Some possible reason for “This title isn’t available in your location” issue on Amazon Prime

If you are outside of the US, you will not be able to access the content. This will happen to subscribers who usually travel to other countries. If you have subscribed to Amazon Prime and moved to the UK for a short visit, you might not be able to access the content. This is clearly mentioned in their policy and you can’t raise a complaint.

So if you get this error while using a VPN tool, make sure that your current IP address is from USA itself. You can check it simply by doing a Google search.
