Amazon Prime Day - 13th/14th October 2020

Blacktie. · 13-10-2020 11:01am

There's a laptop I want to get from the Spain Amazon but it says I need a Spanish address to sign up for the prime there. Does anyone know if I can sign up for the UK one and purchase from the prime sale in Spain?

They're great bar sound quality for songs. My kids love them, great for playing songs for them. Costs more but get much better sound from the Echo Plus. They have 3rd gen one for £49.99 which is very good value- link

Hi, can someone explain Amazon Prime please, I'm new to Amazon, have ordered a few items, all fine albeit I hadn't figured on different dates of delivery.

I was under the impression Prime wasn't applicable to Ireland (forgive me if I'm wrong).

I understand its a kinda subscription service but guess its probably only useful for regular purchasing. I only intend getting specific items, maybe a few times a year. I'm also using virtual UK address with DPD to save on some outrageous delivery charges to Ireland.

Thanks

use as a radio with no reception issues - voice on and off and select channel, volume
use for music streaming service
play podcasts
timer set by voice - handy for food etc - time 5 minutes
reminders
if you're asking about them presume you don't have any smart home stuff like lights etc but can control that also

the sound on the basic one is fine for small / medium sized room imo

Zero-Cool · 13-10-2020 11:03am

Thanks all for advice on the Fire Kids. Went to buy the Fire Kids 7 and says can't deliver to my address. Amazon are getting ridiculous with their shipping to Ireland.

jeffk · 13-10-2020 11:03am

Shame the non 4K isnt on special

Salvation Tambourine · 13-10-2020 11:04am

Firestick won't deliver to Ireland for me, is this normal?

Deffo not.
I needed an extra one no matter what so I was either paying the €55 on adverts or buying on prime. €33 delivered to PM through Revolut so either way I’m happy

I have been itching to buy one to make my Samsung smart tv better. I think ill buy a couple now

Anyone using Firestick. From what I;m reading it uses AC power but you can use USB power if you buy adaptor.

These I assume ?.

Mine is powered directly from my TV. Had been using the plug but I got a guy to put a TV bracket up recently and he tried direct power and it works. No adapter needed

I remember that deal. I don’t think it was the 4K one for €25 and that was the reason I didn’t buy it at the time.

The discount should apply after selecting the payment method. I had the same issue.

Was available for £10.99 for about 5 minutes last night.

el Fenomeno · 13-10-2020 11:08am

The USB power adapter for the fire stick won't ship to Parcel Motel.

I see some cheaper non brand ones - do they work just as well? They look like just regular USB leads?

torrevieja · 13-10-2020 11:09am

when you get to the payment section, it changes to the £29.99 price, you get a discount for £20.00

I find DPD's Parcel Wizard better as they deliver to your door for the same price rather than having to go somewhere to pick it up.

By and large they are grand, in the sitting room and herself father using the non 4K for "tv"

The biggest difference I seen was the wifi speeds, but then if you need a VPN to watch "tv" then that's going to take a big hit anyways

Got a 4K myself for future proof, but never use it for 4K (when the tv dies ill go 4K)

Why do you need to log in right now? If you need to find your Parcel Wizard address, it's in your emails from previous orders. If you need to top up, you can do it after you make an order.

You don't need an adaptor.

Anyone know about this?

13-10-2020 11:14am

The firesticks that won't ship to Ireland will have issues with viewing amazon prime video in Ireland btw

Can be got around by getting on to amazon usually but it can be a hassle

I thought the adapter was needed if you want to power it from your TVs USB port rather than plug + socket?

torrevieja · 13-10-2020 11:15am

can u use two firesticks at one time

They can be extremely hit and miss, and if Amazon push an update out, they will go into a bootloop until they're connected to a proper power adapter.

flower tattoo · 13-10-2020 11:18am

Echo auto reduced from €49.99 to €29.99 was looking at this last week so delighted

You can use two(or more) firesticks on with same Amazon account yes.

However deal is limited to 1 per account to buy.
