Amazon.com MP3 – not in Canada

Just went to download a song from the highly touted new DRM-free Amazon digital music store: Amazon.com MP3 Downloads

The Amazon software downloaded to my Mac. No problem.

But Amazon knew that my credit card was Canadian. And the service is not yet available in Canada.

Blast.

I had even given them an address in the USA. It did not work.

Same thing happened to Emru Townsend of PC Magazine:

(I was) piqued that this limitation wasn’t made clear before I started browsing — and Amazon isn’t the only online vendor guilty of this time-wasting oversight.

In Digital Music, Multinationals Are Often Provincial

    Hi Rick, We truly enjoyed your comments about Chapalla….
    My husband and I are making our first visit to Mexico this spring to “check it out”…are your folks happy there? We know nothing about the place but would like to visit it during our trip….we start in Puerto Vallarta and then will travel west.
    Any suggestions are apreciated.
    Marci

    Great quote from PC mag. I live in Canada and often run into “no international shipping” problems from all sorts of shopping sites…
