If fact, I've used the Amazon checkout process to order stuff from other websites. I've got some replacement seatbelts coming from JC Whitney via Amazon, shipping direct to me.

It comes down to the reseller or the original company Jeff, I have had a PS4 sent to me and can't get a controller, camera or game. It's always been the same.

Thanks for the responses. I will try the various suggestions.
I'm going to the states in December so I guess I should purchase then and post home myself. But then I have to find something else to do in the meantime.

This was so as to provide an unlevel playing field for Oz retailers, which is in effect a cunning form of tariff protection for Oz retailers that stinks, I reckon. When I get a "can't ship" instruction from Amazon etc, I go direct to the retail site itself and don't then have the problem, if the retailer has not got an exclusive arrangement with the Amazons etc re o/s sales. In fact nowadays, I find that I rarely purchase items thru Amazon or eBay for this reason,,,, it is my form of protest against what they have done.

But the gov is happy for our jobs to go OS no level playing field there.

Amazon's business model is largely as a broker for online sales you will often find if you look at the same item on the search list one can be shipped the other cannt it depends on the end vendor. Some brands have also implemented contracts with their sellers that limit them by geography
