    In another thread a guy (jamescd) got free supersaver delivery on an item under £25, I put an order through for about £12 and it was free too. Usually you have to be over £25 for free delivery to Ireland.

    Their website still states £25 is still the limit so it might be a glitch as they did have other trouble with they supersaver system recently.

    I attempted another order of a dvd for £9 and also got offered free delivery

    If you're buying books why use Amazon. The book depository has free shipping world wide.

    Baffles me that people use Amazon anymore.

    Even just for books, Amazon are still sometimes cheaper than the book depository. And quicker to ship. I was waiting aaages for my last order from the book depository.

    The book depository are ****ing slow though... With Amazon I'll get something within the week if I order over the weekend, with TBS it might show up a couple of weeks later. (Delivery to a UK address btw)
    They're fine if you want to use a 10% off voucher that they're so fond of issuing and are in no hurry for the book, but otherwise I'd use Amazon

    A similar glitch exists with Sendit.com. They say they charge 99p delivery to Ireland but fail to actually charge it. This was also the case with Asda, however they now appear to have corrected it. (I have only ordered DVDs from either).

    With the Book Depository, I once ordered a book on Sunday evening and had it by normal delivery the following Tuesday. It may just be luck of the draw.

    Still working, I have an item in my basket for £9 and I have the option for free delivery. Wonder if they would cancel the order and look for the shipping costs?

    I notice that the free supersaver is also to a variety of european countries. Does anybody know if we can get supersaver to Ireland from continental amazon sites, like amazon.de or amazon.fr? I was trying to use google translator to find out but couldn't see anything. Would be handy to avoid currency conversion fees.

    The free super saver on orders under £25 is handy at the min though!

    They do, for standard AV and printed material. Not groceries, obviously!

    I ordered a bluray box set last night for about £16 and it should be despatched soon. I'll let you know how I get on.

    I also tried to order a DVD worth a mere £3 and I'm still getting the free delivery option :)

    Just added a book there to my basket worth £6 and I'm still getting the free delivery option :confused:

    Did you make sure all of the items you added are sold by amazon and not a different merchant ? Check just below the price of each item, it needs to say "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk"

    For those with multiple items you need to make sure they are all be sold/dispatched by amazon.co.uk or you will incur seller's postage charges.

    To filter out marketplace sellers first do your search, say for a micro sd card, then you have to select "by department", where it says "Electronics & Photo: See all 21,256 items ", now on the left side of the screen down the bottom you can click a tick box on "seller", if amazon is not there click "see more" and select amazon.

    You can also choose "free supersaver delivery" on the left, this will show some marketplace sellers who might only give free delivery to the UK, or some are delivering from Jersey so you might be liable for VAT if over €22 and possibly duty if over €150
