    Yep, the international rates for an average Joe are horrendous. You might check USPS - a flat rate box up to 20 pounds in weight is 50$ worldwide (+ some change for insurance) and is pretty fast as well. Not sure if it can safely house the E6400, but a regular shipment shouldn't be far more then that.

    Warranty is international only if you opt for the Next Business Day as far as I remember.

    Just checked the USPS flat rate boxes dimensions and they are to small for the E6400. Regular priority package would cost around 100$ - I think you'll have a hard time finding a better deal even with that shipping, specially if you'd be getting one from the outlet.

    Doesn't your country have import/custom taxes? In mine it would add 20% of a notebook's price.

    Spill resistance:
    I once spilled a cup of tea over my e6400. The keyboard wasn't damaged but I had to take the whole thing apart to be sure there was no fulid on critical components. I found a drip of tea on the mainboard which came rather through the touchpad buttons than the keyboard.
