    I'm looking for a printer at the minute, so if anyone knows anything about this one, appreciate if they could give any experience with it.

    It's over €100 cheaper on Amazon Spain, It's reviews on Amazon UK have it at 4 stars (3 reviews) @ £172.44 (€204.99). So at the moment I'm very close to getting it.

    CF274A HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401d/33ppm Printer - €119.45 Delivered

    Flipping excellent price for that printer. Its predecessors the P2055 and P2015 are probably one of the most popular printers out there still today. This type of stuff is my job so I would have no hesitation to recommend this to anyone.

    You could get a same spec'd brother for probably cheaper but at this price the HP is a no brainer. Brother uses a separate drum and toner so can be a bit of a pain.

    What site did you use for the prices on the amazon sites?

    Forgive my ignorance, but
    1. Is a LaserJet printer the same as a laser printer?
    2. Would there be any problem with the electricals? (plug, voltage etc.) with electrical goods coming from Spain?
    3. Would it be possible to order it, without knowing a word of Spanish? (Afraid of what box I might tick)

    I see that it is €218.67 on the hp.ie website.
    Also it has duplex printing.

    Seems great value, hope it is not too good to be true.

    Thanks for the info.

    Yep, Priceonia. Very handy.

    It's shipping is a bit off, as recently (for example) Amazon France made shipping a flat rate of €10 (For most things). Probably something to do with Amazon Fee's hike. But it's not off by much.

    I use it for nearly every price match. It also has a Price History Chart for all the sites (Like CamelCamelCamel).

    Don't know about that Printer now.. Right after i posted, got a phone call, My Mother had just broke her arm.. :( Bad break. So I'll probably be looking after her for the next couple of days at least, going to buy her a new tablet / ereader for reading, her last one is gone. So that's where that cash is going..
    (Not going near the Nook thread..)

    1. Laser vs LaserJet
    2. You may get a different Plug, but apart from that, there should be no problem. You can still plug it in.
    3. Yep. Just the same way you would order on Amazon UK. Add to basket, go to checkout. If you are stuck with anything you could use Google Translate.

    Anyone knows how HP service here works with stuff bought in Spain? I've had a bad experience with LG telephone bought at amazon.de - I had to spend €10 twice to send it back to Germany for warranty repair (at least they repaired it). This set here will be much dearer to send.

    I'm not 100% sure, but usually in the T&C there says something about them refunding the postage.

    Still at the original price. Default seller has changed for some reason.
    Just click "añadir a la cesta" on the cheaper price to the right (at the same link) to add the item with the original price, directly from amazon.

    You're joking, aren't you?? What if I move to Japan and postage costs will be €120? Can't believe HP are so stupid to have something like that in their T&C.

    They probably don't deliver to Japan, and it's not HP. It's Amazon.

    You missed a big bit.
    Damaged, defective or incorrect
    The following table shows you what to do in the event that your product arrives damaged, defective or incorrect:

    Return Type
    Defective Product: 2 years after the date of receipt.
    What do I do?
    Keep all information regarding your product warranty. Contact the manufacturer to try to solve the problem.
    I can return the product?
    Amazon.es offers customers a legal guarantee of 2 years from the date of receipt of the product. So do not accept returns of products once this time period has passed.

    Note: when Amazon.es send you a replacement for a damaged, defective or incorrect, you must return the original product within 30 days from the date on which we confirm the replacement order. If we do not return the original product within this period of 30 days, Amazon.es reserves the right to charge the price of the replacement product in the same payment method you used to confirm the order.



    How do we calculate the cost of return shipping?
    If you return a product because of an error by Amazon.es, bear the cost of the return provided you have used a return label with postage paid. If you return a product without having been no error on the part of Amazon.es and use a return label with postage paid, we will deduct the cost of returning the total refund amount. In this case the cost of return shipping will be 7.99 € (VAT included) for both domestic and international shipments.

    It's hard to believe as cost to send this printer back to Spain is €65, so if it will break twice, costs of delivery will exceed printer price. And all of this without even starting repair! Modern economy is amazing.
