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?
It is possible to buy from other countries, I’ve done it before (not Belgian). I’m guessing Belgian isn’t part of the program. Do any near by countries also have the cream you want (Germany or France)?
They’ll be a shipping charge for sure, but sometimes you can get things alot cheaper over seas. I’ll buy multiple things in one go so the savings add up even with shipping.
You have watch the shipping cost at checkout as you go, one product can double the shipping cost for whatever reason. Avoid those ones if your goal is savings.
Perhaps the seller doesn’t ship overseas? I’m Belgian and I’ve got that with US shops sometimes.
This I never understood.
Amazon basically has an international presence. Amazon could easily allow a seller to ship to a local Amazon logistics location and then Amazon shipping could just handle the rest, perhaps with a slightly higher shipping fee.
Japanese Amazon is popular with people who want to import goods directly from Japan so I’d say this isn’t a universal thing
Does the aftershave contain alcohol? There are usually shipping restrictions on things like perfume because of this.
It does, I haven’t placed the order yet but I’ll check back in when/if I do with how it turns out.
