    Be careful there, I had some warehouse items orphaned in my basked for a longer while and a few days back their prices went up by 25%, meaning they are back to the starting price now with 20% off. The oldest trick in the sales book.

    Lots of these so called BF "deals" aren't really deals at all. Sellers will raise their prices before sales to give the impression that their stock is on big discounts.

    Down to £286. No shrink wrap and the digital codes might be expired. I can live with that quite easily.

    Not sure about refunding the difference, but their CS should be able to set you straight.
    You could return and get a refund, and purchase the cheaper on in the mean time. Depends if £14 - return postage costs is worth the bother to ya.

    Most of the people here will be tracking on https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com so they'll be well aware of the historical prices.

    Digital radon gas detector for £131. It has been £169 over the past few months according to 3Camels.
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corentium-AirThings-Detector-International-Version/dp/B00FORY4QU

    I lost an uncle a few years ago due to lung cancer, after which his house was found to have over double the EPA action limit for radon. Although more expensive than a single use test kit (link), this could work out cheaper if you would like to test multiple rooms or a couple of family member homes. If every home/room has a low level, you can either resell it to recover some of the cost or monitor for radon on an on-going basis.

    To those looking for noise cancelling headphones I thought I'd point out the price on Sennheiser Momentums dropped to £190 recently. Very nice headphones, reviews said if noise cancelling was your priority then go Bose but if sound reproduction is your priority these have the edge. I found the noise cancelling aspect to be really good (bus/plane) but mainly I got them for their sound which is excellent.

    It's always been free returns for me. What triggers off the 14 euro return?

    I agree lot of people here use camel3, but still there's a majority out there who i'm sure are not aware of camel3. I had a Tower Airfryer which was 31.50 (Warehouse deals) now it's gone upto 48, so even after 20% supposed discount on warehouse deals it'll be expensive than the previous price.

    I was charged this fee recently, of course I haven't used and have no intention of using amazon again. High risk if you'r not happy with product or it is not as described/expected.

    The firestick is honestly fantastic, theres nothing you'll want that you won't be able to do with it.

    I can't speak for the rest, but camel3? No no no, I go out of my way to blurt our camelcamelcamel as often as I can.

    Only thing putting me off is I have the original firestick and it's slow as hell doing anything!!
    I'm hoping and surely there would be an improvement on speed!

    Some video encoding might not work. Some services ;) serve content that the firestick just can't decode. That said its very very rare, and i've not tried to install any codecs so there's probably a solution out there.

    My endorsement: I bought a smart samsung TV about 2 years ago, I only use a FireStick now.

    Anyone know the story with Fire Stick listings saying it only ships to the UK and some services are not available? I only need it for Netflix/Spotify but would like to add an Echo down the road. Anyone know what services are restricted on it?

    but each warehouse item is individually priced depending on it's condition - the one you saw at 31.50 may not be the same one that was priced at 48...

    The fire tv sticks have all of the prime video stuff showing, but won't work even if you subscribe to prime (or at least has never worked for me).
