    There's a laptop I want to get from the Spain Amazon but it says I need a Spanish address to sign up for the prime there. Does anyone know if I can sign up for the UK one and purchase from the prime sale in Spain?

    Are those echo dots any use? Im going purely on impulse here

    They're great bar sound quality for songs. My kids love them, great for playing songs for them. Costs more but get much better sound from the Echo Plus. They have 3rd gen one for £49.99 which is very good value- link

    Hi, can someone explain Amazon Prime please, I'm new to Amazon, have ordered a few items, all fine albeit I hadn't figured on different dates of delivery.

    I was under the impression Prime wasn't applicable to Ireland (forgive me if I'm wrong).

    I understand its a kinda subscription service but guess its probably only useful for regular purchasing. I only intend getting specific items, maybe a few times a year. I'm also using virtual UK address with DPD to save on some outrageous delivery charges to Ireland.

    Thanks

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    use as a radio with no reception issues - voice on and off and select channel, volume
    use for music streaming service
    play podcasts
    timer set by voice - handy for food etc - time 5 minutes
    reminders
    if you're asking about them presume you don't have any smart home stuff like lights etc but can control that also

    the sound on the basic one is fine for small / medium sized room imo

    Thanks all for advice on the Fire Kids. Went to buy the Fire Kids 7 and says can't deliver to my address. Amazon are getting ridiculous with their shipping to Ireland.

    Deffo not.
    I needed an extra one no matter what so I was either paying the €55 on adverts or buying on prime. €33 delivered to PM through Revolut so either way I’m happy :)

    I have been itching to buy one to make my Samsung smart tv better. I think ill buy a couple now :)

    Anyone using Firestick. From what I;m reading it uses AC power but you can use USB power if you buy adaptor.

    These I assume ?.

    Mine is powered directly from my TV. Had been using the plug but I got a guy to put a TV bracket up recently and he tried direct power and it works. No adapter needed

    I remember that deal. I don’t think it was the 4K one for €25 and that was the reason I didn’t buy it at the time.

      The discount should apply after selecting the payment method. I had the same issue.

      The USB power adapter for the fire stick won't ship to Parcel Motel.

      I see some cheaper non brand ones - do they work just as well? They look like just regular USB leads?
