A way to buy from UK?

GERGE · 11-26-2010, 04:54 AM

I want to buy some novels only available in UK. I learned that by entering a fake address to my credit account I can do it but I am a little wary of that. Is there any UK-based service like MyUS from which I can take an UK post address?

Using an UK ip isn't a problem.

I solved it. Borderlinx gives an UK address. Works with Waterstone's.

Gerge, be careful. Borderlinx has had a lot of complaints. =/

Google is your friend.

First stop should be eBay. They frequently have what you want.
Unlike the early days prices may well be higher.

I use an EntroPay virtual credit card. They charge 5% upfront, but don't provide or verify an address to retailers. This works on WHSmith and Foyles with a "random" UK address. So far, they have not been checking where my internet connection is coming from.

I am buying an ebook, so no ebay or shipping. They don't verify the address with the bank but I didn't wanted to put a fake address in case they send a receipt or something (our Turkish ebookstore sends paper receipts). Borderlinx works fine: a free UK address I can use all I like.

Waterstone's checked my IP. This free VPN solved it: http://www.securitykiss.com/sk/index.php

I bought Chris Wooding's The Braided Path series, I wonder they are only available in Waterstone's and WHSmith.
