Amazon accepts international debit and credit cards, so there should be no problems paying for your purchases in the USA.

 

Why do I suggest Shipito for package/parcel forwarding?

Shipito is a parcel/package forwarding service that I use myself. I’ve compared many such companies and haven’t found cheaper services that offers a package consolidation. Plus it has lots of mailing options: USPS Express Mail, USPS Priority Mail, Polonez Parcel, USPS Flat rate box and Flat rate envelope, FedEx, FedEx MPS, Fedex Freight, Shipito Air Mail, DHL. I use USPS Express Mail which is not offered by many other package/parcel forwarding services. You can also use Shipito Airmail Priority or Polonez Parcel to avoid USPS restrictions for delivering lithium batteries and electronics with lithium, Li-ion, Li-Pol batteries (Kindle readers contain lithium battery which can’t be removed).

Amazon problem: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Filed under: Shop in the USA from outside the U.S. — 1 Comment
March 4, 2011

You can buy ebooks from a Kindle Store from outside the U.S.. Let’s see whether it makes sense to have a U.S. address and whether you can buy ebook in the US Kindle Store using a U.S. address, while being outside U.S.A.

Kindle Store books are priced differently for people from different countries. The same book can be free for a customer from the U.S.A., while being not free for other customers. Here is an example: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider’s Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business [Kindle Edition] by Jamie Turner, Reshma Shah is free for US customers and costs $2 for customers from Russia:

Kindle Store: How to Make Money with Social Media

Kindle Store ebook for a customer from the U.S.A: How to Make Money with Social Media

 

Kindle Store for a customer from Russia: How to Make Money with Social Media

Kindle Store ebook for a customer from Russia: How to Make Money with Social Media

 

If you move to another country, you can buy about 5 ebooks using your U.S. address. But then you will get the following message:

Name Surname, please contact us or change your country to complete your purchase.

You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Are you traveling outside your country?

Please contact customer service in order to continue purchasing Kindle items.

Did you recently move to a new country?

You can easily update your country for your Amazon account.

Amazon: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Amazon: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

 

If you want to order ebooks from a US Kindle Store while using a U.S. address, being outside the U.S., and without contacting Amazon customer service, you need to use a U.S. IP address. You can get it by using a U.S. proxy server, a U.S. VPN (Virtual Private Network). You can also use Tor, but the latter is risky. When you have a U.S. IP address, you don’t get any messages and can buy ebooks from Kindle Store without any problem.
