Question

Hi. Hopefully these are easy to answer:  
  
1) We have 2 branch offices in the UK that I need to import data from into S3. Can I order a snowball to Office 1, do an import, unplug it, drive it down to Office 2, do an import and then ship it back from Office 2?  
  
2) Our EC2 instances, and S3 buckets are all in the eu-west-1 (Ireland) region. Can I have a snowball from eu-west-1 shipped to the UK, and then ship it back so that the data is in the correct region for S3?  
Thanks!

Accepted Answer

I was wrong on #1, I've edited it with the correct information. Yes, it can be moved. So yes and yes!

Answer

EDITED TO CORRECT #1

Hi there,  
  
1) Yes, minor correction, you can move devices once you receive them, you just can't move the\ devices m outside of the the EU (or just 'country' if for a country not in the EU) where it was received.  
2) Yes, you can have a device shipped from eu-west-1 to the UK (currently). From the docs "For data transfers in the EU regions, we only ship devices to the EU member countries listed following: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the UK."  
  
Hope that helps!
