Some help from US residents

[tabraoui]

I'm not a US resident. But a friend of mine is coming from the US on the 28th.
I'll ask her to get me an unlocked Lumia 950.
The closest Microsoft store is the one in Westchester NY.
I'm just wondering... How will it be the first few days (25th, 26th and 27th)... Will it be too crowded that it's hard to buy one or will it be a smooth 5 minute thing?
Any advise would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

The 26th is an American holiday (Thanksgiving), but the 25th should be fine. I don't know if the Microsoft store will be open on Thanksgiving, though. The 27th would/could be very busy, but I can see it being simple on the 25th out of all of those days.

Hmm, it looks like they are open on Thanksgiving, so that might not be too bad either.

I didn't think the unlocked 950s even have an availability date.

According to MS's site, they will ship Nov 25th. I know this is a rough estimate, but it's at least something to go by.

Then seems strange the MS store site only has the 950XL and AT&T 950.

Buy Microsoft Lumia 950 ? Unlocked - Microsoft Store

That does it! Why is the MS store gaslighting me!

They were not able to get it from the store yesterday :unhappy:
There is no Microsoft Store at the airport (JFK). Ey?

I as mentioned before, I'm not a US resident. Someone managed to buy me an unlocked 950. I'm not familiar with the taxes system, but they ended up paying around $600.
Is there a way to deduct this tax at the airport?
