Hi,
Did anyone get their wii from US via mail?? My brother was supposed to be back but cancelled the trip. He had already bought the wii and is thinking of shipping it back via airmail. Is it safe?? Any taxes involved??

Thanks

It's not safe unless it's traceable and insured. And yes, there's a big risk kastam will get involved.

With all the costs involved you are better off getting an official local Wii, which are US versions as well. I don't think your brother would make any loss by selling the Wii there.

If I get it here, I'll have to pay for it. If my bro sends it back, he'll bear all the cost tongue.gif .

Anyway, I think you are right. It's probably not worth the risk, not to mention the headache involved when dealing with the local customs.

Thanks.

try fedex. i usually use that and kinda can skip customs, i think.

I just checked and Fedex is just too expensive. Don't think my bro will agree to that.

Is it true you can skip customs with Fedex??
