It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site? (lemmy.world)

I found this aftershave I'd been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it's apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn't figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?

It is possible to buy from other countries, I've done it before (not Belgian). I'm guessing Belgian isn't part of the program. Do any near by countries also have the cream you want (Germany or France)?

They'll be a shipping charge for sure, but sometimes you can get things alot cheaper over seas. I'll buy multiple things in one go so the savings add up even with shipping.

You have watch the shipping cost at checkout as you go, one product can double the shipping cost for whatever reason. Avoid those ones if your goal is savings.
