Amazon

Amazon are rolling out a new delivery service for prime members www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=pn_uk_surl_lp?node=6584642031 the video explains it, but the 2 hour part I like.

I'm looking forward to it ... They are in the process of opening a new depot in Carrickfergus (about 8 miles from Belfast) so it should be available to me soon.

The 2hr delivery would suit me just fine and it's free so bonus.

Problem is I don't like using my mobile to order things, prefer to use the home computer

I've just ordered a cuboid and wismec, and it's coming tmrw. This new thing isn't in my area yet but looking forward to it as I'm a prime member already.

I'm looking forward to when they start delivering with drones, how cool will that be

Just had a quick look on the app, does not carry much on vaping ie some liquids and coils so far.

Well, I suppose it'll cut down on postmen & couriers being bitten, but who will be paying for the replacement drones, and just think of all the insurance claims, on both sides.

Used it a few months ago to buy the kid some turtlebeach headphones. Got a tenner off when I used it and they got delivered an hour later from their Gateshead/Newcastle warehouse. If it's the same it adds a tip for the driver but you can cancel it off if you're a tight arse...yeah I cancelled it off

oh and and they get delivered in a brown Amazon paper bag instead of the usual box the size of a skip.

They have loads of vape gear at very competitive prices  ... within the last week I have ordered  a couple of istick pico kits and a dripbox 160 at not much more (and the case of the dripbox 160 less) than fasttech are looking. Plus you get next day delivery rather than waiting 3 - 4 weeks (even if they have it in stock).

Ordered a Coolfire IV Plus late on Sunday night (after I said I didn't need vaping anymore!) and chose the 'free shipping' option (I'm not a Prime customer) plus a cheapskate... their estimated delivery was Thurs-Sat, which was fine. Got an email this morning to say it was 'out for delivery' and by 6pm it was in my hands.

Is that with the Amazon now app or the Amazon site, as they are 2 separate things and Amazon.co.uk is pretty good for gear.

I have found that with the current Paypal £-$ exchange rate (1.27) there isn't a lot of difference between Fasttech's prices and Amazon although that will change in the near future when UK resellers are having to pay more for their goods from China ... but as the saying goes "make hay while the sun shines".

Amazon UK app and site ... sorry, I didn't realise you were talking about the now app.

[joeten]

Yeah, it seems to be lacking a little on the vaping front, hopefully it will improve.
The site is always well sorted for stuff.
