How can I buy a MacBook if I'm living in Colombia - South America?

I have an address in Miami where I could get my MacBook shipped, but when filling the Billing info. I cannot specify that I'm in another country other than the US. How could I buy the MacBook, with a paycheck?

If you have a credit card, use it, and there will be a form you must filled if sent address is differ than the billing address.

I know it work within us region and credit card issued by us financial firm. Just call apple store annd double check with them.

Also check your local apple distributor in Columbia, they might have the model you want and cheaper compare to the us macbook price plus shipping cost from miami to columbia.

Also the distributor in Columbia might honor the warranty better rather than the one bought not from them.

Good Luck.

There's no official apple store here in Colombia, and the models I've found are way to expensive (almost double!!). that's why the best way for us here in colombia is to find someone who can bring us the products from the US. too bad...

I can find apple products in my country but with no guarantee as they are brought not officially (no store) but individually by people who travel, buy, and sell.

That is too bad,

So the option left was to buy it yourself, ship it to Miami, and let somebody bring that to you.

And the next time you having problem (I hope not), you must asked someone to bring that back to miami and contact the nearest apple store or service center there.

Too bad for that situation, but I suggest go for it, and have a MacBook for yourself in Columbia.

Good Luck.

how's your macbook? i'm in the philippines right now, my mom bought the macbook in texas last month, then i waited for my auntie to come home for a vacation here - in that way we avoided the taxes (i'm sorry im not a good citizen) and my auntie handcarried it (though i got a lot of complaints from my auntie coz she was so stressed in the airport) 🙂
