I am American, but I live in Japan. I have been searching for a particular T-Fal cooking pot with a particular type of glass lid that used to be available for sale in Japan, but is not any longer.

Doing a broad web search for it, I found it still for sale on Amazon UK. The company selling them even offers to ship to Japan. The problem is when I try to make an account I am blocked because of “suspicious activity.”

I think if I had an account, I would be able to use my own payment methods to buy it and have it shipped to me. Can anyone living in the UK help me?

    I can’t help with the account, but have you tried searching for Tefal? It’s an old brand that used to sell kitchenware in the UK, and is pronounced the same way as T-Fal. I’m wondering if there’s been a spelling mistake somewhere along the way :)

      Yeah, they’re definitely the same thing

      In the United States, Tefal is marketed as T-fal.[6] This is to comply with DuPont’s objection that the name “Tefal” was too close to DuPont’s trademark “Teflon”.[1] The T-fal brand is also used in Canada[7] and Japan.[8][9]
