Amazon Tricks guide discussion

I managed it by just doing the normal search and then adding '&pct-off=75-99' to the end of the url details. It seemed to work ok.

Hi, I would be interested in that too.

Another tip for getting things cheaply at Amazon is to buy vouchers on ebay. I did this for my Christmas shop in 2008 but wasn't organised enough in 2009!

I knew I wanted to buy over £100 worth of stuff off Amazon, so I bought a £100 Amazon voucher off ebay for £88. Instant 12% Amazon saving, plus I was able to use Quidco on the ebay voucher purchase

Smaller vouchers come up on ebay too; vouchers usually make 80-90% of their face value so expect to save ~10-20% by doing this.

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.

i'm in the UK but that is something i most definitely would like to - if i search for summit and amazon aint got it i dont wanna know - i dont want to deal with marketplace sellers and their extra p+p charges, miniscule wty/gtee periods and shoddy returns policies - if i wanted that kind of headache i'd go find my goods on fleebay

I am sure you can. I have used 4 before when only 2 things in basket. You just keep clicking on the gift cert button and adding the numbers.

Hope this helps.

You can actually go on and add them to your account and they sit as a credit. They are then used before any other payment method as the default.

I am trying to find discounts in order to buy a western digital external hard drive. Unfortunatley every time I try it it comes back with no results. What am I doing wrong?

Hi

Just wanted to say that I used the Amazon Prime free trial before Christmas but forgot to cancel it so they charged me £49 (you can see why i need this site!) I phoned Amazon up & they refunded me straight away as I hadn't used the service since the trial ended. So don't panic if you do forget to cancel!

Also I found that it's not necessarliy quicker than normal delivery as if you're not in when they try to deliver you have to rearrange delivery, whereas with royal mail you can collect at the post office

If you choose to only show items with free super saver delivery it should weed out most of the non Amazon items as I think that only items actually sold by Amazon themselves offer this delivery option.

This doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Some marketplace sellers have free delivery and this is included when you choose to only show items with free super saver delivery.

I've discovered that the string 'A3P5ROKL5A1OLE' has something to do with restricting to only showing items sold by amazon.

When you view this item here: http://amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001DZMLTO/ it shows as a marketplace seller, when you add ?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE to the end of the url it shows Amazon as the seller.

haven't worked out how to include it in a search yet though
