Hi,

The above delivery service was launched on 1 October. Has anyone got a delivery from them yet?

An item I am waiting on shipped yesterday at 4pm and I’m told it will be delivered today by 9pm. However, I’m feeling a little cynical it will be delivered today.

Who's ordering with Amazon.De these days? I stopped using the UK website cos I couldn't get a lot of items.

I had use .de in the past to get some items that the .uk wouldn't have, or it was cheaper. The only downside is the shipping, as there's no away to avoid that (even with prime DE).

For the delivery, I had both Amazon and An Post delivering it.

I don't know if I'm just especially unlucky but most of the things I buy regularly no longer ship here. I have ordered 2 small items since Brexit kicked it - one on 1st of January and one on 6th of January, neither are due to arrive until next week. I'm in Dublin so deliveries before Christmas were 1-3 days.

The quick delivery was brilliant during previous lockdowns but Amazon are no use now if I'm stuck for something. I'm really surprised they didn't sort something better out for the Irish market.

Tiny package ordered, under €20..first Amazon order of 2021.
Ordered Jan 4
Dispatched Jan 6

Still says ETA Jan 15, would be curious to see what steps happen between now and then or if I'll have it by end of the week.

Out for Delivery Today. [Dublin, by Amazon]

So... 4th-11th, not great, not awful.

Have another item ordered..due the 25th. Perhaps it'll improve from here on out!

Correct.

Hopefully on the delivery times, I had thought it was due to customs checks but stuff isn't even being dispatched within 24 hours like pre 1/1/21

Custom is cleared in seconds if they right paperwork is submitted electronically which in case of Amazon it is.

The issue here is that the goods are not dispatched for days and (outside Dublin) AnPost is now taking days to deliver, no longer 48 hours express.

I have goods for 5 days in Dublin now crawling their way to Cork.

So, unless Amazon starts shipping again in reasonable times (and by now the backlog from the holidays surely must be gone) and AnPost gets back to normal shipping times (or at least reasonable) paying for Prime might not be worth it.

Some the price Amazon show is the total I will pay? No extra customs charges later?

And it seems the only issue now is delivery time, will that improve soon?

I've three orders placed on Amazon UK, one on 6th and two on 10th of January. The one on 6th was sold by Amazon EU S.a.r.L. and the other two orders are from the same third party seller.

All ordered with free delivery with Prime and all three showing delivery date of 25th January. Painfully slow!

Great thanks, so the stories of couriers showing up asking for money are for products ordered from other sites!

Amazon have a prepayment setup in place and do their own customs clearance. It is possible that you could be hit if not an Amazon item, but even if it is an Amazon item and somehow it did get caught at some point, Amazon would refund you whatever you paid.

With amazon (but not every website) the price you pay is all in. If there are extra duties you'll be charged that at the checkout (via the duties deposit amount), they break put the Irish VAT into that section too.

Order away with confidence.

Hi

I'm looking to buy a small kitchen appliance for just under £80, its UK made and Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.

What I am reading here on boards is very helpful but I just want to double check I won't be hit for any extra costs once the item arrives.

Am I right in saying the following?
That items valued <€150 won't be subject to any extra duties? The total I see at checkout is the total I pay full stop (no extra delivery/clearance charges)?

That at checkout Amazon are showing the item excluding UK vat and using a deposit system to add an estimate of the Irish vat? See below a copy and paste of what it says in my basket:

Order Summary
Items: £65.83
Postage & Packing: £6.00
Import Fees Deposit: £15.08
Total: £86.91
Promotion Applied: -£6.00
Order Total: £80.91

I'm just hearing stories of couriers asking for customs fees when delivering, or packages being held pending charges bing paid, and for my item above it seems to be the exact same price as it was before Brexit

Well in my area (North Tipp) the post person is still taking cash. I had a parcel delivered last week which needed customs duty to be paid. The post person would have accepted cash but as I didn't have it on me I had to collect the parcel & pay the duty at my local post office.

An Post said it has built a new online portal to enable customers to pay charges in a few clicks and the item will be delivered as normal. Alternatively, customers can pay charges at any post office. Charges will no longer be collected at the door by postal delivery staff, it added.

Thats really interesting, everything I've ordered has been pushed out twice at this stage, 3 seperate prime orders looking at over 10 days for delivery each (assuming they aren't pushed back again).

It doesn seem slightly out of Amazons control seeing all the dusruption going on with Brexit and shipping at the moment.

I must be just getting lucky with my orders a couple have missed the delivery day but always arrived the day after.
Now I have mostly picked items with Amazon delivery.
Outside of Amazon I have awful problems with Hermes in U.K. from another site I use , I ordered something start of December and went missing run up to Christmas the company replaced item and shipped again and same as last time Hermes have lost it agin.

Most things I want to buy don't deliver to my Wexford address. Is this a brexit thing to or am I just unlucky lately?

is it worth it signing up with Amazon prime for amazon.es or amazon.de?

A prime membership from Amazon.es or Amazon.de doesn't save you from the shipping fees

For both sites, the fees will range from 5€ up to 8€ for delivery, plus between 1.3€ to 2€ per kg

Ah the old days, previously the item I ordered yesterday would be dispatched by now and on its way.

Same here - and the only delivery option for several items I checked was "free standard delivery" - that's the one that takes days to even dispatch, even though they were prime eligible.

delly

Just a heads up for any Prime subscribers who feel hard done by, if you get on chat and quote items having two weeks delivery, you may get some prime subscriptions refunded. I got two months back last week when I gave out about an upcoming delivery due on the 21st.

Apologies if this was answered before - On Amazon Prime if an item is dispatched by Amazon does this mean it's coming from Rathcoole and not a UK delivery ?

No, they hold no stock in Rathcoole.

Thanks. I might hang onto it. I will have to decide tomorrow.

Still worth it for anything under 22 Euro that you can wait for. It's like ignoring a 20% discount.

Ultimately it comes down to where you can buy locally very quickly vs save money by shopping online and waiting.

Depends on what you buy often, pricing in my opinion isn't the issue as things are by and large the same price they used to be an Amazon charge yiu an all in price.

Biggest frustrations and concerns you need your think about are a) delayed deliveryvtimes which are hopefully temporary and b) stock availability now in a post brexit world which may not change.
