Swiftech H220X UK availability?

[xcvtop]

Hi looking to buy one of these to replace my dark rock pro 2 as I move my rig from a 650d to a 750d. It is available to buy from NCIX in the US & Canada here

but in the UK I have phoned OCUK and Scan who both have told me that they do not have any plans to stock the cooler at this point. I also phoned Ebuyer who said this is a product that they would look to offer but can not say if they will or when (plus they use a really bad delivery company so I do not like to order from them). 

 

My questions are 

 

Is it worth importing it from the US or Canada?

 

or does anyone know somewhere in Europe that plans to sell the unit?

 

Thanks in advance

 

also 1 more question if I buy direct from the swifftech website do they deliver Internationally, or would I have to get it delivered to someone in the US first?

If you import from outside the EU, afaik you will have to pay VAT (20%), customs duty (varies afaik) and possibly some other stuff too, on top of shipping and the original price of the unit.

I'm not aware of anywhere that's currently looking to offer it (not that I've looked), but amazon may offer it once it is fully released worldwide, which may take a while (I don't know; NCIX indicates that they don't know when it's releasing).

I do not mind paying the charges for importing it, if you were to guess how long do you reckon it will take Amazon to offer it in the UK? if they ever do

I'm afraid I've got no idea about that unfortunately

Offtopic but OCUK refuse to stock products from companies that provide them with poor service when they need to RMA stuff. Swiftech.. Logitech etc.

I guessed this was the case that they had bad dealings with them in the past, but surely eventually they would consider working with Swiftech again? as they do make some quality stuff

 

and Logitech are the worse i refuse to buy anything of theirs with my own money

Brian (Swiftech community spokesperson) posted on the swiftech forums that European distrobuters would be recieving units in a few weeks.

I'd expect specialtech to stock them.

Thanks for the info guys, was going to buy direct from Swiftech some time before the 15th to get here in time for my move from a 650d to a 750d at the start of next month but it looks like I will wait till they appear in the UK if not I will ship it over from the Netherlands.

 

1 question is Higflow a good reliable company? as I've never heard of them

I have a h220x. it was hard to find, but it keep everything perfectly cool.  the loop has been expanded and it keeps up still.  I just need to find waterblocks for my msi r9 390x's now. I CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE!  IT is so worth it, go for it.

There are blocks for reference 390X, but no block for custom PCBs. Should always chose reference card to water cool.

My main source of water cooling components is Highflow. Price is not always the best. But so far service is reliable and always got delivered the next day after placing the orders.

I wouldn't import one, for the price of importing one you could probably buy a EK/Alpha cool kit off one of the euro sites.  I looked at importing one from the US to Canada and it would have nearly doubled the price of it once taxes/international shipping hit it.

 

edit: or buy one of the EK predators that would probably be a better buy for the that kind of cash too.

Why not buy an EK Predator 240mm or 360mm, it is so much better than the Swifttech version.
