    Has anyone bought anything online through Amazon?
    I'm just wondering which works out cheapest ordering from Amazon.com (USA) or amazon.co.uk , the postage is going to be more from the US but the exchange rate of Euro against sterling isn't great.......anyone been down this road already?

    Hi Anony,

    Ive bought a fair amount of stuff through Amazon.co.uk and I generally find them to be fairly good value and quick too. The Euro is quite weak against Sterling but its not exactly strong against the dollar either. The extra postal charges and the extra length of time you have to wait makes the co.uk version better for me anyway.

    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

    Pete Reed

    hey dude, just to let you know, the European Amazons (eg - amazon.de the geman one) can be very slow in sending gear to ireland.
