Getting Pioneer from Asia ?

[deevey]

RRP for the DDJ SX on the Pioneer HK website is HK$11,000 or 1,417.48 USD

On the Philippines site it is 61,590.00 PHP or 1,500.66 USD

Never mind the RRP, it doesn't really apply on the high street anyhow.

Philippines is ridiculous for brand name goods ALL the time, add 50-100% to the price. Most people will buy from Amazon and get it shipped to a US shipping company address in Cali and then shipped back to the Philippines, its a really grey customs area as the tax "should" would normally be almost 100% + shipping cost.

Just as an example I saw a A&H K2 in a shop the other day for almost $450 !!!

Singapore, Macau or Hong Kong are about the best place in Asia to buy Brand Name electronic goods from these days however with the exchange rate the way it is things that were cheaper can work out much much more expensive.

Singapore has weird rulings on warranties too if I remember right though where items need to be sent back to where it was purchased (including apple iphones as an example).

Also beware the voltage is 220v in most of Asia.

So there is possibility that the price will be like half of price in EU ?

You are dreaming ...

NO You will NOT get the SX for $600 no matter where you look though unless its stolen, you'd be better off waiting for a deal on Amazon UK or ordering through a proper retailer and getting a proper warranty IMHO

FYI its 765 euro on Amazon - So If you know someone going to the USA.

I checked out a few of the DJing dedicated shops in Singapore a couple years ago and found everything to be more expensive even than here in the UK. There are only a handful of DJ-oriented shops around, so there just isn't enough competition to drive prices down.

Apple products will have the standard international warranty though. I bought an Ipad through the Singapore Apple online store, and on returning to the UK had it replaced (screen issues) in a retail store on the spot with 0 proof of purchase.

The warranty alone is worth not ordering from China bruv. Never buy new equipment without protection. especially int he DJ atmosphere. There are too many things that could go wrong.

China is not one of the countries worth considering. The higher taxes there compared to HK are the reason people "smuggle" so many commodities over the border on the train every day.
