Lightbulb Irish Online Shops

I do a lot of my shopping online - mainly for books, cds and dvds, but I also buy other stuff if and when I either spot something or have a requirement...

In any case I put this site online a while back to help people find shops and submit reviews of ones they've used:

That could be a very useful site when the word spreads and more sites get added.Its a bit thin at the moment I think.

Smile online shopping

Hi Blacknight
I am not sure if they are targeting the irish market but they do ship to ireland. alot of people I know use them, they are very cheap. SVP advertise in sterling,used to advertise in euro but exchange rate constantly changing so they stopped. They do have alot of payment options including Paypal, but delivery can be expensive, 10sterling so you are better off bulk buying to make a saving. they use a two day delivery through interlink not always reliable. again depending where you live. (interlink)
mx2 delivery is only 3 sterling but uses the postal service so delivery can be a while depending where you live. took 21 days for me on one order of ink before, but did get it.
Hope this answers your question
Best Regards John

Star Digi Online Shopping

Hi All

I was checking out this site and noticed the company is based in Hong Kong.

I wonder has anyone had any problems with the crackdown by Irish Revenue, as reported here, stopping parcels until Irsh VAT is paid. It is also reported that an Post also levy handling charges when this happens.

Great site Blacknight, nice design. I'd like to see a section for Fairtrade and/or Organic Shopping, I have a few sites I could submit for that section.
Happy Chrimbo,
Rachael

Great idea:

Armchair.ie - Irish Shopping Directory > Fair Trade - Irish Online Shops - Browse by category

Armchair.ie - Irish Shopping Directory > Food and Drink > Organic Food & Drink - Irish Online Shops - Browse by category
