Asus warranties and Amazon buys

[aka.Goliath]

So I want to know if anyone knows if Asus will still stick to their warranty if I buy a graphics card from Amazon? I have always been told to deal with Asus my self with products bought in SA so will it work with stuff from the US?

The last I heard.... Asus generally has an international warranty

You probably won't be able to buy it. Amazon doesn't sell electronic goods to us. You will have to go through wantitall or something like it.

Me too, but isnt that only for certain items, with others only being like country specific?

You can buy electronic goods from amazon and have them ship it here. That's what I did with my Asus Transformer and I saved about R1000.

or you could try www.dc3.co.za, bought my Transformer from them (delivered), cheaper than Amazon / Wanitall / H2H

Wantitall is the most expensive online shop in SA. I would never buy from them

That's not true. You can buy electronic goods from Amazon

Nope, only some laptops or products that state international warranty (mainly portable computers), definitely not graphics cards.

Since when? AFAIK it's only books, CDs, DVDs etc.

Are you saying direct from Amazon or via e.g. TakeAlot?

Or are you talking about certain vendors who do not have a problem with it after you negotiate with them?

[aka.Goliath]

Sorry to say but its irrelevant whether Amazon does or not sell electronics to SA, I know they do as I already have purchase a GoPro and SSD from them (although only some items they will send).All I really want to know is if my graphics card will be under warranty in SA if I buy it with Amazon.

My reasoning that Asus should warranty any item from Amazon is because Amazon is a registered company in SA and as they sell me goods in ZA Rands there is good enough reason to say their goods should be under warranty in SA. Has anyone ever tried this before however?

The way I see is is that if the card came from a warehouse/distributor/channel outside of SA, the warranty won't apply in SA. You would need to ship to ASUS, who would ship back to you for free. Or deal with Amazon (assuming they wouldn't tell you to speak to ASUS).

They will ship it to you for free, but if it is DOA, then you'll have to pay for the return shipping fee to ship the GPU back to them so they can check it and send you a new one. If you want to buy a graphics card from overseas, probably the best place is from www.evga.com. You'll be buying an EVGA card instead of an ASUS card, but EVGA will ship it to you for free, their products have international warranties - you'll have to choose the one that corresponds with where you live and if your GPU is DOA they will pay for the return shipping fee.
