    I've had prime for the past 6 months. I generally post everything to Parcel Motel. It's an extra charge but I get next day delivery for free (and the day for PM to deliver) and the PM cost is offset by the savings on the fast postage side. The video is quite good since I switched to 'living' in the UK too. :)

    Prime now has free two day delivery to Ireland.

    I literally got onto their chat, and said I had wanted to change my video region to the UK. They didn't ask any questions. Nice and straightforward.

    Used it a couple of times. Turns out I'm much happier to pay the extra for PM than wait around for and deal with couriers.

    Just some info for those looking to get changed from Ireland to UK region for prime video. I've just done it, took about 30 seconds. Like others have said, no questions asked, no hassle. I had the PM postcode handy just incase they looked for it but they didn't.

    I went to the contact us page.

    Excellent. The selection, which not as good as Netflix, is still pretty good, and with the great TV shows, and better range of movies, it's more than worth wit Prime price with the faster delivery.

    However, I'm in Canada right now, and damn, I wish we had their Netflix. I have access to The Office (US) now! :D

    Just been looking through Prime. Seems ok. Looking to watch Vikings and Mr Robot. Bit annoying how they mix paid content with prime.

    Is there anyway of seeing the quality of content. If it's 1080p or 4k etc?

    Did you look at justwatch.com link I posted? It seems to list the quality breakdown SD, HD and 4K and what each costs

    Might be a stupid question but if I start a trial with Amazon Prime video does that include Prime for delivery too. Pre-ordered a game so next day delivery or deliver on the day would be ideal. In other words if I take that 2.99 per month (for six months) deal will I be able to get quicker delivery?

    Haven't looked into Prime too much (hence a possibly dumb question) as I wasn't that impressed with the catalogue but after hearing you can change region might have to give it a go.

    Hi all
    Maybe someone here might be able to help me. Just signed up for prime and set it up on my tv. I see Walking Dead, Lucifer and a few others that I thought were UK only. Have they expanded the Irish selection or do I have the UK library now?

    I think the best test is to see if you have Batman vs Superman as that's not available to irish prime but is on UK prime.

    Thanks,

    Yes, AFAIK it's an EU thing, they can no longer geo restrict as the sell to both UK and Ireland, could be wrong.

    Anyhow, you do not need a VPN to view full UK content

    Yeah kicked in from the 1st April 2018 (no April fool :p). Previously my UK prime video content was reduced as I was 'travelling'. Now I get the lot.

    Use live chat. Say you currently have international prime video, have moved and want to update to prime video UK. In the chat they will ask for your UK address.

    Thanks - this worked perfectly.

    Me: Can you please update my Prime Video region to UK as it should be.

    You're now connected to <Redacted> from Amazon.co.uk
    Redacted: Hello, I'm Redacted.
    I'll check that for you.
    I've updated your Video territory settings to UK.

    Me: Briliant, thanks!

    Redacted: You are welcome.

    I just signed up now and got the location changed to the UK via chat.

    Is it Batman vs Superman "Dawn of justice" - 2016

    That's showing on my prime video app now

    I tried to listen to Amazon music it looks for CC ( I used Revolut Mastercard) and address but comes up with an error saying not in Ireland etc :(

    Edit: added new virtual "visa" on my revolut account and got signed up ok on amazon music with PM address :)

    Actually, I think I will be charged for Amazon music separate and it's not included in prime subscription from what I'm reading. I had better cancel that then :).
    It seems that its prime music is free (2 million songs) its the music unlimited is charged at £79 per year :)

    Hmmmm I've been on with a lad and he says;

    As you have opened a membership for Ireland you will only get access to constant available in Ireland this is because of content license restrictions.

    I asked about geo restrictions being gone and he said nope...

    Told/spoofed him I am moving to the north next week... said changing address is not enough, IP address should also be for that location!!.

    He then said that if a user had signed up for video via amazon.co.uk and NOT primevideo.com from Ireland then it was probably working for them, but I see now if in Ireland you can only get the prime video via primevideo.com.
