Carleton College restricts some Amazon purchases, however Amazon sometimes applies this restriction to items that individuals and departments can certainly purchase for themselves. For example: adapters, keyboards and mice, and some computer cables may show up as Restricted when in fact people are welcome to purchase these things on their own.
Please do NOT bypass these restrictions if you are ordering a computer or something similar. Please talk to ITS if you need to purchase high level technology.
