This must have been a work in progress, because at time of writing I could still use my UK store link without issue, then lo today discovered it now jumps to the US store despite that. Thank you Dopefiend for your service as changing it to GBP did seem to fix the problem, but of course will have to be super vigilant from now on (which wont be fun when they unexpectedly drop 500 limited units only on the UK store!)petshopgrrl wrote: Fri 29 May 2026, 7:36 amDopeFiend wrote: Thu 28 May 2026, 3:57 pm Noticing something with the merch store. It's rather unfortunate.
It seems there are 3 different web stores, with varied items. Essentially there's the good one with everything and 2 lesser web stores.
(snip!)
It's only after installing a VPN that I can access to the full range of items.
Though I've since noticed, we can just change the currency to access the complete range and in turn the https://shop.petshopboys.co.uk/ link.
So they've made some changes and now it's even harder to access the merch. I'm assuming those in the UK where the links were tested have no issue. For me in Australia I see placeholder "Example product title" t-shirts which can't be purchased.
What a mess!
Basically, just change the currency to GBP £ if you're outside the UK.
And if you're getting the Warner store, use the updated shortlink or go directly to https://shop.petshopboys.co.uk/
It's a pity it's like this, because a lot of people won't figure this out.![]()

Thank you for your service! The business of changing the currency to GBP is a new development then, because that one's been stumping me for weeks - I could never get out of WMG US hell and had to use the direct UK link. But yes, it's still a work in progress.
Following the Annually order debacle, the US store had the audacity to write and ask what I thought of their customer service. I was not rude... but I was very honest.

By the way, have viewers in the UK noticed that the BBC is using the Obscure font prominently in its World Cup coverage?
