Question on Amazon.com

Here's a question. Amazon.com has a book that I want for $89.95 US dollars. Amazon.co.uk has the same book selling for 24.50 British pounds. If I take the exchange rate to be about 1.45 US dollars per British pound. This brings the book on Amazon.co.uk to be about 35.53 US dollars. Add in another 4.95 British pounds for shipping and the total is $42.71 US dollars. Does this mean I can just buy the book at Amazon.co.uk for less than half the price at Amazon.com? Are there any hidden charges for shipping to US or paying with my US credit card? I have never bought something online from a foreign site. Do I just type in the info the same and it automatically gets converted to US dollars based on the exchange rate? Do I get charged anything extra because I am out of country? I appreciate peoples thoughts/experiences. Thanks. __________________ Not sure about Amazon, but I buy a lot of records from bangingtunes.com in the UK. They do the conversion automatically, using my US credit card, but they do a lot of business overseas. I think the shipping rate is probably higher than 4.95 pounds, though. The shipping for 5 records, which is usually how I get them sent, is about 24.50. So if that means that your book is still cheaper, I'd say go for it. You may want to just e-mail Amazon.co.uk and ask them about it. __________________ Thanks, I appreciate your info! :-) Mavi forum
