What's to prevent me from having a relative send me a new computer from the States?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:your tags had all your answers. make sure to get insurance and to declare the contents and price. You might want to look into what the tax burden will be. Also, not sure what the support contract looks like. In NZ, there may be gov’t mandates on the warantee that apple needs to provide. Stateside, you get a whopping 90 days warantee unless you pay another 300 bucks to extend it to 2 years.. you may have your legislators to thank for requiring that. In short: when you factor in shipping, shipping insurance, tarrifs and warantee (check with your local laws) and also the fact that a us bought machine may not have a warantee down there… will you really be saving enough to make it worth your while? edit:more personable
