    @JamesBond2010

    Have you any links to the phone your looking at?

    .de would come with EU plug instead of UK version.

    For .co.uk you won't be charged anything more than quoted on check out.
    ^^^ Vat & duties(if any) would be include in the Import Fee Deposit

    Check that item cost has been reduced (less UK Vat) and import duties calculated on that.

    ^^^ Yes that's just 23% Vat.

    €872.193 in GBP is 758.34

    Strange you have the breakdown in Euro but total in GBP (your preferred payment method?).

    Compare your phone across EU stores here https://www.hagglezon.com

    I thought I'd post this to see if anyone else has had this problem.

    I ordered and item that is in stock and Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L. I've Amazon Prime so get free delivery.

    I ordered it about 2 weeks ago and got the message "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." Also checked with a UK delivery address and that goes straight through with next day delivery.

    After a week I went on chat and asked what's the problem. Answer was its stuck in the system and that I need to cancel the order and reorder. Left it a day then ordered a second item then cancelled the first. I did it that way incase I got a sorry not available to you address msg for the second order. Same msg for the second order "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date."

    So a couple days later I get on to chat again and this time the problem is that they can't find a courier for it? The reps says he'll contact the fulfillment center to get it sent.

    And another few days and third reason is the best yet "this item is not available at the price shown during the validation of your order.". Yet the order still stands and the rep is supposedly going to raise a ticket with the fulfilment center.

    So Amazon are advertising an item sold by them as in stock, available to Ireland but they won't sell it to me at the price listed?

    Yes I know its a third world problem and I'm making a fuss about not a lot but at this stage I'm only chasing this because I want to see where it goes. I suspect at some stage Amazon will sell the last one to someone in the UK and then just say they are out of stock can't get anymore and cancel my order. I fully understand I can't force them to sell an item to me.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Is the item fulfilled by Amazon, ie being processed on behalf of a third party seller? I had the same issue, turned out the third party had sold it elsewhere. Amazon had no control of stock.

    I knew someone would mention that so I copied and pasted the words from the invoice in the OP "Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L"

    What is the item? Maybe on prohibited list for couriers? and amazon shouldn't be selling it to Ireland in the first place.

    Is the item also available on EU sites (you won't have prime so you lose out that way).

    Will check the EU sites now. It's nothing thats on any banned list.

    Edit> Amazon.de want €43,22 Postage & Packing for the item which is about the same price approx €150 on both sites.

    Does it say "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon EU Sarl" on the Amazon product page? If so, I believe the mistake thy made was letting you initially buy the product as I'm pretty sure many such items are only supposed to be allowed to be delivered to mainland UK.

    I had this. Ordered some weights at the start of lockdown. This was the only listing I could find that shipped to ireland and was on prime so happy days. Ordered.

    Item showed as being prepared for shipping but never went beyond that. no tracking or the usual. finally contacted support and was told there was something wrong with the order and they cancelled it ansd said to re-order. lo and behold it had updated to say didnt ship to ireland.

    I figure it was either too heavy or didn't really qualify for prime shipping to ireland and was mislabeled in the listing. Some randomer in the warehouse got a 'computer says no' when they went to fulfill it.

    Copy and pasted from the listing "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon" .Thats no doubt the problem but as I said they could have said that when I first contacted them. It's still available to Ireland and I've just ordered it again to check and cancelled.

    Thats why I didn't cancel the first order until I'd ordered it a second time as I thought that was going to happen to me.

    What about the money side of it - did Amazon debit your card? If so, the contract is in place and they are obliged to fulfil it. Threaten consumer affairs on them. You have a whole bundle of legal rights as a consumer under EU law.

    I just scanned them, life is too short to study all of them. They do allow for small claims courts which might be worth exploring, and even if they have conditions which attempt to set aside settled law, there are EU regulations on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts that an Irish Court will uphold.

    It’s well settled law that an enforceable contract is formed when the consideration passes. This applies whether the contract came into existence on the basis of offer and acceptance, or notice to treat and acceptance. In either scenario, the moment the consideration passes, the contract comes into existence. If Amazon try to vary that, there’s the unfairness that the OP would ask the small claims court to uphold.

    I had the same issue (see post #1251).

    Also ordered something, got confirmation email and CC deduction (pending). Nothing happened and upon subsequent checking with CS I was told that the item was out of stock (even though the item was listed as in stock at that time).

    I couldn't get CS to accept the concept that when an item is ordered and the confirmation email sent that that item should be set aside in the Fulfillment centre for that order and that the item should be dispatched eventually and the order should not be affected by the item subsequently going out of stock.

    Received a subsequent email explaining how inventory is dynamic etc... and I would be updated when it came back into stock. So I cancelled the order and ordered the item using an old Amazon account of mine. Order went through and delivery will be later today.

    Is anyone else noticing how little Amazon Warehouse stuff is now not available to Ireland?

    I would guess at least 25% of the Amazon Warehouse has no buying options if you have an Irish delivery address another way of saying not available to Ireland.

    I don't buy a lot from Amazon Warehouse but have found it handy in the past for some items that weren't available to Ireland as new items were available as returns.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Correct in a physical sense, but not online.

    It is very well understood that the contract for an online purchase is when the item is delivered.

    It is stated very clearly in the terms and conditions of all websites and if you decide not to read them, such excuse would be laughed out of a court.

    This sounds like very lopsided legislation that allows taking of funds without the provision of goods and services.

    I’d understand this if the law also stipulated that payment cannot be taken prior to the establishment of a contract.

    But they don't actually take the funds. They in effect put a hold on the funds in your bank account and release that hold if they can't deliver. You can't use the money in the meantime but it doesn't mean its in the sellers bank account.

    It's in the standard terms and conditions of almost all websites.
    If you disagree, buy elsewhere.

    The balance is that if you purchase online you have a legal right to return for full refund of most goods

    You don't have that in physical transactions.

    Which deprives the owner of those funds access to them.

    I understand the concept in a functional scenario where the goods are immediately put aside and prepared for dispatch but Amazon are clearly dysfunctional at the moment for Irish customers. Money is been held without any guarantees around provision of goods in exchange.

    I suppose as long as people are willing to put up with it, nothing will change in their behaviour.

    Wrong.
    In Amazon's case they have permission from you to take the funds but they do not have a hold on the money.

    If you do not have funds on your card when they are about to dispatch, the transaction is stopped and they will give you an opportunity to change card or try again.

    Depends with Amazon, if its a CC they debit when dispatched if is a Debit Card they normally take the money straight away. I use both to pay for Amazon stuff and can see thats how it works for me.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Ordered yesterday. Delivery date May 10th. Free delivery chosen.

    Dispatched this morning, arriving May 3rd.

    Doesn't suit so got onto chat and changed delivery date to May 7th earliest.

    Does anyone have any experience about whether the new date is respected?

    They don't go on the estimated dates at all. If you are around Dublin you might get the delivery on tomorrow (3rd). Even if you speak to them they can't slow it down.

    Is it being delivered by Anpost or Amazon courier? If it's AnPost you'll be able to change the delivery date if you get the text, not sure about Amazon couriers.

    I'm assuming it's whatever system/account the retailer has with An Post. The last few I've gotten have been from an ink place that says they send out over 1000 orders per day and a big candle place. Both are also listed here "https://www.anpost.com/Post-Parcels/Click-and-Post/Returns" so maybe an An Post "Retail Partner". I used to get them for Amazon deliveries before AZ Logs started.

    They just say "Item CE1234567890IE is due for delivery in up to 2 working days. Alternative delivery options here *Link with a passnumber on it* and that brings you through to the options like change the day, different address, anpost lockers etc. On the last one I went into it when the tracking was showing out for delivery and it showed a not quite Amazon level real-time tracking but maybe every 15 minutes updating the anpost vans location.

    Seems to me that they’re not going to setup Amazon shopping services tailored for the Irish market. My guess is they’ve seen sales rise significantly due to the lockdown which is driving them to assume they can just continue as-is.

    Once bricks and mortar retail reopens, I think I’ll be using Amazon a lot less, as the hassle with delivery charges from .de or .fr or and customs and availability issues from .co.uk aren’t acceptable really.

    Is delivery not free when you spend £25 or on everything with Prime or is that only when fulfilled by Amazon and the above is for third party sellers stuff?
