Amazon customer service delivers yet another brilliant Northern Ireland Twitter moment

Twitter went into meltdown last weekend after a customer service tweet delivered a 'United Ireland' - and this week they haven't let us down.

A brilliant new exchange with a Northern Ireland twitter account occurred after they posted that the 'NI Executive have rewarded Amazon with a Christmas bonanza'.

Which led Tim to tweet...

It comes after a brilliant Twitter exchange from the account last weekend.

A reply from Amazon's customer service which implied Northern Ireland isn't part of the UK prompted some witty exchanges on the social media platform.

When Chris Jones queried why he wasn't able to watch Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage from his home in Northern Ireland, the response from Amazon's customer service team stated the reason he couldn't see it was because it was only available to those in the UK.

The tweet said: "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories. ^RS"

What followed that tweet was a series of funny reactions from Twitter users including Irish comedian Dara O'Briain who tweeted: "Amazon Prime have delivered a United Ireland, and before 6pm on the same day."
