    Just means you are too late for the deal. Amazon changes prices many times during the day. Keep an eye on it as it may return as I bought it for 8.33 last week too. Then it went back up. Then or appeared for 8.33 again a few days later.

    Best to order separately, just in case.

    Order them one at a time.
    Have 10 different orders.
    If they ship them all together, you’ll not get caught.

    its calculated on total plus postage , best way is order and pay for everything separately .
    . not good for environment but better for your pocket .

    Its not an issue with the environment in many cases.
    I done it for various orders over the last few weeks, toothpaste, small tools etc and when you order multiples, even in separate orders, they group them all into one box, which of course is recyclable.

    Thanks,

    The problem is that all of my S+S orders seem to be coming on the same day, 8th March. I had 2 already set up before these great bargains so Amazon seems to be putting them all together for one delivery. If this is the case, then it's possible that I will go over the 22

    Yes, but when you subscribe and save to many items, when you've already got some due for delivery. Amazon put them all together, so you can't subscribe and save items separately.

    Yes, I can purchase them individually but not use the extra discount through S+S.

    I’d the one order is over the allowance, Amazon will charge you at source.

    Not sure whats all the banter and don't have time to look.

    However, I have ordered multiple items separately with the same-day delivery.
    The total was over 22 euro and I have no extra payment at the door...

    Were the orders grouped together into a single box? If the box is valued over €22 then VAT is due

    No it’s not!

    I had 5 separate orders last week totally £75.
    All sent in the one box, with the value of £75 printed on the label.
    No VAT.

    Amazon don't have some magic exemption. The VAT is due. Either their systems are messing up or they are paying the VAT themselves.
    Edit: I thought I was on the logistics thread. Apologies to the mods for veering off-topic

    Believe what you want.

    We’re telling you what’s actually happening.

    I have a feeling that technically vat might be required, but customs don't have the time or inclination to check amazon parcels...

    Why would VAT be required if under the threshold? The world and their mother know Amz are charging at source if applicable. (Well done to them as usual for leading the way)

    If you purchase 100 items individually , all exempt, and Amz chose to bulk them together, why would they be checked here?

    Answer: they wouldn’t.

    I’ve had multiple orders arrive over the value from individual purchases boxed together for the same day delivery.

    Yesterday I got socket set, spanner set and toothpaste all boxed together, yet they were individual orders totalling over €30.

    I've had the same experience. I bought items individually to take advantage of not having to pay VAT for things under €22 but the items were shipped together.

    If you purchase the items in single transactions and no vat is due and amazon choose to shop them together then that’s doesn’t magically mean vat should be applied lol
    Amazon are fully vat compliant and deduct U.K. and add eu vat at checkout as needed


    The bargains still apply to items below the vat threshold, Amazon’s shipping choice is up to themselves

    So I could theoretically buy 10,000 door knobs from China individually, they all get delivered together and I can avoid paying VAT and customs.

    That clearly wouldn't be the case.

    What part of they’re separate orders are you not
    Understanding ? It’s Amazon’s decision to parcel them up together to save money. The vat is charged with amazon at point of source, when you buy the item.
