    Hi
    I'm going to new York in 3 weeks, do you think they will be cheaper there? Or has anyone been and know price ranges?

    HMRC View:
    Other goods including perfume and souvenirs

    You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 without having to pay tax and/or duty.
    If you arrive by private plane or private boat for pleasure purposes, you can only bring in other goods worth up to £270 tax and duty free.
    If you bring in any single item worth more than your allowance, you must pay duty and/or tax on the full item value, not just the value above the allowance. You also cannot group individual allowances together to bring in an item worth more than the limit.

  • Can I use the 16g wi-Fi on the 3G or do I have to get a different one ?
    Thanks
  • I got mine from the apple store on 5th Ave. Ipad 2, 16GB wifi, new.
    After sales tax addition etc, it came out at £286 on the credit card statement based on the exchange rate at the time (the rate is better just now anyway so might come in a bit lower- that was in May and I haven't checked prices recently). At the time the cheapest new here was £329 so was better for me.

    Clearly you get a US charger plug, but you can either buy the UK plug to swap it with or use a UK-US travel adaptor, which I do as already had one. It charge absolutely fine and works fine over here. I set it up in the apple store there using my apple ID, which is a UK based one and all is well.

    I bought a cheap case out there to take it home in. I had it in my hand luggage and no-one said anything. I kept the box etc but packed it in my case that was checked in. IF you were planning on getting a case anyway, maybe buy it before you go and take it with you as I found the Griffin one I wanted was so much cheaper over here on Amazon £30 compared to $100 over there.

    Wifi version is only for wifi.
    You'd need the 3G one to be able to enable you to use 3G- I assume they take a SIM card on a tariff.
  • Right $399 plus 8.75% sales tax = $433.91 for Ipad 2 16GB from NYC
    Converted to GBP in google gives £267.25
  • I have just managed to get a white one, many thanks for posting

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
  • Are these really a good buy at this price ?
