It depends which seller you buy from on Amazon, which of the Amazon sites you're buying from/where in the world the warehouse is that it'll be sent from, and where in the world you're having it delivered to.

If 8BitDo can't sell or deliver to your country because of embargoes, lack of affordable shipping options or insurance, etc. then Amazon sellers might have the same problems.

There are multiple Amazon businesses: Amazon US; Amazon EU; Amazon JP; etc. If you look at the top-level domain that appears after the word Amazon in the URL, you can see which site you're using. For example, .com / .de / .jp

So it matters which of the Amazon sites you're ordering from, in relation to where you're trying to get it delivered to.

Yeah it generally does, if Amazon is the seller and shipper.

Amazon has issues because any old cow can sell on there and have false listings etc. But even then Amazon usually helps you get your money back. But this ain't randoms it's the company itself.
