in I wanna buy it or do it
Hi all,

Is there any difference to buying something on Amazon in America to buying in the UK?

There is a book I want to buy, and while it is $2 in American Amazon, it is £23 here!!

Does the Amazon in America ship to uk?

Thanks all

    I have bought from Amazon US before, although postage made it quite pricey. Add it to your basket and put your shipping info in for a price.

    Should work out cheaper, but not much so I would have thought. :)

    Do we need to pay tax for anything we purchase from Amazon US?
