hey all..was a silent spectator here and i m frm UK..will be moving to chennai for gud in few months from here..so I started purchasing one by one for my home theatre..Already moved Onkyo 608 and few HDMI cables from UK to chennai last month..and now the speaker cables..:)

I was searching for speaker cables for almost a month and came across every popular cables (Monster, QED, Chord, Atlas, Nordost and may others) and found VAN DAMME cables which is being used in many UK studios..also price was affordable. I then started for the best price for this cable. Almost all online retailers were pricing this cable around 2.49 to 2.9 per meter.

I even checked if any dealer has this cable in India and found the below link, who is offering 100 meters for Rs. 24052.75 which excludes Central Sales Tax, VAT, etc - tax rate for this product is 13.50%

268-502-000 Van Damme | 2 core Hi-Fi A/V cable,2.5sq.mm 100m | 365-7772 | Welcome to RS Online

Fortunately found one dealer in UK offering 50 meter Van Damme 2x2.5mm UP LCOFC Hi-Fi Speaker Cable for 77.68 (including VAT). Below is the link..

VAN DAMME|268-502L|VANDAMME HI FI SPKR CABLE 2.5 | CPC

I ordered this cable thro shopyourworld.com and the price came to around Rs.7700 without customs duty. As this item is less than 10K, ordered this a gift to mom :ohyeah:

Luckily few hours before placing an order, i received a coupon code from SYW for Rs.350. Bought this cable thro HDFC credit card and hence 5% discount.

Atlast, I ordered this item for Rs.6990 and this is my first purchase thro SYW. hope everything will be fine..I will keep you guys posted once this item reaches home safely..

Next item on my list - 20 mts VAN DAMME custom subwoofer connect..Below is the link..but i m still searching for the best price.

I've been using VD UP-OFC (6mm) speaker cable for the last one year. Great VFM cables, got it through SYW. The LC (liquid crystal) you're talking about is a step-up from what am using and it's flat and super flexible than the UP (ultra pure). Good buy indeed!

:)

Problem has just started now. I spoke to SYW customer care for an update and they informed me that merchant hasn't shipped the item yet to SYW. I asked them to provide the reference no which Merchant provided to SYW and directly spoke with that merchant.

They have informed me that the order is cancelled due to reason "SYW card payment address and the delivery address doesn't match". I then informed the same to SYW and they informed me that they didn't get any update from merchant. At last they said they will check with merchant and get back to me. Dont know really whether SYW can send this item to me or they will cancel the order..

Has anyone faced this similar problem with Shop your world?
 
Re: VAN DAMME UP LCOFC speaker cables for cheaper price from UK thro shopyourworld.co

I am also in the similar situation. I had ordered the same cable. The support (*) was telling that the seller had canceled two orders (as I had asked about your (ramesh's) order also) due to the payment authorization issue. They are ready to do the refund. He will be calling me in 30mins and I am trying to figure out a way to get the product somehow as the price seems to be attractive.

*The support is another joke. Always we will be routed to either Alan / Alex. Once he called me up and in the conversation I could figure out that there is only one person for support with split personality of "Alex" and "Alan" as he initially told me his name was Alex and at the end when I asked his name he told me unknowingly as Alan:)

Could you please check for an alternative online shop to get this?

Edit: How about this one: http://www.letsautomate.com/10986.cfm

It seems the issue is different, not because of any authorization / address issue. The CPC website says "Out of Stock" for the cable.

tats the next best merchant who is offering for that price. Instead of cancelling the order, Can u chk with SYW to amend the order with the new merchant?

I will check with the new merchant(lets automate) regarding stock availablity..they dont support over phone..I will send an email to them.
 
Re: VAN DAMME UP LCOFC speaker cables for cheaper price from UK thro shopyourworld.co

Sajith - I checked with CPC Farnell regarding the address mismatch. They confirmed that - For anyone who places an order with them for the very first time, then the card address and the delivery address must match or else they cancel the order.

I have just dropped an email to the other merchant (Lets Automate) to see whether they accept an order where card address and delivery address doesn't match..lets see wat they reply..
 
Re: VAN DAMME UP LCOFC speaker cables for cheaper price from UK thro shopyourworld.co

Sajith - I got an email from "Lets Automate" and they informed me that the price listed in the website is old..they have updated it now..chk the same link u provided me..now it is 144GBP (tats a shocker..double the price)..

But also i guess there is a gud news..did an online chat with Alex (SYW) and he informed me that the address mismatch issue is sorted out now. They will place the order once again with CPC Farnell. I checked with CPC Farnell and they are expecting stock on April 18th and SYW can expect the item latest by April 26th.

Lets see how it goes from here...If we can get the cable from CPC Farnell, then its a steal as the price is cheaper than any other merchant.

Whether the price will be same? If not, its better get it from other vendors like ClearlyAV (http://www.clearly-av.co.uk/V502000.html) + Free Shipping

Alex (SYW) has sorted out the address mismatch issue.

I got the reference no from SYW and spoke to CPC Farnell. They have taken this as back order and are expecting due stock on 18th April.

Hi Ram, I am new to Shopyourworld. I am looking to buy the same model vandamme cable that you purchased through the CPC website, but I don't know how to place the order. I don't see any provision in the shopyourworld.com website to purchase from the CPC website. So, can you please tell me the procedure to buy this cable. The CPC site has this cable for the cheapest price. This cable is also available in monster.co.uk site, but its price is Rs.10800 and since the price is exceeding 10K, I may have to pay customs duty if I buy from amazon.co.uk site. So, your help might save me some cash.
