Accessing the US MAC site from a UK computer

I used to be able to access maccosmetics.com from my UK computer, but now all I get is this silly message-

Are they stopping us UKers looking at the American site. I'm going to NYC and was wanting to look up the address of the pro store, plus look at the cost of stuff over there.

Is it an Estee Lauder thing? Before DW Light came out here, I tried to look it up on the US site and got a similar message

No I can still access it. Clear your cookies, browsing history and temp internet files and try again

No, its a redirection problem more likely.
Which browser are you using?
Clearing the cache like someone suggested is a good idea.

I used to have the same problem accessing the US site when using Firefox, though it worked with Internet Explorer. However, now they both work fine.

No problems here, and generally Virgin Media causes me all sorts of problems! Hope you can find a way to get onto it.

I can not get on through any other browser, other than AOL

Works fine for me. But you can check for Pro stores on MAC Pro

Yes, it's doing that to me too. Strted about 2-3 weeks ago. Tried clearing cookies and files including offline files - made no difference at all.

Anyone got any ideas?

The Abercrombie website does that it automatically re-directs you to the UK site even if you go to .com . Apparently they've done it on purpose so maybe MAC are doing that now?

Its working for me to.

the bobbi brown website always re-directs me to the uk site... does this happen to anyone else?

When using Firefox, I'm now redirected to maccosmetics.co.uk but I can still get to the US site using Internet Explorer - there's definitely been a recent change.
