Figured this is an awesome deal for me to finally get to fiddle with Alexa but simply can't get it to complete the checkout process, possibly because I'm not completing the AGS address correctly.

Has anyone else possibly done this today and gotten anywhere?
 
I'm intimate friends with Alexa on my Fire.
The only thing she does well is sing and tell jokes though.
She refuses to work in the kitchen as she should.
Woman....can't live with them..... can't live without them.
No to your question though.
Are you trying to deliver it via package forwarding?
If so, I've used this company before with no issues: https://www.viabox.com/
Edit: I see AGS is Aramex. My bad.
 
Damn - by the time it gets here that $10 auto renewal will be the equivalent of at least two standard priced Echos.

Try move your AGS code out of the address and as part of your name. See if the address then work?

You can just cancel that immediately though.

And you need to go see what the standard price amounts to now, it’s not fun.

Try www.postbox-courier.com

Delivery around $27,50 and the Echo ships at $17,59 with Amazon's handling fee.

$45,09 to your door.
 
I’m not sure the address is the issue I just get a random error but will try that.

Do you just have one shipping address?

Got an error message 'cos I had the original US address I used to open the account as well as the forwarding address. Deleted the original and problem seemed to be solved.

I get this error, before even selecting my address:
We are sorry. Something went wrong with your purchase of this product. Any bundle discounts associated with this product will not be applied in this purchase.
 
Yeah I tried a new Amazon account even and thought I was winning but then got the same failure so there is some weird check in place somewhere.

Maybe they are monitoring freight forwarder addresses for these specials or something.

On the brand new account I just created there was only one.

Even a brand new credit card.
 
No because you'd have to pay all the shipping on top of the normal price as well which is closer to like R1800 landed cost.

Before you press any buttons...
