Ordering from Amazon US site delivery to accomodation

Apologies if this is in the wrong place or has been covered before

We go next week and DW wants a hard copy of a book which I cannot get in the UK (she has the kindle version). Does anyone know if I can order from the US Amazon site and get delivered to our accommodation address using a UK credit card or not?

Any advice / experiences would be much appreciated, if not, it looks like a trawl around any bookshops we can find.

Many thanks

We forgot our battery charger so we ordered a US charger from Amazon when we got there. It was delivered to a pick up location. We just went and got it once we had confirmation it was there. Very very easy to do

Would that be an option ?

Of course you will have to pay in dollars but yes, we used our UK credit card

Yes no problem, save for Disney’s $5 package receivable fee you may be charged. You can set up and Amazon US account and activate a free prime deal, just remember to cancel the Prime when you’ve put your order in.

We ordered an I pad when we were there at Easter, it had to be delivered to a pick up point. We got to choose & went for a 7Eleven that was close to us, was delivered to a locker inside the shop & we were given a code to access it. We had no issues with this 👍

Thank you all for the replies.

Pick up point would work, and we are staying off site, so no issue with Disney's additional fees to take a package

We always have stuff from Amazon delivered to the villa we are staying at. It has to go to the clubhouse but then we just pick up 👍

If you are staying in a villa it is best to check... sometimes we can get deliveries and sometimes we can't (it depends on the carrier!). Amazon lockers / pick up points work well though.

I always seem to find stuff on Amazon and have it delivered to the hotel. As above, I open a Prime 30 day trial. I put a note in my phone calendar to cancel it when I leave for home.

One word of warning - I’m used to UK Prime with most orders arriving next day or so. It can take longer in the US, because the distances I suppose. Best to order at the beginning of your holiday.
