These threads are my annual "check on whether Prime is worth in Ireland" threads. Are there still no benefits outside of faster delivery to Parcel Motel? I take it we still don't get Prime Video or the Kindle library?

Prime Video works for me. Poor though. Most stuff required additional payments. The Grand Tour, Man in High Castle etc were free, but nothing much else worth watching.

20% off pampers, if that's your thing.

Must check out the kindle library, wife has a Kindle.

Would Amazon not be better off launching into Ireland with a Amazon locker system? Instead of a full scale job. Free delivery to the lockers.

They are discounted 20 quid already. Tempted to order at that price and get onto customer service if needs be.

I tried that with a different item just two days ago that dropped in price and they refused to price match. Maybe I was just unlucky with the agent I got

I'm looking for a decent router to bridge with a virgin hub3 if anyone spots one.

Looking for a compact USB powered 1TB external HDD if anyone spots one. Just for use as a video / music store for on the road.

Wow ! Tell them to arrange a return then, and you will order the cheaper one, might change their mind and if not just do that. They were always good about price matching for me in the past might be a new thing...

uck51js9zml2yt · 10-07-2017 06:34PM

Got the voice activated fire stick for £29.

gizmo81 · 10-07-2017 06:37PM

Amazon Echo half price

Eoin247 · 10-07-2017 06:43PM

Not really impressed with what I'm seeing so far. Pretty much the same "deals" amazon has on and off during the year for most items.

As postsnthing said tell them that you are returning it. There do seem to be some very poor agents lately, probably sick of dealing with people which i would imagine is inevitable.
I bought a game last week and found out yesterday that it will not be delivered for another 3 weeks as their stock was damaged 4 days ago. I got onto chat to question where my stuff was and they filled me with nonsense before i got a better agent yesterday. Although they still refused to accept the blame. Not that it really mattered, i just thought that was kind of funny.

For prime to work here properly, they need to be able to do next day delivery - which, presumably, they can't do in Ireland without a huge logistical cost.

They'd need to have proper distribution warehouses in Ireland for that to work

They get items to Antrim the next day. Quite impressive really.

SachaJ · 10-07-2017 07:16PM

20% off items in the warehouse.

Brings the open box Nvidia Shields down to £120.

Some nice offers on the DE site that I haven't seen on the UK site like the Logitech Harmonys, that new Nintendo console etc.

TallGlass · 10-07-2017 07:17PM

Like above, they can get the stuff to Antrim next day no problem. Maybe not even Amazon, but a service partner like Parcel Motel to get next day delivery to the Motel Box.

As for the offers today, :rolleyes:

SachaJ · 10-07-2017 07:36PM

I like the look of this Bosch Professional 18v SDS drill with 2 x 4Ah batteries. Sure it's not going to drill an 18mm bit into concrete but reckon it would do for 95% of my bigger jobs. Be interested to see the discount tomorrow @ 4.55pm. Only concern is if it would fit in a PM locker.

Seems they have stopped doing this

Will be returning and rebuying :rolleyes:

Linky to that shield ?

theteal · 10-07-2017 07:58PM

Good deal on the 55" Sony which makes it £150 cheaper than Richersounds

If I hadn't already set my mind on a Pana I'd be seriously tempted here

The 20% discount on warehouse deals is a nice sweetener.

Went to buy but it's back up to 174

JoeA3 · 10-07-2017 08:20PM

I could have sworn when I was browsing Amazon.de last week that the German site recognised that I am a Prime member. But today, on their "Prime Day" it seems I don't have prime membership in Germany, only on the .co.uk site?! Annoying, as I can see the selection of bargains is better (to me) on the german site.
Hmmmmm....

I think you can only have it on one region, but trial should work.

Amazon.es (Spain) does see me as a Prime member. Unfortunately their offers aren't great either though. I smell a conspiracy!

If I sign up to a trial, it costs and I have to remember to cancel again right?

10-07-2017 08:29PM

Cancel immediately and you still get the month's use.

When you go to sign up, there's a warning banner across the top that Prime benefits only apply in Germany & Austria.

How would I go about getting this? The tv does not ship to UK - Northern Ireland and AddressPal weight limit is 20kg and the description says the boxed weight is 25kg

I'm in the market for a tv like this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Battery Kinzie · 10-07-2017 08:56PM

Seems to be a decent Asus laptop on there, UX360. Anyone know much about it?
