    Just checked the site this morning as I ordered a PC off of them but it appears they no longer sell to Ireland as of today.

    I use Dabs all the time and will miss it sorely :( ...however...The new BT store delivers to Ireland :)

    I have a cable on the way. It will be here tomorrow . Dabs are still honoring warranties in Ireland.

    It's a very strange thing to do. I wonder what their thinking is behind that decision.

    I'd say nobody buying from them. We are not a big country so limited market and then nobody here ever recommends them, they always recommend a German store.

    I purchased a new graphics card from them a few weeks ago cause it was cheaper than other places. That's a shame as I was going to purchase something else later from them as well. Probably not enough buyers as was said.

    Dabs is going full stop, they're not just stopping selling to Ireland, the UK dabs site is gone as well.

    They're just running the one BT site now, but that doesn't deliver to Ireland.

    Used them a few times but since I got a Business account set up for Amazon I haven't in awhile, would always look as the site was well curated and a nice range of stuff.

    Yes BT owns Dabs to probably just a rebrand and end of Dabs name.

    It's not really a re-branding, the BT store has always been there, the two existed side by side until now.

    You can't buy from Ireland anymore unless you're a business customer.
