Current Events > Question about buying MP3 from Amazon UK while living in the U.S.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So there's an MP3 I'd like to buy on Amazon UK's site because it's unavailable on the U.S. Amazon (only can purchase physical copies from third party sellers).

But when I try to check out on the UK website, it wants me to select a billing address but since they're all U.S. addresses, I can't click on any of them. Is this something I need one of those VPNs to do? Because I always hear Youtubers hocking the stuff talking about how you can access other countries' Netflix's so I was wondering if the same type of deal applied here. Am I just boned entirely? Is there any way I can buy this shit while living in the U.S.? Or do I just have to put in some bogus UK address to circumvent that?

It's very annoying. I don't want to hear anyone complain about piracy when I literally am impeded from purchasing a damn MP3 legitimately.

if its during payment where you need to select a uk billing address, it sounds like the card will need to have that address too.

maybe you could buy amazon gift cards in the UK? i dunno where to get those though.but it might be easier than what you're trying to do.

Damn, that sucks. You'd think it would just be as easy to let me check out and then convert my USD to pounds like normal.

Just out of curiousity what are you trying to buy?

Just an MP3 album, Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow. It's only available to buy in physical form on Amazon U.S. and that's from third party sellers asking bullshit prices because it's somewhat rare and OOP.

For whatever reason, it's available as an MP3 digital purchase on the UK site but not the U.S.
