    Has anyone every purchased a Surface Pro 7 in the USA and got it shipped to Ireland?

    Any ideas how this would be done?

    Are you purchasing it in a shop over there, or buying it online from here?

    Are you looking for parcel forwarding service like AddressPal USA or more if the Surface pro will have any USA/UK issues? (Power adapter will be 2pin 110v & warranty will be USA rather than EU)

    I plan to purchase it online while based in Ireland and try to get it shipped here.

    I wasnt aware of AddressPal USA. Can you envisage any tax issues? Or other problems?

    Its potential 300 cheaper in USA

    You will also certainty have to pay the import fees plus €10 admin fee on top of the €15.99 AddressPal fee.

    You wont have an EU warranty, so Microsoft may not cover you here if any issues.

    On the plus side, usually the charger would be an issue because of the 110 voltage, but the surface transformers are 100 to 240 input. So you will just need to change the plugtop to a new lead I think - IEC C7 type.
