    Hi,

    I have an Amazon.com gift card and trying to order a Kindle online but the won't ship to Ireland (even when I filter on eligible for Ireland shipping). Any ideas how to work around this?

    thanks

    It could be like Kindle UK, that items does not ship outside UK, as some apps are restricted to work in UK only.

    Others might have other ways, but I think only option would be using a company like Shipto that will receive the item and forward to Ireland. You might have to pay customs when it reaches Ireland.

    Thanks, I was hoping (naively) there would be another option as the cost of the mail forwarder and potential custom tax would make up more than 50% of the cost of the Kindle. :(
