I found this aftershave I’d been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it’s apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn’t figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?

    Perhaps the seller doesn’t ship overseas? I’m Belgian and I’ve got that with US shops sometimes.

      This I never understood.

      Amazon basically has an international presence. Amazon could easily allow a seller to ship to a local Amazon logistics location and then Amazon shipping could just handle the rest, perhaps with a slightly higher shipping fee.

        That requires the shipper to agree to it. It also requires Amazon to build out a package collection infrastructure.

          Would also require seller to fill many tax and vat forms (one per country they sell products into). And it may very well not be worth the effort.
