1316027 2012-12-02 23:30:00 I have bought various items from eBay but haven't had any success buying from Amazon.
Whatever I try to buy, it always comes up with the red writing.
Amazon cannot ship to your location.
Have tried the international shipping with the same result.
I have opened an account & all my details re shipping address appear to be correct.
What am I doing wrong.

1316028 2012-12-02 23:46:00 Depends what your trying to buy. Books, CDs DVD and BD are fine some (very small amount) of hardware but generally Amazon will not ship outside the US things like TV etc.. paulw (1826)
1316029 2012-12-02 23:48:00 Have your tried using the Amazon International Shipping page?

1316030 2012-12-02 23:50:00 You will have better luck with amazon.co.uk, but still some items they will not ship. Alex B (15479)
1316031 2012-12-02 23:55:00 Currently I an trying to buy some replacement gel ear buds for a bluetooth headset.

Unless someone can point me to some in this country, I have to buy offshore.

1316032 2012-12-03 00:34:00 Depends on the item. Try this: www.nzpost.co.nz icow (15313)
1316033 2012-12-03 00:47:00 shipito.com ... open an account ($10) and it gives you a US address to send the goods to ... they then ship it to you. I use it quite often so if you need any help, PM me.

It will depend on what you are trying to purchase off Amazon ... I often get things that Amazon wont send directly because of certain restrictions ... weapons or pieces of, is a good example. Last time I bought a target trigger for a rifle, it was declared as a "machine part", NOT a rifle trigger ... all in the wording ... :D

1316034 2012-12-03 04:08:00 I guess those options would work but it's hardly worth doing unless I'm going to be buying a number of items.

Someone suggested gluing it in my ear, which would work, but then charging it would be a problem.

I find the gel buds go soft after a bit of use & won't secure the head set in my ear.
The loops that come with it get tangled up in my glasses.
I guess these things arn't designed for old farts to use.
