    You can have someone from the USA have it delivered via a good shipping company. Hey I have to find a way to ship 1 of these babies from the USA to the Philippines. It's extremely difficult but if you know someone, it can be done. You just need to look for a good shipping company.

    How about DHL? They have a long history in international shipping of high-value items. When I was in east Africa years ago I was getting ready to ship major equipment back to the US, and they claimed they could absolutely handle it, but I decided I could manage without the cost and didn't do it in the end.

    Can`t you just have your friend use one of those underground tunnels that drug cartels and illegal immigrants use everyday for illegal purposes? :D

    Well bro, I work for UPS and thats how i got mine shipped to me in Panama. A friend ordered it for me and shipped it via UPS to me... I even got to see the laptop get unloaded from the airplane. UPS got insurance .40 cents for every 100 dollars so 8 dollars to insure my 2000 laptop... + the actual shipping charge, not abad deal.
