Eth Nick Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 just trying to place an order with AMAZON UK - during the ordering process, the amounts are displayed re VAT removed. However, on the last page of the ordering (before submitting) - the amounts have returned BACK to their'published' normal pre VAT amount. Has anyone else encountered this today ?? Just tested this & it was ok for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if there is a bug in their site - dare I send an email to customer service to get some gooblygook back from their Indian call centre. (have to check this when I get home as well !) Yeap I've encountered the same problem several time especially when the system stops you from ordering some titles for unknown reason (eg, when i tried to order B:LA). Just go ahead, prices will be adjusted accordingly in the confirm email. You can always cancel the order if prices are not adjusted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted - Amazon UK is giving you 'advice' re this title Anyway - ordered my stuff - and the prices adjusted in the email / order history - 'strange' that they have this 'bug' in their final page order film.

countryslicker Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 My experience has been very positive. Ordered one Blu-Ray title on Sunday 24th July, arrived Tuesday 2nd August. Zero VAT on email order confirmation and on printed invoice in package. Much better than expected - certainly cheaper and faster than ordering from Amazon US.

achjimmy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi all I ordered some books and movies in July. The order was despatch in two shipments by Amazon UK. We recieved the Deutsche Post last week but the Royal mail shipment hasn't turned up. The paperwork with the Deutsche Post order said "this completes your order" am I looking at a lost order you think? Never had a Royal Mail delivery take this long.

If longer than 3 weeks since Royal Mail shipped then likely it is lost. You can claim after the estimated delivery date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanD1503559705 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Order of 2 items shipped 28 Jul 2011 via Royal Mail - estimated delivery 18 Aug - actual delivery 19 Aug = 21 days. Order of 2 items shipped 2 Aug 2011 via Royal Mail - estimated delivery 22 Aug - actual delivery 12 Aug = 10 days. So sad that Royal Mail has gone from 4 days delivery to 10-21 days.

Eth Nick Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 So sad that Royal Mail has gone from 4 days delivery to 10-21 days. How many times have you received items in 4 days??? Surely not regularly enough to consider it "normal". 8-11 days has been average for me. Happy with that, especially if it continues with free shipping.

AndrewW Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 amazon is equal or better than most and with free delivery and Tax removed it provides great value and it seems to currently be consistently cheaper than Amazon US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanD1503559705 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've just noticed a few titles have gone out of stock, with a 1-2 month delivery time. I understand that the recent UK riots destroyed a warehouse that many distributors used to hold stock and I wonder if this is the beginning of a temporary scarcity for some titles. Shipping seems to be a lottery at the moment: some getting good durations and others lousy. The price of some titles has recently jumped and it doesn't help that the exchange rate deteriorated.
