Buying from the US Apple store

So I want to replace my stolen Macbook and since the dollar is so good now I was thinking of getting from the US online store. They say they don't do international shipping so just wondering if anyone knows a good company that ship things on your behalf.. Ship forwarders?

Or if anyone has personally bought from the US store, how did you go about it.

Thanks.

    You obviously won't get an Australian warranty.

    • I think AppleCare is an International warranty (or can be made so).
      But personally, I think extended warranties are a scam!

      • Thanks for clearing that up

  • shipto are one of the forwarders, I've never used any of them though…
    Somewhere else in these forums is another, recent, "buying from the US" thread.

    Apple notebook warranties are international.
    Check your prices carefully. On items over A$1,000 you almost certainly will be charged GST on arrival. This combined with shipping + other charges will make the item very close to the shipped price from the Apple Australia online store.
