I suppose if u know a friend who lives in that area code, U could get him/her to help re-ship those items to u.

@kazasho,
I don't think ur bro needs to do much; just provide his Canadian address and resend the package to u when he gets it - then again, wouldn't postage and all be more expensive? What about SG? Don't u have friends just across the border?

I was browsing the online Apple Store and noticed some products are stated "Exclusive to Apple Store" - does Apple Store here refer to the Online Stores?

Also, do U think the Online Apple Stores actually make delivery to hotel addresses? *grins*

@tishaban,
Now that is good news; i can order the items online and get them to deliver it to the hotel Perhaps I could even get them to deliver it to the Apple Store at the hotel [i went through the list and there's an Apple reseller @ The Venetian Macau!]

Ah well, now will just have to decide on whether i really need the Time Capsule.

@tishaban,
Now that sure is v unfriendly of them *sniff sniff* Speaking of which, are prices on the US Apple Stores inclusive of taxes? I guess if I'd decided to get the items, I'll have u get them for me, or will have to get beloved to do it, right?!

Speaking of which, when are u back from the USA? And... someone tells me the Time Capsule's rather large - maybe I should get the MyBook instead and save a lot of $

--Added--
Just checked the Terms & Conditions...And Ur right about the HK credit card *ish*

@yawhong,
In order to purchase from the US Apple Stores, U will need an American-based/US issued credit card. It's the same for the HK Apple Stores where a HK issued credit card is needed. I'm not too sure about the UK Apple Store but it probably works the same; U could always get onto the UK Apple Store site and check out their Terms & Conditions [my bet is that U'll need a UK credit card!]

@singleguy,
The problem isn't the local address; it's the local credit card *ugh*

@tishaban,
You haven't told me when ur gonna be back. I haven't decided if I am gonna get TC - i could get them when i'm in HK so as not to trouble u but if it's not available at HK i might need u to get it for me *grins* [but again, when are u gonna be back?]

@LeoDaVinci,
*shrugs* You had no problems using an International Bank's credit card; well i suppose that can be attempted. You're right - friend wants the RED Nano and that's exclusive to the Apple Stores (I'm assuming that's Online Apple Stores!). Anyhow, if she's not able to get it through the Online Apple Store she'll just have to make do with another colour Nano

@lailaikatong,
Yeah I read the T&C at the HK Apple Online Store and it tells me exactly what U just said; have no idea how LeoDaVinci managed to get his purchased approved *shrugs*

And I don't think there's a brick & mortar Apple Retail Store in HK - I need to check that out but if i was looking at the right list, it only had resellers *gulps*

@lailaikatong,
In that case I might just have to consider getting tish to help me purchase the Red iPod Nano or perhaps trouble stringfellow *grins*

@tishaban,
In order not to trouble u and to give me more time to decide if i really need (i don't think I actually need it!) the Time Capsule, I'll get it when I'm in Hong Kong. Also, if U do decide u need something from HK let me know - I leave 1st thing in the morning on 1st April [No.. it's not an April Fool's Joke]

@cRazYee,
U definitely have a point; especially if it's about the same price. It's what I call penny wise pound foolish *grins* But I'm not out for the iPod Shuffle.... am considering the Time Capsule and best friend did mention she's thinking of getting the iPod Nano (Red) and since her birthday's coming up, I'm considering getting it for her as a gift except no $
