Question discounted electrical goods

Is anyone aware of any outlets selling discounted electrical goods in the malaga,seville area? I have found that it is now much cheaper to buy things like TV's,hedge trimmers etc from amazon and have them delivered free,rather than pay the higher prices here,but i now need a fridgefreezer and will obviously need to buy here in Spain.
When i compared the prices in Carrafour,Eroski etc they are much higher than the UK,but i wonder if there are any wholesale/discount outlets here selling this sort of thing

I cant think of anything like that, but if you keep an eye on the TV there are sales advertised all the time


ooh - just thought of La Tienda En Casa

I don't know how prices compare to the UK.....& I'm not even sure if they do freezers ..but they do have pretty good offers on all kinds of household stuff

I checked prices online for a standard mid-range Indesit fridge freezer. In Spain it was €489 in Media Markt and €659 in Carrefour - big difference! In the UK the same model was £280 from Comet, including delivery (but only within the UK of course).

It pays to shop around I guess, but I've always found Media Markt to be competitive, especially at sale time.

There's a price comparison site here: Neveras precios, comentarios y especificaciones técnicas - ShopMania

BeeSmart and Si Hogar seem to be the main contenders.

Also, forgot to add-----has anyone any opinions of Dyson vacuum cleaners here? I live in a VERY dusty area here in Murcia plus have dog hairs to contend with, especially at moulting time.

We've had three and are not overly impressed. We've got a dog too.


About this 'free' delivery from Amazon.uk to Spain.....I want to buy a printer/scanner/copier and I found one on Amazon for £48 but the postage was £40+.
How do you guys get free postage? Is there a floor price, e.g. goods over £50?

The site I was looking at is actually a price comparison site but was interesting It's es.shoppydoo.com

I thought Amazon UK just did free deliveries in the UK----elsewhere you had to pay??

Don't know whether to press on with choosing a Dyson now!!!! A friend has one here and loves it!

Look for Free Super Saver delivery on Amazon, this usually only applies to purchases from them and not marketplace. The purchase also needs to be over £25 and there may be a few exclusions
