Finally happened. Wonder will we still get same bargains as UK site??
Did you think of having a look on
https://www.richersounds.ie/ ?
The lads there are really sound and sometimes do good deals via their forum on boards.
Would I need a separate Prime subscription?
Will next day actually be next day?
No Audible service on Amazon.ie for audiobooks yet but that may take time with existing licensing agreements, etc.
Lots of stuff I've looked up is on .ie and comes from .de. Prices seem to be the same so its free shipping from .de for a lot of stuff on my .de wishlist.
why would they?
German and Dutch and French customers can buy from Amazon UK, just as you can buy from amazon Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain etc if you wish and the items are available for shipping to Ireland.
Their systems are so automated that it makes little difference.
Prices will differ as amazon may use different suppliers for different markets and those suppliers may have different pricing to each other. Just as you can see a different price on amazon.de to amazon.fr for identical items
Anyone know if there is much of a difference between .ie and .de websites?
I'm looking at this. €67 from UK (will there be customs charges as well?).
€61 from Irish site and a tenner discount.
Any thoughts? I've never bought anything from Amazon.
Doogee U10 10.1 4GB/128GB Green - Tablet Brand https://amzn.eu/d/07dCewN
see my updated post, seems you can. Along with other items that were restricted.
That was the thing I was looking forward to from an amazon.ie site or even batteries in general as there are some types impossible to buy in Ireland. The amazon.ie is still very young, it's in 6 months we'll know if it's just a wrapper for the UK site with a selection of popular goods for Ireland.
What a rip off (and yes I know they won't ship usb power banks to Ireland from .co.uk )
€36.99 on ie,
€19.93 on .co.uk

Pass for me
No power banks available from amazon.ie
Edit: it actually appears you can order them. I just tried two anker power banks and it went all the way through to place order to my irish address.
I had to click "more buying options", as it appear it wasn't able to be shipped, but it let me click amazon as the seller under more buying options.
Edit 2: I think it might be a "bug", as i've tried several items, including chemicals and it's getting all the way to place order (using "more buying options" and picking a seller)
Yep
So you need to maintain a UK account in order to get books on your Kindle?
The kindle book store is staying on .co.uk which is a pain in the hoop if you were to decide to switch to .ie for everything else.
A saved item is €300 on UK site but is 340 on the Irish site. What’s the point of it if it’s considerably more expensive. They’re going to have to stop delivering to Ireland on Amazon UK or bring down their prices otherwise it’s going to end up being pointless
hrrmmph
I won't be switching yet either, I bought a Hi-fi system last month on UK site, at moment on UK site its €474 on IE site its €519 because its being dispatched from UK.
I wonder what Amazon Prime Video will be like, will it be same as UK or will we lose certain TV shows due to rights etc., no mention of that on here news page.
They need to price match with the UK site to get people to move over. But no surprise really that .ie is more expensive.
What's the €10 promotion? Share!!
Ah
They can't be transferred
Indeed, makes no sense for them otherwise to set up .ie option
We are going to get shafted. I can feel it. And still no poxy charger banks….unless you want to pay silly money for Belkin.
thats kind of being happing for a while now more and more things were becoming undeliverable ,will only probably increase now though.
Only thing I ever wanted Amazon.ie for was to buy laptops off them with a UK keyboard layout but still be able to reclaim the VAT. First thing I did was check the new MacBook air, says it's sold from Amazon UK and import charges are included in the price. Fúcking useless so.
Anybody know if you have a gift card balance on the uk site and do the switch to the .ie site does the gift card balance transfer over ?
One thing I buy when it's on special on the UK site was a bit cheaper on the Irish site but not by a whole lot. The .ie site was selling some some non alcoholic drinks and chocolate. You can't buy that stuff on the UK site from Ireland. I'll be keeping my Prime UK subscription a while longer yet.
Have a pair of headphones in my UK basket @ £189. Checked .IE, €224.75 less €10 promotion €214.75. So slightly cheaper in this case!!!
will they start limiting delivery from the Uk site to addressing in ROi I wonder
spent a pretty penny the past week, the ie site would have cost considerably more. Will be sticking to the UK site!
Wonder if they will start restricting Prime
Just checked the prices on a number of items which I had in my basket and prices are around 14% more expensive on the Irish site. Not too long ago I purchased a chain tool from Amazon.com for €140.91 and that included import charges and VAT. The same tool would have cost me €207.65. from Amazon.uk
