^^ yes, they ship to other countries. That is why I used a similar service, shopandship. The cost will ultimately land me below 16.5k.
about the warranty, whatever I've googled, all wifi models comes with international warranties, but again it depends on your local
Asus Support to validate the same.
picked this info of the net from a asus support rep on a forum :
[color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15px;]The warranty is good only in the region that it was manufactured for. The Nexus 7 is sold all around the world, but unfortunately, the warranty in not global. Each serial number has the warranty and regional information in it so when you call in for a repair, the repair center will only accept devices from within its region. Support is global, and we can help troubleshoot and assist no matter where you bought it from, but when it comes to sending it in for service or repair - those restriction do apply.[/color]
