Is it possible that i get free shipping this laptop from US to UK for $550? or any better idea, i never buy anything from any online store before.

Thanks for watching this thread.

 

Unfortunately, there will be import duty to pay when buying things from the states which will bump the price up significantly. Also, Amazon don't ship electronics goods to the UK - so that's show stopper too .

 

Thanks for your reply. very informative forum.

 

It's so annoying, computers are much cheaper in the US then where I live and when I bought my laptop I went through amazon and ebay and found some really good prices, but the deal breaker wasn't so much the transport fees but the import taxes and extra charges I had have to pay.

 

You have to watch out the voltages are different,this may require purchasing a new power pack/charger.

The laptop INTERNAL POWER WILL BE THE SAME

 

I have come to the realization in all my years that the phrase "you get what you pay for" is pretty darn accurate most of the time, and I have always had issues going with Acer for this reason. I did give in, once, and it turned out to be a bust, and shortly thereafter traded it in and got a different brand, so I guess I never really gave them a fair shake, but oh well. Thanks for sharing.
