I am American, but I live in Japan. I have been searching for a particular T-Fal cooking pot with a particular type of glass lid that used to be available for sale in Japan, but is not any longer.

Doing a broad web search for it, I found it still for sale on Amazon UK. The company selling them even offers to ship to Japan. The problem is when I try to make an account I am blocked because of “suspicious activity.”

I think if I had an account, I would be able to use my own payment methods to buy it and have it shipped to me. Can anyone living in the UK help me?

Yep. While they are registered to a home nation. As soon as you log into another nation's Amazon website, it asks if you want to change nation.

Having multiple addresses from different nations is no issue. You just need to be sure to arrange delivery to the correct one.

I've never done it via their mobile app. But via a web browser, it's easy.
