Amazon has reopened the Amazon US store to Australia now that their systems are upgraded. But it only applies to a handful of items, sold directly by Amazon - you can't buy items from third party sellers on Amazon US & have them delivered to Australia anymore. Third party sellers still have to register on Amazon Australia instead.

Yes there was recently an item on Amazon I wanted to buy. But could not as it was not listed on the local amazon.country. It ended up costing me 10X as much having it shipped from Europe to a friend in the USA and then here.

Enormous costs imposed on me and others for very little benefit.
