snr 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2004 Anyone recently bought the Grado Sr-225 in singapore? do you find the price of SG$350 is too expensive since the RRP is only $195 in the states. I think it should be around less than $320 according to our current foreign currency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2004 What about shipping cost? Don't reckon stocks are "beamed" across the world as we've yet to reach "Star Trek" generation. Similarly, China made products will cost less than in S'pore or Malaysia and Malaysian durian will cost less than in S'pore. Based on your calculation and assuming profit margin is already priced in, shipping charge is $30 or 8.5% of total cost. I consider it reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
av98m 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2004 Agree with Mackie. Shipping will pretty much wipe out your "savings", fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect how much you pay. Another thing is, if you buy from the States, you have no local warranty. Anything happens to the headphones during the warranty period, you'll have to ship them back to the overseas dealer at your own expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing with Grado headphones is that it comes with a 1 year international warranty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyskraper 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2004 also you have to consider that the buying power of the US distributors would be far greater then the singaporean distributors. they probably by them by the container, not by the dozen.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
