Ddr 4 prices

[faisalhaider]

DDR4 prices in recent days have fallen drastically and has almost come near to the price of DDR3 in international market check out price of Gskill ripjaws DDR4 (2133 - 2666 mhz) prices on newegg. 8GB kit is selling for 38$ where as 16GB kit is selling for 68$. Also other RAM manufacturers such as kingston , corsair , Adata and others has cut down prices as well .

I wonder when the Pakistani vendors are going to reduce the prices of DDR4 kits ? And will we ever see prices near to international market prices (10 $ price difference on a single kit is acceptable) but prices almost twice the international market price when supply is high and demand is low is simply unacceptable .


Disclaimer : If someone argues that taxes and shipping cost makes products costly in Pakistan then please bear in mind that America also put equally high taxes on products and majority of these products are made outside of America (Taiwan ,Hong Kong, China mainly ) so they also have to bear shipping cost as well.

That will most likely never happen. Not unless PK stops being governed by a bunch of thieves and robbers. Gog Magog have a higher chance of escaping before that happens (lmao)

If you think these Paki politicians are robbers and thieves then you don't know jackshit about American Capitalism ! At-least these robbers also let you rob the system through tax aversion if you can grease the wheel.

Lets not drift from the topic I wanna see fair and fruitful opinions and some action being taken if any of the vendors are seeing this thread.................

There are multiple reasons for this. I can let you know a few which we face (not talking about other distributors who have been in the market for much longer and have a strong dealer network).

1. We have a low turnover. It takes a few months for us to clear our stocks. During these few months, the international prices drop, however our cost price does not as we purchased when prices were higher.

2. We offer 3 years warranty. If a single stick goes bad in that long period, we have to send it back which costs atleast $50 even if its a 100 gram shipment. That basically eliminates profits made from selling multiple RAMs.

3. We cannot compare to Newegg and we will never be able to buy at the prices they buy at from the factories. If you think otherwise please take a distributorship and import stuff. You will get to know what the landed cost is.

4. America in NO WAY has the same taxes or import duties we have. It has 0% import duties on computer components. It also has a much lower sales tax. When we import we have to pay around 30% in duties and taxes and shipping is extra.

Our prices will go down even further as our old stock clears and new one comes in (which will cost us significantly less).

Well I have been buying from [MENTION=72]DSM1[/MENTION] since a while and his prices are okay , recently ddr4 price have come down a lot my previous purchase of ram is more expensive then current purchase ,
Now the thing is e.g a data ram has come n rates what's happening is shops getting stocks from Dubai which to them is cheaper and they offer 12 month warranty , a lot of shops imported 6700k from Dubai and gave 12 months warranty only , cozy it was from Dubai paid 44k for it but now official rate is 39k with 3 years warranty.
At least I have peace of mind that 3 years warranty is there by that time who knows ddr5 or ddr 6 would be available.

Importing stuff is expensive pls local customs n charges eat in to the equation.

I am told by [MENTION=72]DSM1[/MENTION] that new stock of Rams will be better priced

kingston value ddr4 2400mhz for 4100 /- .....its geting better n better

 

[faisalhaider]

Nice to see price drops after the post and yes after looking at Kingston ddr4 prices it really is getting better and according to international market prices..................
[MENTION=72]DSM1[/MENTION] : he needs to make price more competitive as kingston is offering really nice deals like their 8gb value ddr4 2133 for 4100 and 8gb hyperx fury 2400mhz ddr4 for 5200 rs.

He also needs to reconsider his zotac SSD prices as it is also a product zotac targets for mainstream market( not enthusiast market) therefore priced it at 80$ MSRP all over the world ( I have seen the drive sell for 65$ on amazon as well). I am sure he is getting the drive at dealers price way less than 80$ . You need to lower your premium if u need to increase your sales .........

 

[DSM1]

@faisalhaider Our prices are very competitive with the local market, and they will remain the same for the time being. Our ZOTAC SSD is priced very nicely at Rs. 10,199. It will go down in the future as we get better pricing. For those who cannot afford the ZOTAC at the current price, we have the Patriot Blast at Rs. 9,299 with local warranty. That too is much better than Kingston or Transcend.

I know it is useless to argue with people who are never satisfied. I would highly recommend you buy your computer products from Kingston, or import them from the places you get them for $80 without warranty.

Dealers do get better pricing, but that is because they take the risk of importing large quantities and invest their cash into the business. They do not get better prices for community welfare purposes. They are responsible for marketing, after-sales services (RMA/repairs etc), supply chain management etc.

Once again please do not compare our prices to the U.S, unless you can actually buy at those prices and get the same after-sales living in Pakistan. Remember this is Pakistan, where a base model 2.4L Honda Accord or Toyota Camry costs in excess of US$ 100,000. The same cars start in the mid US$20k range in the United States.

[MENTION=26101]faisalhaider[/MENTION]

I have a few points which should, I hope, put to rest the issues people have with our pricing.

I wanted to touch upon the $65 price on Amazon. That price is for the Zotac 240GB SSD, not the Zotac *Premium* 240GB SSD which uses a different cell technology. We'll be getting the cheaper Zotac 240GB SSDs soon so the price will definitely be cheaper than the current rate.

Also, another thing to note is that when you buy Kingston or even Corsair RAMs, you don't have a direct link to the distributor. If you have absolutely any issues, you have to jump through a few hoops to get it solved.

When you buy products sold by us, you're not only paying for the price of the product, you also pay for the after sales service we provide. Our phone numbers are listed on the website and we're pretty much available from 9am to 11pm most days.

We've had 2 RMA's up til now, an SSD and a keyboard. For the SSD, we provided a replacement SSD the next day (after checking). The keyboard was returned from Karachi so the buyer had to pay shipment and we refunded the money as soon as we received the shipment. I doubt you'll find that sort of service with other distributors.

We've sold quite a few products now and there has yet to be any serious complaint (other than a few delays in shipment which weren't in our control).

I'll reiterate, we don't and most likely won't ever be able to match prices shown on Amazon, NewEgg etc. It's ludicrous to even compare us with any of the multi billion dollar retailers who sell more products in an hour than the whole ecommerce industry in Pakistan combined.

Amazon, NewEgg DO NOT provide RMA services after their initial return policy is finished (in most cases 30 days). All RMAs are handled by the distributor reps based in North America. If a majority of people are willing to handle all RMAs on their own, we'll reduce our prices in a heartbeat and save ourselves the headache of worrying about handling any RMAs

More price cuts in DDR4 sticks by Kingston and corsair vendors !

I have also seen Kingston Heperx fury and hyperx savage SSD in the market both at reasonable rates . People who are comparing their products with cheaper and inferior Kingston SSD drives (SSD V300) are comparing apples with oranges if they really wanna do compare then they should do it with kingston top of the line hyper x savage SSD which is selling at a reasonable price close to their international market value . Which again reiterates my point that official distributors should sell things at official price or
+ -5% .

Again I am not an official rep of Kingston or Corsair . I just want to see people getting good products at best possible price and service .......

 

[DSM1]

Official distributors set the official price and that official price can be viewed on the relevant official distributor's website. Amazon and Newegg are not the official distributors in Pakistan and their prices have no bearing on our prices.

Anyway I suggest you smuggle products for yourself and and provide yourself all the services too.

 

[faisalhaider]

FYI : these price change I am talking about is in the Pakistani market by the distributors of Kingston and corsair and the hyper x savage SSD has been available in the Pakistani market at very competitive rates !

 

[asadsm]

[MENTION=26101]faisalhaider[/MENTION] so you're comparing us with distributors who sell 2000 pieces of ram in a month and have been established in the market for +10 years? I'm not sure what you're trying to insinuate but correct me if I'm wrong, you believe we get the SAME sort of discounts from our vendors like the kingston and corsair distributors here.

Frankly, we don't really care, no offense. People are happy with our service and prices. We try our best to reduce prices when we can but this is a business, not charity. We're trying to convert it into a viable business but believe me, this isn't our source of income. We sell the Aegis and NT budget rams at the cost price (without shipping, so we lose about Rs. 100-200 on each budget RAM) to introduce the brand.
