    My latest chat escapade has them promising it will be shipped by the 30th. My agent disconnected, got shifty with me when I said 'hello' and forced her return and then asked if I had any other issue for her to deal with today, completely ignoring the fact that we hadn't resolved this issue yet. I just left as it was getting frustrating but I'll go back on June 30th when my order is inevitably not shipped as it's almost amusing seeing what they come back with. Amazon of old would have offered a £5 credit or something at this point.

    This always makes me laugh. When the ask is there anything else they can help with. When they haven’t even dealt with the first problem

    Guys,
    Not sure this is the right place or not, but for those that have prime solely for the purpose of purchasing, especially items that come in under the €22 or whatever it is. What do you plan on doing when July 1st comes along? Would it be worth keeping the prime account? Or close it and get one in Germany or somewhere within the EU ?

    With free delivery, as opposed to €7ish from Europe, it's still better value if you do random off the cuff purchases rather than planning your buys.

    If you had Prime last year, then the only difference is that some items over €150 will be eligible for customs duty. Besides that, nothing is different.

    We regularly watch prime video, so that and free delivery is like a 2 for 1. My membership will remain either way, but it won't stop me telling amazon support otherwise to try and get some free months.

    Re: 96 bottles hand sanitizer. Amazon have been telling people it wouldn't be available until 2 August which is a lie as the seller, Peppy, has already told me by email that they have stock. Im just after checking the product on Amazon and I see the date has now been pushed out to 21 August.

    I have Prime Video but very little seems to be available to me. Most of the stuff I want to watch “Not available in your region”.

    Also Prime Music. I'd imagine it's a much smaller library compared to Spotify, etc., but they advertise it as 2m tracks, so there should be plenty for most people there.

    I have the same when on PC or laptop. No issues whatsoever on an Amazon Fire.

    The problem with that I suspect is that you will loose your pictures or at the very least have to download them all if you stop paying for Prime.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    2m comes free with Prime, for the 70m you have to pay extra, €7.99 a month I think .

    Is it just me or is the VAT not being taken off anymore?

    I was hoping for a few sneaky last minute orders!!

    Is it a case of buying an item and getting the VAT back later?

    Confused here, what are customs having a problem with? Surely if we are paying the 23% vat, what's the ****ing issue so to speak.

    I think its actually great that people are starting question why it is we are paying tax after tax.

    Anything outside the EU attracts duty etc along with VAT.

    Confused about what exactly? Customs is due on imports over a certain value from outside the EU. The UK has left the EU. If you don't want to pay customs buy from the EU sites.
