    Just get the one directly from amazon. It's only £2 more but saves you the trouble of going through Parcel Motel

    Same with the 250GB (only £1.70 more)

    hmm, has amazon suddenly changed their method of operations?
    We HAVE TO use parcel motel to get around the fact that amazon WONT SHIP electronics to ROI?

    They stopped that a long time ago. Unless they are still doing it from a certain size up.

    AFAIK it was aomething to do with the WEEE.

    Before buying off Amazon.co.uk, check the German (and sometimes) French equivalents. In particular, I have found amazon.de to be much cheaper for SSD prices.

    For example the new Crucial MX100 is £150 (and a bit more when Irish VAT is applied) and when the sterling FX rate is applied and your credit card charge is also added, the price is just under €200. The same item using Parcel Motel is €181.

    Nope, I've been buying electronics from them for years. Only thing I'm aware of that they might not ship are the really big TV's, everything else they do deliver to Ireland.

    Been buying electronics from amazon for ages now, anything over £25 is free shipping. They have certain restrictions on what they will ship to ireland (weights, TV's 39" and over, etc).

    Bought a crucial m500 120gb not too long ago from amazon, worked out at about €75 all in. PC is much faster now, very happy with it.

    Not sure why anyone is tracking the m4 when it's been replaced by the m500, the m550 and now the mx100...

    Mx100 is easily the best ssd going, cheapest per gb for a top performing drive.
