not sure in Germary, don't know if they have VAT, but UK is 100% more expensive than US.
Why don't u bring your PC with u? u can claim it is used PC... Normally if I ask someone shipping sthg. to UK, I will ask them to put gift/ sample on the parcel to avoid tax. But I did not shipping very often, haven't experience of being tax. but that is in UK, not in germary. Finding The World's Best Hardware Prices: Shop Globally |
