I was considering ordering from sgcubehubs, but it seems only one person on this forum has had experience with them. How to know if they are reliable?

i ordered my sager from them too.. they are reliable.. i actually went down to their office to make a cash payment.. at first sight the office has nothing at all, so i was very suspicious at first.. but considering they are quite talked about and kinda high profile in importing laptops in singapore, i thought the risk was worth taking.. the transaction went on without a hitch and i got my lappy in about 2 weeks.. service was pretty much ok too.. so i would actually suggest you go ahead and order it from them!

Nothing against SGCubeHub, but ur claims of it being "quite talked about and kinda high profile in importing laptops in singapore" is dubious at best.

But to be fair everyone's gotta start somewhere, usually small and unknown. Support local if u can (or dare)!

 

[clickade]

Agreed. Or else they might just collapse, which is a no-win situation for cheaper Sager imports or the customers.

hey bro. clevo is marketed as sager and clevo is taiwan. correct me if im wrong.

You are right. Sager is just a rebranded Clevo for US market as Clevo is mainly an ODM.

Well I'm not wrong, Sager IS US. But yes Clevo is a Taiwanese OEM, but I dunno any site or shop that sells the Clevo OEM. Any lobang?

If u're keen on Sager, for 15" panel the 8662 is good while for 17" the 5797 is not bad.

Well, there is a page on XoticPC.com which will hopefully satisfy your doubts.

Sorry for beating a dead horse, but Sager is US, even if Clevo is Taiwan and Sager is a rebranded Clevo. Laptops aren't the only things that do this, most electronics are like that, eg flat panels, graphics cards, etc. An MSI graphics card using the Nvidia chip is still an MSI card. The Samsung touchscreen phones are HTC phones but it's still a Samsung phone nonetheless.

Congratulations on your recent purchase!

Just remember to take care of it really, really well. The warranty does not cover physical damage including cracked LCD screens, unless, I think it was during the shipment

Warranty only covers defects present after coming out from the factory.

If it's damaged during shipment there's the insurance.

i had place a order from sgcubehubs.com but sigh they dont do COD for sager. mean had to pay 1st but problem is they close @ 5pm! Working ppl like me logoff work @ 5.30-6.30pm. If pay by paypal no 3% off.

If pay on spot cant get laptop on spot too ......! in the end they will send a staff down to my place to collect $$ (it part of their system also)

Just dont know why cant do COD?

 

[Wzierbovsky]

Risk avoidance for a very expensive product. If there're buyers who make an order then fly kite (e.g. not in the country when the item is delivering), then who's going to take the notebook? Especially since notebook values depreciate fast.

That said, they could do with a deposit up front and full payment upon collection, or extend maybe do direct Interbank transfer though, like some small SG-based online retailers.

 

[arcana75]

If they sending a staff down to ur place to collect $, isn't that COD?

Anyway as stated by Wzierbovsky, is a risky business cuz they order the Sagers from US, if fly kite they're left hanging with unsold units. Worse still is Sager units are custom units, harder to pass onto future customers.

Isn't bank transfer an option?

 

[harky]

no bank transfer
only have paypal (but if use paypal no more 3%) , by cheque or cash.
than they had to come my place twice lor 1st to take cash, 2nd to delievery laptop.

Nice config harky, exact same config as mine! Do bank transfer la easier... doesn't matter the bank most banks if not all banks in SG do online inter-bank transfers.

 

[ZeptoSG]

Mucro is also a Sager reseller now.

We'll put up more models later so you can see for yourself the Sager warranties that are quoted to us and our own local servicing enhancements.

There will also be OCZ DIY laptops and these will become very interesting in the near future.

 

[kelvintongwc]

You guys are nearly selling similar stuff like XOTICPC in the US.
