  • Although some of the deals look like big savings there arent that many. This isnt as good as martin makes out. The video games section for example, the only games selling at discounted prices are ones that are over a year old and are selling for that price elsewhere too. The books are the same, with most of them quite old(although i'm sure that wouldnt stop you enjoying them) they arent discounted. I love amazon but id rather search the normal way so i can choose if the extra price is worth the added quality. Theres no point in going cheap if it wont last.
  • Has anyone here signed up to Amazon Prime trial before? I'm going to sign up so I can get my stuff delivered tomorrow at no extra charge. I just want to make sure that they don't charge you £47 and then give it back if you don't continue the service.

    Can somebody just confirm (from their experience) that they don't take any payment upfront. I'm just being very careful as I can't afford to pay £47 now, even if I will get it back once I've cancelled.

    I'd appreciate a sreply ASAP! Thanks!

    You sign up with no charge and agree to be charged after a month if you don't cancel. You can cancel straight away online, and you still get the full month of next day free delivery. Best to wait until you need lots of quick deliveries, as you can only do the trial month once (per account).

  • Hi everyone, my first post, though a regular reader in Dublin.
    Is there any way you can filter the search to items that are supplied directly from Amazon? Most of the 3rd party sellers won't ship to Ireland, very frustrating when you think you've found a great bargain.
    Tia :)

    Yes, usually once your in a specific area searching you can search by seller - but only once you get down to a departmental level in your search.
