Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

nothing confirmed yet but rumours are a €2.95 processing fee will be in place at a later date

Is there any extension for quickly checking the pricing between the .co.uk and the .ie site on an item page? I am sick of doing the manual edit of the URL for each item.

I'll probably jump ship from amazon uk with this €3 bullshit.

Temu is where it's at these days anyway.

Ie still seems like a bit of a joke. The prices seem a lot more than UK and even the website isn't as well designed.

+VAT on top of the total.

I've seen quite a few things that were cheaper on.ie the latest being a bed wedge to fill the gap between the mattress and the bed frame. €21.99 on or £29.99 on .co.uk Same with some kids toys

From my understanding prices remain the same and Amazon should add the extra €3 to checkout per customs catergory from July 1st.

Where the money goes nobody knows

€3 charge is a new one, I’ve never fully understood what the extra import charge was for as anything I’ve ever paid marked as that has been refunded just shy of 6 months later

Its happened to me too, regular order and very little return but. ordered from Warehouse, didn't work (so in same way as blades, useless to me), agreed a return via chat and then got the warning.

If I had returned more than 2 things to Amazon in the 12 months previous I'd be suprised, as you see in your communication they only say you are being monitored no statement of orders v returns which has led to the action.

I have returned things to Amazon since, as I always had done and, haven't been cancelled or contacted again.

I didn't get an email but there is a note if I click start a return.

I returned bedsheets that were ripped.

Seems like Amazon have done a U turn and have pretty poor customer support these days. That along with increased prices I don't find myself using them very often anymore.

Previously they were far too generous with returns which was very open to scams

That's an insane move to flip from that overgenerous, prone to abuse customer service policy directly to an aggressive regime, in which customers are threatened over returns literally agreed on with the CS. And if the customer base pushes back, they will simply blame it on a tech glitch. Another great ad for AI in the hands of multi-trillion-dollar corporations. BTW, you won't find a better argument not to buy from Amazon Warehouse anymore. Not only are the discounts minuscule, descriptions inaccurate, but now you can also get flagged for returning the rubbish they advertise as "Like new".

Yeah, isn't this to target Chinese imports more than anything?
