Note that shipping out of the US is often an exclusion ground for MP SHOPPING benefits. Additionally, using an IP that doesn't match the ship-to country is a good way to get caught in non-sophisticated "fraud" filters, especially if the IP belongs to a consumer VPN service. So ship to your US address whenever possible.
helpful - thanks!
