Always on the M1.....
So trying to buy Parallels with an Australian Credit Card with an Australian address whilst currently here in the UK, particularly as it's only £48 compared to £65 if bought via the UK Parallels store...

But when I try and go to the payment window, it keeps dumping me into the UK store with UK pricing, irrespective of the location I put into the web page. Even if i change the currency, it gives me the price in pounds.

I've turned off location services on my MBP, I've used an incognito window in Chrome and Private window in Safari, but still arrive at the same problem.

I have an Australian card with an Australian address so I can't see what the problem is.

Anybody got any thoughts?
 
It'll be by regional Global Load Balancing or the like I would imagine.

Use something like tunnelbear to VPN to Aus?

I use CyberGhost for such things (I travel for work a fair bit) but it's subscription based - think there's some free data in with TunnelBear.
