If you're ordering from Europe, be sure to check if it's available in your local Amazon page first, I almost got slapped with like a 50% shipping/import charges because I went straight to the main link (the US amazon). The ones that have it are listed in the blog post.

I find it crazy that Amazon haven't implemented a feature that will take you to the same product in your local store easily. I had the same issue and had to go find it manually.

one cool feature amazon implements is that if you change the .com for .es (and nothing else) for a product link it will do exactly that. I know it is not automatic but it works.

I've had this work for some items but not others when changing .com to .co.uk before sending a link to a friend across the pond.
