Reservation of several Apple products before trip to a country.

Hi, if I want to visit some foreign country where there is official Apple Store and I want to ensure that needed product’s are in stock during my trip, how I can reserve these products to buy? MacBook Pro with US keyboard in European country, e.g. Italy, and other products. I don’t want to face situation when I traveled to a country and could not buy what I want…

Thanks in advance for help and tips.

The only way to "reserve" a product from Apple is to see if the online Apple Store in the relevant country offers a local pickup option and if so place your order through the online store. An Apple Store will not otherwise "reserve" any product. Note that the Apple Store may not accept a credit card from outside the country of sale, so you should ask.


Or contact an authorized Apple reseller and ask them what your options might be.


Whether you can buy a MacBook with a US keyboard outside of the US I don't know; you'll need to see what options are available when you go to order.


Regards.

if you can not buy a US keyboard, the UK keyboard is similar, but not quite identical. All keyboards have English glyphs in addition to local glyphs, else you would not be able to type Apple.com


If you are attempting to buy in the US, listed prices quoted are lower than what you must actually pay. The additional charge is strictly non-refundable State Sales Tax. For delivery in New York City, taxes add 8.875 percent to the listed prices, which will be reflected on the sales invoice.


A computer new in box may be taxed as NEW goods when re-entering your home country. A working computer carried with you MAY be considered your tool, and may not taxed as new. Check your local regulations.
