Wanting to upgrade from my GTX 1060 laptop to a gaming PC and found this Msi RX 6700 XT deal for R7.8k including shipping from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RX-6700-...eywords=Radeon+6700+XT&qid=1669460658&sr=8-13

I was looking at doing a build through Wootware using RTX 3060/6650 XT (currently just over R7k for the card), or paying a bit more (R8.8k) for the 3060 ti, but tempted by this Amazon deal on the 6700 XT. Only thing is expected shipping is late Jan/early Feb which seems really far away. Any one with experience of Amazon's global shipping service who could advice whether this would be a good idea? I guess one just has to hope nothing goes wrong with the card when you take this route.

No issues and if there is Amazon is quick to jump in and make things right.
Just make sure to only buy stuff sold by Amazon themselves and not 3rd party sellers.

How so, delivery times?
Customs are prepaid on checkout, tell Aramex to get forked if want anything other than docs.

Of course, but my one shipment from amazon being handled by aramex took one month to "find" it and "sort" it out because customs wanted to inspect it by hand and aramex had 10 different stories each time on what was exactly happening when. After due pressure from aramex global and amazon it magically got sorted in the end. So doesn't go to well once it enters the shithole.

Wow that particular RX 6700 XT deal seems to already be out of stock anyway, can still get the RX 6750 XT one though

I’ve had a similar experience with customs and FedEx, it’s like they have a policy of totally ignoring you when things get complicated in terms of clearing customs.

False advertising then, since the picture clearly states dual sim.

Maybe the 64GB version in the paper is Single Sim and the 32GB version online is Dual Sim.

That might be it. The a16 is probably the dual sim and the a16s is the single sim with NFC. I'll just use my Mifi device so not too fussed.
 
Will there be better specials on the Xbox S on Cyber Monday, than what is currently running? Anybody seen it for under R6k.
