Question by on_a_i_r: How to find somebody who can deliver laptop from USA to Moscow?
Hi! How do you think I can find a person who will be willing to deliver a laptop from US to Moscow. Probably it can be someone who is going to visit Russia and want to get a reward for the service, which he can provide. I need a new MacBook Pro 13 to be delivered in Moscow somehow…

You need to find a friend who will do that for you. I brought things like that on my past trips and they paid me a little commission. Obviously the shipping method is not feasible because you don't want to pay the 30% tax.

Why bother? There are so many methods of just mailing it. While Federal Express, United Parcel Service and DHL are best known, you will get a much better price if you use International Express mail or International Priority mail for the United States Postal Service. When you buy it online, simply specify your Moscow address, and USPS Express mail as the shipping method.
Example: a 10 pound (4.5 kilogram) package would cost US$ 57.25 for Priority and US$ 67.25 for Express. Delivery time would be about 7 days for Express and 14 days for Priority.
According to the USPS website, you can expect to pay about 30% of the declared value in customs tariff, but that will be the same no matter what – even if it is delivered by a person traveling.
