Well spotted. Not a great price on 4k stick but seems like they are delivering to Ireland.

Will Amazon Prime video work on the Firestick without VPN or the need to set your Amazon account as UK billed/addressed?

You will need a VPN ,I use Getflix DNS and find it great ,no problem watching Prime or any of the players (BBC, ITV).

No you don't need a VPN is you're happy with the general Irish Prime content.
VPN only required for geo block
You can also use it for other apps eg Netflix, Disney etc

Argos are selling off loads of alexa devices today too, didnt see the 4k firestick but echo/echo dot etc all reduced.

Won't you get UK VAT taxed? Woidl end up being more expensive than buying directly from Ireland.

UK vat gets deducted and irish added price generally still works out the same

I ordered 3 last week using address pal. I was told to pay about €25 in charges. Still waiting on them to be delivered.

Thats getting them delivered to the UK from amazon so irish and UK vat applies , if you order ones that can be sent direct here UK vat is removed and irish is added leaving the price nearly the same

You will have to pay vat and import fees on these.

People forget ordering anything over 22 value from the UK is a complete faff now a days

Their policy on shipping the Fire Stick to Ireland has only changed in the last week. I thought something might be up as Curry's Ireland have stopped selling it.
As a side note I would expect an official RTE player app to be available soon as there is a TG4 app available.

It works out 50p more expensive than the uk price on the fire cube , the import fees on amazon are seriously low , as in your really just paying irish vat

I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need to upgrade my firestick lite I was able to order for delivery to Ireland last week (not due for a few weeks though). I have a 4k in another room and basically only want it as a stopgap until I can upgrade the TV. I already have an Alexa Show in the room so don't need the cube.... But I want it

I got a 12p refund from them the other day due to them overcharging me on Irish VAT/Duties.

So why do you think ordering anything above 22 is a no-no?

I've ordered a good bit recently from Amazon ,I keep the order under €120 a time and have not paid any more than what Amazon have changed me , no UK vat just Irish and works out much the same.

But the UK VAT was deducted.

Amazon have always applied Irish VAT as they do more than €70K worth of sales

If you use addresspal you get caught for UK vat (as Amazon delivered the items to a UK address) as well as import charges from UK to Ireland. Plus the addresspal charges too.

Lets stop the VAT and duty chat. There's a massive thread on online buying forum with all these questions. Firestick chat is available on the android forum.
From here on, chat is only related to the price, availability and bargains. Warnings for anyone who starts up about import fees etc

Anyone see that you can now trade in old devices like First Sticks etc and get and get the latest one plus money off.
