...it certainly ships to the US!

My experience is that unless it is illegal for them to do so due to licencing issues (in which case you use a forwarding service *g* -- for Japan, tenso.com), any Amazon outlet will ship any product anywhere; however, Amazon Marketplace sellers will usually not.

They ship to the U.S.; why wouldn't they ship to Canada?

You could just go ahead and order it. If they don't ship to the frozen North, they'd just cancel the order at the putting-your-address-in stage.

They do, although I have mostly switched to ordering UK books from the Book Depository, which offers free worldwide shipping.

They definitely ship to Canada, as I’ve ordered from them before. Shipping was not expensive at that time, but it’s been a few years.

I've ordered DVDs from Amazon UK without problem in the past (I don't have a problem with playing region 2 PAL, which was the bigger problem than if they would ship to Canada).

Yes, they'll ship to Canada. And they'll ship a book from the UK to Canada when you order it from the US, too. :-) They're all about the bottom line...

Just received here (in Canada) a book I ordered from Amazon UK @2 weeks ago. The shipping costs are quite reasonable and the speed varies from 1 to 2 weeks.

I'm in the US and order from Amazon UK with no trouble.

Just to note, though, many sellers on Amazon UK do not offer international shipping, so if you're looking for something that is only available from private sellers you may have a little trouble.

It may depend on what you're ordering. I tried to order a particular lotion for my mother (Nivea brand, but a variation not sold in the US) and the site wouldn't let me complete the order. That may be a US thing, though.

It's possible it depends on the item. It does, when shipping to Ireland.

In general, all the regional amazons (amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.co.jp, amazon.cn, etc.) will ship anywhere. Specific types of products may be restricted when the manufacturers insist (e.g. you can't order video games from amazon.uk for shipment outside the UK), but physical books should generally be unrestricted.

Ebooks are another matter entirely, of course, and generally have to be ordered from your local flavor of amazon.
