I've sent an email to customer service asking just that question... Let's see where this goes.
Good point Eric, how this started was I placed the order and asked for shipping to a UK address at which point the website spat the order out.

The only way I could get past this hurdle was to use a US address and the only way for me personally was to use US Unlocked.

I suspect the truth is
1) They don't want the hassle of shipping overseas, knowing full well that you are going to use it. In other words their 'system' has a clean conscience because they send to a US address

2) They can process the order as normal as they don't need to calculate shipping for you as it is free shipping in the US.

Let's see how you get on, I suspect they may refuse to ship to a different address. Let's hope you get Mike as I understand it's a bit hit and miss.
