Why US only? What difference would it be for you if another country is printed on the sticker?

Short answer: I really, really like simplicity. Slightly longer answer: Filling out the extra paperwork (customs forms etc) is a bit annoying and consumes extra time, which nowadays is in short supply for me for various reasons. For example, I wanted to post this ad (and several others I'll post soon) months ago but life has simply gotten too busy. If I were retired I'd be more than happy to try arranging shipping even outside our planet to the International Space Station ....but retirement is a few decades away, and by then a W530 might no longer be relevant (though no one can say for sure Fyi, in the last few years during periods when I had more free time, I did happily ship outside the US (e.g. Canada and Poland) . . . Anyway sorry to frustrate those who might really need/want this machine but I'm sure most people in modern society have had similar time constraints at some point and to some degree...
