*blink* I buy stuff from Amazon.co.uk all the time and I'm in the US. What is it refusing to sell you?

From:

The item is out of print, and none of the Marketplace sellers that have it will ship to the US.

From:

Oh, you poor bunny. *pats onna head* I haven't run into that one before. Heck, if the Marketplace people weren't sending things to me I'd be short at least a couple of dozen books!

Good luck finding someone who can help!

From:

It happens quite a bit with the DVDs and videos, which is what I'm buying lately. A couple of times I've had to pay more than I wanted because I had to keep working up the list of vendors until I found one that would ship to Cal. It's very frustrating.

From:

Maybe the difference is that I'm in Boston. Want me to give it a try?

It would be great if you'd be willing. I think the purchase from the site would come out to $25 or so. Here's the link:

Either of the first two vendors would be fine. (Third's too expensive.) Let me know if you succeed, and thanks for offering the attempt! I really appreciate it.

From:

Hmm. Won't send it to me either. It'll go to Germany though. And I've bought VHS and DVDs from the UK several times before.

From:

The Marketplace sellers have the option of choosing where they'll send stuff. Seems not many of them over there want to ship very far. Thanks for trying, though!

From:

Maybe they're worried that the dollar will drop again by the time they get paid.

If you like I can buy the item for you, but I'm in Italy and you will have to wait two times for the shipping to me and then to your home.

From:

I'm in the UK and could get it for you if you like.

From:

Thank you, hon, but

samena already got it for me. However, I will remember your offer, because this is not the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last! (Seems a lot of Amazon seller in the UK are not willing to ship their stuff very far.) So if you don't mind, I'll probably be calling on you in the future, if that's okay?

From:

Thank you, sweetie! I've found a couple of people who are closer to the UK who've offered to help. *hug*

From:

samena made the purchase for me, so it's all good. But I do want to thank you for being willing to help me out. It's a very frustrating situation!

From:

No problem :)

From:

And here I am, with a request! (Wasn't that fast?)

This may be more trouble than you're willing to go through, but I am brazen, so I will ask. :D

The item is not at Amazon, but over here: http://www.priceminister.co.uk/offer/buy/27289398/Saving-Milly.html

It's not expensive, but you would have to register and all that. Let me know if it's not too much hassle for you.

Cheers!

From:

I'm not familiar with the Company or the French laws I'd be agreeing to abide by so, if you don't mind, I'm going to ask a couple of friend who do more of the online buying/selling thing what they know about them before I decide to sign up to it. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

From:

Perfectly fine! I'd want to know all the ins and outs before I sign up, too. (If they shipped to the States, I wouldn't even be asking!) :)

From:

OK - the site checked out and I have registered and purchased the item. Let me have your address (ghyste at aol dot com) and once it's arrived and posted off I'll let you have the final cost and my paypal details. The site reckons about 5 days to get here but we are suffering from postal strikes at the moment so it might take a bit longer.
