This news is going to mean a lot more bargains for Irish online shoppers.
Amazon-UK have removed almost all restrictions on shipping goods to Ireland (April 2009).
Previously - Irish online shoppers could only get jealous and angry as they bought their books, cds and DVds on Amazon and saw all the other great prices on laptops, cameras, camcorders , satnav - ie. almost everything else they sell.
Well now - Irish shoppers (ie all of Western Europe) can get all items delivered to their door by Amazon. This is not an April fools joke - I have tried it and it is true. I ordered an Xbox Console , a Laptop, a Digital Camera all for delivery to the West of Ireland - and there was no problem getting through checkout. Usually you would be told at checkout that your items could not be delivered to your address. Not any more.
Get on to Amazon UK now to see all those great prices and a great selection too. Go easy on that credit card!!
See Full List of Amazon Shipping Rates Here
The prices shown on the Amazon UK include UK VAT (15%) .
Irish customers - correctly and legally - get charged Irish VAT (21.5%) . So just be aware of that when you notice a difference in the price at checkout.
If you want to work out a final price yourself - just add on 5.65 pence for every pound or £5.65 on every hundred pounds.
Note: Make sure the item you have selected is being sold by Amazon and not by one of their marketplace sellers. Many of the other sellers don’t deliver to Ireland
NB: Items Still not delivered to Ireland: (updated April 24th 2009)
Televisions and TV equipment
Mobile phones
Medicines, blank CDs and blank DVDs
Light bulbs
Childrens clothes , car seats, safety equipment
Magazine subscriptions and MP3 downloads.
There are also restrictions on weight - any item that is 30 kg or heavier, cannot be delivered outside mainland UK. (Will probably only apply to some fitness equipment or lawnmowers etc)
Zavvi UK - which also serves Irish customers have stopped taking orders for CDs DVDs and Games. This is hopefully a temporary measure - caused by the problems suppliers that are linked to Woolworths . Check Here at Zavvi to see if they have started selling again.
In the meantime Irish shoppers can get similar bargains on games , music and DVD at the following web sites.
Amazon Not Games
Fable 2 is one of the best selling XBox 360 games at the moment - but where is the cheapest place to buy it online with delivery to Ireland ?
On Nov 10th 2008 these were the best prices available on Fable2 for delivery in Ireland.
Asda came out as the lowest price at €43 delivered (£34.91 (free delivery )
Zavvi - Fable 2 £35 plus £4 delivery = £39 GBP or approx €47.65 Euro
The Hut Fable 2 €51.43 Euro including delivery
HMV : Fable 2 £39.99 plus £2.50 delivery = £42.49 or approx €53.90 Euro
Play.com Fable 2 €55.99 free delivery included
Asda was also the cheapest for Northern Ireland customers - because delivery there is Free - as it is with Zavvi and HMV.
Amazon was not included in the comparison because they don’t deliver games to Ireland.
CDWOW are having a 24 hour sale - with €2 euro knocked off everything. With some Cds only €5.99 and chart cds now at €10.99 delivery included.
To get these great prices visit the CD WoW web site and then click on the UK flag in the top right corner and change the country to Ireland. No discount for UK customers - just Ireland. Sale started today Nov 11th at 10 am and ends at the same time tomorrow 12th November 2008.
Walmart who own Asda in the UK - is rumoured to be looking at buying Dunnes Stores in Ireland.
Asda.ie redirects visitors to Walmart.com - but they don’t deliver to Ireland.
Asda have an excellent online shopping site though - so even if Asda don’t come to Ireland you can always do some shopping at Asda Entertainment. They sell DVDs Books and Games with delivery to Ireland. The prices can be very good at times. It isn’t obvious from the Asda site that they do deliver to Ireland - but they do. I have checked with customer support at Asda. They tols me that delivery to Ireland is £1.59 - but it doesn’t seem to be mentioned on the Asda website. Click below to see the great bargains on offer at Asda. Dunnes Stores don’t even do online shopping. Save yourself a journey to Northern Ireland and get the Sterling prices from the comfort of your chair.

If you were hoping to do some online shopping at Currys and you live in Ireland - then don’t bother.
Currys are another major retailer that currently don’t offer online shopping in Ireland.
If you live in Northern Ireland or elsewhere in the UK - you can shop online here at Currys UK site. Currys.ie web site is just a list of shop locations. Currys recently took over all the Dixons stores in Ireland - so don’t bother looking for Dixons.ie either - still no online shopping there either.
In ireland - Currys have shops in Dublin Galway Limerick Sligo , Navan, Letterkenny Dundalk and Cork. Maybe they will allow orders online in Ireland one day?
For online purchases of electricals in Ireland you should try Pixmania . Pixmania is the biggest European online electrical store and it is actually part of the same retail group as Currys , Dixons and PC World.
Pixmania Ireland will deliver to Ireland - everything from Digital Cameras to Dysons, from Tvs to Laptops, Toasters to Juicers, MP3 Players to XBox 360. Delivery prices are not over the top either.
If you are in Northern Ireland - use Pixmania UK.
HMV has no dedicated Hmv.ie site for it’s Irish customers - but that is not a problem because online shoppers in Ireland can use the main HMV.com site.
HMV sell a wide range of Cds, DVDs, TShirts , Video Games . Delivery to Ireland is £2.50 GBP - about €3.12 Euro per item. Amazon no longer deliver video games to Ireland - so the HMV website is a brilliant alternative and great for those of us living outside of Dublin, Cork, Limerick or Galway.
HMV’s online prices are sometimes cheaper than the Irish HMV shops even after delivery charges are included - and the Euro Sterling exchange rate is favourable for Irish shoppers just now. See the prices on HMV now.
If you don’t want to shop online from the comfort of your home (or workplace!) - you can visit any of the HMV shops in Ireland - at the following locations:
HMV, Pavillions Shopping Centre Swords, Dublin.
HMV, Blanchardstown Shopping Centre , Dublin.
HMV, The Square. Tallaght, Dublin.
HMV, Henry St., Dublin.
HMV, Grafton St. Dublin
HMV, Cruises St., Limerick.
HMV, Barrack Lane, 36 William St, Galway.
HMV, Patrick St., Cork.
