Presumably because your HipStamp store says "We couldn't find any matching listings for your search." on the homepage...

Thanks Michael cddstamps - I didn't know about that little foible of HipStamp's site. They could at least state that this person doesn't ship to the UK on the page... :/

Chris, I used to ship worldwide but in the last few years, UPU/USPS shipping regulations along with UK VAT regulations have changed making it prohibitively expensive, time intensive, and generally impractical to have continued doing that. Many US sellers have been with the same decision recently. Some flout the rules but I do not. I truly wish I could have continued but it sadly and simply isn't worth it. As far as HipStamp goes, generally if a store doesn't ship to your country, then you won't be able to view any items in that store based upon your default location. As Michael stated above "Greg only ships to USA ... unless by very special arrangement", if you contact me wishing to purchase something, I will work with you on a case by case basis even if I do not ship to your country by default. All I can say is that I do the best that I can with the tools available to me.
All our best,
Greg

Thanks Greg blue - I appreciate the offer! By the way, I absolutely wasn't saying that it was down to you! Having been a web developer for as long as the internet has existed I'm just amazed that HipStamp's developers couldn't have made such a simple adjustment to their design to be more user friendly. Might have to reach out to them to suggest the change.

Oh no, I get it. No problem at all. It is somewhat frustrating though that "the powers that be" can't make commerce at least a little bit easier. I recognize the potential and quality of the non-US market. The little guys like me (and the lazy cat) just don't have the wherewithal to be able to manage these things and still be able to make a little coin.
And as far as reaching out to HS to make some changes is like dealing with the IRS here in the states. They just kind of figuratively glare at you and nod their heads then just go on their merry little way. It is what it is though....

Cats aren't lazy. They save their energy for important things.
The dog, on the other hand, is lazy. (My Bentley) Oh no, I get it. No problem at all. It is somewhat frustrating though that "the powers that be" can't make commerce at least a little bit easier.

If they are not technically lazy, they're at best indifferent unless it's something they want. Quite fun and interesting little critters!
