I thought address pal etc were done and dusted?

nope, i've a coffee order on the way with addresspal. And they have valued it correctly, so the extra tenner i've to pay is (a?!) fine.

Could anyone with experience of the Philips Sonic Care toothbrushes give me an idea on which model would be the best to go for?
For effective features, most heads supplied etc

Just go for the cheapest, and wait for it to be discounted. The extra features are almost entirely **** or superfluous, and I say that as someone who's had a £30 one, a £60 one, and a £120 one.

Cheers, I'm waiting to see if it's on offer in a week or two.

Maybe they thought "Hmm, no one would order this many parcels from amazon".
Unfortunately for them it was the other 143 they should've checked

Ya, it really was! Most of my individual orders are grouped into the one package definitely worth more than €22.

I got those bath bombs, they ended up being €12.66 then got the €10 back. So 2.66

Why are amazon refunding import fees on orders. I'm getting quite a large refund on an nvme drive I bought which amounts to no vat paid? It's well over the exempt rate.

Item: WD_BLACK SN750 1TB High-Performance NVMe Internal Gaming SSD
Quantity: 1
ASIN: B07M64QXMN
Reason for refund: Export fee reduced

The following is the breakdown of your refund for this item:

Import Fee Deposit Refund: £20.12

It seems to be a glitch on their system. I have gotten over 1K refunds on my business account. It's VAT that I was going to claim from revenue anyway & I thought it was becaust it's a business account. But plenty of posters are getting full import fees on some items

Yeah, I'm up to about £80 back, which mean for those items I paid no VAT. I'll probably re-spend it with them anyway!

Buy lots from Amazon but not seen one refund!

Any ideas of the Prime Day offers yet?
Or what would they normally do for the Summer one.
It’s the 21st and 22nd.

Don't expect too much IMHO. I'm just hoping for some extra warehouse discounts.

A solid 30% in warehouse deal would be good, but last couple of timed warehouse deals haven't bee that generous or only covered a small amount of stock.

I'll still have a list of items ready to check on the day just in case.

That one doesn't appear to be in stock until June 18 (also the link above is dead) with delivery by 2nd July?!

this seems to be the active link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Canvas-Select-microSD-SDCS2/dp/B07ZG8W8B4/

For £9.57 you can get the same card but with the extra SD adaptor, and get it delivered in a few days

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07YGZ7JD5/

The URL for that one is a bit strange? Thats the second time its changed. I had it bookmarked before I posted it as a bargain alert and when I went to post it the bargain was gone (price had gone up) but when I searched for the specific item I found it again with the same bargain price.

Has there been any deals recently on Prime membership itself? I picked up a year at a discount two Black Fridays ago but there was none last year or since from what I've seen or maybe I missed it.

The other thing that makes me a bit doubtful of getting a full year of Prime is Brexit, do we fully know yet how Amazon UK /Prime will be affected or is it as now and the price you pay Amazon will always be the final price?

Arrived a while ago. First impressions vs my oral B..

- It's both a lot faster and a lot less hard on teeth even at max speed/deep clean settings. It actually feels nice on my teeth

- It's a lot quieter

- The timer/calendar in the app is handy. There was a firmware update for the brush on first connect that ran fine over the Bluetooth link

Got my 74p First Aid Kit. It is full, great bargain!

How much is prime membership? I got the student deal a couple of years ago (around €45 a year I think?) All I needed was a working college email, thankfully Trinity email address are for life

I am looking at a drone on Amazon UK.and if I add it to my cart I get a price of around 320 euro including 70 euro import deposit. At the price it's still cheaper than amazon Germany but are there other charges that will be levied on me by Irish Customs ? Thanks

What you pay at the checkout is what it costs you.

So long as it's Sold or Fulfilled by Amazon.

If they are getting import fee deposit added to the price, it will be properly taxed.

I don't even look at items not fulfilled by azon I forget you can buy from marketplace as well

Nivea Shower Gell seems to be gone. I tried putting in my basket half an hour ago but it never actually went it, then gave me an error message. Gone up in price now.
