Amazon Free Delivery to Ireland

There is still not an Amazon.ie website or “Amazon Ireland” online store yet. The size of the market here in the Republic of Ireland might not be big enough to justify a separate website.

The Amazon UK site has provided a good service to online shoppers in Ireland for several years – and that has continued since Brexit.

Online shopping at Amazon became even more popular in Ireland during the coronavirus pandemic as more people moved away from buying in-store and used online shopping instead.

The likelihood of Amazon setting up a separate Amazon site for Ireland was increased when they opened opening of a new warehouse at Baldonnell Business Park, Dublin. This fulfilment centre was opened in early August 2022 which means that Amazon can now deliver thousands of items to Prime members with next-day delivery in Ireland.

Amazon Currency Conversion

Tip –  Don’t let Amazon UK convert the Sterling price to Euros if you are in Ireland.

Amazon in Ireland

Amazon started as just an online bookshop in the USA – but has expanded into a “one-stop” worldwide online shop for almost everything –  from books to budgie food, CDs to Cameras, Ipods to Ink, Toys to Televisions. Their Echo devices with their “Alexa” assistant are very popular .

Amazon has a fairly large physical presence in Ireland with bases in Dublin where they have an IT centre and in Cork  – where they have a call centre. Amazon provides jobs for hundreds of people in Ireland – so when you buy from Amazon – at least some of the money is staying in the Irish economy. They also pay VAT to Ireland on all Irish sales.


Will There Be an Amazon.ie Store?

Amazon recently opened a new massive warehouse at Mountpark Logistics, Baldonnell Business Park, Dublin . This is a fulfilment centre that stores millions of items for delivery in Ireland and Northern Ireland and the rest of Europe. So most orders will no longer have to be sent directly to Irish customers from the UK and this means they can avoid possible customs delays.
So – maybe, it might not be too long until we get our own Amazon.ie?


Money-Saving Tip

If you shop a lot online at Amazon and other UK online shops – it might also be worth your while to sign up for an account at the online bank  N26
Their debit cards have no fees for spending in foreign currencies.
Revolut also has low or zero fees for foreign spending.


Some Irish banks charge as much as 2% on card purchases made outside the Eurozone. If you were to spend the equivalent of €2000 on UK shopping sites in a year – that would cost you an extra €40 in bank charges but nothing with N26!
