WTB: Thinkpad x260

[Michau]

I am interested in buying a x260 but the Thinkpad Shop ships only to US and I am based in Europe. I am looking for a help of some reputable forum member to purchase the computer and re-ship to me, of course I would pay for this convenience.

I am looking for this configuration:

You should try to contact with one of the companies that specialize in shipping goods from the United States to countries around the world. But still I'd recommend to reconsider this option - beside product and shipping price there's duty and tax factor that significantly increases final price. And I really doubt that anyone will take a risk and send you an package abroad with understated value of the goods in it to avoid additional costs. Unless there's friend of yours or member of your family who travels between USA and Poland and who could pack it up in his luggage (which is still illegal) I'd recommend to monitor local auction portal for an UK outlet products. That's your best option to lower final price.

I know re-shipping companies who send goods outside the US but the wording on the Lenovo order page strongly suggest that they would cancel orders when an address is provided for such company.

I am aware of VAT and duties when importing goods and I do not expect anybody to undervalue the package. Even when factoring in these costs, the laptop is still at least 30% cheaper than what is sold in Europe.

Are you still looking for an x260? I have one that has slightly lower specs than the ones you are looking for.

Perhaps PM @BillMorrow

He also offers;

6. In the case of any who are in need of an escrow holder, I will do that for a fee of $50 + any postage or other costs.

Yes, Thinkpad prices in Europe are crazy. You might want to look on eBay, some more reasonable deals there. Pick one with IWS. I don't know what current prices for US-sold X260's are, but there are some Canadian and US sellers selling new X260's on eBay.

On the SSD thing you want to just replace that yourself.
