits would end up some very dodgy coffee/tea milky scum that was hard to reach even with a toothbrush.

If I had a Euro for every time this applied to posts in this Bargain Alert subforum.....I could spend it on two yokes I didn't really need.

Thanks OP. On an Prime trial at the moment, and it also deducted £5 Prime Savings. (I think I did apply for a recent BA £5 off £25 but that shouldn't have worked as the total was £10). Dunno. Either way total cost £5 delivered

Edit - nor do I know why the cost before discount was £10 rather than £12, as it was definitely showing as £12 when I added it to the basket. Irish Vat lower or something?

Amazon UK remove the UK VAT on all purchases going to Ireland.
If the pruchase is less than €22 (which is Revenue's VAT free limit), Amazon don't charge any Irish VAT. If it's over €22, they do.

Revenue are closing that loophole later this year (God forbid we buy something for €20 and not pay VAT on it!), so fill yer boots while you can.

Lower limit for VAT is €22, not €25.00

Cheers.

Got confused between the VAT limit and Amazon's free delivery amount.

No. The scum that may build up over time from milky coffee or tea.

Got 2 emails since ordering yesterday revising the estimated delivery date from the original date of March 16th to 22nd February and now to the 4th February

Excellent stuff, have one for years, re dishwasher tablet, I bought cheap denture tablets and use them instead, pop one in and add boiling water and like new the following morning.
Pro tip, add boiling water a few minutes before use so it uses the heat to pre heat and then your coffee/ tea will stay hotter longer...

Mine dispatched today, saying delivery on 07 February which makes me think it's coming from Europe rather than the UK. A different order dispatched today, placed Wednesday. Saying delivery Tuesday but it cleared customs in Dublin at lunchtime so I'm expecting it tomorrow.

Great - I thought I would end up being the last, with everybody else being Prime and 'cos I have 2 and a couple of other yokes. However, they have just emailed me saying it left yesterday and will be delivered by An Post on Sunday (!).

By the way - were you one of the Prime maybe-no-VAT guys? And was there any VAT charged?
