Yes, if you order them at the same time and make sure you select to ship at the same time from the Amazon end. If not, bundle box will repackage into one for you if you request it.

Ordering as described seems perfectly easy but wouldn't a purchase via ebay (as per the link below) be cheaper and even easier, with the seller doing all the nitty gritty for you?
I know there's the trust issue, but you have the Feedback to go on and you are protected by Paypal.
You can choose which model to go for.

Looking forward to advice

Maybe I have got a suspicious mind, but since the Paperwhite hasn't been released yet, even in America, how did they manage to get their hands on some?

As a semi-pro seller (for a charity) on eBay i wouldn't recommend using it for items like this- as well as the fact it's not been released yet in the US yet and so will be on a delay from the eBay seller there is, as other people have said the hassle of customs fee's. The delivery as well will hike up the price somewhat too- and if anything went wrong with the kindle you would have to send it back to your seller, not i believe Amazon which would have to be sent my a tracked shipping means, which gets to be very expensive and further increase your costs.

Using Lou's method sounds much safer, and bundlebox are great.

E bay is fantastic for some items, but i really wouldn't buy high price electrical goods on there!

I have ordered it. But not sure it's come out right as it came to $147 total. Am I missing something out?

Yes, Lou. Sorry forgot to add that bit. It came to $147 from Amazon. I am sure I've done it wrong.

That probably sounds about right - it's $129 for the Kindle, X for shipping + 6% US Sales Tax

RE: How to order a Kindle Paperwhite from the UK (imported from US)

it's showing on my Kindle account. So, and tell me if I am wrong. When it's delivered to BundleBox, they'll check the name and then post it to me? Or do I need to tell them a package is coming for me?

Sorry for the questions, I just want to make sure I make no errors.
