My case:

use credit card to buy from apple.com. even if i could not change the USA poscode on billing address, somehow it still went through (for my case lah; Citibank visa)

I then shipped to my friend in usa (probably those forwarding service is better?), has it shipped to malaysia.



ipad 64G wifi +3G black with engraving = USD829
Tax (california in my case) = 80.83
Total = 915.83
Shipping (DHL three business day + insurance) = 106.86

TOTAL = USD 1022.69

yalo... it's expensive... sigh... i think those forwarding company offers cheaper shipping, and if it's shipped to certain states in USA the tax is also lower...

yes, of course it's cheaper, they also want to earn money gua.... (though I think the risk of buying one ourselves and getting from them are the same)....

1. 3 units of 32GB White Wifi only - USD599 + 53 USD Sales Tax (NYC) = USD652
2. 1 unit 64GB Wifi Black = USD699 + USD62 Sales Tax (NYC) = USD761

Total for 4 Units of iPad 2 = USD 2717

How I got it - Was in NYC for a short vacation with the family. Queued for the 1st 2 units for 5 hours starting at 5:30AM in the morning in -3 degrees temperature (my balls were freezing), Got my 2 Tickets at 10:15AM, by then only the 64GB were available, all the 3G were gone.

2nd Time: Queued up at 8AM in the morning in -1 degree temperature, this time only 3 hours wait (still my balls were freezing). By then, only the 32GB were available.

Brought back all 4 with me without any problems with the customs.

I think you missed 200 dollars, a 16GB + 3G iPad2 cost minimum without sales tax USD629 and the smart cover costs USD39 not inclusive of sales tax.
