Newegg price are exciting. But the problem is the International warranty and the custom fee. If anyone brought from the site then please answer whether it is safe to buy from newegg , and what about the custom duty?

The prices are only attractive until they calculate the customs duty + tax and shipping. Even though they promise a 'refund' of balance of estimated duty+tax after paying it. I had only got 50% of what was actually the balance, and I had to send them at least 50 emails. There isn't much savings really after all this hassle. Also, there is a big chance that your shipment might get lost on the way. I had to wait almost a month for my 1 out of 3 packages to arrive.

not worth it (IMO).

Forget about warranty. You won't get International warranty here. India is not on Earth so most companies nullify the international warranty in our realm.

And if you add the product to the cart, they will show you an estimated quote for tax and shipping. Sometimes, like the last 2 times I bought something from them, the customs people were extra greedy and I had to shell out 2 - 3k extra as duty overcharge when taking the delivery.



Better to buy & ship it through parcel forwarders, I use PPObox. They offer transit insurance as well.
