It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site?

posted 1 month ago

I found this aftershave I’d been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it’s apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn’t figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?

I think allowed shipping destinations are defined product by product. At least in the opposite direction it’s true, when I look at the US Amazon, some products are available for shipping to EU, some are not.

After some more trying (logging in with my email rather than my mobile #) it seems like it’s working now. I appreciate the encouragement, I was ready to give up!

Cost. That’s why a lot of places exclude Hawaii and Alaska. Shipping to those places is a lot more costly.

You can argue that the customer will pay for it, but with so much “free shipping” these days that doesn’t always work out.
