Problems ordering my tv.... please help!

tupac_healy

Im trying to order a tv from amazon.co.uk, now a few of my friends assure me that amazon do in fact ship tvs to ireland....

Im ordering from amazon themselves (not one of the other traders there) and it says 'eligable for super saver delivery'

Yet when I try to process the transacton through the checkout I get a 'some of the items cannot be shipped to the addresss selected, please choose a different address'


Before I contact amazon, has anyone here actually ordered a tv from them?

What make is the tv, and more importantly what size is it?

Please let us know the make model and size of the TV, and the price. Also your rough location (ie; Dublin, Cork, etc).

There are... places that transport it from up north if it's small, there's a man with a van that does (well, I think he still does) deliveries from North to down here, and finally there's a few shops up North that will deliver down here.

Samsung, 47" smart tv, I don't have the product code off hand... Its 880euro and Cork area

Yeah, don't think you'll beat 880 euro for a Samsung. Double check the size, though, as Samsung don't seem to do 47"; its 46"

Argos has a Samsung EH530 46 Inch Full HD Freeview HD Smart LED TV for €979

Richersounds had a 50" 3D SMART Panosonic one for 899 pounds, but I think shipping is another £40 or so.

Peats has a Panasonic TX-L47E5B which is a 47" Smart VIERA LED TV for €799, but that's a sale price, and I'm not sure how long!

Peats currently offer FREE delivery for orders over €50 and under 25kg. The TV is over €50, and still under 21kg [url=Whttp://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/VIERA+Flat+Screen+TV/2012+Smart+VIERA+LED+TV/TX-L47E5B/Specification/9038104/index.html"]with the stand[/url]!

I'll have a look at all of those mentioned, cheers


Oh also, Amazon got back to me, big long detailed email about almost everything except what I asked them, but buried somewhere there amongst it they did mention that basically anything over 26" cannot be delivered to Ireland

i got a 32 inch samsung from amazon delivered to cork a few months back, so unless they have changed their policy in the last few weeks it should be ok, an post delivered it, have to say the tv was fairly light in weight, i know for a fact they will not deliver anything over 32 inches in screen size.

Really????

They must have changed policy alright because a few of my friends assure me that the do or at least did, looks like I will just have to fork out the extra cash to buy local

there is one place where you get good value in a tv, pixmania.ie they mainly ship from europe so it will be a european spec model rather than a uk or irish model, same tv just a different letter at the end, they will post any size parcel to ireland, just make sure it has an mpeg 4 tuner i think it is to get saorview, most of them do.

Ehhh, I searched pixmania on here before and there are a more than a few threads about the terrible customer service they offer should something go wrong!!!


Its just not worth the risk for the extra 100 or so euro


Anyhow, my TV saga has ended
