Is that new? I have a copy of Myst 10th Anniversary Edition here that I ordered from Amazon.com two years ago. Shipped from Kentucky to Switzerland in two days (though the shipping cost twice as much as the actual product...).

If you can't find one, there are companies that do nothing else than providing postal addresses in the US and then ship the things they receive there on to the owner worldwide. I have a coworker who regularly buys stuff in the US and uses such a service, but I don't know its name so I can't point you to it. Their basic service reportedly has no subscription fee, you just pay for the shipping.

Hmm... I wasn't able to get any software shipped to Canada, and their marketplace shipping page implicitly showed that they don't ship software internationally, but perhaps there are exceptions or they did change it. I would be interested to know if someone knows more about this.

I think it's Amazon as a company that won't do it, but don't forget that many third-party companies (and users) also use Amazon to sell products, and those may ship internationally.

When I tried to order one of these Hex Isle packets, it wouldn't let me do it since I entered a German address.
