Had a parcel put in a motel to be sent to me last Friday morning. It's status is still Customer Stored so it hasn't moved yet. Is this normal? I would have thought they would be quiter than ever with no uk parcels coming in.

I forgot Parcel Motel had stopped taking deliveries to re route them to the Republic. Item is due to arrive tomorrow evening. I wonder can I cancel it as I'm worried Parcel Motel won't send it back to Amazon. Any suggestions? It was a fire stick.

Amazon generally won't cancel after its sent, they ask you to refuse to accept the package. It's what you'll have to hope PM do. Although given no packages are going there it's most likely they have no one signing for them anymore.

See this post; they will refuse it, and it will be sent back to Amazon

Okay thanks. Hopefully PM refuse it so it goes back to Amazon and not missing. Is there anyway of getting a Amazon firestick delivered to the Republic anymore?

Don't you have to pay UK & Irish VAT when using addresspal?

Yes, plus the €6.50 they now charge for the delivery. AP is not viable unless it's something you really want and can't get by any other means.

Just get it sent directly by Amazon - you will just pay Irish VAT if it’s below €150.

Would love to know how people are getting fire sticks direct. Last time I looked they don't ship here.

Try again or post a link to what you're looking at. I checked on mine and it's still available with free delivery here.

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone was able to order direct from Amazon? Amazon uk won’t even give me the option to add the Firestick to my basket.
Just this message
“ This product only ships to the United Kingdom. Most content and services will not work if your country of residence is not the UK. Learn more about international use”
Amazon Germany and Spain are the same-they only post within the own countries when it comes to the Fire Stick 4k.
Any advice would be appreciated ðŸ‘

It lets you add it. That message seems bugged on the firestick. Have ordered one myself but have gotten the message and just ignored it.

I just added the 4k firestick without issue. If you are buying one though it's best to wait for prime day, in a few weeks.

Advertising your business here is not allowed. Outright facilitation of smuggling is also not going to be allowed. Lots of posts deleted for quoting stuff and thread closed.
