Can I buy from Amazon in the UK?

Can you buy things off of the Amazon US in the UK?

• There's this nail polish collection which I really really like! I checked out the prices on the UK Amazon and there REALLY expensive. Then I came across the collection being sold for about $51 which is about £30-£35. If I were to buy them, I would save half my money. So, is it possible to buy stuff off of the US Amazon in the UK?

• Answer:

  Yes, you can. I've bought things from various international Amazon sites and so far I've never had a problem in doing so. Generally in making payments in foreign currency over the internet, the bank you use will calculate electronically the correct amount according to the latest exchange rates. You may still wish to make sure that this is the case with your bank. I'd also point out the possibility of customs charges which I've had to pay on some parcels from abroad. Just worth pointing out. I'd also make you aware that some stores may be unable to ship some goods to some countries. I've never come across this on Amazon, but there are certainly restrictions on goods coming to some countries, and shipping goods to some countries too.
