That depends entirely on whether or not they would allow it, but I figured they would let you, that's why I made a ballpark estimate of $200 to ship it that way.

Lol? Customs cost for 50+lb order in excess of value of $1600 (I have a fulltower case, and a lot of I/O shit) Plus since the parts are fragile some would have to be shipped separately you're looking at may 5-6 boxes. Plus, it's going by plane, not boat, I'm not waiting 3 months for my computer. You think I'm illwitted to think it costs that kind of money to ship something commercially? EDIT: Actually for giggles I calculated on UPS what it would cost to ship one large box that could hold everything I'd send with my computer. I was illwitted, it wasn't $200, it was $1200, for five days later lol. GG, Jazzy. How much would the laptop cost to ship on UPS? The one you have?

I have a regular laptop weighing in at 3-4lbs, a gaming laptop doesn't weigh more than 8 or so if its heavy duty, let's say 10lbs in all for that third party cooling pad to put under it. That's still 1/6th the weight, and it can be transported in your carry on. You wouldn't have to worry about shipping it with an extra fee like you would a desktop and making sure its secured with padding. Stop being so contentious, its sad. UPS says $350 for shipping a 10lb box, same exact location, but instead of shipping it could be in my backpack for free. GG again Jazzy.

If you think that you should get a laptop over a desktop because you can save money on shipping costs, then go ahead. But if you want to save money and not make a silly purchase, don't buy a _gaming_ laptop.
