    FS: Video Card ZOTAC 2080 AMP, with 11 months warranty

    Hello my friends, I am selling my Zotac 2080 (ZT-T20800D-10P), because I upgraded recently. It has almost 11 months of warranty still left. I had registered for the extended warranty, and I have the confirmation mail, which I will of course provide to buyer. Reasonable and serious inquiries...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I have someone coming over from Dubai soon, and they will bring it. BTW, do NOT order anything like this from Shop&Ship. I had almost settled on ordering it from them, but I mailed them to confirm the shipping charges. This is what they sent to me: I mailed them that my package dimensions...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    Yeah, I am going to contact them tomorrow. Still not 100% on getting it from Dubai vs. the US. The price difference is coming to 7k between the two. BTW, a little OT, but does anyone know what my current monitor would sell for, approx.? It's the Dell UltraSharp 2713H (not to be confused with...

    Not seeing any addresses there. This is what I have, with nothing underneath:

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I signed up to SnS. Can you tell me a couple of things about them? They deliver to your home, right? The shipping cost they ask for is including delivering inside India? Or is it just to get it to India, and then they ask for extra courier charges to get it to your house? Where are the member's...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    So, I have finished talking to Sony and Jumbo. I appears that I was under the misapprehension that the "international warranty card" is something separate, that has to be asked for during purchase of the product. It's not. There is no such thing as an international warranty card per se, it's...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    Ok, I talked to Sony India today. Both their live chat and phone support, and they both said the same thing. On phone support I managed to get someone a little higher than the frontline help, and he said international warranty would be given if the you get a international warranty card at the...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I am not sure the TV comes under Home Audio (that should be speakers, amps etc.), or any of the categories listed. It should come under Bravia, but the mail from Jumbo made it clear that it is covered. That model is available everywhere, not just in the UAE. US, UK, Europe, rest of Asia. Only...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I had already seen the categories they mentioned, but take a look just above that: "Local Warranty in UAE is valid for 1 year since date of purchase on Home Audio, Cybershot, Handycam, Alpha, Action Cam, Walkman, Wireless Speakers & Car Audio Products." Then they give the local warranty on...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    Leaning towards getting it from Dubai. Haven't heard back from Sony yet, which is odd, since the last time they had replied the next day (when I had asked about it being launched in India). I just resent the mails.

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    Use as a TV is certainly something to keep in mind, and my estimate for getting it from SnS was already around 82k. Making it 83.x doesn't really matter that much I suppose. Maybe we can ask SnS and even Jumbo if they will give a little discount if we buy two :P.

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    Ah, ok. The shipping quote they gave takes into account both the weight and the dimensions, right? Hate for them to quote based on the weight and then increase the shipping cost once they see the box, if we were to go with them. It is looking to be significantly more expensive. 76k from...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I am thoroughly confused. Why did you give the price as 2049? The price is 2749. They say that the custom duty on TV is 29.47%, but the duty is 36.05%. But then even the approx. value they have given, 13438 INR aligns to ~36%. 2049x18.47 (AED rate)=37,853. 36.05% of 37,853=13,646. 29.47% of...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I don't know if a big chain like Jumbo Electronics will do any invoice "manipulation". When you mailed SnS, did you ask for confirmation that they will ship according to only the package weight. Because if they take "volumetric weight", and it's more (probable), then we could end up paying a...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    Hmm. I think it might be best if you contacted them on this, since you are a registered and paid member, and a past customer, they might be more receptive to getting answers on your behalf, compared to someone who isn't. Just send them a mail asking about the shipping cost and the customs duty...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I have dropped a mail to Sony India, and also used the contact form at the Sony UAE site (I didn't see a direct mail option). I will post an update as soon as I hear anything from them. Either they are going to confirm what Jumbo said, or I will ask them why they are letting the biggest Sony...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    This is the price from Overstock. Their "Duty and Tax" is accurate, 36.06%. Shipping is reasonable too. I will find out what ShopandShip quotes, but if their duty charge is also accurate, it will be (Dubai price for the TV) 50k + 18k tax = 68k. According to their site, shipping 34.7lbs (package...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    You got a good deal on that TV. Unfortunately it doesn't suit my needs. Yes, I talked to Sony India, even mailed the CEO of their Indian operations. That's how the local rep from Sony got in touch with me. He confirmed that the model isn't coming to India, and I think I know why. India has...

    Want to Buy TV from Dubai. Who to Use?

    I have seen it, but take their rankings with a grain of salt, since their way of giving scores is by giving weightage to features won't mean that it will fit with a person's requirements. For one, there are few TVs in the 40" range, that are of decent quality. Their two mentions don't have wide...
