Shipping MacBook pro touchbar 13" from USA

Hey guys, I want to buy a 2018 MacBook Pro touchbar 13", but here it costs 2400$ compared to 1800$ in the US. There are some websites that have discounts occasionally (like Christmas soon) that will drop the price to 1600$. Do you know any good shipping companies, and is it worth shipping it or will I end up paying same as here because of taxes and shipping?(There's no way taxes and shipping will cost 600$ I hope). Thanks.

Not worth it if you cannot find someone that can bring it for you from the US. The customs and taxes will be huge.

You will end up paying a huge custom / taxes bill (+ shipping) I would go with MrClass offer I were you.

Thanks for the offer! I have a cousin who lives in the US, I talked to her yesterday she said she might come in January and she can bring me one from there, do you have any idea if she has to unbox it to bring it with her without paying taxes?

No need. Let her just put it in her luggage. They won't ask any questions, and even if they do, she can simply say it's a gift.

I'd easily do this. You never know at the airport. Just have her unbox it and put it in a laptop bag with all it's accessories and everything. The box is useless anyway. Better safe than sorry
