    They've been doing it for a good few years (I'd say close to 5 or 6) with UK addresses by this point. Methinks that competition from the likes of www.bookdepository.co.uk and similar who offer free delivery anywhere are what is pushing Amazon into doing this after years of not doing it. I know that I've been using the Book Depository website since I found it due to the free shipping.

    Just to add to this......www.play.com.....also do free shiping.

    Why not outsource everything outside the country, and just buy everything from countries which have lower rates, electricity, insurance, wages , banking , I.T., accountancy + other overheads ? :rolleyes: Our little country suffers from lack of economy of scale anyway. No wonder our govt vat + tax receipts are way down. Roll on the IMF.
