Thats not because you were using a credit card that didnt
match the delivery address is it? Could your friend in
London try ordering directly?

Wouldn't have thought so. I've ordered and had shipped to US
hotels. Providing you give your home address for the billing
address and seperate delivery address should be OK. I
suspect it may be picking up Sweden from the billing address
and binning it as a no-no.

I actually called them today, and they still claim that the
problem is that they don't deliver to London at all (which I
still find kind of strange limit).

: you get what you need somewhere else?

Yes, the reason is that they had a very good price on a
Polar S720i (but also on a lot of other stuff), and in
addition to that also two promotional rebates (the first one
was 20% off everything if you bought for more than $50 last
week, and the second one a general rebate code who was 10%
off the total).

The price for the S720i (after all rebates) is $169 (=
£91), and as I haven't been able to find such a good deal
elsewhere I thought it would be good if they could mange
to ship what they have promised (and initially confirmed).
But if it's a hopeless task I have eventually to give up
in the end (and will probably never more try to order from
them again).

I also a bit curious to why they 1. list countries as
delivery options, which they don't even deliver to and 2.
why they ship to UK, but not London specifically (I tried to
call them today, but the customer service rep couldn't give
me any good explanation for that policy).

Best regards,
