Shopping On Amazon.com Is Banned outside USA Temporarily

Martinluther · 03-19-2020, 07:35 PM

I was searching and reading wireless chargers reviews and when I clicked the Amazon links, they said selling is temporary disable because of Corona Outbreak in the USA.

Is it happened to me or else you have also faced this or facing this. Please confirm.

I just went to Amazon.com and went as far as checking out. No message about selling being stopped.

Clicking the link on that site let me put it in my cart and go to checkout.

What country are you in?

Yes it's banned because Amazon.com is no selling things outside of the US.

I placed an order today for Kind Breakfast Bars and allergy medicine. They offered $1.50 on each item a digital credit to ship slowly and allow for for more important orders to take precedent. I'm fine with waiting a week for shipment so I opted for the slow shipping.

May not be the cause of the OP's problem, but somewhat related:

So in the short term, we are making the decision to temporarily prioritize household staples, medical supplies and other high-demand products coming into our fulfillment centers so we can more quickly receive, restock and ship these products to customers. Products already on its way to our fulfillment centers will be accepted. This does not impact products being delivered to customers, or products currently in stock in our store. Customers can continue to buy any in-stock product in our store, and we will continue to deliver them. March 17, 2020.

I did the same when ordering my allergy meds and ibuprofen yesterday. I've got enough of both to last till the later estimated date, and that $3 in credit made it an even easier decision.

No TP at Amazon -- every brand sold out

In a pinch a wet washcloth will do. Fold it in half 4 times. And then you need to spend some time washing it out in the sink, washing the sink, etc. A white one is better for seeing when it's clean.

Not my Amazon US -- but I suppose the status could change quickly.

People using products not designed to be flushed is causing issues for some areas, according to one news story I saw. Those wipes that are marked "flushable" are not. They get stuck and block fans and water treatment equipment. Our city water department sent out notices about it last year.

Paper towels and napkins aren't designed to break apart like toilet tissue is. Flushing them will cause problems.

There were some brands of toilet tissue in stock yesterday on Amazon, I haven't searched today. You can ask to be notified when an item is in stock. Also, last time I checked, Target had it and it could be ordered for delivery.
