I live in Israel and I saw the prices of hardware components in USA are much lower than what it is in Israel. So I wanted to ask, How can I get an order of hardware components to Israel, on the lowest price.
thanks.

If you have a friend in the US, they could acquire the parts and ship them to you. I've sold item's on ebay to a person in England and I shipped them to one of his friends here in the US that made regular shipments to him.

Someone here would have to buy them for you and ship them but there are other hurdles.
I don't know about Israel specifically but after shipping cost there might be customs duties as well as a capital transfer tax.
In short, you could end up paying as much if not more than had you gone shopping in Tel Aviv.
I suggest a little research on what will happen before you try it.

yes, contact a freight importer in Tel Aviv and ask what the fees would be in shipping.
the price difference from country to country is usually caused by the addition of the taxes, tarrifs, duties and other fees associated with importing the equipment and you could very well ending paying the same, if not more, by trying to work around the system.

I have relatives that are gonna move to California in about a month, But that's a long time, and I don't want to wait two months for the computer. They also have two babies, so the move will already be hard enough. I don't wanna add weight on their shoulders.
BTW, how's my english? (I'm 14 years old)

Your English is better than the average American and probably better than 90% of 14 year olds who speak natively.

I've been talkin' english for about... uhmmm... five or six years I think.
Edit: My hebrew is WAY better than my english when I speak, 'cause it's hard for me to find the correct words in a short time. but when I write, there's no big difference.
