Only that Amazon doesn't ship electronics to outside the US, and thus international customers wouldn't be able to get them. Since the Foundation is from the UK, they probably know that.

Maybe they didn't go for the best option, but I always like to remind the US customers (who usually just don't honestly know about Amazon's restrictions) that buying electronics from them is a bad idea for the international market

Amazon has sites all over the world, including the UK, for which it also offers fulfillment services.

I suspect the larger reason this hasn't been done yet is that it allows them to first take the orders and then scale the production run size to that.

All over the world? They've got sites in 9 countries.

Estimate demand, send X% of your initial production run (probably more than half) to Amazon, send the rest to international suppliers.

From my perspective the US is "international"
