Newegg question

Though this is not a technical question,i think this post can save major $$ for us european guys.And here we go:

I live in Europe(Greece fyi),and here PC parts qre quite expensive.Picture that (for pc parts only) 1 euro=dollar. ex core i7 @newegg is 279$ ,and at the cheapest store in greece is 260 euros.The same rules applies to pretty much every component.Now recall that atm, 1 euro =1.4 $.That means i can save like 40% of a new pc.....

Suppose my new pc costs 1500 euros at europe.Given that i have some questions for you guys who live at USA:

1)I know newegg doesnt ship outside of the states,but would it be possible to give 1500$ to a friend of mine who lives there,let him buy me the parts i want,then send them over to greece via post??(cost would be like 100 euros max,and its much cheaper than buying them from here) so basically my question is: are any extra fees &tolls for shipping those parts from the US to Europe?

2)Supposing i get the parts,and something doesnt work.Does any1 know if i can RMA the broken part to the european branch(ex the european branch of asus) even though i have bought it from the US?

Not on some of their processors, Overclockers.co.uk has the E8400 for £131.99 or 210.910 USD(according to XE.com) Newegg has it for 164.99 w/ Free Shipping.

And a standard EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 55nm for $246.05 USD(converted from £) @ Newegg=$189.99

UK gets screwed on prices just as much as the rest of Europe, if not more.

All UK prices are Ex-VAT.

Edit, I notice some XFX 275's are very close to NE prices though. EVGA prices are higher though.

noone knows anything more?
