Hi all

I intend to buy a camera from Qoo10 as the price offered were very attractive
Select model have up to 40-50% off from retail store price.
I observed that most are direct imports from korea and they claim to provide international warranty.

Are there any issues purchasing from Qoo10?
Any one have any experience to share?
Thanks in advance.

"International warranty" -- I wouldn't put my money on it. I mean, if I'm Samsung or Sony and I honour the warranty, all my authorised retailers will surely be pissed at me.

But at half the price it could be worth it.

I believe they're legitimate products judging from the reviews.

BUT DO NOTE THAT sometimes the seller will intentionally underdeclare the value of the product to evade GST.

I know some of you think that it's okay, but I think it's fair enough to warn you guys that you may be unknowingly committing GST fraud when buying from such sellers. Already feedback to Qoo10 about this but they don't seem to be doing anything about it...
