Is this legit from DHL?
A good rule of thumb to remember is if in doubt, don't do it. There are plenty of places locally where you could buy a laptop so you should try doing that. It really sounds like a scam to me.Is this legit from DHL?
Just Call DHL directly they will have an answer.
Are you in the UK or the USA. As a general rule of thumb I only purchase with in my country. Next I only use a credit card on a secure website and use paypal whenever possible. This sounds like a scam, I would never send payment via mail for an item like this.
