Yeah they reduce to £10 for me (which would be a correct reduction for something that's £12 with UK VAT)

Sorry yes £10, I think it's reducing to £9 for me as I get a further discount with Student Prime.

Did you order them together or separately?

Doesn't make a difference if they're being sent together and are over €22..

.. I've done it numerous times in the past 2 months!

My wife ordered 6 jars of coffee from Amazon over the weekend but the VAT didnt reduce. She did get 10% off with S&S but Im puzzled about the VAT.

Would it be a case that coffee has zero rate?

Yes. Coffee is VAT exempt in both countries.

Biggest pain in the ass is attempting to find something that you can use it on.. i.e "sold by Amazon", not just "sold by Marketplace Seller, Fulfilled by Amazon".

Edit: Shows as "currently unavailable" now.

What? Thought they were going against austerity this time?

When I click on the shower gel link posted by caranica its showing up as unavailable. However I ordered these at the weekend with S&S and got delivery this morning and when I clicked through to cancel the S&S and proceeded to the product its still showing as available with the price now £2.40. I refreshed the page several times but still showing as available.

So I have 2 tabs open - one says its available and the other says it's not. Very strange.

Does one have 6 of them and its unavailable, and the other has a single unit?
