An update on my Apple adventure

And now, Amazon.com don't ship to Canadia.

Son of a BITCH!

edit: As a correction, they do not ship software.

They still seem to be shipping books and DVDs...what are your being thwarted from ordering?

Software; a Mac version of Civ IV.

Some things they ship internationally and some they don't. Software and boardgames (at least the ones I was trying to get) fall into the "not" category. Books, CDs, and DVDs, they do. You have my sympathies. We need to arrange some sort of swap-meet with some American friends... I'm still trying to get ahold of the Nostalgia (/not/ Vintage) editions of Risk and Scrabble, which are apparently common as dirt in the US, but up here, rare as hen's teeth...

Software is what I wanted, the Mac version of Civ IV which they charge about 30% less for.

Well, it's not clear to me that a purchaser with a US billing address cannot purchase things like that and have them delivered to an international address; likely it's that the billing address must be in the US...

ho-HO... although Amazon won't ship Hasbro's Nostalgia series games north of the border, Barnes & Noble will apparently. In a few weeks, my collection should be complete... muahahaha...

Tell me about it~! I was all excited to get a miniSD wi-fi card for my new phone (since Bell disabled the wi-fi, jerks) only to find out that they would not ship to Canada. Bastards.

I need an american friend who travels here frequently...

Either that, or a po box in Buffalo. Hey, business expense!

What the hell!? That's just not fair!
