Went with German site. The non-Prime Day price there was €79 and only €7 postage.

Spoke with Amazon UK customer service and responce was:

Feel sorry for the CS staff. Must have got an earful today.

Just so you know Samsung are doing a cash back on these of 45 euro and Amazon Uk is listed as one of the retailers so might have been a better deal with Amazon UK after cash back. I got them last week and got cashback approved after 2 days.

Wow, thanks for that. €45 regardless of what you paid for them? Brings them down to about £55/60

Yes does not matter what you paid for them. As long as its sold directly by Amazon UK.

The thing is that once you hit the 'buy now' button you are agreeing to pay that price for the goods. No matter what individual managers/ reps have told people, amazon will not be under any legal obligation to refund the difference.

The calculated import duty is clearly incorrect. That is money being collected as VAT for the Irish government. Regardless if customer clicks buy or not. They cannot incorrectly charge more VAT than they are allowed.

It might be a grey area when it comes to legality side of things, but no doubt Amazon will not want to hurt their brand with collecting more VAT then they should.

I hope you pointed out to him that we're actually ten times bigger than Manchester (and even over twice as large as the greater area).

A glitch on Amazon that leads to shipping addresses to Manchester not being accepted would certainly be a big deal for Amazon UK and attempts to rectify it would be made ASAP, so this problem for a population that is ten times larger should certainly be raising heads too.

a) pointing that pedantic point out would have been a good career move (not)
b) there isn’t a glitch with addresses not being accepted. The glitch is with vat rates - which wouldn’t apply to Manchester or anywhere in the UK. Not the same issue

It wouldn't be pedantic. The population of the UK is roughly 10 times that of Ireland, and the population of Ireland is roughly 10 times that of Manchester. Should have asked him if he would react differently if 10 cities the size of Manchester had this issue rather than 1.

You missed my point.

That's a great deal with those headphones if only Amazon would charge us correctly. I would like to clarify something though. Samsung say that a 2nd qualify purchase gets an extra €55 cashback.

So if you purchase two qualifying items (say both are €45 cashback), are you getting:

a) 2 amounts of €45 with an extra €55?

b) a single €45 cashback with an extra €55?

Two cashbacks + bonus of 55. Please note you cannot buy same item twice. It has to be two different items.

A 10pound discount appears at checkout.

THEFRIDGE · 22-06-2021 12:15AM

We are aware of an issue where the customer may not have received the full value of the Prime Day Deal on an item at checkout, if a non-UK delivery address was selected.
I am sorry about this

let them know we are actively working to resolve this, and will contact any impacted customers as soon as possible. Please do not issue a concession; instead advise the customer we will e-mail any impacted customers within 5 days with an update and resolution.
We are waiting for the resolution from internal team
My apologies about this
we are working on it

I wouldn't bother if I was you ...

Amazon will probably charge you VAT on its value, not once but twice, just for good measure, and then reduce it discount value after that, meaning they actually add 5 euro to your purchase, just for trying to use if in the first place......

Does this apply to a purchase from Amazon warehouse?

Yeah definitely not fixed, prime day deals still not. Probably be fixed 2 mins before midnight.

leck · 22-06-2021 01:47AM

When they say "import fees" -- is that really Irish VAT charge?

leck · 22-06-2021 01:56AM

Yeah, still broken...

Placed an order for this:
Blink Outdoor | Wireless, weather-resistant HD security camera with two-year battery life, motion detection | 2-Camera System

Order Total:
Subtotal: £149.99
Total Promotions Applied: £-50.00
VAT: £0.00
Import Fee Deposit: £35.97

Why does it say VAT 0, is that referring to UK VAT?
