The hunt for the angle adjuster.

Now that the angle adjuster has been released I am very keen to try one. I've checked out where they are being sold and started trying to order one. I say trying because again it's turning into an ordeal *sigh*
Ok let's look at this as a challenge rather than an ordeal! Maybe that will keep my stress levels to a minimum.
So Amazon won't ship here. Not that they have them in stock you have to pre-order, but seriously Amazon. This is definitely the last time I will attempt to buy anything from you. I was told years ago how fantastic Amazon was, you get anything you want from them pffft! Every single time I've wanted to order from them they won't ship here. Usually they have the excuse it's too heavy. Well the angle adjuster weighs next to nothing so that can't be it this time.
Seem to be getting the same response from most suppliers in the US. They just don't want my business.
Apparently Diono are selling them direct from their website so that's the next stop. Oh why am I not surprised they've only been released in the US so far, and even Diono won't sell me one. Alright ,I'll cruise around the carseat.org forum and see where everyone's getting theirs from, maybe I can find one retailer that will ship to me here.
Whoa is that a pic of someone in NZ with adjuster? Yes! Omg where did they get it??? I sent them a personal message to see if they'd tell me. Or if they were guarding the secret with their life, because I thought they hadn't been released in NZ yet. But if they found a retailer in the US to ship to NZ then surely they'd ship here.
The nice poster on the forum tells me they contacted Diono NZ direct so I'm off to try that. When you go to the Diono website and try to order from there, they automatically put it through to the US site because They aren't available in NZ yet, but the US won't ship here. So here's hoping If I contact them directly via email I might get somewhere.

Woohoo!! They are going to send me an angle adjuster. I didn't know if it would work for me or against me, but I told them my story of being an Australian parent importing their car seat so I can ERF longer, and that no one in the US would ship one here. Now it's on it's way!!! YAY!!
Can you tell I'm a little excited? hehe They had some available in NZ for techs, for training and demonstration purposes and were able to find a spare :)
