Unless you can get the store to write "sample" on the box ;)

or ask your friend in the States to buy them and then send them to you as a gift. you would not pay VAT.

Tannoy has something in a similar style (sound adjustment):

MAIN FEATURES

Tannoy Activ-Assist software is designed to assist the user of Tannoy active monitors in setting the DIP switch equalisation features to account for mid, near and close field monitoring distances and varying air loading on the bass driver caused by operating in half, quarter and eighth space environments (sometimes referred to as 'Baffle Step' effect). Typically, these environments could be against a wall or on a table or large support surface such as the meter bridge of a console (half space), in a corner (quarter space) or a worst-case situation such as mounted in a corner on a shelf or table or in a typical outside broadcast mobile vehicle (eighth space).

The program measures the sound radiation characteristics of the monitor compared with a built in anechoic free space reference for a particular model and recommends one of over 2000 DIP switch combinations to get the best possible response for the listener in difficult acoustic conditions. The software, supplied with a pre-calibrated microphone (or use your own flat response microphone with the supplied cables or your own cables) and the necessary cables, requires a typical Windows or MAC notebook, laptop or desktop computer with a standard sound card input/output facility.

i think it doesnt matter who will order it. but maybe would be better to leave it on the person in the US.

As for the proof. If mr.X will send them to you as a gift, he can say he doesnt have the bill for it, that he lost it or something like that. and also the guy can say, they are used and he sending them to you for free.

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah

there's no law against someone buying something for themselves, and then simply sending a package to a friend oversea's. Put the money in your friends account, they buy the good's, they send them over

its that simple surely
