USA Components

[Dr.G]

My sisters boyfriend is in America at the moments and i was just wondering, Is it worth it for him to buy me some computer hardware there and bring it back with him?
How much cheaper will this route be? And is there a limit of what he can bring with him through the airport? Because i was thinking about a CPU,Graphics card and maybe a motherboard

Thanks,
Greylid

hmmm... my bet is not much cheaper. We are able to source some nice stuff here from the East at competitive rates. The dollar being stronger than us means they can afford to pay more.

at the end of the day you will have to be on the phone with him comparing live rates.

then you have to worry about safety in transporting it back in his luggage... and customs etc. A big schleppp.
