Shipping Apple Products: America To Austria

Apple does not offer international shipping, and will only ship products within the country they were purchased in. For example, products bought from the US store will only be shipped within the US. This has led to the rise of third-party companies that offer a 'Shop For Me' service, where they will purchase the product and ship it to you for a fee. However, it is important to note that Apple will not service or warranty products bought through these grey-market channels.

Apple doesn't ship internationally, but you can use a package forwarding company

Apple does not ship internationally, so you will not be able to ship an Apple product bought in America to Austria directly through Apple. However, you can use a package forwarding company to achieve this.

Package forwarding companies provide you with a US address where you can have your Apple products delivered. Once the package forwarding company receives your shipment, they will forward it to you in Austria.

It is important to note that Apple does not ship to package forwarding companies, so you will need to use a 'Shop For Me' service. This means that the package forwarding company will make the purchase for you on the Apple website and then ship it to you in Austria.

Some package forwarding companies, such as Planet Express, offer a free Californian address, package consolidation, and a sales-tax-free warehouse. They also allow you to pay for your order with a foreign credit card or your preferred payment method.

Keep in mind that you will have to pay for international shipping and may also be subject to import duties, customs, and taxes. The cost of international shipping varies depending on the package size, dimensions, and shipping method.

To use a package forwarding company, you will need to sign up for an account, place your order with them, and then select the shipping method from the US to Austria.

By following these steps, you can purchase Apple products in the US and have them shipped to Austria, despite Apple's international shipping limitations.

Apple will only deliver to a US address if it doesn't suspect it's a forwarding package service

Apple has strict policies regarding international shipping. The Apple Store will only ship products within the country they are designated for. For example, the US store will only ship products within the US, and the Australian store will only ship within Australia.

However, there is a caveat to this. Apple will deliver products bought from the US store to a US address, but only if it doesn't suspect that the address is a package forwarding service. Apple will not ship or allow a service to ship Apple products bought in the US to another country. This means that if you are located outside the US and want to purchase an Apple product from the US store, you will need to use a 'Shop For Me' service, which provides you with a US address to deliver your Apple product to and then forwards it to your international address.

• Sign up with a package forwarding company like Planet Express that offers a 'Shop For Me' service. This will provide you with a US address to deliver your Apple product to.
• Order products from Apple.com. You can pay with a foreign credit card or whatever payment method you prefer.
• Get international shipping for your package through the package forwarding company.

It is important to note that you will have to pay for shipping from the US to your country, as well as any import duties and taxes. Additionally, Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, and HomePods to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

You can use a 'Shop For Me' service to buy and ship Apple products from the US to Austria

Apple does not ship internationally, and will only deliver products bought from the US store to a US address. However, you can use a Shop For Me service to buy and ship Apple products from the US to Austria.

A Shop For Me service allows you to get around Apple's restrictions on international shipping and package forwarding addresses. Here's how it works:

• Sign up for an account with a package forwarding company that offers a Shop For Me service, such as Planet Express or Shipito.
• Activate your US address provided by the package forwarding company.
• Place a Shop For Me request, providing all the necessary details about the Apple product you want to order.
• The package forwarding company will purchase the Apple product on your behalf and receive it at their US address.
• You will be notified when they receive the package.
• Complete the customs declaration and select your preferred shipping method to Austria.
• The package forwarding company will then forward the package to your address in Austria.

Using a Shop For Me service, you can take advantage of their US address, package consolidation services, and exclusive shipping rates. They will also handle the customs declaration and international shipping for you.

It's important to note that you will have to pay for the cost of the Apple product, the Shop For Me service fee, international shipping, and any applicable duties and taxes. Be sure to review the restrictions and prohibited items for shipping to Austria before placing your order.

You can buy Apple products in the US and take them to Austria yourself, but there will be no warranty

Apple does not offer international shipping. If you want to buy Apple products in the US and ship them to Austria, you can use a third-party package forwarding company, such as Planet Express. However, Apple blocks these addresses, and there is a risk that your package will not be delivered.

Another option is to fly to the US and buy Apple products there. However, this option is likely to be very expensive.

If you decide to purchase an Apple product in the US and take it to Austria yourself, it is important to note that your product will not be covered by Apple's warranty outside of the US. Apple restricts warranty service for iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs to the country where the device was originally sold. While some users have reported getting their devices serviced outside of the country of purchase, this is not guaranteed and you may be denied service. Therefore, if you choose to buy an Apple product in the US and take it to Austria, you will not have the same warranty coverage as you would if you had purchased the product in Austria.

You can ask Apple to change the keyboard and charger to suit the country you're importing to, but they may refuse

Apple does not ship internationally. The Apple USA online store delivers orders across the US only and does not ship to package forwarding companies. Apple will also not ship, or allow a service to ship, Apple products bought in the US to another country.

However, if you are importing an Apple product from America to Austria, you can ask Apple to change the keyboard and charger to suit the country you're importing to. Apple chargers are universal and work anywhere, auto-switching to the proper voltage. All Apple does is provide a different plug for the different outlet configurations in different countries. Apple also offers a World Travel Adapter Kit, which can be used to charge Apple products when travelling to different countries or regions. The kit includes seven adapters, each with a three-character code that shows the countries and regions where it can be used.

While you can ask Apple to change the keyboard and charger, they may refuse to do so.
