Hi all, I plan to buy a Sigma 17-70mm OS lens. And then I saw this website:

http://www.valuebasket.com/en_MY/Sigma-17-...aign=pricepanda

Which offers a great price at RM 1265 only. On the other hand, they also offers 7 year extended warranty for only RM 148! So I wanna ask you guys if you know this site could be trusted or not?

Please suggest a better place to buy if you know there is a cheaper price there.

Thanks!

I just found that they are selling Lumia 920 for MYR1,40x with 36 mths self-company warranty! According to their site, the warranty cover unlimited courier and shall the phone could be further repair, they willing to replace a new mobile.

Sound very fishy to me.
I going to them a pass.

If they ship from other country than Malaysia, definitely have to go through Import Procedure such as Tax, Duty and Certification (alike SIRIM, I don't remember the exact name now).

No, I will not and do not have intention to buy from that website. Very fishy.

Don't buy from Valuebasket. I ordered a flash from them on ebay for a good price. They took forever to ship it out after me chasing at least 4 separate times. Then they used an incompetent shipper, who simply did not turn up for 2 pre-arranged scheduled deliveries. I am now claiming a refund from Paypal as neither the delivery company or Valuebasket seem interested in getting the box delivered, as far as they are concerned they have each done their job. This is the worst purchasing experience I have ever had in 15 years at ebay, which is saying a lot.

I just thought want to buy something from them .But I think the price is without tax.It should be included with tax which I am sure the item is not in MY currently. ..It just a marketing gimmick to make you buy one, it was like an auto currency converted.
