I posted it on the 05Jan21 using the provided Label / Paperwork to Amazon Way, Dunfermline, Fife but no update yet on return status. I would have expected it to have arrived by now. Probably a huge amount of returns after the Xmas season.

Add to that getting VAT off orders under €22. If you buy just two €22 items per month, the VAT saving basically pays for the prime video service, so not so bad. Of course, the above only applies if you don't mind waiting a week or two. The other aspect, is that a lot of items I buy tend to be hard to get locally and if they have them tend to be far more expensive, so if I can wait, still worth getting them from Amazon. I will readily admit that I seriously miss the 2 day delivery that we were getting before Christmas. That was seriously cool. But when I stop and think about it, it is still worth it and I hope they sort the delivery issues soon. I'd also point out that one item I ordered last week came in just 2 days, so a sign things might be improving slightly.

I've found delivery from Germany to be efficient so far. I really wish they'd just roll Ireland in with the German site and offer us Prime membership there.
