Seifer Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Hi everyone I would like to order something from an Amazon site in the EU, but I can't seem to find any explenations if they ship to other countries expect the one the amazon is from (like amazon.co.uk - UK, amazon.it - Italy). To be more precise I would like to order the SSD from amazon.fr, but I think they won't ship it to Croatia, where I'm from even though we're also in the EU (which should be one market). So I would like to hear your opinions and experience. Is it possible or not to order those kind of sets and have them shipped to different countries within the EU? The item is handled and sold by Amazon and not other retailers. Quote
h311m4n Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Hi there, As far as I know, Amazon will tell you when you enter your shipping address if delivery is possible to you or not. There's no reason why they wouldn't ship it to you but beware of shipping costs.... Worst case the order will not be placed or cancelled. Quote
Seifer Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 I tried that but it says they won't ship to my adress. I don't understand why. Quote
Highlander Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I ordered one a few months ago from Amazon fr, waited about a month for delivery. Arrived ok. Quote
h311m4n Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I tried that but it says they won't ship to my adress. I don't understand why. Well as you don't speak french I suppose you haven't read/seen the delivery restrictions : http://www.amazon.fr/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_cn?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201328260 Basically, they will not send toys to Croatia. Toys = jouets in french. Quote
Seifer Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 Ah damn. Thanks for clearing this up. Amazon UK ships them to my country. Don't know why the french are different LOL Quote
Bernard74 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I've ordered from amazon UK, Germany and France without problems. I think Italy and Spain should also work, only amazon I usually can't order lego from is the U.S. (Although I've bought books, cd's there) There are some other members from the UK and Germany that have experienced not being able to buy Lego at other Amazon sites than the one in their own country. I can sort of understand why they would find it inefficient to ship from Spain to Gemany but you'd think they could easily solve this by increasing shipping cost a bit. Quote
brickinfinite Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Just want to give a shout out to Amazon UK. I recently bought some sets (10 total) from Amazon.co.uk and was really surprised with the quickness and the affordability of the shipment to the U.S. It was less than $30 US and came within 3 business days from UK.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Here's my Amazon.fr order from today: D Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Amazon.fr has put the foot down with selling toys to some countries. They aren't shipping them here to Australia anymore, even though I have bought 8 or so from there before. 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Amazon.fr has put the foot down with selling toys to some countries. They aren't shipping them here to Australia anymore, even though I have bought 8 or so from there before. Took the words right out of my mouth. I don't think they will ship to the US anymore either - I have tried several times. I always try Amazon UK and I try to buy in bulk so that it keeps the extra charges down. Usually shipping isnt too bad at all - I would think it would be better to Croatia, unless its hard to get there. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 My Amazon.fr order has gone through and they say that my 2 SSDs are due for delivery on 22OCT. Quite a deal for approx. Quote
