Amazon UK or Amazon?

I feature both Amazon and Amazon UK at my site. I have friends who reside in Ireland but, when they buy from Amazon, they use Amazon.com not Amazon UK.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if most from the UK tend to do the same.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm having a @#! of a time dealing with and getting paid in a timely manner from Amazon UK. I won't go into all the details except, bottom line, I'd like to dump them.

Still, if a person from the UK wants to purchase through my site and Amazon UK is the way to go, I'd like to offer them that option. If not, bye-bye Amazon UK!

If you are using them both, you should be able to make that decision based on your income; ours may vary.

I use both (where I use any), and my income is 4 to 1 in favour of .com

But my visitors on those sites are similarly distributed.

If you get a reasonable income, then sort out the payments (mine were problematic for two payments, and fine since; it's all automated, so once they settle down, you should be set for life.

But if they are not earners, dump em.

You are not the only one having problems getting checks in time from Amazon UK.

You can void dealing with Amazon Uk directly if you sign up with Zanox and send people through there. The terms are very similar.

I've deleted all references to Amazon UK from my site, and will be canceling my account with them as soon my ***JANUARY*** '07 check is received, deposited and cleared.

But I did finally get my March check. What a hassle it is to deposit in a US Bank; a long form the bank must fill out and uncertain about when the check will actually be deposited in your account.

Unless you want to buy CDs and Videos from Amazon UK and pay for the shipping to the US, and unless you make a huge amount of money through Amazon UK, folks from the US may want to consider if the hassle is worth it.

When you ask them a question and they respond "we'll get back to you shortly...."

Oh, never mind!
