Cost of WEEE

SeaSide

Bought a Digital Camera off Amazon last year. Went back a couple of weeks ago to buy another memory card but they wont send it to Ireland. Emailed Amazon with a query and its due to the WEEE.

So I'm pissed because the card on Amazon is £30 (€43) while here its going to cost me €120.

They may have told you that, but I doubt it. There've been other threads here on this subject recently, and it appears to be more down to many parcels going missing in transit and the subsequent cost of providing replacements.

Anyway, all other EU states will have to implement the WEEE directive soon, including the UK, so it won't make any difference to Amazon one way or another.

What kind of camera memory card is going to cost €120 by the way?

Got mine from there a few weeks ago. Forget if it was the Fuji one or the olympus one, but it was the Hi-speed card anyway, and was the best price online delivered...
