    Hi guys,
    stumbled upon the forum just recently after looking for information on Dell laptops. Well I have been trying to place an order for one at the Dell outlet, and the prices there are truly stellar!

    problem is: I'm in Singapore.
    Dell outlet is refusing to accept my non-US credit card, and they have flatly refused orders from the Singapore-based freight-forwarders (that have an address in the US, and will re-ship to me)

    so my only solution, I need someone to help me make the purchase from the Dell Outlet, and receive the laptop for me and reship to my freight forwarder in OHIO.

    This will take a little time to coordinate, so only for those with at least an hour or two to spare. drop me a PM if you're able to help please! my sincerest gratitude in advance!

    Umm i dont think this is legal. Sorry, but i think this thread needs to be closed. It would be breaking the TOS of dell by shipping it to you. There is a checkbox spot that says you need to agree that you will not ship the item out of the country when purchasing.

    Gotta adhere by the rules here :)

    actually, no that's not entirely true. you're right there's the checkbox, but you can tick "yes, you will export it" and simply declare it's for home use on the next page! they didn't say you can't export it, you just can't export it for commercial sale elsewhere.

    it's not breaking any rules..

    From the forum rules:
    I suggest creating a new thread to find another laptop that will meet your expectation(and that is availble in Singapore or that is from a company that ships oversees) instead of going this route(you will be faced with challenges like warranty issues, scammers, and custom issues).
