Using UK Amazon account in Spain

I live in the UK but have a house here in Spain. I would like to either use my UK Amazon account to buy stuff here or set up a new account in Spain. I tried the latter, but I only have one UK mobile, that's the one associated with my UK account and Amazon won't let me have two accounts on one number. 

Does anyone have a solution to this? I don't want to get a Spanish mobile, ideally because I would never use it otherwise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't want to transfer the account. I live in the UK and use the account mostly there. I want to be be able to use the account in BOTH countries, but Amazon doesn't seem to let me.

You can simply use the Amazon.es site using your UK login and password. No need to change your location to Spain just keep it as UK. 

All you need to do is add your Spanish address, or a drop box, to your list of deliveries. Nothing else needs to change unless you want Amazon Prime and the UK one won't be valid in Spain. You'd have to set up an Amazon Prime Spain account but can still be paid by your uk account.

Nothing needs to change except the delivery address.

I have been living here for over 16 years and still use my uk login and password on the es site. I also have lodged another credit card (a Spanish one) to tie in with my Spanish address even though I could still use the UK one if I wanted but would be subject to currency changes.

Whether they will use your UK mobile to contact you or not I don't know but you can request notifications by email instead. 

I should add you can use any Amazon country for ordering simply using the uk login details. Germany, France, Italy and so on. Ordering from them means no customs or extra VAT charges if you have it delivered to the address you have registered in Spain. You can, of course, use the same sites from UK but would be subject to extra charges which Amazon shows you before they process the order.

My Amazon  accounts operate in exactly the way Marcliff has detailed.  

You can have Amazon accounts right across the globe, using the log in as detailed on Marcliff’s post.

As well as UK and Spain , Germany is a great option, (more choice than Spain) but I also use the main .com account (USA)  and also use the Australian site to send to family living there.

No need to be ungrateful only trying to help.
