Is this website safe?

The website is http://www.borderlinx.com

Is it safe?

It is a website where i can buy products at american price,so i can save hundreds of dollars on components that are expensive here.They also ship here,which is neat.Is it safe? Is there another website which is safe?

A GTX 1080 is ~$900-$1200+ on some shops at Sim Lim Square here and i can save a few hundred easily.

what makes you think you're getting it any cheaper??

do you know how currency conversion works?

you will pay $700 USD and it will be converted to singapore dollar and you will end up paying the same $900-1000

you dont save anything, and you will spend a  lot on shipping

well obviously the founders edition is going to be more expensive

get a non founders card

and $900 singapore is like $670 USD so if you can find one for $1000-900 then you're basically paying the same as you would in the US

I prefer hopshopgo because they give discount for payment using paypal (not sure for now since I haven't use it for 2 years already).

 

I bought Amazon Fire TV when it first came out that way, shipping using DHL, fast and quite cheap.

 

However, you must reconsider if you are buying a GTX 1080. The price is USD 700. Converting to SGD is around SGD 950. add 7% GST = SGD 1016.5. 

If you are buying at send it yourself, there is no extra fee from them. If you are using their buying service, you need to pay few percentage of that. 

Not counting the shipping fee for something big and heavy for GTX 1080 that probably easily reach USD 50.

 

You better off buying it at Sim Lim.
