Should I ship GPU using ezbuy?

[nfshp253]

I'm going to order one of those new GTX 1080 Ti cards soon. I wonder if I should use ezbuy to ship it over (they've been good so far) or should I just spend $15 more and use comgateway instead? I've used both and have not had any issues with either.

since u have used ezbuy before, either one will do... u are purchasing from where?

 

[nfshp253]

Amazon. I know ezbuy is good and reliable but is it a risk to take when buying something >$1000?

the 1080 that u are going to buy does not ship directly to sg?

Nope. Doesn't seem like it even though it's sold by Amazon themselves.

How much do you save (including GST, shipping, etc) in total by buying from overseas ah?

MSI Armor version is 1190 on Lazada

MSI Armor is 1101 on amazon.

After adding 7% GST, plus shipping, and difficult warranty issues...

You think still worth it?

saving of $89.. go with local warranty better

From what my Friends who work in Tampines and Hougang ezbuy warehouse..

Able to buy clothing or other "soft items" that would not break when thrown. Staff handle items very roughly and would throw items on pallet. Would never order electronic parts unless I am handling the delivery myself and would schedule so that I receive the item myself. If unable to schedule own handling, rather go to DHL next door

Personally ordered from EZBUY and no issues, just that box is a little battered up from time to time, hardware inside no issue

Wah. The rma is going to be a pain. To me, gpu is too expensive to be shipped via ez buy. Buy local sua. A bit expensive but peace of mind and ease of rma is more important imo.

If u get it from madcow@qoo10 at $1238, along with a $100 off $600 (when it comes out) + 5% rebates from DBS Live Fresh card, it will cost $1081.10. $81 for 3 yrs local warranty, is it worth it?

I can go lower if i use qpoints and buy giftcards.

i bought a few stuffs and shipped from US using ezbuy including motherboard.

I'm not sure how they shipped it but i receive individual bare product boxes in clingwrap. For the few times I've used, the condition of product boxes is as good as you buying it off from shop.

Don't forget to tick the option "Ship in Amazon Box" if you see one.

Last time I bought an XFX Card from Amazon directly, I forgot to tick the option, I got it like this...
Amazon just stuck the shipping label onto the box and sent...

Packaging totally wrecked. Luckily the card still works...

MSRP is $750. I'm tracking the price and it goes down for about 10 minutes a time occasionally. Missed it just now since I was taking time to decide between ezbuy and comGateway.

When will the $100 off be available? I don't have that DBS card, unless there are other cards which give the same benefits. It's really worth it if I can get it at that price since that's what I'll be paying after shipping and GST.
