I just got the wierdest phonecall.
"Oh hi, this is random phone girl #835 with a cute Canadian accent. We can't ship the item you ordered outside of the US, because the manufacturer REALLY doesn't want us to. Do you have an address within the continental US you can have this gift shipped to instead?"
Uh, no, myself and the recipient both live in Australia...
"Do you have an account with someone like Bongo?"
What's a Bongo?
"*explains what a Bongo is*"
How much does that cost? Can I ring you back?
"Yeah sure, I'll put your order on hold for you."
Uh, okay I guess."
I was just coming in here to see if I could beg borrow or steal someone to act as an intermediary when, not15 seconds later;
"Hey there, this is #835 again, I just talked to my boss and he said we can ship the item, just please pretty please make sure you don't tell anybody wherre you got it from. The manufacturer makes us sign a contract saying we won't ship overseas, and we'll get in trouble. Please don't tell anybody okay?"
No worries, it's a present for a mate, I'll be sure to not even tell him where it's coming from. Thanks.
You see that, #pipe? You're not allowed to tell anybody where one of your presents came from. You haven't got it yet, but when you do, no dobbing. I don't want random phone girl #835 with the cute accent to get fired. Even if she is a bit of a drongo.

The really dumb thing about the situation is, I have seen this companies products on sale here. All over the place. Why on earth they would make an online retailer do that, I do not know.

Because when you contract with someone to sell a product, part of what goes into that is what area you can sell it in. They have a contract to sell things in Australia with certain retailers IN Australia and they have a contract to sell things in America with certain retailers IN America.

Also munkus, for some reason, every time I think about you being from Alabama and having a law degree I immediately picture you as the lawyer for venture brothers.

But. . . but then why do they have the option to put an international address in the ship to field?

Amazon is actually really good with it and says on the product page whether or not it ships internationally, though it's also really frustrating when you see something you really want and go man....

Not if it's me and it was delivered in the last 14 hours. I'll get it once I get home.

Aaaaah
But at some point you'd think it'd stop you
Otherwise they probably call lots of customers just to tell them they can't ship their stuff
