And a small European country like Ireland doesn't get its own Amazon store so they have to rely on Amazon.co.uk, where everything is priced in Sterling (not Euro). Irish customers can't avail of Amazon Prime, shipping times take longer etc. A federated Amazon.eu with a continent-wide distribution network may help. Goods priced in Euro certainly would.
- ricardonunez 10y agoDid you try Amazon.de and switch language to English? I'm just wondering.
- dx034 10y agoI guess that different articles and longer delivery times than amazon.co.uk are a reason to prefer the UK version.

- secfirstmd 10y agoYeh it's a joke seeing as they are based here. And so many of us have to use Parcel Motel service to send things to Northern Ireland and have it driven down. Surely Amazon can make a little extra margin by doing that itself.
