Hello
Family member is coming home from Singapore soon. They have offered to pivk up an iPad for me. Would it be stupid to refuse? The cost is $650Singspore dollar which roughly converts to €400 I think. Is there an aftercare issue and also is there tax to be paid on bringing it into the country. It would be purchased from apple store or licensed reseller. Any and all info appreciated.
