Season 4 is still offered for sale without the notice. Perhaps just wait some weeks or months and then try again. I had the same issue with the Depp collection on Amazon.co.uk. I couldn't order it about three months ago, but worked fine today. | | |

You don't provide much interms of detail. But it could be that the distributor for whatever the series is has decided to get serious and clamp down on the words that are written on the back of the majority of DVDS, "Not for for sale or rental outside of the Unisted States" or whatever the exact choice of verbiage is, not all distributors make such commets, but some do and perhaps someone has gottenserious about it.
For example Dreamworks states "Licensed for sale only in the U.S." Warner has a similar statement.
Skip
If that were the case, why ship Season 4 (released on the same date), and earlier Seasons 1 and 2, and make an exception for Season 3? As for the distributor, that would be Amazon.
As for the details, this is about Zoey 101, Season 3. And of course, I only want it for profiling...  No, Amazon is the reseller, they are NOT the distributor. All this time in Profiler and you don't know what the distributor is? I can't say anything for ceratin Staid. IF for some reason the distribitor decided to clamp down on the US license then Amazon cannot ship or they would be liable to not be able to sell that distributor's products any longer. I can't say that this is the reason because I don't KNOW for certain, but I do know that Hollywood is taking an increasingly dim view of US products being exported to markets they are not intended for. One of the biggest hammers used here in the US is against resellers that sell product prior to release date. Especially in this day of computers, such things are easy to track and prove whether or not release date has been violated. This can range to anything from a pre-arranged fine to the reseller, to loss of co-op advertising money. I can only relay what i know and what MIGHT be the case. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | My understanding is that these particular releases are made specifically for Amazon only (by CreateSpace), so I would consider them to be the distributor. No one else distributes them, that's for sure. | | | | Hans |

Just a flier from left field, but could it be something to do with some music that is on Season 3, which prohibits it because of copyright being sold outside of certain country???? Often notice music changes from tv performance to dvd release because of licensing. | | |  |

| | Posted: | | | | This happens on rare occasions at all amazon stores, so far it was always a mistake in their database, and if you tried to order it again some days later it worked. I am ordering tons of stuff from overseas, no problems here  cheers Donnie | | | | www.tvmaze.com |

| | Posted: | | | | I just checked Amazon.com and, of the 4 seasons available, season 3 is the only one that states...
Notice: This title cannot be shipped internationally.
Donnie might be correct, there may be a licensing issue that prevents Amazon from exporting that season. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Donnie might be correct, there may be a licensing issue that prevents Amazon from exporting that season. The "reason" that Amazon gave is that "the order is at a fulfillment centre that cannot ship internationally". It took them several weeks and a several email exchanges to come up with that, since originally the people at the helpdesk were as puzzled as I was. The notice on the website appeared much later. | | | | Hans |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't think it's a change of policy by Amazon, I just think they're doing 'cause it's some kind of a special order. Since they list this:
This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Which I have never seen in an Amazon listing. | | | | Last edited: by SvenAN |

(PS> I'm not volunteering to do so, just suggesting the possibility.) I heard that there are shipping companies that offer a 'USA address' service that allows you to buy mail-order from the States from people who otherwise do not ship beyond their own borders, and ship to a domestic USA address of theirs (the shipping company's) and thence onward to yourself. Unfortunately, I don't know any names or addresses of such companies. But you might try and find them. |
