    Hello dear enthusiasts,

    I'm planing on buying a G73JW/SW in the near future and i was wondering if anyone knows of any custom laptop shops that does Asus laptops in Europe because importing from the USA is a bit expensive.


    Thank you.

    How did you come to the conclusion that importing from the USA was expensive?

    I've just imported form the USA to the UK.

    The prices for any of the G series are extortionate compared to America.

    The tax's and stuff are really rather non-existant.

    If you have questions about importing from the USA, email [email protected], that's what I got mine from and everything has been hassle free and quick.

    Well lets see ... the price of the laptop around 1800 usd (either from GentcechPc or XoticPc) transport trough USPS 150 Usd, customs 0 but I pay VAT 24% thats 468 USD so a grand total of 2418 USD thats 1789 Eur.
    The stock g73sw sells in Germany for about 1800 eur so the price is about the same but the delivery time is much shorter and there are less chances for things to go bad during shipping. So thats why I was wondering if the stock prices are about the same than the custom prices would be similar as well without the hassle, I just couldn't find any European asus custom shop yet.
