TS79 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Never had a problem with books or DVD's from Amazon UK. Received my last 3 books from Amazon 4 weeks ago. Perhaps Amazon.de has different rules Edited November 15, 2012 by TS79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muratremix Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Amazon ships dvds and books internationally. They never ship electronics or lets say, most of the items other than books and dvds to out of USA/CANADA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Tried to order from Amazon.com too and was rejected (see photo). Just a book. Nothing else. :/ Confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Just changed the address to a P.O Box i have. Same problem. Wont accept the shipping address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ok..i just changed the order for a test. Amazon WILL ship some stickers to me (if i wanted them), but not the book. Guess it was the book. Its one of those self-help type books lol (yes, strange creature that i am.. i actually decided to by a self-help book! - first time ok!) Guess Amazon thinks i dont need it, and tshirt transfer stickers would be a much better option for me.... hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Could be wrong but I suspect this has to do with Thailands failure to join up to international anti-money laundering efforts, expect overseas bank transfers to become more difficult also until legilslation is passed.

eek Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sorry about so many posts... I did a bit of research and what it boils down to is USED BOOKS Amazon wont let me purchase a used book..something about rights and violations. Just purchase the same book but NEW. ....hope that helps someone at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Are you sure that it's Amazon that's selling the book rather than some other seller using the Amazon Marketplace to sell it? If it's a used book I suspect it may not be Amazon who's selling it. All of the sellers who use Amazon Marketplace have different shipping criteria.

eek Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ahh..could have been endure. That would make sense. Tbh, first time ive ordered from Amazon since being in Thailand, and i never really ordered much from it, if ever, before. Well...issue solved. Book is on its way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LomSak27 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The used books are sold buy independent bookstores, amazon just provides the conduit ... Ihad to have some that I bought brought by family members on vacation (3rd country) where I got them and took them back. You can have family members or friends sned them to you - just more cost and more aggravation good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
