Amazon Prime £59 for a year.

For Prime TV UK users on here, how do you find it compared to Netflix? I had trial of Irish Prime TV and its fairly poor and found a lot of stuff required extra payments too. I'm subscribed to Netflix at the middle tier package and I'm thinking this will work out at half the price over the year. Don't get much use out of Netflix really

I paid the £79 last October. Is this deal of any use to me?

Everything that I have bought from Amazon.co.uk recently seems to have physically come from Amazon SARL (in other words: France)
Is that their way of preparing for Brexit? Or just a co-incidence ?

I thought Amazon SARL was a sort of tax avoidance gig. Registered in Luxembourg

Amazon.de has had an English option for at least two years. Amazon.de fulfilled orders have been free shipping if over €29 for a good while too. Unfortunately, your Prime UK subscription doesn't carry over though - I've tried!

Yeah, it depends. I do see that a lot which can be frustrating if you'd prefer to combine items due to Parcel Wizard costs. Often I order 3 things and Amazon splits them up coming from different distribution centres.

I think Amazon has been preparing for years. The fact that you can seamlessly login to any amazon site and carry over your payment details to start. Specifically Amazon.de now support english and other languages to me says they are preparing for a shift to their next biggest Amazon distribution hub. I've noticed sometimes the .de site offers free delivery on orders over €29.00. DPD can hopefully setup an address in Germany for me soon enough and I'll be sorted.

The free option from Amazon.de is only for countries in a catchment area bordering Germany and mostly it's over €39.
See here for rates;

Reading through the posts I have 2 questions people might be able to help with. Im an Amazon customer and have an address registered both here and in NI for deliveries but this is my account address so to speak. I previously had a 1 month trial but that was maybe a year ago. My credit card is registered with them.

In relation to Prime Video and music I see its merely a case of contacting them by live chat and ask to be changed to UK but would they ask for a UK card at that point? Also (Im not too technically minded) would they pick up from the IP address that Im in ROI and block some of the video content? Prime Music is only available to UK so would that be available if I can get them to change the settings?

Apologies for all the questions

Tried chat to change region. Refused until I can put a UK card and UK Billing address on my account.

You're both overthinking it. Just get on chat and ask them to set your Prime Video region to UK. Tell them as little as possible. Don't mention Ireland and don't bother fiddling with changing address. Genghis, I know you tried this already - just try again tomorrow. Look through previous posts, there's nothing to it. It's just not guaranteed to work first time.

Good luck!

Got the video working, anyone get Prime music working though after that? It's asking me for a UK card

If you have UK Prime does that also include Germany, Spain and France as Prime member or is your membership for orders UK/Ireland only? 3 months to Brexit limits the appeal if it's UK only.

I have irish prime (I think), also got a UK billing and delivery address (the benefits of being a nordie, not sure if it fully compensates for the fact that ye all think we're nuts, especially this time of year, but..), rarely use prime video, is the content substantially better with uk access (Or is it just crap with a terrible interface anyway)?
Until they add proper Chromecast accessibility I'll rarely use it anyway, but I hear that's en-route, so decent prime might make a difference.

They've added casting already!

I tried contacting support to update the address but no joy so will try again next week

Just checked and you are correct, must have been in the last few weeks. Now that is an actual game changer.

I have fleabag season 1, have to rent or buy the Lego movie though (lego batman etc appear to be free).

But Chromecast might be enough to have me commit for the year, if the offer is still on that is.

Just changed the location with the chat, so easy. Mention Belfast once. Never asked again. Sign out and sign in. Job done. Thks to whatever poster mentioned. Defo more stuff on UK version..

Availed of this offer last year, was expecting to pay 79st this year though as i still had over a month left on that sub, but contacted them and asked them to cancel it and refund remaining amount, then when i received the email confirmation, i then signed up for the 59st offer again. I'm not a heavy prime user, so 59st is enough for me lol

How many more ways do you need?

Ahhhm 5 more please.

Just thought I'd have to contact chat support as others did. Must have a gander at content later now.
