Amazon Prime Day 2021 - Monday 21st & Tuesday 22nd June

dan786

Hi, I believe there should be a dedicated thread for Prime day deals over the two days as the other Amazon thread is for daily deals etc. If MODS don't agree feel free to remove.

Prime Day this year is over two days Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd. Deals change through out the day. Although mostly rubbish items, there are some bargains that can be had. You must be a Prime member to get these deals

Prime is £7.99 per month and can be cancelled after the first month.
Also you may be eligible for 1 Month free trial - again this can be cancelled within the 1st month and there will be no charge. You will still get the deals.

Available now:

Ring Doorbell Wired £35 Link

Ring Doorbell with Chime - £45 Link

Here are some of the deals available now , these have to be ordered through Alexa for this price now - will be available without that from Monday.

Echo dot 4th gen £24.99 (black/white/blue)
Echo dot 4th gen clock £34.99 (white/blue)
Echo dot 3rd gen £19.99 (charcoal/grey/sandstone/plum)
Echo 4th gen £54.99 (charcoal/white/blue)
Fire HD 8 Tablet £39.99
Echo Show 5 1st gen (black/white) £39.99
Echo Show 8 1st gen (black/white) £59.99
Echo Show 8 2nd gen 2021 (black/white) - £84.99
Fire TV Cube £59.99 (Does not deliver to Ireland)
Kindle Paperwhite £79.99

The Firestick 4K will be £26.99 from Monday. Edit: No longer ships to Ireland

Also as usual there should be a 20% discount on warehouse items.

PLEASE NOTE PRICES ARE ONES WITH UK VAT AND WILL SLIGHTLY DIFFER WITH IRISH VAT.

sheep shagger put you up this i bet, just to make the new job easier.

What would be very handy if people went all the way to adding an item to their basket and quoting that price. Sometimes it changes.

Yes they slightly change with Irish vat, once the deals go live for everyone we can put in deals with Irish prices. As the deals are only available through Alexa for now, bit hard to do that but as mentioned should be available for everyone Monday at 00:01.

Ring Doorbell with Chime - £45 Link

Worth pointing out that if you have one or more Alexas that you might not need the chime as you can get the Ring doorbell to make announcements instead on all the Alexa devices in your house.

iPlayer won't work without a VPN but plenty of options for VPN's that will work on the Cube without any hassle

It will be 20% or 30%. Its was 20% last few years on both prime day and for black Friday but they increased it to 30% for the last black Friday

Anyone else having issue with getting Fire Stick and Cube being delivered to their address here? I ordered before but now says cant be delivered to selected address. Have tried 2 addresses in Dublin both same issue.

They can no longer be delivered to Ireland. There was a glitch where you could order them. I got half price firecube in March but glitch is repaired and won't be delivered to Ireland

Currys also sell them. Hoping they'll do something on the price and I'll pick up a few

bromley52

I have a feeling Amazon have an agreement with Curry's Ireland to be the sole official seller of the 4K fire stick. It disappeared off the Curry's website for a couple of months after Christmas and that is when Amazon started shipping it here. Maybe it's a coincidence but when Curry's are now selling it again Amazon stop shipping it. The cube could be the same but I wasn't watching that.
I would expect Curry's Ireland to ever reduce the price especially now that PM and PW are out of the equation.

For Prime renewal, should I use .com or .co.uk?

Or one of the EU sites?
Thinking customs etc. Have my eye on a pair of headphones and a good DAC

The UK site is the only one that Irish can get proper prime benefits, like free delivery, from

Same for me. It's just happening with the Prime Day bargains. With everything else they are deducting the UK VAT before adding the Import Fees so the all in price is quite similar. Hope they fix this before Monday

How do you buy something through Alexa?

I need a new kindle as my current one is almost 10 years old and while it still works fine the battery isnt great anymore. Thinking of going for a paperwhite. I have had the basic kindle. I assume the paperwhite price via Alexa will be the cheapest and it wont reduce further on Prime Day?

It's just a case of asking Alexa to show you your bargains, and it lists off the current bargains. Then just say add to basket and it goes into the basket. Then you can finish the purchase in the amazon store as usual. If you have the show it will display the item picture,
If you don't have an echo you can use the Alexa mobile app on your phone.

Yes, for example the Ring Doorbell is actually 44.34, not 35 shipped to Ireland.
Thats a big difference.

It looks exactly correct to me. Where did they make the mistake?

Isn't VAT charged on the discount amount too? Its the value of the goods and not necessarily what you pay. Isn't it the same as them showing 6 euro postage and then giving you the 6 euro as a discount. You end up paying vat on the 6 euro postage that you didn't pay

It would be a different case if it was just on offer and they didn't show any discount

Have seen same with another item in prime sale. Import fees and tax charged on original price and not the discount price. However for other items with a discount the import fees and tax are calculated on the discount price and not the original list price. Not sure why it's different.

As far as I know duty should be charged on the discount if discount is shown separately. If it's just reduced without showing the discount then vat not payable on the discount

Checked a few more items it seems any of the prime exclusive deals are calculated on the original price so you are correct.

dulpit

So am I correct in understanding as follows:
1) if product was £100 but now shows at £70, then vat is charged on the £70 (take UK off, then add irish, so would be about £71.75 or so.
2) if product was £100 and has a prime discount applied of £30 go bring it to £70, then vat is charged at the 100, then has the 30 discount applied? (so would be about 77.50ish?)

So prime day won't be as bountiful for us, unless it's items that are less than the €22 mark?

Yes as duty is paid on the value of the goods. In 1 the value is 70 and in 2 it's 100 but the retailer is giving you a discount.

That's a mad way of calculating a tax.

(I'm not saying you're wrong btw)

If I was chatting with a seller, and bought a large item worth 200 quid. However, they "value" the product at 20 quid, and I sent them an extra 180 quid as a thank you for being so sound, I'd pay VAT on 20 quid? Which is "the value" of the item?

No VAT is charged as a % if what you pay.

Only slightly better though. I wonder if we would be better off waiting until a certain product goes on sale generally rather than just for Prime Customer Offers as that seems to be better for the VAT Treatment.

It used to be all items but have been select items past couple of years but there is a large range that is available across all categories.

Prime Day starts at 23:00 tonight on the EU sites - some items may be cheaper from them than UK as no import tax.

Amazon Germany, Spain, Italy and France.
