British Expats in Spain - Use Amazon.co.uk/com or Amazon.es?

ClarkeKent

Question for any Brit expats living in Spain or Europe:

Just doing some research for my parents who are moving to Spain, they have always bought lots of stuff from Amazon.co.uk - and hope to continue using Amazon

With over 3m brits living in Spain, and Amazon being the #1 site in the world.

Just wondering whether they use Amazon UK, com (US) or Spain.(es)?

I assume if it is the Spanish website option tthat people use Google Translate extension or similar to translate the site into Spanish.

Because although they have lived there for years they can't be bothered learning the language

So true and unlike with the Spanish people it is no good raising your voice or typing in capitals to try and make yourself understood on the Amazon Spanish website:rotfl:

So is it saying that people need it in Google Spanish and not 'real' Spanish?

Just trying to establish which of the 3 Amazon sites British people in Spain genrally use.

If they don't speak fluent Spanish, do they use a Google Translate plugin in Chrome to access the Amazon.es site or any other Spanish only sites they access.

Not an attack on Brits in Spain and whether they can speak Spanish or not, just a question on where they shop on Amazon.

If you read the OP, you'll find they are saying they will translate the SPANISH Amazon site into SPANISH on google... it was a minor, quirky, error.

OP, I'd say Spanish Amazon - If they use the UK version, they likely have to pay more in shipping costs. (I would assume on the Spanish site, things come from Spain)

Google Translate extension (Chrome extension)

I know many people that look at different European Amazon sites to compare prices, British included. Just click the Amazon International box and you can see. If Amazon don't deliver a certain item to Spain, there are other ways
Good luck
