Hello!
Would anyone like to share their past experiences in purchasing grey import items (especially electronics)?
Personally, I only buy grey import items amounting $100< such as earbuds, mice, keyboards, UV filters etc. For lower priced items, I'm not too concerned regarding warranties, but for more expensive items like DSLRS, laptops, TVs etc; I'd prefer to be able to contact local support when problems arise.
Grey imports are usually/almost always cheaper than local AU stock. However, they do not have local warranties; which poses as a 'no-buy' zone for some.
E.g. Nikon D7100 body only Grey Import from Camera Paradise - $841
Compared to
Nikon D7100 body only with 2 years Nikon AU warranty, local AU stock from Camera Store - $1198
Thank you =)
camera paradise might not the cheapest one, check dwi, citiwide, or others. make sure take account shipping some local put cheap price but high shipping.
my experience, all good. i will get overseas stock even if the price is only 15% cheaper than local!
