Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

Zaph

Possibly worth having a chat thread for some of the stuff posted on the bargains thread. Anyway, in relation to this:

Amazon Essentials Men's 2-Pack Slim-fit Crewneck T-Shirt, Pack of 2 - £4.04+ depending on size.

Even at that price not worth the money. Took a chance on them around Christmas and have never worn them other than to try them on. The fabric is quite heavy for a t-shirt, but the main issue is that the fit is terrible, particularly around the shoulders. They're cheap for a reason.

That £5 promotion was there at checkout but now's it's not

I did have a second UK address which I've deleted

Would that have been enough just to have the second address as a UK address on the account I wonder

Those promotions don't work all the time anyhow

What pisses me off lately about Amazon is the "See All Buying Options" that is always three or four times the normal price,or you need a subscription. Who even buys that crap?

If you want to sell on Amazon you should have to give a visible price and a one time purchase option.

I don't suppose Amazon purposely reduce product availability for Ireland - it will be a combination of import regulations (e.g. food), transportation e.g. flammables), market restrictions by manufacturers, distributors and third party sellers. They possibly could sell more items, but likely don't bother about that too much either. But can't argue on the price of Prime membership - we pay the most for Amazon Prime in Europe and quite possibly get the least offered in return. And even amazon.ie would not necessarily mean an improvement there.

But they still take the same money for Prime membership UK or Ireland.

I don't understand all the complaints about Amazon UK. We live in a different country so they can choose what they want to ship abroad.

They're getting more annoying lately

Screwdriver set sold and fulfilled on BF wouldn't ship here

Also activated a £5 promotion, not working T&C's then says u need a UK address to use it

Yep. Seems to be the heavier/larger items. Perhaps they do a cross-check on customs to claw back any few euro they can.

SourSessions

Anyone had a delay due to customs issue with Amazon before? Normally it sails right through.

"yes that's true but to phrase my orginal question more correctly, are we seeing less of Amazon themselves covering an item for ROI & leaving it to 3rd parties."

Not for the item you linked to anyway as it has never been sold from Amazon directly.

yes that's true but to phrase my orginal question more correctly, are we seeing less of Amazon themselves covering an item for ROI & leaving it to 3rd parties. I thought with the new Dublin warehouse it should be going in the other direction.

Maybe it's because I'm flicking between NI and PRI address more myself. In this case I got a camelcamel price alert but when I clicked on the item there ws no discount (as this was the 3rd party based on my default ROI address).

just checked a eufy security cam 2c, sold by ankerdirect - on sale to uk customers for £59.99, and additional £10 voucher off too.

all the other amazon sites are €99 as is the eufy site itself.

tried that with a eufy cam 2c, didn't work. maybe it just works for amazon products?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119932783#Comment_119932783

that could be because it's a third party seller and not ankerdirect

you can get it rrefurbished from ankerdirect for £75 if that's any good to you

Its a 3rd party seller, not Amazon.

Is there more & more of this on Amazon with the deals on UK address but not to the ROI address.

Take the following.

Black Friday deal with UK address for £89 but ROI is £168

Anyone know if I get an amazon Kids tablet from the US can I register it to my Amazon UK account and activate the kids+ sub without any issues?

Is the Amazon.com set up and apps the same as those on an amazon tablet bought from Amazon UK?

Did you pick those up in ROI Argos? Curious as I didn't think they sold them here. The kids fires are UK restricted probably for content licensing on kids+ or similar reason. I've been running two kids fire 8s for 5 yrs and only limitation is some content is geo blocked. I actually have traded in 1 of them now and ordered a new kids fire 10 pro but I had to drop it off in a Newry UPS collection point and the new tablet will be delivered to a mate who lives in NI. Trading in the old tablet gave me 20% off a new one plus a £10 voucher so with the BF sale price I paid £94 for the new kids Fire HD 10 pro. To get these working have a NI address as default on your amazon account and also go into device preferences and change the country region settings to UK. You should be able to use the majority of what the tablet does then even activate the kids+ subscription albeit it will geoblock some content.

its exactly the same hardware - I used an Irish account when setting it up and bbc was missing so I just reset fire stick to defaults in the menus and used an amazon account that had my parcel motel address - and bbc player was installed.

still needs a vpn though of course. Getflix worked ok for me.

I've 2 setup - SmartDNSProxy (who as the name suggests have both Smart DNS and VPN services, I think Getflix are the same company) and Private Internet Access (PIA). Both seem to work ok with iPlayer.

As a heads up I just got an Amazon Fire kids tablet in Argos and the whole reason I bought it (parental controls for the kids) doesn't work in Ireland. The amazon parent dashboard redirects to https://parents.amazon.co.uk/countryNotSupported

As far as I can tell so far that makes adding apps etc. to the kids' profile impossible unless you implement a workaround with VPN and by changing your address to the UK. Needless to say that's janky. Might be worth researching other kids' tablet options to save yourself the hassle.

EDIT: Actually a VPN is not required. To get Amazon Kids and parental controls working in Ireland I did this:

Changed my default address to a UK address. I think you could make one up. I used an old Parcelmotel UK address that isn't even active anymore because Parcelmotel discontinued that service
Connect to Amazon customer service on chat. Ask them to update the default address to the UK one. Note that even though I had done this myself in my Amazon account settings, I still couldn't access Amazon parental controls until I asked the Amazon chat support rep to do it for me. Also note during the chat they asked where I was currently and I told them Ireland.

The parental controls are good in fairness - I like that you can set it so the kid has to read for x minutes to get y minutes of app time.

Can I ask what vpn you use? One I paid for is useless for BBC iplayer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119930237#Comment_119930237

the 3 main things I use my Firestick for are BBC iPlayer, NBC Sports (both via VPN) and All4 (which for some reason isn't on my smart TV and SkyQ doesn't have the full range of programs that the app has).

have you a friend in the uk? Get them to wrap it as a xmas present - value will be under the 45e threshold for a gift - "Gifts may be imported free of VAT and customs charges where the value of the gift (including insurance, freight and postage costs) is €45 or less and the gift is correctly electronically declared as such for customs purposes etc." - works for me -

Out of interest can you tell me are there any benefits to getting a firestick when I already have Sky Q?

UK has BBC iPlayer, Irish does not

Saw loads of them in a basket in Currys in store yesterday on discount at half price. I would have thought UK and Ireland versions were same? I think it depends on the amazon account you use to activate it that gives you some UK options.

Easiest way to get a UK version firestick to Ireland?
