Title: Overstock.com not accepting bitcoin for international orders
Post by: bitkoyun on January 11, 2014, 04:42:38 PM
When I heard that overstock.com begins accepting bitcoin I could not help myself giving it a try. Unfortunately the famous online store only accepts bitcoin for items delivered to United States addresses. Being a Turkish resident I don't have a US address, yet I don't have any friends in the US that I can send gifts. So I decided to buy a gift using my bitcoins for the president Barack Obama.

Here is my experience with overstock.com as an overseas customer

I wonder why they are not accepting bitcoin for international orders.

Good work! Read your blog post. Made me chuckle. 'Apparently USPS doesn't know where the White House is'  :)

Yeah I noticed this too in the UK, nothing on their UK site about Bitcoin payment. Hopefully this will come soon.
