I have a daily conversation with Amazon CS on the subject and they haven't a clue or at least aren't saying. To quote from my last chat. My question was Why is Amazon Prime dispatch delayed for Irish customers and why are Amazon still promising 2 day delivery and then taking over a week? To quote from your website "Unlimited, fast Priority Delivery on millions of items to the Republic of Ireland". Clearly this is not happening.

But that doesn't hold when you can see deliveries from Amazon.de and Amazon.it etc taking just 2 days.

Seems like they can't run an accurate prediction engine yet with all the changes so are defaulting to mega-super-totally underpromise and overdeliver. A fair way to do it. Ordered just before midnight Thursday, 14th - Estimated arrival 24th! I suspect I'll see it Monday. AMZL. Can't really complain if true. Annnnnd, it was cheaper due to the vat discount (22GBP was dropped to 17 odd).

The Continental Op wrote: » I know but its not worth it for the movies or the books both of which I can get a better selection of by "downloading". The movies are a bonus but the main reason I and many others signed up to Prime was not having to wait a week for dispatch and the two day priority shipping to Ireland something that Amazon is still advertising on their site.
