losworld Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A friend wants me to bring an Acer laptop from the U.S. but I'm not sure if it is much different in price. I have a good idea of the U.S. prices but where can I find competitive Thai pricing online for an Acer laptop? thanks in advance for any assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine6 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My bet is it would be cheaper in the US. There's a big import tariff/duty in Thailand. This is why they can't know you are bringing it in to leave there. Can't your friend just go to a shop and give you a few models prices to compare? Then you'd know if they fall high, low, or depends.

britmaveric Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Cheaper in yankland, plus the specs likely to be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surface Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 around 30% cheaper in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 i do agree, a lot better for the same price in the states or europe. the laptop will be free of tax if you friend takes it with him, be sure to remove the box so it'll look like his personnal laptop and will pass customs without problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ndela Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Here are some online thai shops where you can have a look, about competitive pricing I don't know, everything seems to be cheaper in Pantip Plaza in Bangkok since they can get the products quite a bit cheaper than the online shops.

dvdcm Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thai friends visited while I was in the States last month. Each one went home with some sort of computer purchase. The 30% figure sounds on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
