Need help importing Razer Blade to Sweden

[Galarix]

Hello!!
I'm planning to buy Razer Blade, the 1080p version, but it's very problematic since Razer doesn't sell it in EU directly and therefore I need to import it.
So I'm wondering, what's the cheapest way to get it into my hands?

If the price goes over 2X the original, I will find another laptop  .

Maybe there are companies that ship stuff to EU, maybe a trustworthy LTT member

I wouldn't man. Keep in mind you might have to pay custom charges and if it goes bad you're in a world of shit, warranty-wise.

what is the import tax percentage? Its 25% here in Norway, in addition to any handling fees. The only economically effective way for me to get my blade was to get it used, off a dude that was willing to pay the import tax.

 

If it is 25% in sweden as well, it wont be double the price, but that expensive laptop will get a whole lot more expensive (something thats like 12000 kr will become more like 15000kr)

 

edit: you could get someone to bring it back physically (like open the box), and as brokencross said, warranty will be an issue, as their service centers are in California.

You're going to have to pay some form of custom charges if you use a company. If you get it shipped privately, it shouldn't be as bad. 

 

Let's assume it's $2000, along with $50 for shipping. (I feel I'm being optimistic). 

 

You're going to be spending Over $2500 in total, if you don't get insurance for it. At the very least, you'll be adding 25% to the price in taxes, and likely more in handling fees. You'll also need to consider that the warranty may not be valid outside of the US, or they will require you to send it back to the US if you have an issue.

And btw, there are some retailers in Europe still selling the 1080p Blade.

Check Amazon UK.

Yep, while the warranty is still active if you are outside the US, you will have to pay for shipping+ import taxes as their service center is in California.

If I buy it through Amazon UK the price is around 3000 dollars, is it worth it?
