I wanna buy a laptop from babelcomputers?

catch22

Have found the one I want, just need to know if anyone has had any dealings with a company called 'babelcomputers?' They are offering a good price for the laptop I want,free shipping, and no duties to be paid, but for some reason (they say due to freud) only except payment via Western Union (too expensive and terrible exchage rates) or E-gold (never heard of it before now). Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Hello catch22

I'll move your thread over to the 'Techie Stuff' board, where it should get more views and responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

What you're asking for is them to commit fraud.

You have to pay duty.

Find a U.K. stockist.

You said you don't want to pay duty.

They may not pay it and customs might be on your case.


(I don't know how the same thing got posted 3 times before a global moderator whines).

runaway.. - I doubt there would be any duty to pay, as it is unlikely that anything would arrive.

get a Dell.. and use a credit card (not WU), as it gives you protection..

Thanks all, I did write to them asking about certain things I would like explained-no answer.
