**Buy gear in US or in Europe? How to transport it?**

Hi there, you and your experience might help in this decision. i’m in the US for a few more days and am returning to europe- germany soon. I might make some good catches in dj gear here. but i was concerned about the transport and also simply if this makes sense (because of the warranty and is it worth the risk).  
Well, to transport it i would get it in a extra check-in bag at the airport. but even if i would sign it as fragile it might ends up to get a little bit cracked…i mean if i have a choice to transport it or not i would say its better not, since i’m just starting and don’t want to start bad, mh?

the same goes for the keyboard that i wanted to buy:

If you guys would have a choice to wait or to transport it, what would you do?  
Is it really worth the risk?

thanks!
