Shopping and shipping from Amazon USA to India

Jaydev16 · Jan 31, 2014

I want to order the Powercolour Demon R9 270X for $230 from Amazon USA.It can be shipped internationall and comes with Amazon Global eligibility.Can I trust them?Is there anything I need to keep in mind?Any tips,any at all are highly appriciated.

You can trust amazon but global shipping computer hardware probably isn't the best idea, can you not get the R9 270x in India yet?

Guest · Jan 31, 2014

i would suggest not bothering with all this international shipping stuff and settle with the r9 270x hawk edition by msi from flipkart or local stores...play it safe...(i know that feel when you cant find stuff you want in india but we just cant help it)

Jaydev16 · Jan 31, 2014

Yes but the prices are inflated.Please advice if you can.

Guest · Feb 1, 2014

Jaydev16 :

prices will always be a bit higher in India...flipkart price is a bit high so i suggest getting it from a local store...i got my msi r9 270x for 15 grand

I'm in Kerala.No one but no-one builds their systems here.I can guarantee I'll be conned/bargained into buying an overpriced 650 or smth.And no parts available here in Trivandrum,I'm sure.

Jaydev16 :

Then i believe flipkart is the best solution for you..provided it ships to trivandrum...

Jaydev16 · Feb 4, 2014

Unfortunately,FK does not have any R9s available to my location.

Guest · Feb 4, 2014

then try amazon.in

Jaydev16 · Feb 4, 2014

Ah!A 7750 that costs Rs.14,800!Ok,nothing there either.

Jaydev16 · Feb 4, 2014

Can I trust the Amazon shipping to deliver safely and take back if damaged?That's all I wanna know.

cst1992 · Feb 4, 2014

The customs will be high.
You can get things cheaper in Indian stores because those guys purchase in bulk.
Does WS Retail not ship to your location? I live in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and WS Retail is the only seller that ships to my location.
How much do you want to spend?

Guest · Feb 5, 2014

Jaydev16 :

obviously...its one of the best online retailers in the world...

Jaydev16 · Feb 5, 2014

On Amazon USA,I can go around $210.In India,about Rs.14,500.WS Retail does not deliver the cards I want.I wonder how much customs it'll be with Amazon global saver shipping.

If you have an account at amazon, and find out how much shipping and insurance costs you have to pay, you can calculate import duties here:

Jaydev Annayya! Through amazon it will cost you 275 USD in total, which is approximately 17000 Rupees. You need to purchase from Indian stores and it will be cheaper if you look hard. Some reliable stores are:

http://mdcomputers.in/products/graphics-card&filter=ATTRIBU=R9+270X=80=GPU
http://www.theitdepot.com/products-Graphic+Cards_C45.html
http://www.snapdeal.com/search?keyword=r9+270x&santizedKeyword=&catId=&categoryId=0&suggested=false&vertical=&noOfResults=20&clickSrc=go_header&lastKeyword=&prodCatId=&changeBackToAll=false&foundInAll=false&categoryIdSearched=&cityPageUrl=&url=&utmContent=&catalogID=&dealDetail=

I'm sure you know how to pick the right one after seeing review benchmarks. One which is cheaper is SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270 2GB BOOST OC which is of Rs. 14,566.00 = 233 USD, just like the US prices.

cst1992 · Feb 5, 2014

@Kratos: That is the wrong card. The R9 270 and the 270X are DIFFERENT cards.
And the R9 270 is $199 on Newegg. The same model you have indicated.
however for 15k, I'd want to have the 270 if it were me.

Kratos47 · Feb 5, 2014

Sorry for the oversight mate, here is the correct version:
SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 BOOST OC Graphic Card ~ Rs. 15,850.00 = 253 USD
http://www.primeabgb.com/sapphire-dual-x-r9-270x-2gb-gddr5-boost-oc-graphic-card.html
Same card for a bit cheaper on md:
http://mdcomputers.in/products/graphics-card/sapphire-graphics-card-dual-x-r9-270x-2gb-ddr5-oc.html&filter=ATTRIBU=R9+270X=80=GPU
₹15,499 = 248 USD

Amazon as a business, are way beyond and up the ladder when it comes to customer service. if bill gates favors eradicating world issues, i can guarantee amazon will treat you with a service up and above beyond, but sometimes somethings are out of amazons reach, like warranties that apply to america and canada only.

Look for companies that support global warranties like asus, evga graphics cards, ect.

Don't buy of amazon unless you've researched the company and the item your interested in purchasing, always buy from prime amazon. you'll see it here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gtx%20780%20ti&sprefix=gtx+780%2Caps%2C351

You have 30 days return, exchange on amazon prime orders and they'll reinburse you the costs, no maybe it's definitely refund you.
I purchase of amazon frequently, but be cautious, not with amazon but with companies that honor global warranties.

Additional stuff--

Do not use uk-usa exchange transfer when buying finalising orders at the chick out, conversion rates will commence.

If this shoe costs 60 us dollars, and you decide to pay in that amount, your bank will issue a conversion fee from your local currency to american; united kingdom currency.

The only way to purchase it in american dollars cheaper, is if your currency's greater then the american dollar.

www.amzon.com much better, then www.amazon.in. they can determine your orders and as in amazon india. it's essentially the same thing but prime global operates in the united states, and branches out.

Jaydev16 · Feb 6, 2014

I live in India,much too low vs US dollars.And cosidering I definetly can't pay $275,I can't buy from Amazon USA.Thanks to Kratos and cst especially.I'll check out the linked products!

DrBackwater · Feb 6, 2014

Jaydev16 :

Do you know any one in united states or uk that could assist you on purchase. your close to china, and given how your products come from china and arrives at america, why not get in contact with asus and arrange a way to pick up the package half way from a local store in hong kong. have you tried ebay? they have the same policy as amazon except you buy from sellers, rather prime. the seller must abide by ebays rules. your protected by ebay's policy.

Jaydev16 · Feb 6, 2014

I'm okay with an R9 270 BTW.

cst1992 · Feb 6, 2014

Yes it'd be cool if we could get directly from China

No overseas shipping.

Jaydev16 · Feb 6, 2014

Comes with cash on delivery.My hopes and dreams are pinned to this!Hope the BF4 offer stands when I buy it and register it in March.And the Radeon offer for a free game.Anyone know what I'll get with that?Thanks!
