I've always been turned down when attempting to order books from Amazon to send to a Chile address.
Could you post what the rates were for shipping those gardening books, and the titles of the books to get some idea of weight/cost if we can get Amazon to play nicely?
many thanks
I think you will find if the book is allowed to be shipped to chile will change from book to book based on copyright and publishers etc.... you will find that you cant get the English version sent here until the spanish version is released in the shops...... same goes for the kindle....
you could also use a service like http://www.eshopex.cl to bring in your books from USA and allows you to fool amazon into thinking you are USA born and bread, i use them on a weekly basis for all types of things, it works about about $10 per KG (by volume/weight combination) (that is without the taxes, i always calculate these at 31% that includes iva and the import duties), and if you take the super slow post in the USA from amazon it is usually free....., eshopex clears it all through customs then you pick up in there store in providencia and pay the Taxes and freight etc.... (Oh of course if amazon pack a small book in a large box, then you end up paying a fortune for freight as its by volume, but if i remember back to around 2000 when i brought tech books from amazon they were always packaged in Bags... wonder if its the same)
, I just haven't been back to this thread in a long time and didn't see your question.
