Is there a way to do this?

When I try to register at Amazon.ca, it requires a Canadian billing address.

It'd seem strange if this wasn't possible.

I suspect that this might be one of the few time that you'd have to call Amazon customer service and have them explain to Amazon.ca what you want to do.

Then you might have to talk with Amazon.ca customer service and place the order over the phone.

I called Amazon.ca and worked everything out. I was actually able to order via the site once I entered my address into my Amazon.ca account. However, when I was trying to add it on the fly while buying the GC and creating the account in one step, it didn't work. He seemed to be familiar with this limitation.

Thanks for the advice. The CSR was a nice fellow.
