    I see a news article this morning saying ASOS are shipping to us from an EU warehouse so they are back on the list too.

    Oh I know bulbi.nl as it happens. They have a huge selection of flower bulbs, some really unusual ones if you need them.

    Update on Coronavirus: Due to stricter measures we are currently unable to deliver to United Kingdom and Ireland. Our apologies.

    Not a European site but American Eagle (the US site) has free shipping over $50 and covers any VAT or duty costs (see shipping conditions below)

    I've ordered a few times in the last year - delivery in a week or so. You will not have any extra charges.

    Wait for sales. Currently on clearance so much sale choice but around Black Friday it was 40% off on the full range pretty much - great choice and great value.

    Obviously returns are not going to be on due to cost.

    Also there is a European site but it is way more expensive and has much less choice. Ignore any prompts to switch over to that site. stay on ae.com

    Plenty of their stuff has no branding at all on it if you use the search.

    Their jeans and hoodies are good imo. Some also like their cargo shorts and polo shirts.

    Mango, men's and women's fashion retailer from Spain.


    https://shop.mango.com/ie


    I know that they have had a few stores in Ireland for women, but I've never seen men's stock.



    I've been buying from them for a few years now, site is completely in English, cheap shipping and free options, 0 issues with delivery or returns, definitely clocked €500+ in that shop and a few returns.



    If you're tired of how boring and homogenous men's fashion tends to be in Ireland, 70% of men shopping in what seems like only River Island, Next and Topman, this Spanish retailer has different ideas, it has cheerful colours, the summer wear is especially great. Some tops are a bit on the thin side for Irish climate though I had to admit.

    I can vouch for this site also but I haven't even considered them EU since they have shops here! Good point about mens fashion. Do you happen to know where they ship from?

    https://www.fnac.com/ is a great amazon-like French store. I've bought from them in the past, but not for a few years now. Prices can be more expensive than amazon, but definitely worth checking out, as bargains can be had at times. Unfortunately it's in French, but if you use Chrome (and don't do French), you can have it translated on-the-fly.

    ...There's a great Fnac physical store in Barcelona, by the way. You can easily spend a few hours wandering around there. I mean, when physical stores was a thing. ��

    Any good sites for menswear? Have used Charles Tyrwhitt before. But would definitely be open to finding some similar sites in other countries.

    We had very good experience with Esprit but it could be too casual in comparison?

    I really like Eterna mens shirts www.eterna.de
    Louis Copeland used to stock them regularly, which is how i discovered the brand. Good fit - can get Normal, Slim or even slimmer fit still. They regularly ( about 2-3 times a year) do 3 shirts for €99. Ordered in January 2021 and received the order after 4 days, delivered via DHL Germany and An Post to the door. Happy with that. No affiliation.

    Amazon are big enough to be organised so the price you pay at the check out is the final price so if duties etc are required then you'll be able to see that before finalising the transaction. No surprises on the doorstep.

    If you order from an Amazon EU website there shouldn't be anything extra anyway and even if there was again you'd be told at the checkout stage.

    If you buy from Amazon UK (when amazon fulfill not a third party) they will deduct the UK VAT and charge the itish VAT and pay the irish tax man. Of you but on amazon from a third party seller you are likely to get charged the UK VAT when you checkout plus get sting for irish VAT and an admin fee when the item comes into Ireland.

    Thats totally put me off buying from 3rd party sellers now. If its not fulfilled by Amazon, I'm out!
