Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

I noticed the price of several WD HDD's in my basket shot up in price, some by good 60-70 pound. then realized Prime Day was coming up just normal price increases for 2 weeks before the big "Sale"

Agreed. I've seen prices change twice in the same day for the same item. Seems to be a continual fluctuation.

I'm assuming the 199 is sterling so you need to take it to the checkout to see the Euro price which will include all custom charges as the item is over 150 Euro.

the 199 already includes uk so changing that to irish vat will add about £6. no customs duty on laptops. converting it to euros makes it about €246.

there is something odd about that listing then. when you go to checkout it doesn't remove the UK vat before adding the irish vat. If you checkout a different laptop for the same price it calculates the vat properly and the total is €243

I've spent ages trying to sort out similar VAT issues with Amazon. Amazon themselves are fine when sold by and dispatches from Amazon. The problem comes when its sold by a third party but dispatched from Amazon, multiple Amazon CS reps have told me they have no control over how the VAT is handled. For smaller value items I've managed to claim the excess VAT back from the seller but I'm not sure I'd risk it for a more expensive item.

Useful tips, thank you.

When you say "in the warehouse as you can just search the products that are included in the sale", is that an additional search filter you can include during the dates of the sale?

came across this on Reddit

it list deals on amazon warehouse filtered by Region, being warehouse deals can be gone before it updates again

This site will cost me a fortune over time 😂

Just bought a Moon lamp and a beanie hat with headphones!!

Thanks👍️

I've had parts missing from Amazon warehouse stuff too often to list. Its normally only accessories to the main item that didn't bother me anyway but I always get on to chat and end up with an extra discount normally get 20% extra but sometimes its been a lot more although the CS reps have told me the max they can give is 20%.

I suspect some people buy stuff from Amazon just to fix their own stuff. So I've had PSU's missing and wonder did someone buy that item just to take the PSU out of the box and then return the rest of the item to Amazon? Its a long time ago now but I bought a fancy set of specialist spanners from Amazon warehouse and when I opened them up they were all there only someone had replaced all the Bahco spanners with Rolson ones. Full refund and Amazon said bin them.

Prime Day coming up on July 12th. May be a stupid question but I'm after a 27in monitor, what's the best way to track deals on them or find out when deals become available etc?

Do Amazon do a Warehouse sale on Prime Day?

Still working really good for me, bargain of the year contender so far until it breaks
