Ok to cut a long story, I now have the option of buying an MBP stateside. I was going to order/had ordered my 15" MBP but that's another story.
So my question is this. Has anyone purchased an MBP & managed to get it through customs easy enough? Did you keep it in the original packaging or did you remove?
I have a best friend going over shortly who works with macs for a living and is prepared to take the gamble. Another issue is it not being bto unless I manage to get a family member to order/purchase & my friend then collect.
The saving is significant. Around £650! That = a Vertex 3 120gb in main bay & vertex 2 180gb in the optibay.
I also will have to wait around 6 weeks. I have the money now to buy or do I wait, make a killing & take the risk of paying import duty?
I hate this sh*t!
