RKeith Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm gonna order the new Macbook Air and because I'm planning to get the i7 version, I have no choice but to get it BTO online. They're not available yet in the stores here in LOS anyway. When I checked the Apple Store online (Thailand), it's listed as "pending Agency approval and won't be shipped til mid August. But when I changed country to Singapore and Malaysia, they're available (3 business days). So my question is, will it be possible to order using the Singapore or Malaysia online stores? Has anybody done this before? I'm using a Thai Visa card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negreanu Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 You cannot unless you have a delivery address to send it to in Singapore or Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKeith Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 You cannot unless you have a delivery address to send it to in Singapore or Malaysia. Interesting! Then I guess its doable. I can have it shipped to a student living in Penang. Thanks, Neg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call the apple store tell them order a CTO and fly airasia cheaply to pick it up. Some apple stores in HK might even have some CTO in stock. There is a more complicated way by using a company such as shipito.com in US or HK. Edited July 24, 2011 by negreanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also thinking of using the "Gifting" feature in the Apple Store; gifting it to my student in Penang. Hope it solves this credit card situation ^^ Edited July 24, 2011 by RKeith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewet88 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi, I have experience purchased Apple products (few iphone4) at Singapore Apple store using both Malaysia and Thai credit card. The billing address must be same as your credit card billing address. But the shipping address must be same as the country Apple store. Hope this info help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 ^^ Interesting, didnt know it would work with Thai credit cards too. In my experience a U.S. credit card works in any Apple store. As has been said, shipping address must be in-country though. I'd order it quickly as these machines are going to be hard to get for a while, they're selling like hotcakes. That's also likely the reason Thailand is getting them way late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunron13 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I tried the same thing when I ordered my iPhone through the Singapore site. Not only did you need a Singapore mailing address, but your credit card also had to have a Singapore address. Good luck, mine's on the way via family in the US.

janetdoe Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 You mentioned a student, do you work at an educational institute in Thailand? I was earlier in the year when ordering my MBP and used the Apple Education Store, saved myself a little less than 10K baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKLiving Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Depends on the declared customs value of course. But from what I gather laptops you only pay the VAT as they are import duty free. Edited August 9, 2011 by HKLiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
