    European guys

    My wife wants to get her sister a laptop as a b-day present. Her sister is in Belarus. My wife doesnt want to buy one in the US and ship it. She is worried it wont get to her sister. Do you know of any websites we could buy one there and have it shipped to her?

    Komplett.ie I assume would go there but not 100% the best would be ask any eastern europeans on here or I can ask some of em that I'm friends with over here where they get their gear off the net.

    No bother, I'll be asking them tomorrow. But you do know electronics are generally cheaper over in the US than here. All they need is to send it via registered post and insure it and if it turns up broken get them to replace it. Also make sure you put present on it so her sis don't get charged VAT etc for it being a NON EU item.

    she is worried about it getting taken or sitting in customs.
    Her friend sent an i-phone and its being processed for 3 months now. and the insurance wont pay cause its in customs

    I dunno what you mean by that. But lets say he was dealing with an Italian or Germany or any other country in the EU that don't speak english as their first language I would imagine it could get complicated to try and explain the above to them without them understanding it. That's all I was getting at.

    Just google computer sellers in her area and search their sites for the laptop and software having it shipped to her address since it will be local to her no customs.

    Amazon probably has a site there also.

    My friend in the US sent a Camera to France... And got it insured for an extra $10.. Well when it got delivered, the person in France had to pay the France insurance fee and that was $130(american).. So dont get insureance.. not worth it.. And besides the US insureance only covers till it leaves the US anyway.. What a waste for a $200 camera..
