Hi

I found that ipmart.com has the best price on original Samsung Galaxy S PLus. Check out their facebook site.

RM1268.12 with 1 year Samsung Malaysia Electronics warranty.

Some more . . . can use Amex card! This means if you got the Maybank Duo Amex, use it on a weekend and you can get 5% cashback plus 2.5% treatpoints*. This works out to a further RM 81 discount.

So net price if you got the Amex is = RM1187!

The main issue i had was whether ipmart.com was a legit company. But from lots of searching on the net, I came to conclusion they are . . . so gonna put my money where my mouth is this weekend!


* Check out the other Lowyat forum on the Maybank Duo Amex card to see what i'm talking about . . .

Heh heh no la, I really looking to buy SGS+ this weekend. But i confus now - their (ipmart.com) facebook guy said RM1268 is for original set, but when i sent email to their support, they said its for AP set????

Anyway i sent another query to their support to find out the facts. Will update here.

Anybody buy from ipmart.com before?

Yup, I know the headline price is close to Garage Sales price, but very unusually ipmart.com accept Amex cards without charge. With the 5% cashback + 2.5% points i get on Maybank Amex, it works out to another RM81 discount, giving net price of about RM 1187.

Another issue with the Garage Sale offer of 2years SME warranty is - i checked Samsung website, they said they only offer 1 year warranty for mobile phones. My concern is - especially from buying over the 'net - how reliable is this seller, given the discrepency in warranty terms?

BTW - update on ipmart.com:

SME Set
Items ID : 323253
Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001 - 8GB

The SME set means that the warranty will be covered by Samsung Malaysia Electronics Sdn Bhd.

I must say ipmart.com customer service is excellent - they replied within a few hours of posting a query on both facebook as well as by email.

Another option i am exploring is Senheng. Although the most expensive of the options, (RM1399), they do accept Amex so it brings the price down for me to RM1314. Plus i think(?) i read somewhere on Lowyat that they offer 3 year warranty (i presume its 1 year SME + 2 years store warranty)? Anyway i trying to confirm this morning . ..
