No more free delivery in EU from Amazon UK :-(
« on: April 04, 2014, 10:24:43 AM »
I just got the message from Amazon UK that as of yesterday (April 3rd) they no longer offer Free Super Saver Delivery to Sweden. Apparently the same applies to all UK countries (outside of UK) that previously had that option. This means that the minimum delivery charge for me is now £5.40  :(

Well, there goes on of my main reasons for using Amazon UK. They are still nominally cheapest on most items, but they charge full Swedish VAT (25%) while smaller companies only charge UK Vat (19% ?). So I guess it's back to comparing all costs. It's possible that I will still go with Amazon. I really like that their shipments are trackable (hopefully at least that won't change), but it's not as given as it was before.

They charge you more than what they charge me to ship in Canada...

£3.08 and no taxes at all  ;D

Would be worth it to join Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime is only available within the UK, so not an option.
