Ordering games from Amazon?

Richard Dower

Is there any easier method for ordering?....they dont deliver to Ireland and this Parcel Motel malarky seems complicated and extended delivery time.

So is the hassle worth saving 20 quid

Assuming you're talking about .co.uk.... Amazon do deliver games to Ireland.

I ordered a ton feck of Lego and games from Amazon.co.UK . just make account and put Irish address. In the end it will add Irish vat and that's it. If the purchase over 25£ then delivery is free. Usually takes about 3-5 days.

I had no issues with pre-ordering GTA from them anyway

Yeah they do deliver(and free if its over £25)Have ordered books,games and boardgames off them no problem.Normally delivered in 3 days.
EDIT:nearly the exact same post as ShadowHearth,weird

parcel motel is not at all complicated and delivery time in most cases is shorter imo.

But you don't need parcel motel with Amazon.co.uk when you buy stuff on their free delivery deals. It's a shorter lead time for me to get it sent to where I work, as opposed to off to somewhere else for me to pick it up afterwards.

I've pre-ordered GTAV from Amazon with free UK first class delivery i.e. within 1 day of release, and using Parcelmotel, I should have it in my hands by the 18th or 19th at the latest, now that's well worth saving €20.

The only time amazon wouldn't let me order a game resulting in me using Parcel Motel was when I ordered off Marketplace and not from them directly

Elmidena

There's been cases in the past all right where I couldn't place an order for a game to come here, but I preordered a few weeks back and it went through ok.... now having a mini panic wondering should I change address to parental in the UK or use ParcelMotel or just hope for the best... I'm better at killing hookers than making decisions :pac:

I told you in the other thread it's not difficult to set up a PM account.

That's E20 per game you're saving, not a once off E20.
So well worth ordering off amazon.

Richard, are you actually having difficulty putting through an order on amazon? Something my 5 year old brother has done twice.

Here's a simple step by step.

Go to www.amazon.co.uk
Search for the product you want to buy
Find item in search results
Click on item yo be redirected to product page
Find the add yo basket and click on it
Proceed to checkout
now sign in to your account or set up a new one
if it's the latter then fill in all your detsils
select your delivery address
Next select payment method
Now on checkout page ensure all the details are correct and if your order is above £25 select free super saver delivery
Finally click on the buy it Icon and wait by your postbox

A few of us told you in the PS forum, that Amazon do deliver to Ireland. Sometimes, if you're buying from a reseller & not Amazon directly, they don't ship here but Amazon themselves do. Also, free supersaver delivery on items when you spend over £25 is sweet.

Parcel Motel couldn't be easier to set up & use either, give it a try. Your first two collections are free I think

Sephiroth_dude

Do standard delivery (3-4 days) and super saver delivery (4-5 days) come via an post yeah?and the two day delivery is via courier ?

BeerWolf

Er, they do?


I've ordered numerous items off them at good prices.

That's exactly how most of us feel when you go on and on about some show aimed at 17 year old girls.

If you think Lego is just for kids then you have obviously never seen any of the bad ass Lego statues or possible play sets such as the Portal one.

How dare you! :pac:

Lego is awesome and no matter what age you are. I am full out blown AFOL and proud of it, even it gives me a few weird looks. Best thing is, that Lego was always and investment. A damn fun investment.



To keep it still on topic, that another part of my mancave. And yes, I am PC gamer! :pac:
* There is a 42' TV in a back to ready for PS4. Damn TV does not even have Plastic off bezels. :pac:

Only 2 Warcraft collector editions?

Collection = Horrible

DuckSlice

I bought The Last Of Us off amazon, and have GTA V on pre-order from there no problems. It's quite simple really.

I hate it when herself calls it my Mancave. "Men have dens and this is just a games room!"

When I moved in it was there. One of the best parts of the house. Its huge for all my monitors and more, Comfortable, lots of drawers for stuff, big enough to be able to play with lego, great structural construction of a table it self, Misses shadowhearth helping me to test it regularly.

donegal.

love zoids
love that desk

Skerries

yeah I find it funny Richard slagging ShadowH about seemingly childish things (Lego ftw!) and he is always watching CW shows aimed at tween girls
