Anamitra das :

Bro Me too was thinking to buy Graphic card from Amazon.com
i am from india
but after purchasing card from amazon.com i think we need to pay extra custom duty .
so after adding that custom duty the cost of card become same as u get in india .

so please make sure before buying from amazon.com

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CUSTOM DUTY RATES???

Amazon.com doesn't ship to india.... as far I I know..... you'll need to go to amazon.in, which I doubt even has GPUs listed.....
They are still setting up shop here, not fully operational.
The R9 290 starts from 32K.... Sapphire here
http://www.primeabgb.com/computers/buy-online-graphic-card-video-card.html?gpu_chip=461&manufacturer=240

And 35K and 37K here
http://techshop.in/store/index.php?cPath=320_4

And on amazon.com the price is 522USD....
http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-VAPOR-X-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-11227-04-40G/dp/B00KG5TBHC/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1401173833&sr=1-3&keywords=r9+290

You'll not be saving anything.... on the contrary you'll end up paying more for after sales services.....
Have you bothered to check the Warranty policy from Sapphire and the Policy from Amazon???.... err .com.

The duty happens to be 16.85%.... as per
http://woikr.com/misc/custom-duty-rates-on-select-electronic-equipment-in-india/

PS: An I think you want to give it to your "Niece" , it's a "Nice" card to give to a nice "Niece"....

chk here
but i think warranty may be void

alyoshka · May 27, 2014

That's the reason that all that glitters is not gold.....
There are a hundred eshops like ishopint..... the problems is with return policies and warranties.....
You're all from India right, so am I, check out the Mentos add please.

but junglee suggests that it will be around 28900 Rs

alyoshka :

Ya ..
instead of buying card from amazon.com buy it from any indian web site which will be helpful
coz after adding custom duty that product price become higher than u get in indian seller

alyoshka · May 27, 2014

Used or new???? Amazon sells both.... you need to check what you're getting....
And junglee, as all indian stores is going to first try and make a monkey out of you..... first time buyers especially ones who feel that .com is purer than local.... DO get taken for a jolly ride.

I can vouch for both these e-retailers, prime and tech.... since I must've bought over 500K worth of PC parts from them in the past 4 years.... and believe me, I never had a complain.... prices, on the other hand do work out a little more expensive from the local store, but, that the cost of not having to go shop to shop and haggle with these guys and stand in the heat.
The price of convenience is really measly.

Anamitra das · May 27, 2014

then suggest some indian website .....
http://www.junglee.com/MSI-290-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-GAMING/dp/B00HPS4AFG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1401175077&sr=1-1&keywords=r9+290

Anamitra das · May 27, 2014

what should i do???local store again?????

Anamitra das · May 27, 2014

primeabgb or theitdepot or snapdeal???

Pondering · May 27, 2014

Sometimes websites are cheaper and other times local stores are cheaper.

It will always hurt buying the newest video cards. I usually have 3 builds so that I look for video cards at a third of the cost.

alyoshka · May 27, 2014

prime is good, itdepot ...... never dealt with them, but, I had a few queries here at toms about stuff bought from them before. And snapdeal, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole ..... the name itself makes you feel like it's a big con.....
Aren't these the guys who are advertising on telly all the time..... snap this snap that and sell it on snapdeal.... whatever made you think you could get a reliable GPU from snapdeal.

Anamitra das · May 27, 2014

theitdepot has a great offer on msi r9 290 4g gaming ...but i was looking for emi option>>

Anamitra das · May 27, 2014
