Please kill this popup:

Yes, I know I'm not in the US, and if you only check Amazon.com, that's fine - just show that you're checking 'Amazon.com'

thanks for feedback! It was just a quick add when Ik noticed a ton of people from the UK trying to use it. What would be a better way to communicate until other countries are supported? --most people don't make the connection that when I say only "Amazon.com" it refers to the country (i.e. not other retailers).

Perhaps a banner at the top of the page saying something along the lines of "We only support Amazon.com (US) at this time."

Correct, email is necessary to send the notification.

Main point is they need to have an Amazon.com account (not just a matter of shipment).
