can i order macbook air from official apple.com website directly to russia?

I live in Russia and want to order a macbook air m4 2025 from the official apple website, since in Russia a $1000 laptop costs $2000, that is, a 2-fold markup. If not, can I order it through relatives in the US, but order it in my name?

Windows, Windows 10 (19045)

A few things to consider and a bit of an add to what the others have told you:


  • As stated, Apple does not ship internationally, regardless of the countries involved.
  • Yes, you can have someone, relative or not, purchase a Mac in the U.S. They would need to purchase it with a U.S.-based credit card in their name. They can then ship it to you. How you would reimburse them is something both parties would need to work out. As noted by others, the chances that you may not get the shipment is a possibility.
  • However, here is a very important point. Apple also does not offer international warranties. That means, if you need to have your Mac serviced, via the warranty, it would have to be returned to the U.S. for that service.
