Hi all
I need to ship an Ipad out to Cyprus for my father in law, to use to help with communication/therapy after a stroke, does anyone know any carriers that will do this? I use TNT at work but they wont touch it as its a computer.

It will be in a armour proof case too, but will need to be insured anyway

might be cheaper to get a return flight (and you get to say hi and show him how to use it to boot)

(this in no way answers your question, sorry)

I'm guessing the insurance is an issue. Can you not order one in cyprus and ship it direct?

Seems strange that TNT won't carry it - they managed to deliver my new iPad to me...

Shirley it's easier to purchase one from an Apple store local to your father-in-law and have it delivered domestically for free.

How do other people in Cyprus buy Apple products? How about [url= ]this guy[/url]? He speaks excellent English, apparently. Also, Prisma Computer in Nicosia.

People I have spoken to say they buy abroad and bring back, all imported stuff is pricey over there

Then insured shipping will incur import duties too. You won't get them to insure and declare a low value...
