Amazon Question...

... a question with a bit of a background story.
I do book covers for a UK publisher. The US publisher likes my work but doesn't want the same concepts as I do for the UK. So I do paperbacks for the UK and nice hardbacks for the US which are entirely different artworks.
Getting file copies of my own work off clients is always, without fail, like pulling teeth. The latest book I did for the US has been on sale for over two months now and I have still not seen it. I have given up asking if I can get copies of it. I ask clients patiently over and over again on weekly basis and remain nice, wording each request as though I am asking for the first time not the 150th. In the case of the US books I am giving up hope now.
So my question is...
- If I go to Amazon and order from the US, the hardback versions of my books, will I be sure to get the US hardback versions or will Amazon be 'smart' and locate the UK versions from the UK to send me instead?
I don't use Amazon, so I really don't know.
Thanks.

Err. Ask them.

if you order from Amazon.com. you will always get the US version

and if I were you I'd add on the cost of ordering a copy and getting it shipped from the US to your invoice.

^ Yeah, sadly its too late. The job was invoiced and paid for months and months ago. I find it really frustrating that I can't get to see my own work once its produced and yet at the same time I know that if I was a stressed out in-house designer with 15 titales to get into production every week I too would find it hard to find time to sort out file copies for all the illustrators and designers I was commissioning.
I can see it from both sides but damn I just wish I could get copies of my work without having to pay for them like a punter.
