Have any of you ever tried to buy something from stores in a different country, or wanted to, but they wouldn't ship to your country?

I'm having a problem right now trying to buy some books; I've found these books that I've been looking for forever. They're by Elyne Mitchell, and they're ridiculous expensive here in the US, but because she's an Australian author, they're easier and cheaper to get in Australia. All of these books, the Silver Brumby series, are 10-15 apiece for some books, but ranging upwards of hundreds of dollars for others. Naturally, I don't want to spend that much. However, I found the three volumes with all the books collected into three big books for only 27.99 each, which I find reasonable. One problem; they won't ship to the U.S.
So, my question is, has anyone ever had this problem? And if so, how did you get around it? If I could send the books to someone in Australia or New Zealand, I could pay them to have them shipped here; I'm just not sure who to ask or how to do this. I'm super desperate for these books; I've wanted to read them for as long as I can remember, and I don't want eBooks, even if I could find them. Any help is greatly appreciated. (Especially if you happen to change upon them somewhere cheap and within the US). Anyone have any ideas or suggestions, or know something about it?

Well, I know when Shrewd was trying to buy a MLP figurine, she sent me the money to buy it with USD and I shipped it off to her. o3o It's probably just a matter of finding someone in Australia/New Zealand who's willing to do it for you. Outside of Evelon though, I have no idea how to do this.

I have this problem allllll the time, haha. Whenever I want to get something from the US I just ask a friend there to get it for me and ship it to me personally. Personal shipping is also super cheap compared to what a business would charge.

I don't know anything about these books, but I'm willing to buy and ship them to you if you want to go that route. Shipping from Australia to the US is somewhat expensive, but the Australian dollar is also worth less. In the end it might work out, but it depends on how heavy they are.
