I have been using Amazon . co. uk to sent stuff to family in UK and .es or .de to buy things for delivery here.

I wonder if anyone has bought from .co.uk to be sent to Spain? I understand they remove the UK VAT and add Spanish IVA and customs charges onto the goods so you don't go through the rigmarole of doing all the paperwork yourself.

I have been trying to get a PC from them for delivery here and they see I need to identify myself with an NIF (same as our NIE) or a passport. I have tried to enter my NIE but it keeps coming up with not recognised character. I have tried just putting the numbers in without the X at the front and the letter at the back, or just the X at the front but still get the same message. 

I was going to try to do it with my passport number but wondered if anyone had done the same thing? I wouldn't want it to be rejected for the wrong info being a resident here. The PC is a lot cheaper from UK and also comes with a UK keyboard (it's for my wife) unlike the ones available on .es.

Anyone bought anything from .co.uk and either used the passport number or knows what bit of the NIE I should use?

Thanks in advance.

There have been a lot of posts on booking (or not being able to book) and ITV whilst the Valencia Region have been carrying out strikes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and no available appointments in between.

There has been a meeting between the Alicante province council and SITVAL (the company now running the ITVs in the Alicante Region) and no agreement was reached. They will continue their strikes and all ITV  stations will be closed in the Alicante province from next Monday to Thursday and, of course, they will be closed on the Friday as that is Good Friday. 

Wednesday 27th will see a march through Alicante in support of their claims for equal pay. Outside Alicante province, there will be a similar march in Valencia on the Monday so all ITV stations will be closed then.

During 25th to 28th, the stations in Alicante will be open to provide minimum services as laid down in their contract but will restrict inspections to emergency vehicles, ambulances and police, and then taxis buses and HGVs but will add those vehicles with expired or previously failed ITVs if they can be fitted in.

Alicante, Alcoy, Elche and Benidorm have already stated they have no appointments available now until June which have not yet been made available. 

Many people have been using the Murcia ITV stations which are still privately controlled and are fully valid now the emissions test has been removed in Valencia.

ETA Sorry I clicked is your post a question by mistake which it clearly isn't

I’m after a used outdoor pool table with slate bed and marine plywood construction in good condition. Ideally 7ft, but would consider 8ft or 9ft. Would need to be able to have it delivered to Ciudad Quesada area.

If any anyone knows of someone selling one (or a place that sells used tables that I can go and look at) it would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I'm looking for a mountain bike with 26" wheels. Medium to large frame (5' 11"). Front suspension only.

I'm going to call in at Decathalon to see if they have any 2nd bikes but thought I'd see if anyone had anything on the forum.

I'm in Rojales but can travel for the right bike.

Thank you

Hi all, I’m new to this forum, this question may have been asked many times, is there any public transport from Rojales/Quesada to Guardamar. 

All information will be appreciated 

Thanks

The B Driving Licence, which is what most have, currently allows you to drive a "turismo" up to 9 seats with a maximum weight of 3500 kg.

New proposals by the EU, which would affect drivers in Spain, would increase this to 4.250kg. This would mean you could drive a camper type vehicle with no additional licence and even things like the Hummer SUV would no longer require a truck licence to drive it.

Mainly brought about by the extra weight in EV SUV but would also mean the ICE campervans and motorhomes could be driven on your B licence.

Also note that the Spanish government has approved a fine of up to 500 euro if you do not carry your driving licence in the vehicle with you.
