    just buy from Amazon as that's what shopireland use. Don't really see the point of it myself, all it is as far as I can see is an unnecessary middleman charging 21% vat compared to Amazon which charges 17%.

    Here's an example, I arbitrarily selected a usb key from electronics, which they will order from amazon. Now here's the kicker, order the same item through Amazon and after shipping costs etc, when you convert to euro at todays exchange rate the price is 34 euro compared to shopirelands which is 37.29, a difference of 3.29. That is just one example, I was looking at cameras the week before last and came across the same thing, much bigger price difference though, think it was over 70 euro more expensive on shopireland, which really begs the question why? And what service are they providing?, apart from ripping you off all they seem to do is list and order products from another website, so best thing to do is avoid them as far as I can see.
    Unless I am totally missing something here, in which case I'd be happy if someone explained why this site is worthwhile ordering through?
