    I tried to order some tea on Amazon but when I got to the checkout it said it couldn't be delivered to Ireland. I've ordered both tea and coffee before with no problem. Have they changed there policy on tea recently or is it just the specific brand I want that they can't send?

    Are you buying from Amazon or 3rd party seller? If directly from Amazon they should deliver.

    It's not sold by Amazon but it is dispatched by Amazon. I tried adding some other teas that I didn't want, some of which were dispatched by Amazon but not sold by them as well, and they would have sent them. I'm really confused!

    Why not join Parcel Motel they will give you a UK address to send the parcel to and then forward it on to a collection depot near you, usually located at Petrol stations, supermarkets etc -fee per parcel € 3.95 This way you can also avail of Free UK delivery that is offered by most Amazon sellers - I have been using this service for some time and find it great ! Go to parcelmotel.com and register

    Some sellers of Fulfilled by Amazon items do not allow delivery to Ireland as Amazon charge them for the delivery.

    Click on the item if there are more than 1 seller and see if it is sold by Amazon

    If you order one single item this will work well but amazon have a habit of delivering orders with multiple items one or two at a time. Parcel motel will charge €3.95 for every package from Amazon.

    Yes, I agree, you need to be sure Amazon will deliver all items together.
