Weak Pound means Bargains for Irish Online Shoppers

November 13th, 2008 by Discount Alert | No Comments | Filed in Best Buys, Christmas Shopping, Delivery to Ireland, Exchange Rate, bargain alert

The weakness of Sterling against the Euro continues. Today it fell to 84.7 pence against the Euro - the lowest since the introduction of the Euro. A pound is now worth about €1.19 on the currency markets. This is good news for online shoppers in Ireland buying from UK based shops that deliver to Ireland.
In September 2007 the Pound was worth about €1.50 euro . An item priced at  £100 GBP  would have cost €150 Euro. Now the conversion rate means the same item would only costs Irish purchasers about €120. Even with delivery charges from the UK - online prices are still good compared to Irish “high street” shops. You can use your Irish credit card to purchase goods in Sterling  - with no problems.

Maplin sell thousands of electronic products from cables, connectors and components to disco, HiFi, computers and GPS equipment. Maplins have a few shops in Ireland - but no Maplin.ie or Maplins.ie web sites.

Not to worry - Irish residents can get those great prices here at the UK Maplin site
Delivery charges to Ireland aren’t listed - but we were charged just £7.25 for an order of 6 bulky items.
very charges per order. You can pay with Paypal as well as credit cards. The prices are in sterling - but with the current exchange rates it will usually work out cheaper than buying in a Maplin in Ireland.
Northern Ireland and UK delivery is free on online orders over £35 .
