Shipping the ASUS G73JH to Thailand

Hi y'all,

I had a post in the official forum as well but I figured I'd ask here since I'm perhaps much more likely to get a wider opinion over here

Actually, I've been looking at a number of resellers in USA for the A1 model but none of them ship internationally - let alone Thailand (understandably I suppose)

Therefore, I was wondering if someone could kindly suggest me the cheapest and most suitable method to get one of those models here (I prefer A1 but I can live with A2 as well though)

Also, I'm not too sure how I would actually get the laptop to say, USPS, FedEx, etc (assuming I ship through them) so I was hoping I could gather some information regarding that from the resellers too (GenTech, PowerNoteBooks, PortableOne, etc - they are all great and I'm open to business with all of them ^^)

Finally, I was also hoping to gather some info. regarding the custom duty that I may have to pay to import the laptop in Thailand...that's why I was wondering if anyone has any previous experience with shipping a laptop here and had to pay the custom charges - if any

Thanks again for all your help guys! God knows what I would've done if I hadn't caught up with this forum hehe

Cheers!

 

Ken will solve your worries, he knows the best methods to avoid certain extra charges.

Good luck and welcome to the G73 Club you will love it !

 

cheers mate!

here's hoping I can join this fantastic club as soon as possible!

 

for international usps is going to be somewhere around $100 i'm guessing. i've shipped smaller heavy boxes to se asia and they were around $50, including one with a dell mini inside. if you don't have a hookup just use usps and yes, my friend did have to pay duty taxes.

 

HAve you tried dennedusa, I bought my g73 from their online store, they ship internationally and they accept international credit cards, I was going to ask them to chip the laptop to Mexico, but I decided it was better if a friend brought it to me, to avoid taxes and problems...Saved between $500-$600.

 

XoticPC ships internationally...

AFAIK, with standard USPS shipping, you won't get anything below $150 to Asia. I tried getting a quote for a Sager NP8760 to be shipped to Australia, and the shipping would have been about $300. Then you have to factor in import charges and tax, etc.

 

I have been living in Phuket for 8 months now and I got my g73 from Singapore, even combined it with a visarun. Simply ordered it from this webshop Home and went to pick it up a week later.

Good luck!

edit: dont take the risk of have it shipped to Thailand. You could be taxed some ridiculous amount up to 60%

 

Ken Lee of GenTechPC is one of the great US reseller if you ask me. You can ask Ken Lee as he is pro in this matter.

Got mine shipped for 149€ Express to Slovenia (got here in 3 work days) from GenTech. I think theyre the cheapest youre going to find.

 

@o4584 hmm thanks for that info...looks like I'm better off ordering the laptop in Singapore rather than having it shipped here...such a shame, I won't be traveling to Singapore for atleast another month (for my graduate studies - which is what I was hoping to get the laptop for)

cheers for the help everyone!

 

are you sure they're not available in Thailand yet?

 

well from what I saw, I couldn't find them...then again, its not like ASUS has a lot of branches here that I can go and look at...but yeah, I really doubt the laptop has already showed up here yet

 

its not out here and most likely never will be.

 

You should check the local customs procedures first before ordering the unit. Some countries allows tax exemption for students & foreigners. I'm in Malaysia and we have tax exemption for all notebooks and computers. I've ordered my unit from Gentech and Ken Lee did a great job assisting me. My unit should arrive by today and the shipping cost is USD 149 to Malaysia.
