Hey guys im planning to buy the Sony NeX-5 from Amazon.com through Shopyourworld.com......I wanted to know whether it is safe to purchase stuff online??? Has anyone experienced a buy from shopyourworld??? The most important question is will the product come with a warranty of any sort?? Please enlighten me guys.
 
Thank you for the info but i guess i need more on the same .......im a lil lost and all new to this internet shopping so a lil skeptical
 
Be careful with Shopyourworld because the charges they show are only for up to 5kg items, if the item weighs more they make you pay an additional amount. You should try ICC WORLD - Shop Abroad, ICC World to buy stuff from any U.S. website, like amazon.com - they're prices are reasonable and they are transparent with all fees, so there are no surprises later.
 
anyone else has any good or bad experiences with this site, any reviews would be most appreciated as i am planning to order a few items
 
Do not buy any product from shopyourworld.com | They can't be trusted.

This kind of association this shopyourworld.com have seems we can trust but when this is not the reality. I was planning to buy a product from them of around $700, so I got in touch with them on live chat to check the reality. I asked simply for the physical address and they denied it. They said that they cant give the address wether i buy the product or not. I said I am paying you some much money what is the assurance? They said that they are associated with ICICI Bank. This was strange to me as they are asking money in advance and I have no idea whom I am paying to. The ICICI Bank will never take the responsibility if they do any false commitment or don't deliver the product. They have paid the bank for the association and bank is showing it. Any company can get that. ICIC Bank should be aware that this company is keeping their reputation on stake. These guys need to understand if you are taking someone's money you will have to tell your location or you will be considered to be cheater/defaulter.

This website is associated with tarazz.com but on their website too there is no physical address of this company but others are.

I suggest do not fall in the marketing campaign and glitter of fancy products showing at the website. If you don't whom you are paying why would you pay a single penny.

This is your hard earn money don't blow it away on ShopYourWorld.com
 
I found the following paragraph in their "Shipping Terms and Conditions" - they seem to be based in Singapore with no base in India?

You could try ICCWorld or B&H Photo Video, one thing is that they are based in India and give their contacts for you to check.
 
@slimsnakey - Your first post? Yes, I think I should trust you :) (not much online shopping experience with me)

if wrong mods pls remove it


Hmm, this site also seems to have pretty good service and they did pick up the phone. The 3 week transit period might have been normal, or a one-off problem. In either case, mention of another site in the above post does have an indication of being promotional spam for them.

I spoke to Mr. Vishal Melwani, who has given me this address:

Shop Your World
385, Cardinal Gracias Road,
Chakala, Andheri (E),
Mumbai - 400 069
Tel: 022 - 6132 3205

When I asked him about the address, he wondered if it would make a difference, and said that they operate from various countries. After telling him about how all shopping sites have a physical/postal address clearly mentioned, and that lack of an address could be interpreted to be untrustworthy, he e-mailed the Mumbai address to me. Was willing to help in dispelling any mis-trust of the site.

I have not cross-verified the physical presence of the above address, but he was willing to help. So I guess this solves the matter and brings ShopYourWorld.com back to my list atleast, of trustable online shopping sites.
 
Have bought multiple items from them worth about $500 so far. Never had any issues and all were delivered within 3 weeks. The prices offered bythem are th best in comparison to any other online portals for shipping to India. They have recently revised the prices upward though making it less attractive.
 
Syw

Well in my case the service from SYW was lousy in the initial phase but when i opposed tooth and nail to them directly and via this forum then they improved a lot, but for how long i do not know. If they pick up the phone or they come online for chat is virtually no meaning, if they are not handling the expensive order query well, or going round the bush, or i would say deep into the bush.

In your case prithvi you have had enough problems with SYW, and the extent was such that you had to cancel your order and they refunded you money very late. About transit problem of a 3 week period being a one-off problem, i strongly doubt. Further that reminds me i do not know how you are recomedning SYW, when you have dealt with them only once, that too mere half way.

There is nothing for them to wonder why a address is being asked, let them operate from every corner of the world, who cares, and it is good that he gave the address, if he is so willing to dispel a mis-trust then he should become a member of this forum. I have known someone who told me he has dealt with SYW several times and if i have any problem, he will help me and talk to them, but when the time came, he never came forward other then a minor token, so what does this mean, is any body's guess.
