I would like know if every has already ship a computer from HK ?
I would like buy a mac book pro from apple, and they are damned less expensive in HK ! 3000RMB less expensive.
I thought maybe if I can arrange the seller he sends me a package from HK to mainland China, without writing on the package the content, I could get it without to have to pay the taxes.
Maybe it's a little risky ?
what do you think about it ?
also if you or one of your friend go to HK or US recently, or have good opportunities in Dalian to buy cheaper, then don't hesitate to contact me !
Thank you very much !
Regards

If you reveive the pak\ckage by EMS or UPS like this kind of famous delivery, I think no need write content, but if you recive it by the local delivery company, I think it is the risk of you and your computer.For the law , you must pay the tax of computer.
I think no body go to HK in these days, everyone was busy, so you can choose the EMS or UPS to send the package.I think it is the safe to you.

If I choose this way I have better to buy the computer directly in Dalian, with the tax and the shipping cost I have the same price as in Dalian.
I know for the law I have to pay the tax, everywhere we have to pay the tax, but if a friend go to HK it can make me save a lot of money. That's why I asked.
(And please, don't try to make me think every body pay the tax and want pay them ^^)

My computer is from Hong Kong (I saved 8,000 RMB doing it this way). It is better to purchase your computer in Hong Kong for many reasons (I'll share two).
Mac, in the States, gives you an international warranty, but most computers sold in China only have a national warranty. If it has a problem while you are traveling in Korea, for example, you will have to take it back to a Chinese service center to fix it. Because Hong Kong is an international city, the warranties on just about all the computers sold there are international (Macs have the international warranty).
Another reason is because of the price. Most products escape the taxes and duties imposed on Chinese imports. Now, to get the computer at the low Hong Kong price you need to purchase it yourself while you are visiting there or have someone that you know in Hong Kong purchase it for you. If you try to purchase is here via credit card they won't send it...they've got the Mac Store here.
Sending the machine from Hong Kong to China is easy and cheap. The previous post mentioned using EMS. Many people that I know have sent computers through EMS without trouble. It is much less expensive than UPS or FedEx.
If the person takes your computer and sends it from Shenzhen or Guangdong the price will be even lower than sending it from Hong Kong. You can always wire the money to the person in Hong Kong or give it to them when you see them again.
