I use Amazon prime Spain and always find it fantastic. No problems at all, good delivery and best prices.

Not surprising really. In the UK Prime is currently 79 pounds so Spain is still a lot cheaper even with the increase.

I heard that a price rise was coming to Belgium for Prime, recently, so I jumped in and took an annual subscription... Before it happened

However as EU delivery is free for a certain price threshold I shop around for stuff on various Amazon sites as they all accept my login details.

So I am not always using the Prime subscription that only applies to Belgium and France for me.

On Saturday I took delivery of a soundbar that was €100 cheaper from Amazon Netherlands, I've also bought stuff cheaper from Amazon Germany, Spain and Italy vs Amazon BE/FR. I also bought from the UK when I got a great price (for exactly the same product) - even with the postal costs.

Delivery is normally as quick as Prime.. or a day more. So Prime for me personally is more about the streaming video... But very handy for quick delivery of all items too....

A couple of websites that might help buying from a different country. Not comprehensive but an overview -

We recently bought a Rattan furniture terrace set (couch, chair, footstool and table) from a Spanish company Alice Gardens (www.alicesgarden.es) cheap (€650), delivery free. The quality was as you would expect for the price and the rattan was lightweight but speedy delivery and did the trick for now.
