Printing a book in UK

Question

Printing a book in UK

So this is the thing.

My billing address is in Chile, because I live there. But for a few weeks I'll be staying in London.

What I'd like to do is to send my iPhoto book to my family in Chile, while I'm here. I understand that I wouldn't be able to do that, because Apple will ship the book only in UK, not to other foreign country. Is this correct?

Now, asuming that what I said is correct, how could I have the book here in London? Because it looks like there is no way of retiring the book by myself in some place in UK, since Apple will only ship it directly to my billing address, right?

The thing is that my billing address is actually in Chile like I said, so I don't have a clue about how should I proceed.

Any help will be appreciated! I don't want to miss the opportunity of printing the book while I'm in UK.

iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Have your ordered books or other print products in Chile before? Why I ask is because Chile is not listed in the list of Print Product Stores in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane:

I don't think you can order a book printed in Chile. Tell me if I'm missing something that lets you order there.

Nope, I haven't. And certainly Chile is not on that list. That's why I'm asking.

But as currently I'm in London, I'd like to know just how to get the book, because it looks like the only way of getting it is to receive it directly from Apple by mail. 😕

But I'm not sure you can order since your billing address is in Chile. If you're allowed to order from the United Kingdom Print Store you could have it mailed to your London address.

If there's an Apple store near you go there and ask how to get it ordered. Here in the US we can use Apple Gift Cards to order books. Not sure if that's available in the UK.

How can I order from a Print Store? Because at this moment the only option that I'm seeing in iPhoto is to order from the same app via Internet to the billing address (which in this case would be a problem).

Regarding the second part of your comment, let's see if I understand. Are you suggesting that I could buy a gift card here in UK for the price that I'll have to pay in order to buy the book, and then to create a new Apple ID in the UK Store using my current address in London and the gift card as payment method?

No what OT said was very clear

In any case yes the only way you can get a book is by mail - there is no place to go pick one up - and the thing to try is to set y9our print products country to the UK and order using yoour UK address for the shipping address - not sure that will work but give it a try - our use OTs approach and go to the Apple Atore and ASK

Boy Larry, when I click "buy book" in iPhoto, after the login screen the system will ask me to put my shipping address and billing address. I could put my address in London as the shipping address, but when it comes to the billing address there are only a few limited options (Chile is not listed). So it looks like I'm having a hard time here.

Anyway, today I spent a few minutes discussing this issue in a local Apple Store. Surprisingly, they couldn't help me, so they asked me to pick up the phone and to call to some of the numbers that are on the Apple website so supposedly I can request the book and change the shipping address. However, and as I said before, the shipping address is not the issue, but the billing address!

And I'm not sure that the Apple Gift Cards are working here to order books. When I went to the payment information screen, I only had Visa, MasterCard and American Express as payment methods.
