Well cause of the Amazon.com international shipping policy

Quote
Buyers outside the U.S. cannot purchase the following types of items from sellers: video games, toy and baby items, electronics, cameras and photo items, tools and hardware, kitchenware and housewares, sporting goods and outdoor equipment, software, and computers.

And to keep it in the MTO family I now have a copy of "The Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual" by our own Michael M. Young on the way. :D

I've been meaning to buy this for quite some time but some other purchase always came in the way. I'm looking forward to reading it. :cheers:

Thanks again Detron for your generosity. :hatsoff:

OK, so lesson learned, if I decide to have this type of prize again down the road, it will be a paypal gift.  I had no idea that Amazon would not accept a gift card on a sister site like Amazon.uk, and others.

Luckily Enki_ck found a great book, I do hope if he had not he would have informed me of the issue, I could have sent him a paypal replacement, or even made a purchase for him and shipped it.

I guess trying to side-step international shipping does not fully work.  oh well.  I will know for next time.
If I can help, let me know

Yeah, Amazon can be kind of a pain in the butt.  Still, that was a great purchase and an awesome gesture from Detron!  :D

There was no problem, mate. :cheers: I actually prefer this purchase to the one I intended to do. :)

I had a Bahco Laplander in my .co.uk cart that I thought might be a nice buy but as Amazon wouldn't let me I browsed a while in the US version of it. And then it hit me. :doh: "Get the Book." :D I already wanted to buy it for my birthday but then postponed it till Christmas. I've heard from Mike yesterday and he already shipped the book. :cheers: Which reminds me, I still owe him a PM. :D
