Probably the battery in the hoover is what blocks it shipping I'd reckon. Addresspal or parcelwizard might be options.

address pal works as its mainland UK, PW is NI so has the same issue as sending here.

Some good discounts on Garmin Smartwatches. I'm looking at the Garmin Vivoactive 3 GPS for £180 v's Garmin Forerunner 735XT GPS for £190.
Looks like the 735XT has the bigger spec.

And how does that compare to the Fitbit Ionic for £239? I see some saying online that the app and details/info it displays are much better with Fitbit than with Garmin.

Where is that from ?

On Amazon....on the main page of the Black Friday deals, all the Garmins with discounts are grouped together

Yes same problem... anything about 50" is likely to be too large/heavy for AddressPal

I am after ordering a 50" from amazon the other day and should be getting delivered to the english AddressPal depot today. I think the package should be coming in just within the limits allowed. Any idea what will happen if it is too large?

is this one good? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-4000D-Camera-3-5-5-6-SanDisk/dp/B07HZQ5HK9?ref_=Oct_DLandingS_PC_f47f60b8_NA&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

I currently have a Canon IXUS 117

Would I see a difference?


Thanks

i think if its too large they just refuse it, ie if its outside their max parameters.

You'll see some difference in quality of course, but you'd probably want to be looking at another lens to get the best out of that camera.

Product photography is more about the setup, lighting, background than the camera. Depending on the products, you might consider investing in (or making) a lightbox.

Had PS4 Pro with Red Dead Redemption 2 bundle in my basket all morning and went to pull the trigger and it disappeared, only third party sellers available and a price hike!

Managed to order it at the original price from Amazon eventually but with delivery Dec 10th.

Really hoping they fulfil the order at the price when they get stock back and don't cancel the order, anyone experience this?

Just after getting an email from Addresspal there now and they have received the item and sending it on to me so it must fit within their limits. Cost €13 to get it shipped over which isnt bad. Still saving about €60 compared to the price of the tv in argos here in ireland

Quality ssd, bargain price

Hey was looking at SSD's also to upgrade the mac mini. Was looking at the crucial 250GB on sale here https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0764WCXCV/ . Would there be much of a difference / would it be worth paying the extra to go for the Samsung 500GB ? (to note use 2TB Time Capsule for storage purposes)

Are there any good bluetooth headphones on offer?
I want to replace my AKG Y50BT because on bluetooth I don't find they go loud enough. I bought them to blast loud music without annoying the neighbours and they aren't really doing it. Otherwise the quality is good.

How much did you pay for that? Much better value here at home in gamestop, Argos etc and you can pick them up today.

I don't understand how you can ask that question, and make that statement in the same breath?

if you dont need the extra 250gb then the mx500 250gb is perfectly fine. Plenty would argue the mx500 every bit as good/reliable as the samsung 860s.

Missed an Addresspal delivery this afternoon, thought there'd be a redirect option like with the normal post. Will it be Monday now for the second delivery attempt?

An Post (in Cork at least) deliver on Saturdays...

Also - Amazon don't seem to realise this, so they assume if it's 2 day delivery, and ordered on a Thursday that you'll get it Monday - you'll generally get it on the Saturday.

theres option to select in amazon account setting to not ship on sat/sundays or weekends, that helps when using pw to not miss delivery as amazon delivers even on sundays. and NI/UK post work normal on Saturdays with deliveries.

The reviews seem to be for the more expensive option -
m7, not the one in the directly linked. Quite sneaky of the seller.

Nope, that's just how Amazon works when there's a multi buy option..

You can filter the reviews to show reviews for the LC350 only.

+1 on this, certainty a better option than the old moto g4 (which was fine in its day around 3 years ago).

I just did a quick scan of the reviews & didn't spot lc350 reviews. I didn't look very hard in fairness!

Amazon.de usually kills you on the delivery charges though. Amazon.es can be good for electronics.

Picked up a Garmin Forerunner 235 for £149. I think that's a good deal. I've wanted one for ages, so I'm happy.

Must get one of those Revoult credit cards though, to save on the currency exchange fees.

Not reduced, but not expensive to begin. Has worked fine since August.

I’d buy it in a heartbeat if it had Spotify but just can’t justify it without it.

The one they do with Spotify is horrifically over priced. It’s 2018 ffs!

I cancelled my Anker Soundcore order. Great deal, but have no use for it and it's just pissing away for money for ****e I'll never use.
