Jumbo Computer Prices

Has any found any major discrepancies with the pricing that is on Jumbo's website.

They seem to be around 5-10% cheaper than HK Island side retailers - so curious if they actually do honor the prices that they show online.

FYI - Jumbo Computer Supplies

Jumbo are famous for the "grey import" product.

Centralfield 's price is more reliable.

Try ?????n - ????????w??o?J?q?????T???? for quick price check. Though the pull-down menu for part type selection is in chinese it should be intuitive.
As for jumbo's, and whatever sold in HK: ask for warranty period and return policy. Do never ever throw away the receipt.

E8200
Centralfield - 1480
HKGolden - could not find
Jumbo - 1,480.00

Centralfield does not have a lot of the higher end stuff that I'm looking for ... Seagate ES.2 drives, 3Ware Raid card etc etc...

yes.Jumbo is cheaper or even the cheapest.
I can say some of the products they sell are "grey import" or non-authorised local distributor, but some are.

For those special or high end parts, u can find them in their website, but not really IN STOCK in their shop.

I tried to find a old model Asus MB, and found the quoted the price on in their website, but when I asked for that model in their shop
-OUT OF STOCK-

I can say, in general

Price (from cheapest)
SSP < MK < Wanchai

Stock and Variety of models
SSP > Wanchai > Mongkok


so if i juz want to buy DVD-RW, Ram, HDD, i shop in Wanchai.

but if i need to buy a lot of things, DIY a computer, or i need to find a specific model, i shop in SSP.

Clarence - Thats what I found out.

Was looking for some high end disks / raid card etc. No stock anywhere in SSP / Mongkok. Just ended up buying directly from the distributor ... cheaper than Jumbo AND free delivery to the office.
