    Hello all, first time poster, long time lurker. I'm currently living in Israel, and my very old laptop (Toshiba Satellite from like 4 years ago, lol) just doesn't do it for me anymore. I'm looking to purchase an M57Ru, but I can't seem to find any online sellers that are based in or around Israel (well, maybe the EU, but the dollar/shekel....so weak....).

    Has anyone ordered online and was able to have it shipped to a country outside of the normal areas? That is, with NA retailers (RJ Tech, XoticPC), has anyone been able to have it shipped to places like, South America, other areas of the Middle East, India, etc. etc.?

    If not, I guess I could order it online through NA resellers and just have it shipped to my parents' house in the States, and have them ship it to me. But I don't know about import taxes/tariffs that Israel has in place.

    Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi mate! :) I live in Bahrain, near you. I've already ordered from XoticPC! :D It still has to arrive though, I've just only ordered it....

    So, they can ship to our neck of the woods? How much did you have to pay for shipping? Insured? I studied in Australia for a bit, had a good mate from Bahrain, was good at volleyball. Grats on the laptop, use it in health!

    Yeah.. there are two international shipping options.
    1. USPS @ $223.
    2. UPS @ $289 with order tracking (the recommended service).
    USPS as known on these forums have had caused problems in the past. I myself went with UPS, turns out to still be a much better deal than what is available in Bahrain, at those crazy prices!!
