So unless you love kindle and Jeremy Clarkson it's only worth it if you spend more than £79 a year on deliveries right?

Order has gone through. Checked the Your Prime section and it is still telling me that I need to sign up. So I'm not sure what's going on. I do have Prime Video, have had this for ages, €2.99 per month. I wonder if that has rolled over to regular prime now, and my next monthly payment will be higher?

Even though I'm shipping to an ROI address, the VAT is not being changed. So the item is £18.95 on the page and £18.95 in my cart, ready to click. Delivery on Tuesday. I was pretty sure all items shipping to ROI had VAT adjusted. Maybe it's a glitch.

They do it in the UK already and they do it big time in the US... "gig" drivers in vans and cars delivering items from distribution centres or designated drop points. It's similar to how the shïtty UK courier Hermes operate and Nightline do it here on a small scale if I'm not mistaken. Whatever about Amazon taking over the retail landscape, eating the bricks and mortars, etc... I think their moves into the delivery segment will be just as disruptive. The postal operators and couriers who are flying high on the back of Amazon's sheer volume at present could in time be blaming Amazon for driving them out of the market

You just need to purchase a cheap online course (I got an introductory microsoft office course for £4 with e-careers off a coupon website). Register with the online course, then sign up for an NUS extra card using PM address as home address, you can select how long your course is, I chose 3 years haha, you can take a quick snap with your phone for the photograph. Once your NUS card arrives you can go to the section on amazon for student prime without a .gov address and send them a photo of your NUS card and course acceptance email. They activated my prime 5 minutes later.

Go to order screen protectors for my phone and almost every single one wont ship to Ireland...same with cases etc. I can understand battery packs but a bloody screen protector??
