gazasaurusu Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wil lthey ship to UK and what taxes would I need to pay, presumably just VAT, even with that, with the $ now worth about as much as a spent condom Mac hardware would be soooo much cheaper to have it sent over.

non sequitur Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 i doubt it, because theyre usually sticklers about that. however, you can probably buy it and ship it to any family or friend in the states and they could probably ship it to you. itll be a world cheaper.

Paradroid-888 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 And then you're very likely to get battered by Customs and Excise when they see the package come into the country. And if they hit you with import duty it'll work out more expensive than it would if you just bought a machine in the UK. Sad but true - for anything bigger than a DVD case they will normally look at the parcel and slap you with duty.

crocitto49 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 you'd be better off buying it from a dealer in the U.K. .. or finding one on eBay... but out of curiosity, why from the U.S. store and not a U.K. store?

boo50 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) order from US store to other countries isn't good idea because it will be always expensive shipping, because of overseas, and don't forget about custom duties. they differ from country to country, but all of them will cover difference in price, compare to US. i'm from Russia, and macs here are 50% more expensive vs US, and custom duties for any electronic goods are over 40% of original price. plus shipping and you'll get the same price as our local apple dealer, but w/o guarrantie and waiting for shipping, etc,etc.. so this is not good idea.
