Tips Banderolka / / December 19, 2019
It's no secret that Apple's technology, and in particular, the company's laptops, to buy much more favorable in the US than anywhere else. Today, on the example of MacBook Air, we will explain exactly how to do it best!
Air line is considered the benchmark among ultrabooks and needs no special introduction. Therefore omit technical characteristics of the device and proceed directly to the purchase process, in during which we will reveal to you a number of nuances that avoid unnecessary problems and circumvent the pitfalls.
Purchase
1. First, remember, Apple brand store in the US is fundamentally does not send orders to addresses intermediaries and even service "Shopping Help" is powerless. But it does not matter - we have an interesting alternative!
2. using the service pricegrabber.com We are looking for the most attractive offers outside the Apple Store, and find out what the best prices are now waiting for a buyer on Amazon.
Here are the best offers on Amazon:
- MacBook Air 11 128 GB: 949$
- MacBook Air 11 256GB: 1139$
- MacBook Air 13 128 GB: 1044$
- MacBook Air 13 256 GB: 1234$
Note - this is even more profitable than what we have seen in branded Apple store.
3. We look at the delivery option: "Item can be shipped only within the U.S." - laptop deliver only the US, but it's free. For delivery to the home use the services banderolku.
It makes sense to buy the same time and a few accessories. In our area they are significantly more expensive. Saving even on them, we defend ourselves part of the cost of delivery.
Here's what you can watch in addition to a laptop:
- AirPort Extreme 802.11n for $ 159, or AirPort Extreme Base Station $ 199.
- Time Capsule 2 TB last sample for $ 240, or Time Capsule 2 TB this year $ 299.
- Apple USB Superdrive for $ 79, and Apple Magic Mouse for $ 67.
4. The main thing - do not get carried away and control the total cost of purchases. One premise of the goods should be no more than 1,000 euros. Otherwise we will not be able to take advantage of CPCR Express, but still have to pay customs duty.
forwarding
If you already have Banderolkin address in the US, then you already know what to do next, and you can safely skip this section.
And if the United States addresses you do not, then it's time to get it. It only takes about a minute.
1. To start By registering with banderolku. When registration is required to indicate your real name in Latin.
2. A minute later, we have finished a US address.
Here is its interpretation, so as not to make a mistake when placing your order:
- 20049 - Number of building
- SW 112th Ave - Street
- Qwintry Suite ### - "flat" (then encrypted your ID)
- Tualatin - town
- OR, 97062 - state (Oregon) + zip code
- phone 858-633-6353 - phone
3. Out orders, we indicate as delivery address obtained by just address.
4. We wait until the goods brought to the warehouse. Then, through personal study, give the command to pack purchases in one parcel, and send it to our Russian address.
As the method of delivery chosen CPCR Express as when sending a normal USPS Mail, Apple-Soup are not insured, and send these packages is not recommended without insurance!
Cost of delivery
Shipping cost can be estimated on calculatorKnowing the approximate weight of the goods in the package and the total cost (for insurance purposes). For example, assume that the notebook with packaging weighs about 2.5 kg, 1 kg plus add on accessories and packaging materials.
Together with all the additional costs, as well as the registration of insurance for $ 1200 and sent via CPCR Express, the price for banderolku services will be:
In fact, this amount will vary slightly in one direction or another, depending on the exact weight goods from the packaging, and we have chosen the options (such as can be further pasted parcel security-tape). But would not have to pay more - there are no hidden fees in banderolku not.
A substantial share of delivery cost of insurance, but it is not recommended to save her. Especially because Banderolkina insurance from Global Green is valid not only in the case of loss of parcels in transit, but in the case of damage or theft of the contents.
Total
As a result, even though the cost of shipping with insurance, we managed to save well, given the difference in laptops and accessories prices.
And finally I would like to add: buy on the internet properly, use the rules of safe shopping whether in Russia or do you do it abroad.
Enjoy the shopping!
