We’ve been selling Writer Emergency Pack on Amazon for over a year — but only the US version of Amazon. There are 10 marketplaces in all, covering different areas of the world.

As of this afternoon, we’ve added our second marketplace: the United Kingom. We’re [officially in stock][amazon]!
We picked the UK because it was the second-biggest market for us after the US. It also serves as a gateway to Europe. When purchasing through Amazon.com, European buyers have to pay customs, making it significantly more expensive. Plus orders need to be shipped overseas, adding time to delivery. When buying through Amazon.co.uk, orders are shipped from London, and customs fees are already paid (by us).
This saves customers time, money and hassle.
At some point, I’ll write up a post explaining the process of setting up Amazon FBA for the UK. It was much more complicated than I expected, mostly because of dealing with importers and logistics. We had our shipment held at Heathrow for lack of an EORI number, which you can only get through a [finicky online form][hmrc]. For ten days, we had no idea where the decks actually were, until they suddenly showed up for sale this afternoon.
But we’re happy to finally be available. You can find us on both [Amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com/Writer-Emergency-Pack/dp/B00R6ZLIOY) and [Amazon.co.uk][amazon].
They’re also available directly through the [Writer Emergency store](http://writeremergency.com).
