Jaben is a cool company with it's customer service and product range, and I know the Singapore branch has had some great deals, but as a local Australian I can't seem to justify how $427 for the UE Triple.Fi 10 bundle is a stunning deal?... when amazon.com (sold by amazon) will ship them here to me for $193.79 + $30.89 shipping ...
Well unfortunately on some things we can't compete with the US on TF10 because our cost price (before GST, shipping etc) is higher than their selling price
Mind you, the stuff from amazon is not in retail packaging, it's in "Amazon packaging" which is sort of OEM.
That's why we do these bundles, they don't make much money (if any, we sometimes lose money on the "only one available" bundles) but if the contents is what you want, it's an amazing buy.
Let's consider the $499 bundle. Even thinking of the TF10 as something "worth" $220, that leaves the Voyager at only $279 (RRP of $400+, you can't find it for lower than $350 even in the US). That's not including the dock, interconnect or shipping. Plus you get local warranty.
I think it's fairly important to note that even without the bundles, our prices are the lowest in Australia (and New Zealand, they get ripped harder than we do!).
I know that's not saying much considering how much we usually get ripped off but it's a start right?
We'll have another bundle up soon, I'm sure you'll be happy with those =)
