Amazon is one of the biggest and best-known online shopping websites in the world.
For many years there wasn’t a separate Amazon.ie website for Ireland , but Amazon finally opened its Amazon IE site on March 18th 2025.
It’s early days yet – but at first glance, the Amazon.ie site doesn’t seem to have nearly as many items available as the UK Amazon site – and the prices are generally more expensive on the Irish Amazon site compared to the UK site. (Even after currency and VAT differences are included).
Amazon Prime on the new Amazon IE site is €6.99 a month – you can get A Free 30 Day Trial Here.
- Free “standard” delivery is available on Amazon.ie for non-Amazon Prime members on orders above €25 and above €10 for books.
- Orders under €25 will be charged €3.99 for standard delivery on Amazon.ie .
- Priority delivery for non Amazon Prime members is €4.99 .
