    Hi, Does anyone know why Amazon.co.uk will not let me ship the "Used and New" books to my address in Ireland. You end up having to buy the most expensive book (even though they're all the same book).

    So annoying

    I don't know, I presume it's being sold by a third party? Maybe they will only ship to the UK. Amazon can be a pain to deal with. They wouldn't ship a rubber dog toy out to me, because of the WEEE charges for some reason.

    Try www.abesbooks.com

    Cheers thanks for that site, I actually went from abebook.com to abebooks.co.uk out of convenience for shipping to Ireland. Great site!

    Amazon dont ship the 2nd hand books, think of what your saying! They are a conduit for 2nd hand book sellers. Some second hand book sellers wont ship books to Ireland. I buy second hand books from Amazon all the time, now and again you need to try a couple of them, thats all.

    So when your in the 2nd hand section, you may see this - someone who 'prolly' wont ship here:

    "Delivery: In stock. Dispatched from United Kingdom. See Delivery Rates. See return policy."

    You may also see this - who *WILL* ship here:
    "Delivery: In stock. Dispatched from United Kingdom. International delivery available. See Delivery Rates. See return policy. "

    But check out the rates, some of them are like ebay, insane...
