Newegg to launch in India

[powerhoney]

^^ You think things like Black Friday will be brought to India?
I can think more of like adaptation to Indian festivals like Diwali.

Am confused now...
They are gonna ship the products from their foreign sites to India, right???
Something on the similar lines to eBay GEB,right???

Or, will it be a completely independent service based in India???

 

[rijinpk1]

and the warranty on imported items?

So many questions ... unanswered. We know nothing right now.
But whatever.. a market focused on just PC components is anytime welcome. Sometime Flipkart prices seems too much. Its time we see a competition.

From what I gather it looks like they follow a strategy similar to automakers.
Initially start by officially opening a India oriented site (may be www.newegg.in or something like that and price in INR - just converted from their $ price with whatever local taxes added on) They wont have much infrastructure locally at that point. Everything is couriered from abroad after order. [This is equivalent to Fully Built Vehicle in the analogy]

Slowly start building some warehouses in India and stock most ordered items locally. Ship them from here and rest from abroad. [This is equivalent to SKD route]

Convert them in to fully fledged local facility including front end staff etc. Start local procurement too. Rare items still shipping direct from abroad. [Something like the CKD route]

Everything locally. [I do not think right now any foreign brand automobile manufacturer does this completely]

One question: What's this Fuly built vehicle, SKD, CKD you are talking about?

One question: What's this Fuly built vehicle, SKD, CKD you are talking about?

From Wikipedia:

A knock-down kit is a kit containing the parts needed to assemble a product. The parts are typically manufactured in one country or region, then exported to another country or region for final assembly. Variant names include knockdown kit, knocked-down kit, or simply knockdown, and the abbreviated KD or CKD.

A common form of knock-down is a completely knock-down (CKD), which is a complete kit needed to assemble a product. It is also a method of supplying parts to a market, particularly in shipping to foreign nations, and serves as a way of counting or pricing.[1] CKD is a common practice within the automotive industry, the bus and heavy truck industry, and the rail vehicle industry, as well as electronics, furniture, and in other products. Businesses sell knocked down kits to their foreign affiliates or licensees for various reasons, including to avoid import taxes, to receive tax preferences for providing local manufacturing jobs, or even to be considered as a bidder at all (for example, in public transit projects with "buy national" rules).

An incompletely disassembled kit is known as SKD for semi-knocked-down. Both types of KDs, complete and incomplete, are collectively referred to within the auto industry as KDX (for knocked-down export), and cars assembled in the country of origin and exported whole to the destination market are known as BUX (for built-up export).

Technically, the terms "knockdown" or "kits of parts" are both misnomers, because the knockdowns were never built up in the first place, and the shipments of parts are often not in the form of kits,[1] but rather bulk-packed by type of part into shipping containers. The degree of "knockdown" depends on the desires and technical abilities of the receiving organization or on government import regulations.[1] Developing nations may pursue trade and economic policies that call for import substitution or local content regulations. Companies with CKD operations help the country substitute the finished products it imports with locally assembled substitutes.

Knockdown kit assembling plants are less expensive to establish and maintain, because they do not need modern robotic equipment, and the workforce is usually much less expensive in comparison to the home country. They may also be effective for low-volume production. The CKD concept allows firms in developing markets to gain expertise in a particular industry. At the same time, the CKD kit exporting company gains new markets that would otherwise be closed.[2]

And, btw, I am the one whose intellect you raised with your glorious words in "OT Thread Lock" thread just a few hours ago, in case you are wondering!!!

Newegg Coming to India!!

After Amazon, now it's newegg. Flipkart and other small retailers are now going to face a huge competition..!!

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Held on the last day of Computex, Newegg's Computex roundtable panel came with a surprise announcement for attendees. The online retailer specialising in electronic goods will soon be expanding to six new countries -- India, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland and Singapore -- on top of the current four countries (US, Canada, UK and Australia) it currently serves.

Instead, Newegg will be approaching its six new markets with a new strategy. The company will ship orders from the US first, and will follow up with "a physical presence to serve local demand."

I dont think the prices wont be lower

check the R9 price, I compared with flipkart more than 4k difference

 

[Nerevarine]

Re: Newegg Coming to India!!

Why are the prices in USD ?

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Re: Newegg Coming to India!!

Well, the problem is right now you won't be getting it cheaper. As they will be shipping from US now, so shipping charge is high. So it'll kill the deal. But once they open warehouse here in India, it'll be awesome.
