As I said earlier, postage is only €2.99 and an annual premium membership gives free, usually next day delivery on any sized order - even a €1 item.
Will take a look.

Kindles have always been a problem. Before they became available in Spain they could only be ordered in Spain through the US Amazon.com site.

That may well still be the case with Kindles ordered from Gibraltar.

Try ordering something basic.

Yes Fred I remember trying to order from the UK and being redirected to Amazon.com.
However I have again tried the UK and NOW they will deliver to Gib

My post 10 in this thread

So maybe things are begining to change, maybe downgrading Spain has helped Gib?

Now I really don't understand this. I just went into amazon.co.uk and looked for your item. I then asked for details of their super saver offer. I got;

Eligible European Destinations
(Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Finland, Gibraltar, Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden and Poland.)

All items except Gift Certificates and non-FBA marketplace items

£25


So, this shows that delivery for this item is FREE (or have I missed something?).

Ok. Perhaps it's because it's electrical? We have the same problems when trying to order computer parts - they simply won't ship to Spain no matter what.


It's a bit bad though that their help says they do ship, free to Gibralter yet in reality, they don't!

No problem. I have had loads of electrical goods and computer bits from Amazon UK. Last week I had a lawn mower and some hedge trimmers.

You just have to be careful to check that they come from Amazon and not one of their third party suppliers who mainly do not ship to Spain or if they do they charge higher postage prices.

It's very frustrating plowing through the catalogue to be stopped at the last fence.

Ebay is just as bad, a surprising number from the UK deliver to Europe and then lump Gib in with the likes of Nigeria, Somalia and Afghanistan etc. I suppose they all have Spanish directors
