    Could use PM/AP for delivery but payment needs to be from a GB address


    Any workaround

    Won't work if they do full matching. An Post's sterling cards allow temporary addresses, or at least they used to.

    Do not expect any assistance from the retailer in doing any returns if you've gone to this length to get around their delivery restrictions though.

    You just return items to the UK and pay postage yourself if you need to. I've done it with loads of sites. TK Maxx and Tesco UK the main ones. It's not a delivery restriction, it's a billing address issue. It should be irrelevant what country your card is issued in once you pay.

    You can look at the number of posts of people complaining about the extra cost of sending to the UK when they used PM/AP on here. It has reduced over time but the shock of shipping costs the first time around gets a lot of people! Larger items are more problematic; Adidas shoe boxes are not small for instance.

    New EU regulations are meant to stop this regionalised site thing; I have not as yet read up on them. Likely irrelevant for the UK in 3 months anyway.

    I will also add that my personal experience is that Adidas's shipping around this time of year is bloody awful and you will probably be waiting until January now.

    If they allow you to use PayPal at checkout then PayPal will pay for your returns if you need to send them back (up to 30 euro)
