Hi there

I was seeking to order something from the website, but when entering credit card details, United Kingdom was not one of the address options available.

I know we British are a has-been empire, but you've still got the French listed...

Any ideas?

It'll be those Scottish Assembly election results; everyone's talking like they've already seceded from the Union.

Have you tried looking under England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?

Or Great Britain? Or perhaps, since Paizo is an American company, "Royalist Scumbags"? ;-)

"Great Britian" is listed.

Thank you David. I'll try that. Wonder what you're supposed to do if you live in Northern Ireland.

We use the USPS names for countries, mostly. Technically I guess we should be labeling "Great Britain" as "Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

We used to call that country "United Kingdom" but apparently it's not. Or something. I can't keep it straight. All I know is the packages got returned to us. And apparently "Scotland" isn't even a real place.

Actually the international mail manual is full of fun stuff. Did you know you can't mail extravagant clothes to Albania?

And yet you can mail live scorpions, James and Vic they haven't arrived yet.

Very forward-thinking of them. Keeps Princess Beatrice's fascinator from ever crossing the border.

I bet other countries are wishing they had this foresight.

Sorry, I was aiming for a snarky joke to reply to Cosmo suggesting I write a FAQ about "Angry Scots". Admittedly, its not a very good joke. Humor is more Cosmo's domain.

I do plan on writing a FAQ regarding which countries need to use Great Britain (as well as some other quirky problems and questions that come up with shipping addresses).

Well I did write a snarky reply originally but changed it because being a jerk isn't my style.

What country should I use for shipping to the Isle of Lucy?

Hey, I think Spinal Tap played a Jazz-Blues Festival there some years back.

Oh very funny Vic...

There is one small island off the Scottish coast which is the most romantic island in the world..

It's name is the Isle of Ewe

Blues-Jazz, really.

Who knew that combining haggis, Glenfiddich and PopRocks could go so horribly wrong...

I didn't think the Welsh were capable of being happy, except by coming up with ridiculous names for tiny villages, such as

Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion, or Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybarcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole, and of course, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

There's the place Bruce Forsyth gets his wives; The Isle o'Sinclair.

Maybe it's not an option because they think Geordies can't read. That's pure Scouser propaganda.
