Amazon delivery to NI

Has anyone else noticed that if you use Amazon's free delivery the item is usually delivered the next day? I have had a few items delivered recently and have opted for the free option rather than the added cost "next day" option. In all cases the items were delivered the next day.

    As this is a moneysaving website just pointing it out to other users. ;)

    just a bit of banter Holiday, I'm sure no harm was meant.

    ....regards the free delivery option turning up the next day, do you think its likely the item is stored here and not from GB?

    No, the tracking usually shows it coming from England/Wales. Maybe it is the most cost-effective way for them, thankfully.

  • For me, while it might be delivered next day, it very often isn't dispatched for 3-4 days, so usually takes a lot longer!

    And despatch / delivery can be very unreliable around busy times especially Christmas so don't count on this happening then.

    Where possible i always shop with Amazon, they're free delivery to here puts the likes of Ebuyer & Scan to shame (mainland free del & usually £12ish here).......
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!

    prices may be dear for delivery but they offer some cracking deals :) also ebuyer & scan are mainly computer specialist websites not your everyday shopping website
