Switching to Amazon Ireland: Everything You Need to Know

Image
Thinking about switching from Amazon UK to Amazon Ireland? Here’s what you need to know first. You’re not alone. Since Amazon launched its Irish site, a lot of people have been wondering if it’s actually worth making the move. The short answer? It depends on what you buy, how often you order, and what matters most to you, price, delivery speed, or product choice. In this post, I’ll break down the real differences between Amazon UK and Amazon Ireland, what’s improved, what hasn’t, and how it might affect your day-to-day shopping. Irish shopping update June 1st: If you are comparing Amazon Ireland, Amazon UK and other online sellers, it is also worth understanding the new €3 import charge coming from 1 July 2026 for many low-value goods shipped from outside the EU.

Is Amazon Prime Worth It in Ireland – or the UK? Short answer: Yes, for most people, it is. But it depends on how you shop, how often you order, and what you actually use. I’ve been using Amazon Prime through the UK site for years from Ireland, and I’ve seen both sides of it. When it’s good, it’s very good, fast delivery, easy returns, and access to deals that non-Prime users don’t always see. But there are also a few things worth knowing before you sign up, especially if you’re based in Ireland. Update June 2026, another new cost to keep in mind: Amazon Prime value depends partly on what you buy, how often you order, and where those items are shipped from. I’ve also written about the new €3 import charge coming from 1 July 2026 and how it may affect Irish online shoppers buying from outside the EU: New €3 Import Charge for Irish Online Shoppers from 1 July 2026 .
