Credit where credit is due
Ordered an item from Amazon on 19th May. Order was dispatched on 20th May and received by me here in Portugal on 22nd May, Great service by MRW as usual.

They've improved a lot in the last few years.
They now use GPS, and add their customers to them, sharing the data between their divers.
They now find my addressless no name road every time.
Almost.

Amazon never stopped delivering to Portugal. They stopped FREE deliveries, but I don't find their charges unreasonable.

Re: Credit where credit is due
I bought a 2nd hand car last week and discovered a few minor defects in the first few days. Re-read the handing-over documents and the 1 year guarantee and suspected that a) none of the faults would be covered and b) that fixing them would cost a packet.
How wrong I was - they were dealt with immediately, for nothing and without question by the stand. Thank you Stock Car (Braga).

I see amazon.ge is now in English and was just as surprised with the quick delivery. Redcoon.pt delivers the next day if you order early enough.

Re: Credit where credit is due
Providing it is in stock in either country the item you want will certainly be cheaper and delivery well under half compared when buying from Amazon UK.
The parcel was delivered by Portugal Post even though the seller stated DHL
I recently bought a desk top computer from a German supplier, three days delivery and only Euros 7.50. The Windows 8.1 came in English, German, French & Spanish. No problem as I already had a UK keyboard.
