International shipping online

[neilm]

I'm from the UK (n.ireland) and looking to build a new PC, although the problem is USA has alot of top products that are cheaper compared to here.
Is there any online web companies that is very recommended by you all, that will do international orders?

Note: I'm new here, and very sorry if this question has been asked * amount of times.

Thanks in advance!

This is a tough one. International shipments are a big pain in the butt for both the buyer and the seller, so, most of the good companies won't do them. Heck, a lot of them won't even ship to Canada. If you add on duties, shipping, and the fact that the part might be stuck in customs for weeks, it usually appears to be better to shop locally, even if the initial prices are slightly higher.

I'm just sick of the overpriced market over here, I mean.. if i paid for parts online (uk based), and compared it to a us based company, then you'd be able to get more top of the range products. It's even worse for retail stores here, like PC World, Dixons etc.

Welcome to TechIMO neilm!

I actually wait until I travel to the US ( usu twice a year )and pick up parts, because the international shipping thing is such a bind.

To give an idea to others,of cost difference, my last purchase was $130 something for 2 cards, the only UK dealer I found who supplied them started at £300.00 Per Card!

When you look at the math, the difference is vast. But alas, there appears to be no-one interested in international shipping.

Maybe I should start a business................
