Buying from Amazon? Bad idea?

[buzzaro]

Hi, all

I'm looking to purchase ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 Bookshelf Speakers

Hifimart has it for 27.2K, while Amazon has it for 26K, and using SBI credit card it comes down to 24.5K.
Since these are speakers, I wouldn't worry too much about warranty. If they have any issue, Amazon offers good replacement and return options which I've used in the past. The seller is AV BEST BUY, a Mumbai based dealer.

So, I just wanted to check with the more experienced FMs if it's a bad idea, or should I go ahead?

bets price in speakers are usually given by local dealers

I checked around. No one has Elac in my city.

Call Anil from hifimart and discuss. I am sure he can provide some discounts. I have purchased lot of things from hifimart and their service is good.

Then please check with KEI hifi who are the authorized distributors in India

Frankly, I think in all these products the distributor is the one who has to provide warranty, so buy from an official dealer from anywhere in the country and ship it.

There are lots of dealers in Mumbai who will be happy to do so. If amazon is cheaper, go for it. If you probably reach out one-on-one with hifimart, they may match or improve it.

I saw one more dealer audioshop.in who deals with Elac and mentions Ahmedabad, just check with them too.

+1 from me too. call HFM

Called HFM. They reduced the price. I thought that was better than Amazon at 24.5K because of better reliability and all. So placed the order with HFM. Thank you, guys.

Before you buy them why don't you ask @Prodigy who had a pair of Elac B 6.2 for sale...
