Yup, Kobo just replied me, again
Their reply in whole as below:
Quote:
Hello Kobo Customer
Thank you for contacting Tier 2 Kobo Direct Orders.
Could you please advise from where you are attempting to purchase the device.
From your Kobo account I see the country selected is Singapore.
I am afraid it is not available fro purchase online or in a store in Singapore.
The only option which I can recommend is that if you have a friend or family member in the U.S.A or Canada get them to place the order and the for them to forward it on to you.
I hope this helps and I do apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Sincerely
The Kobo Team

Up till about a week back I could still access the buy page (from Singapore) freely, then suddenly it was being redirected to an error page and became somewhat a permanent fixture thence, thus I was curious as to what happened, was it a technical glitch or a policy change on Kobo's side?
With Kobo's reply and the fact that jersysman who is in States can access the buy page, I guess the answer is the latter.
Maybe those who are more internet tech savvy can shed some light as to why VPN and proxy servers proved to be futile too.
