| 1409558 | 2015-10-07 23:56:00 | I want one. The NZ prices are/are going to be ridiculous based on the cost of the Surface 4 and the already released overseas costs of the Surface Book. What pitfalls do I need to be aware of if I decide to have a friend ship one over? |

At customs the guy asked what I'd bought and if I purchased it new. I told him and he waved me through. No duties or taxes to pay. Two friends also recently purchased new Asus laptops in the states, they just threw away the packaging in the USA and bought them back with their luggage no problems.They would have had 2 or 3 laptops each. No questions asked. |

What pitfalls do I need to be aware of if I decide to have a friend ship one over? the prices are not ridiculous? you need to be comparing apples with apples.

The biggie though -- you'll more than likely get stung at customs / Tax. tax is the price we pay to live in a civil society. that tax pays for schools, police, DPB, dole, hospitals, old age pension No one likes paying tax, but its a fact of life |
