    So here is the deal.

    I recently moved to the Netherlands. I have a world debit card from the united states that I have been using for many purchases here. Alienware will only ship to the cards billing address. I can't change or add a secondary address on my card. So I have like no way of paying. I don't have a bank here. So how can I pay these people? I can't wire transfer either. :(

    I think UPS has a new "change destination while en route" feature. Their TV commercials have been talking about it, and I saw something about it on their website.

    You could look into that option, or open up a bank account over there. I know that will take time to get a new card and will probably suck waiting that long.

    Did you try calling them directly and telling them your situation?

    It's either u pay using US credit card and do international shipping or do international credit card (which you have to call Alienware to order your system, they will give you a form and I suggest u contact them to understand better about that) and do international shipping.

    you cannot do international shipping from the US site. I tried doing that and asked AW US for it but they re-directed me to the UK site which does have the option of worldwide international shipping. But for that then again you will need to register your shipping address on your credit card for it to work. As mentioned in the previous posts best would be that you call up AW UK and ask them. Maybe they have a way out for you.
