No Pasito We have Pasito. Lemon Squash is also available in 10 packs for the same price per can.
CamelCamelCamel.
I managed to make an order to be delivered to regional Queensland.
Surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Must be so uneconomical to ship these items to whoop whoop.
I use to get around it by having address set to metro on the product page, and change it to my regional address in the checkout page, but looks like they’ve finally cottoned on :(
I have no issue with delivery taking a week or so compared to next day metro, but it’s disappointing they don’t want to ship to regional.
What makes it worse is Amazon is straight up lying - on the item page it says:
Temporarily out of stock.
We are working hard to be back in stock as soon as possible.
…which is clearly BS as it is in stock when setting location to a postcode they'll deliver to.
And I've just discovered another lie - the regional coastal town I'm in actually has an Amazon locker yet they still won't deliver certain items to it, at checkout they say "This location is temporarily unavailable because it’s full." but for other items there's no issue delivering to the locker. This is even the case when I have both items (one they'll deliver and one they won't) in cart at checkout. And the items I'm testing are just small, non-bulky items.
@WookieMonster (tagging you as thought you'd be interested to hear about the locker part).
I guess my gripes with Amazon AU and these restrictions are now two-fold:
Amazon AU's postcode restrictions for these kinds of items sometimes make no sense. It seems as though someone was throwing darts at maps to determine which postcodes to exclude.
For example, consider Hobart (and surprisingly most parts of Hobart can have this item delivered to it, even though you could argue Hobart is regional.) I cannot get this item delivered to Midway Point (7171), but I can get it delivered further east in Sorell (7172). If you want to drive east from Hobart Airport to Sorell, the fastest and most direct route is via Midway Point. AFAIK, Aramex and Australia Post usually handle Amazon AU deliveries in Hobart, and their depots are west of Hobart Airport. I cannot understand the logic for excluding Midway Point.
Hey Dan
It was a known Amazon bug for some items.
The joys of living non metro.
It looks like a very large number of items that used to have soft locks now have hard locks.
Common denominatior seems to be sold by Amazon Commercial Services.
It used to be you could either add a metro address check out then change address or add the shoppingads URL to the end but these items now can't be shipped at all.
Soft locked items could be bypassed by searching via Google and click shopping then click on ad or add this to the end of the dp item url
?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ANEGB3WVEVKZB
Example amazon.com.au
/dp/B0C4TJHFV8
Would be amazon.com.au
/dp/B0C4TJHFV8?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ANEGB3WVEVKZB
Click this link and you'll see it's in stock but hard locked can't deliver to address

Yes, thanks. I did that.
No Pastio is a deal breaker, best flavour by far, fight me
Extremely underrated especially in the under 30s demographic
My garbage can is full :( no more room.
I guess someone hates diabetics lol
The difference is 29.50g of Sugar per can.
wonder what it would taste like w no sugar and no fake sugar
just 🤔 no sugar and no replacement sugar
There's a reason why you're left wondering. ie. Nobody makes such a thing.
water?

Problem is it's hard to find it without squished bugs.
Wow I got a neg. Some people truly are humourless.
Edit: 2 now. Sad.
Kirk's sugar free orange is delish.
is that new?
Has been out for a while now. I think it’s mid tier.
Much better than Fanta and sunkist no sugar. Amazon stocked it for a short time. Wish they brought it back
Will give it a go thanks
Orange is on sale this week at Woolies
The title should be adjusted to “no country areas”.
@Thrifty Dan @MiscOzB @WookieMonster @tomsco
Looks like its much worse than I initially expected
Did some checking on a number of items.
Seems like if its sold by Amazon Commerical Services its now a shipping restriction for all items.
Size is not the factor, it's the seller
Example - this can't be shipped - 1x bottle of pink stuff -
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B07T9C5CQR
On desktop view if it says the following its a no go
Dispatched from: Amazon AU
Sold by: Amazon AU
If it says the following it should okay (only tested this item)
https://www.amazon.com.au/Colgate-Optic-White-Sparkling-500/…
Dispatched from and sold by Amazon AU
Sold by Amazon Commerical Services includes Tissue paper, toilet paper, paper towel, milks, bundaberg, coke, some powerades, Pepsico, smiths chips, water, dog treats, Colgate mouthwash, califa farms oat milk etc.
I've cancelled my Prime as 95% of my purchases from Amazon are groceries. If i wanted to buy third party dropshipped crap I can get it myself from Aliexpress for 1/3 the price
Thanks for the research, but I even get the message for the 2nd item Colgate Optic white at the end of the checkout.
Seems like if its sold by Amazon Commerical Services its now a shipping restriction for all items.
The second item you've linked is sold by Amazon Commerical Services and can be shipped to my address, so it's not all items. Another example is this which can also still be shipped.
Interesting though that @Thrifty Dan can't get the Colgate delivered. Perhaps the more rural you are, the fewer the items that can be shipped?
Before it worked for nearly everything to 5433 or 5700. I only needed to bypass some products at the time. Yes, the last item (kitchen rubbish bags) can still be delivered to me.
Wonder if the same day delivery for prime members in Sydney is what has caused the change either by accident or by design.
https://www.aboutamazon.com.au/news/amazon-prime/amazon-anno…
Cheers for the additional research. Whoops I did post 2 shipped and sold by items.
That item is fine for me also.
Seems like its a primary set of items for some and then a subset of items for others.
Some can get the Kirks delivered rural no issue.
Some items even allow adding to cart with my rural address then bomb on checkout like this one.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Quilton-Toilet-Tissue-Sheets-11x10…
They all seem to be Amazon commercial services items that have the issue.
With the changes to Prime Video and this one ill probably be cancelling when my yearly membership is up.
Can you see what warehouse it ships from? May be that you can get items if they are in stock at your local capital city wh, but not if it has go come from interstate
@Grannular: Not sure if you can see this before you ordered.
Ive previously ordered 2 of the items that now can't be shipped.
Amazon APPC STD ATL Direct BWU1, NSW
Amazon APPC STD ATL Direct BWU2, NSW
Should note I am in the same state.
Could tie into the same day delivery announcement for Sydney Amazon Announced recently. Could be by accident or by design.
https://www.aboutamazon.com.au/news/amazon-prime/amazon-anno…
Have to find an item I previously ordered that I can still order to see where it came from.
I raised an enquiry at Amazon. I argued, why I pay full price for the membership if Amazon does not deliver to me most of the products anymore. They will investigate and send me an email on 28/8.
They said:
“I will raise a request to see what is going on and send you an update through an email in 2 days, as for why this might be happening is because some of the vendors in amazon that supply or contract the items to us no longer deliver to specific addresses.
I do get where you are
coming from of course, please don't worry hopefully I will get this fixed if this was an error if not I will provide you with all the information I have gathered.
This might be an error, so please don't worry let me just investigate it with the investigation team and get back to you”
@dazza826: Here is an update from Amazon Australia about that a lot of products are not available to country areas / outside Metro. I just had an interesting talk via chat with Amazon. It seems all is a glitch:
Me:
So what happened that Amazon decided to cut out their country customers?
Amazon:
This is a known issue, and the technical team is trying to fix this for our valuable customers like you.
Me:
if that was a major decision why didn't you inform your loyal customers?
Amazon:
No absolutely not.
This is not any kind of decision that has been made. It's a glitch which we have got.
I understand your concern, and we are trying to fix this for you as soon as possible.
@Thrifty Dan: Appreciate the update and you following it up.
Let's hope they are able to fix the glitch and it isn't a long term service change that they can't fix, don't fix or won't fix.
It seems to be only recent as well so it would make sense it's a glitch, things are always being changed and updated.
It does seem to coincide though timing wise with the announcement and rollout of same day delivery in Sydney for some Amazon items.
Items affected by the glitch are a large subset of Amazon Commerical Services items, but not all.
Items affected that I previously was able to order did come from bwu1 and 2 in nsw in the Sydney area.
It could also be an unrelated to this, and correlation doesn't always equal causation.
@dazza826: Only a glitch according to some of their associates, not all https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15649015/redir
They're clueless.
@MiscOzB: Sounds like it depends who you are talking to and what info they have/what they will tell you/can tell you etc.
If its a business decision then it is what it is and ill cancel my membership. If its a glitch and it gets fixed awesome.
These businesses decisions and changes happen all the time, see video ads for prime and echo ads where the device you paid more for and a subscription for no ads is no longer offered.
Just Googled Amazon and saw 2 headlines from the last hour where they have rolled out next day delivery to Mornington Perninsula and Gold Coast.
Then saw the post in the other thread -
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15648673/redir
Have noticed like the other poster in that thread that more and more items have required a workaround to order as well.
Based on the Sydney announcement and these new delivery announcements, it very well may be a business decision and change.
Then again it could be a glitch.
What is the difference between lemon squash and lemonade?
Lift VS sprite
Only available in metro areas of Australia. Not available in country areas. No love for country Australia. I should really cancel my Prime membership.
