TRY IT!

get it from SMC or The IT wares - theitwares.com

@ asigh i live in gurgaon

then why are you purchasing it online?, Nehru Place will be the best for you.

because my friend told me that you will get cheaper deal here then Nehru palace . is it true?

^^
It depends on the parts. Plus all parts may not be available at SMC. Though if you really want them, you can give them a portion of the payment, and he can get you the part and courier you / else you can pick up.

What all you want..?

Check prices with:
SMC
itwarez
primeabgb
delta peripherals

Which ever is the cheapest (vat+shipping), get it from there. You could even call up SMC.

EDIT:
You want a Corsair unit. Phone SMC and ask them. They can courier too. They accept EFT.

lynx is legit...i bought a 5750 and psu from them...have also visited their store in chd....rest assured its legit...

Don't buy anything from LYNX, they're horrible. You can check their forums, may be they're shut it down. If you really wanna buy something online, try :

theitwares.com
theitdepot.com
smcinternational.in

You won't regret it.

I never shop online.
I'm afraid of being cheated and I think the process is complex for nub like me.....

You have to pay in advanced.
And if they not send your product after ur payment ?
U don't claim anything cos u don't have any proof of payment.
And some company like Tirupati don't take product for RMA if they not sold locally with bill and product ID.....

May be I'm wrong about Online Shopping cos I'm noob.
So,if I'm wrong I apologize for that and please make that thing clear for me in detail if possible.....

Thank you!

Ok,now i understand,going by your comments, its better for you to purchase offline

Not trying to turn you here, but most online portals (India) accept the following method:

1. CC payment
2. EFT transfer
3. DD
4. Direct cash deposit to savings account

I use method (2) the most. Perfectly safe. Infact I prefer to do most of my shopping (except food of course) online. Much more hassle free, less pain.

Ya online is always better but it seems the local distributor is taking RMA requests for products not purchased from him, then what to do ?

Thanks,but I don't have too much idea about the 2nd method,EFT Transfer.
I have a SBI Savings Account and an ATM Debit Card.
Are those enough for this method ?
I will try to buy other thing which doesn't comes with warranty and not available locally and may be cheaper.....

^^
Get your online activated. There will be an option TPT. Third party transfer. On the portal, you input the user account name, number, bank NEFT code, and fire the transfer. Within few hours, the money is credited to the respective account. Most banks support this method. Perfectly legit. Usually the NEFT code can be pulled by searching the bank name, and branch area. Most sellers provide this code, so you cannot go wrong.

hey folks, really thanks here, i came to know abt some good online shopping portals because of this. How about ebay ? Is it any good with respect to electronics stuffs ?

^^
Ebay is good. I use it to find stuff not easily available. Like just purchased a digital room clock, with large red LEDs. Was not available locally.

nice discussion. learnt a lot. special thanks asigh. however is there any guarantee they will send the original bill? without bill, the customer will be in trouble, do the need arise to RMA that product...!!! also is thunder02.dragon a dealer in Dealers Paradise?

I have to activate the Online Banking service first then I can try the online shopping......

BTW,we should know the good and bad side of online shopping like we use to discuss about other things.

You always get the original bill. Two copies. One is taped to the courier package, and the original is inside the box. If no bill, then it is an illegal sale right. No dealer will do that. Be careful with Lynx. I have received original bills from them, but no serial numbers. This is the only case.

The only bad thing is getting over the Indian stigma---of holding a product in your hand, turning it over 10000 times, asking 1000 irrelevant questions, trying to bargain, and finally purchasing. Okay with clothes, and jewellery such you might want to. Why hardware..? Why would you want to see it in the shop. Be sure of your choice, order it.

You cannot do this with online. I find it perfect. Saves me tons and tons of time.

true. however the mindset of Indian peoples preprogrammed like that they fear much more than trust :smile:

Be sure of your choice, order it.

the products shown in the sites of online shopping are the only things they sell ? or i can give my choice? as in *www.primeabgb.com/ i found they do not have DELL SX2210. So, that means i cannot order that stuff from them?

But again SMCINTERNATIONAL has that DELL SX2210. Now do these sites regularly update their stocks and give current pictures of what they have?

If they show it..they will get it. You an also email and request for a special order. Most sites have live chat too..!

I also wrote that I am a TD FORUM member.

Now pls tell me should I proceed with 100% trust upon them ? AND should I send the DD through courier?

^^
Sachin is their online representative. It should be fine. Can you not do EFT. Else, yes, courier the DD (make it crossed), and keep a photo copy of the courier. I guess when you mail the DD in courier, put a letter inside, stating what all you want, with your delivery address, and mobile/contact number. It is safe.

the price mentioned in SMC website are with or without tax?

With tax. To confirm just mail them from the contact address on their website.

thank you sir.

EFT REQUIRES TPT I THINK. Actually i do not have the time to do all this.
BTW, how many dayas will they take to deliver that stuff?

product cost + shipping. tax included in most products.

product cost + shipping. tax included in most products

this means for DELL SX 2210

product cost + shipping = 12100+200.(mailed by Sachin)

TAX IS WITHIN THAT 12100.(this part i require confirmation from their side through mail.)

So i need to pay 12300 all total. if this is the case it is ok.

Tell me one thing will they mention serial number in their bill ?(for this part also i require confirmation from their side through mail)

i think this part is not for me. i just asked them about product availability. asigh or some other Delhi based people can pass words.

Bill will have serial numbers, Yes.
