Hi, yes you can, Amazon.es will use your UK login and deliver wherever you tell them.

We bought several items from Amazon.

You can buy from any of the Amazons. .co.uk - .es .- .de etc etc.

If you buy from the uk one they will charge Spanish VAT and there may be customs duty to pay when you receive it. Buy from one of the EU ones and the VAT is from the country you buy it from and no customs duty to pay. 

Delivery costs from UK may also be higher but they add it on to the price. You can't use Amazon Prime UK in Spain for deliveries.

If you see something you want, try the Spanish one and then the German, Irish, French or whatever. 

You just need the address you want it delivered to added to the deliveries and you can also pay with any Mastercard or Visa on any of the sites. Your username and password will be the same for all sites.

Spanish one will deliver to your home, a collection address or an Amazon collection point near where you live. There are several of these hubs in the area provided the package is not too big.

Hello

 Not sure where you are staying but an Amazon.es  hub that I have used is  nr the Torreblanca branch of Mercadona on Calle Triton. 

Opposite Mercadonas doors is a walk through alleyway with a  half a dozen shops - one is Scandinavian Computers & they are the hub store for Amazon.

Here is  their website...https://www.facebook.com/scandinaviancomputers/?locale=es_ES

Hi 

There are Amazon lockers in Habaneras centre.

For others, search for "Amazon locker" in Google maps.

Be sure to use Amazon.es

Cheers 

Steve

Hello

 Oh that's great, you couldn't be much closer. When I passed on Monday the quick cut through across the waste ground was being fenced off so you now have to walk round that area to  get to the shops.

Open your Amazon app and go to settings. You can then change the country from UK to Spain. All the product information will be in Spanish. If you can’t speak Spanish most free translation apps will easily translate the information that you require. The shopping method wthen be the same as the UK.
