you dont know the german BGS ... if you dont have a receipt for anything electronic that doesnt look like its 5 years old you are basically fucked. additional to the tax you have to pay you get a hefty fee because its treated as tax evasion. you can do a lot of stuff ... but not tax evasion.

Hmm .. This is expected though! The customs in developed countries are far more stringent . But I m not sure if this is targetted at European customers at all . Is the price difference between USA and Europe big enough for any one to try this service ?

But thats not the case in developing countries. Products priced at an affordable cost in USA , could be insanely expensive in developing countries.

  • MBP Retina 15", top of the line $2,499.00 in the us, 2,499.00€ ($3,327.94) in germany . its exactly the savings range that they are targeting

    • Wow ! That's huge, I did not expect such a big difference between prices in Germany and USA . Thanks for pointing this out -

      1. Are these due to local taxes in Germany ? 2. Is this price difference common in other parts of Europe as well ?
