I got it on my account, went all the way through to just before payment and was able to get the £5 reduction. Not UK account or using UK address.

I put it on my dad's stick to watch the football (arsenal fan) and we watched the F1 here. Think it does them all. Not really into sport so can't say for sure.

So not only is "Prime Day" spread across 2 days, they now have presale discounts?!

Fair play to Jeff.

mrcheez · 08-10-2020 3:33pm

Is this day normally followed up by a day for non-Prime members, or will the next one just be Black Friday?

Sheep Shagger · 08-10-2020 4:07pm

Amazon looking for staff too, I know there was a debate earlier in thead as to an Irish fulfillment centre

Look above it then. It's definitely there.

Edit:
It seems to have gone but the dates in the posts previously says it's valid until the 9th.

I did see this Amazon Hub offer on the App

Suckit · 08-10-2020 6:30pm

All of the amazon are currently also offering €10/£10 off with students (also works for other users) and €5 discount codes.
I think they are for specific stores on some, and for non prime qualifying products on others.

BionicRasher · 08-10-2020 7:00pm

Would it be normal for Fire Tablets (kids version specifically) to get a reduction in price on Prime day?

Yes. Not sure what reductions the kids versions get, but all amazon devices drop.
You can put a kids profile on the normal fire tablet and buy a case too.

Done this before with the 10 inch tablet. If I remember right the tablet and kids case cost the same as the ‘kids version’ (which was OOS at the time). You do miss out on some kids subscription thingy buy it was for UK residents only so didn’t bother me.
Need to get another one so hoping there’ll be a £40/50 price drop.

What quality are Amazon's own brand Tech products? Do they have a good rep?

Is there much of a difference between Amazon's brand and main brands for tech like Laptops, Tablets etc

Thomas.. · 08-10-2020 8:20pm

Amazon has got more annoying and less useful lately

I'm not too excited about black Friday

And why is black Friday now in October or is there 2

Their Firestick and tablets must be global best sellers.
They are decent, and in the sales especially, you couldn't go wrong.
They also are very good for warranty cover, which isn't always the case in many B&M stores.

The fire tablets are unbelievably good, obviously depends on your needs and what you want to do but for kids and even adults who just want to muck around online and stream....i'll never buy an branded tablet again given the price of a fire tablet.

Hi Sheep what tablet do u use is there much memory ?

SweetSand · 08-10-2020 9:38pm

It really depends what are you expecting from their tablets and the main purpose you want to use them for. We had (still have but don't use) 2 Fire HD10 for kids, fine to browse online and to watch youtube, play simple games. But when schools closed down in spring and one of my daughters had to use Seesaw for remote schooling - few times I was very close to just throw the tablet in the bin, it was just so slow and irresponsive

Ended up buying 2 Ipads (got very good price) with not original stylus pens and never had any problems since. I am a long term iPad user myself

That being said - I love their fire stick and echo dots, have echo show as well. Great customer service. Looking forward to the prime day, last year they had amazing deals, will be interesting to see how it goes this year.

You have probably been brainwashed into thinking about Black Lives Matter it is similar to Amazon Black Lives Matter Prime Day

Has there been the usual annual prime sub for £59 this year ?

I pay monthly myself but I am waiting to see what impacts Brexit will have before committing longer term.

I'm guessing import taxes, higher shipping costs, and delays similar to importing from the US which generally isn't worth it as a result.

Might have to start shopping on the .de or .fr sites after January.

They refund pro-rata from the date you cancel if you don't keep it for the full year.

Amazon already charge Irish vat so nothing would change there. Also, with their new warehouse in Rathcoole I think they have made preparations for Brexit.

Yes it would. In the absence of a formal arrangement (as yet not in place between the UK and EU), duty will also come into the equation, same as purchasing from the US or any other country outside the customs union, as well as being subject to customs inspections, etc.

As you say though, there may well be plans for something else in place by Amazon ahead of that, including the fact that they added an English version of the .de website somet time ago.

Duty is payable on point of entry to the EU.
It’s already being paid on goods coming from the UK, is it refundable on goods leaving? Might it balance out?
Aldo ignoring the Irish warehouse. They could fulfill from an EU warehouse as they already do with some stuff

ActingDanClark · 09-10-2020 11:10am

Be not concerned my friends for I have personally kept Amazon going for the last six months. John my postman will bear this out

No i had to pay £79 this year paid £59 last year got a special offer,still and all £79 is worth it if you use Amazon a lot.

Dave..M · 09-10-2020 1:49pm

Pretty sure you can cancel the 79 sub and then immediately resubscribe for the 59 offer, at least that's my plan
