s0nic_nz Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Ok im in a dilemma. The local prices down here in new zealand for powerbooks are ridiculous. so i was wondering if you guys/gals know of any reliable shops in the states that ship internationally. As far as im aware ill have to pay a gst of 12.5% when it comes down here so its gonna work out really cheap. Cheers :) it is cheaper for me to FLY to california AND BACK ANDbuy a 17' powerbook than it is to buy it locally... this is WITH a student discount. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdenike Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 cant you get like a po box in the states and have it forwarded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeR Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 cant you just get it from apple.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0nic_nz Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 nah i cant seem to buy it directly from apple.com and i think it would be far less hassle to buy it directly than to set up a po box etc. any links people ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
