[dodo]

Any good shops that sell good quality raido, Roberts I know is good,what other makes are top quality

I am looking to purchase a good quality radio like a Roberts in a red color. The standard Roberts radio I can't get in red
If i order from UK i get caught with added VAT,tax so need to avoid that.

Arnotts and BT both stock a range of radios (including Roberts).

Re: ordering from the UK... Is this not it?

No extra to order that bar the slight increase from 20% to 23% VAT making it £204.99. If you have Prime, you'd have it by Sunday.

I presume you know that DAB is discontinued in Ireland?

Thank you for that, battery went completely flat in the car the other week so lost all radio stations on the head unit
When looking for DAB stations up was coming "no signal" message, so now I know the reason why

FWIW I order stuff from Amazon.de when necessary to avoid the hassle/expense of post-Brexit Amazon.co.uk. It's often a lot cheaper in many cases anyway. I built a gaming PC recently and it was a lot cheaper via Amazon.de than Amazon.co.uk or other online retailers.

+1 for Amazon.de although with electrical appliances you may need a plug adapter

Or just snip the plug off and wire an Irish one.

Not a good idea as it may invalidate any warranty with the item.

Most of these come with a separate lead, and changing the plug will not invalidate the warranty.

Any shops Dublin city sell Panasonic radios?

Perhaps try an Alexa echo dot. I use mine for radio and it’s great. Smashing sound from it. You can get the Irish stations and also bbc and classic fm. I do like classic fm.

A quick Google search for "Panasonic radios" should answer that for you

Even better use Hagglezon. It compares prices across several different Amazon websites in Europe, so you can pick the cheapest one. The shipping to Ireland from the France/Germany/Italy/Spain sites is usually more or less the same.
