orbitmic Wow, I did not know such a service excisted! I will definately search around to see if they offer similar service in the US. I doubt they do here in Norway though. A few years back it was a huge difference between sending items with or without a trackingnumber. Fortunately it is a lot better now

That said, I am sure after tax the price difference between EU and USA will still be significant.

Well if i would have been stopped, the total amount I would have payed included the taxes and customs would be about the same as I would pay for a brand new one here in Norway.
The Mac is $2000 in the US. Then I would have to pay 25% taxes ($500) and then 11% in customs on top of that ($275) The total price would now be $2750. In Norway the list price is about $3000, so $250 in savings, are definately not worth the hassel..!
