How??? :'(

same way you import from US (i assume). it will cost you more money if it happens. so check the RMA rates for the products, how much more youd have to pay for them here, what the postage to US is, and then decide if its worth it

You can RMA outside the US, but the shipping adds up. If you have multiple issues, sometimes the shipping ends up costing more than the part. Unlikely, but a possibility.

The items after shipping costs as follow:

Kraken costs 150$

Monitor costs 1005$

SSD coats 420$

PSU costs 150$

Mouse costs 110$

Keyboard costs 150$

Mouse is g502,keyboard is k70 PSU costs evga g2 750w

I will be importing from US.Mainly from amazon and newegg.*fingers crossed*

Just so you know, there are customs and import tax/fees you have to pay when bringing something into the country.

I think I paid about an additional ~20% in fees for my anime figures. So if you're ordering something for let's say 1000 dollars, expect the fees to be maybe 200 dollars extra.

 

NOTE: This does not apply to one EU country to another.

If you are in the UK and is ordering from Germany you won't have to pay any additional tax (although handling fees might still apply). If it's from US or Canada then you will most likely have to pay extra.

 

That, the extra trouble of RMAing, the longer shipping and all the other headaches that might come up simply doesn't make it worth it in my opinion. Especially not if it's something as big and expensive as the ROG monitor.

Time is not the issue.Incase if any of products stops working,do I have to contact the manufacturer through their website?
