Asda Delivery in Ireland

Asda - the UK based shop owned by Wal-Mart - was rumoured to be buying Dunnes Stores in Ireland in late 2008. Asda.ie is not an active web site at the moment - but Irish residents can get some goods delivered here direct from the Asda Uk Site.

At the moment it is just the entertainment stuff like Video Games , Books Cds and DVds that Asda will let Irish customers order online. (Of course Asda will deliver everything to Northern Ireland including groceries.  ) There are rumours that Asda may be doing deliveries of groceries  to Ireland in the future - the differences in duty should  prevent them from delivering Alcohol though.

Visit the Asda Web Site here - and see the bargains they have.

(April 2009) Asda are not doing grocery deliveries to Ireland  (yet) - but there is a  company called Recession Bus tours who apparently will deliver your Asda orders to addresses in all areas of Co. Dublin and "surrounding areas " for €25. (on top of the Asda delivery fee) You have to ask Asda to drop it of at a Lisburn location and then this third party deliver it on to you. It remains to be seen  if  Asda will continue to allow customers in Ireland to get deliveries via a third party . (Tesco and Sainsburys are not allowing it). (PS- Note - It is probably classed as smuggling if anyone orders alcohol or tobbacco in this way.)

Weird Tales Of The Ramones’, a three-CD/ one-DVD package featuring an amazing comic book. Drawn from 16 action-packed albums, the 85 tracks on ‘Weird Tales Of The Ramones’s three CDs tell the whole musical story- from 1976’s ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ to 1996’s ‘R.A.M.O.N.E.S’. The DVD gives fans the complete Ramones music video collection- ‘Lifestyles Of The Ramones’, making its digital debut, consists of all of the Ramones Sire Records videos laced together with interview footage and other interstitial material. Also included on the DVD are all six of the videos the band made while on the Radioactive record label.
How much would you pay now? But wait! There’s more! While all of those Ramones songs and videos should be enough to make anybody happy, the super cool thing about ‘Weird Tales Of The Ramones’ is the book that comes in the box. A groundbreaking band deserves something special, and this book is unlike any ever created for a music box set

Amazon for Ireland

Amazon is probably the biggest bookseller in the world . The Amazon.ie  site redirects you to Amazon UK - and they deliver books cds and dvds to  Ireland  (Cheaper than some Irish based online bookshops)

Amazon.ie  Irish Customers Visit Amazon Here

Books delivered to Ireland cost £3.99  ( approx €6 euro) per order plus £0.99 per item (approx €1.50 euro). An order of 4 books would cost about €12 to deliver here - but the savings you can make compared to Easons or Reads can be fairly large - even on Irish books!
Cds and DVds cost less to deliver - just  £1.49 per delivery and    £0.39 for each item.
Airmail delivery time to Ireland is listed by Amazon as  3-5 days, so if you order an item that is in stock you should receive it 4-6 days after placing your order. To get orders delivered to Iris addresses by Christmas you should probably be placing your orders on or before 15th December 2007

I did a quick price comparison today - in advance of the upcoming Christmas shopping rush and was quite surprised at what I found.

I found that buying books online in Ireland  can  works out cheaper on Amazon UK than on Easons online shop.
Delivery charges within Ireland from Easons - surprisingly cost more than Amazon UK.
Three books from Easons would cost €13.50 for postage - the same 3 books would be delivered by Amazon to Ireland for £6.94 GBP  - which is about €10.50 euro. (Easons do have a max delivery charge of €21.)

A quick random price comparison of  3  popular books on Amazon and Easons websites  uncovered the following:

Anne Enright - The Gathering €14.99 Easons ; Amazon price £6.49 (€9.75)

Guinness Book of World Records Amazon Price £9.00 (€13.50)    Easons €19.99

Making Money - Terry Pratchett: Amazon UK price £9.49 (€14.25)  Easons - €14.42

 

Every book chosen (at random) - was cheaper on Amazon. Buying 3the books at Easons online with delivery to Ireland would cost you about €17 euro more than buying them from Amazon.

Breakdown of Delivery Charges:

Easons charge €6.50 for the 1st book and €3.50 per book after that (max €21)

Amazon UK charge £3.99 per order of books and £0.99 per book in the order.

TIP: If you live in a rural area and the Tesco registration system says it can’t find your address  don’t worry it doesn’t mean that you can’t register. Just - make sure you enter something in the "house no/name" box (even if you don’t have one) -  you should then be asked to confirm your location on a map. Click the "Find on Map" button. Once you locate your road or village on the map the system will confirm whether delivery to your house is possible.

Dublin , County Meath , County Louth, County Wicklow and County Kildare are fully covered by Tescos. Also - iIf you live within 20 miles of Limerick, Ennis, Galway, Cork or Carlow - you will also be able to get your groceries online from Tescos.
It can be a long process the first time you shop online for food - but the system stores what you buy - so the next time you shop it’s just a matter of ticking off a list of what you bought before. Most people buy the same stuff every week anyway. You can order loads of the heavy and bulky things like drinks and toilet rolls - and let the delivery people do the hard work. It’s well worth the delivery charge of less than 8 euro.
