Where to Buy an iPad 3G Online From Outside the US?

Living outside the U.S.A. has its ups and downs and one of the downs is that you have to wait longer for cool releases like the iPad and the iPad 3G as Americans almost always get them first. The iPad WiFi only model was released in America on April 3 and the iPad 3G hit stores on April 30.


Apple announced at the end of April that the International release of iPad will be delayed by one month due to very high demand in the U.S. which led to shortage of supply. Thus Apple had to improvise the local U.S. supplies with the International supplies they had stored and the release was postponed. Now the official release date of the iPad in countries like Canada, Australia, England (UK), Germany and other European countries is set at the end of May. Pre-orders for the iPad in these countries will begin on May 10.


To order and buy an iPad Wifi only model or an iPad 3G from a country that doesn't sell the iPad yet, you can go to several websites online which allow you to place orders and they provide international shipping. Examples of such websites are Amazon and eBay, where merchants sell brand new, unopened iPads at reasonable prices. International shipping costs for these iPads is usually in the range of $30-$100, depending on what type of service you are offered.


You will also find used iPads (WiFi only and 3G) on eBay going for prices less than the Apple designated price. Be careful when buying an open-box iPad as there is always the possibility of it being damaged having some defect. Always make sure you get an Apple Protection Plan for at least one year so you are protected in case something happens. Another important thing you can do to ensure the safety of your new gadget is buy a protection screen for the front and back of your iPad. This will prevent scratches and cracks from appearing on your iPad. However, it will not prevent the screen from breaking if you drop it so that's always a no-no!


The actual cost of the iPad in countries outside of the US is about $100 more than the price Apple is selling it for in America. So considering external factors such as the dollar value, additional price surcharges that Apple will add to its international shipments and the time it will cost you, you are better off buying an iPad 3G from the US and having it shipped to your home country.
