    Hi guys,
    I'm not sure where to post this (move it if it's in the wrong section please)

    I'm looking to buy an OCZ whitebook barebone and 2GBx2 rams from newegg

    however, they do not accept any payment from international source( I'm from Thailand) I have paypal but they said they only accept paypal with the US issued credit card with US mailing address.

    So, I'm asking if anyone has any idea on how to deal with this problem?
    I'm also opening myself to proxy if anyone is willing to help(not to scam) me.


    btw here is the link to my item

    :)

    Thank You NBR folks

    According to Newegg, they take:

    "Pre-paid Company Check, Personal Check, Cashier's Check or Money Order (Note: All Prepaid Orders, including Cashier's Checks, take longer to process because they must first be cleared with the bank) "

    They just don't take credit cards or PayPal from international sources.

    So you can use a cashier's check or money order. It will just take longer to clear.

    Boo to Newegg. ;)

    So you could pay them via cashier's check/MO and have the product shipped to a US address of a trusting member and then shipped to you.

    Or find another distributor that ships to or is located in Thailand.

    Hey thank you guys for the replies

    I'm aware that they do not ship internationally, I do have an aunt living in the US so the shipping to Thailand part can be done through her, But I don't want to trouble her with the payment stuff since shipping it to Thailand for me is already a quite enough trouble already.

    Btw what is money order? I had done live chat with a rep from newegg, and she says the only way left for me is to find someone in the US to buy it for me. She said they cannot have anything to do with non-US.


    :(

    alright then.

    if anyone is willing then please PM me, we'll discuss about this. I'll most likely be using paypal to pay for it, since it's safer for both "you" and me

    MyUs offers a very convenient, yet pricey service. I found another company that offers very competitive service at a much lower price. Check out Shipito . You can purchase from any retailer in the U.S. and they will forward it to you for a small fee. I provided their link for you above. Hope it helps.

    Ironically, we're also distributing the OCZ laptops from Singapore into South East Asia as well. Let us know of whatever query you need as we are all waiting for the update of the graphics card in this whitebook.
