Mail-forwarder for Spectre x360 HP (USA) Website

I found the following deal (below) on HP's US website:

HP USA Website

This laptop will suit the work that I do well (word processing, browsing and more CPU heavy lab work). The problem is HP does not allow ordered using the ShopMate forwarding address. I have confirmed this through the live chat on their website.

Has anyone had any experience ordering from their website? Is there another freight-forwarder that may not be blacklisted? I could use a freight forwarder with a concierge service but they tend to charge 5-15% of the purchase price for the priveledge?

Any help would be much appreciated. Or if someone suggested a similarly priced and speced laptop purchasable in Australia that would also work.

If anyone is interested I have pasted the details of the deal below.

    4K, i7 and 16GB ram, but only 2GB graphics…

    What will you use the laptop for?

    • MADTurnIP on 13/02/2020 - 18:05

      Microsoft Office Suite
      Statistics programs with large datasets (generally not GPU optimised)
      Genome sequencing raw read processing (may be GPU optimised in future but mainly CPU intensive)
      Web browsing

      I have a gaming PC, no need to game on the go.

    I had one of these x360 13" and the quality was mediocre. Luckily I bought it locally and returned with no issues.

    Just some food for thought.

    I would check about international warranty as well.

    Not sure if it works with HP but I have used that service for years without any issues.
