    Trying to buy that firestick. Its shows as £29.99 in lightening deal but price changces to £49.99 when I switch address :(
    Am i doing somethign wrong
    .

    scratch that the £20 discount shows when I make payment

    when you get to the payment section, it changes to the £29.99 price, you get a discount for £20.00

    Yes. Parcel motel or address pal.

    I find DPD's Parcel Wizard better as they deliver to your door for the same price rather than having to go somewhere to pick it up.

    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.

    By and large they are grand, in the sitting room and herself father using the non 4K for "tv"

    The biggest difference I seen was the wifi speeds, but then if you need a VPN to watch "tv" then that's going to take a big hit anyways

    Got a 4K myself for future proof, but never use it for 4K (when the tv dies ill go 4K)

    Why do you need to log in right now? If you need to find your Parcel Wizard address, it's in your emails from previous orders. If you need to top up, you can do it after you make an order.

    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?

    You don't need an adaptor.

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

    i thought the same , then i got one. Very handy in the kitchen for timers for cooking and generally listening to music and radio...just tell it you want to listen to Spin1038 and it does. Simple

    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?

    Anyone know about this?

    The firesticks that won't ship to Ireland will have issues with viewing amazon prime video in Ireland btw

    Can be got around by getting on to amazon usually but it can be a hassle

    I thought the adapter was needed if you want to power it from your TVs USB port rather than plug + socket?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭torrevieja


    can u use two firesticks at one time

    I'm not using any adapter and it works just fine

    They can be extremely hit and miss, and if Amazon push an update out, they will go into a bootloop until they're connected to a proper power adapter.

    You can use two(or more) firesticks on with same Amazon account yes.

    However deal is limited to 1 per account to buy.

    Best Before isn't the same as use by - I've eaten chocolate with BB date of more than a year and other than a little white on the surface, the chocolate is perfect.

    Edit : Oops - I see a few comments already saying the same .

    Yes but for a stocking filler or something to bring as a gift to a house over Christmas you dont want to bring something that looks like its out of date...last years left overs being regifted :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2


    Got a 50 inch Sharp 4K UHD HDR Smart TV for 340 euro and also a tablet for the missus for Christmas. All in all, a good day one. Now to see what kind of M2 SSD I can find that won't fry my laptop lol

    Yes, gutted at the price drop, I bought mine two days before prime day was announced. Just check if it will fit your space. I needed to get a corner kit and it's sold out in Europe and it was a nightmare. Very decent camera though. I needed to buy the chime too as it won't run off my existing bell.

    Feck, its back up to €99now and that's something I've been looking to get for ages (albeit not at a €99 price tag)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,375 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Used my old Parcel Motel account to get the tablet, only used it once, saw the history that for my last delivery I topped up the account €3.95 and all okay. Now it won't seem to allow me top up with any amount under 11 euro. Any ideas what's going on?
