Even if you get it from some online shop you may have to face some really hard time with distributors like this. They don't honor products bought from online shop or other state. They will only offer local warranty and it comes with this kind of warranty issues.
So another option is to avoid all the products distributed by these kind of distributors but that will give us very narrow choice and not many people like to ship their product to other state ( if you bought it online/ from some other state ) to get warranty.
Antec and Lian Li is very hard to find in here and NZXT is not here at all.
It's very rare to find gfx cards made by the last three manufacturers you quoted.
I'm totally agree with topgear.
I already have this kind of experience in recent past.
Some distributors will not take product for RMA if those things are not distributed by them locally.
Even Tirupati din not take my Palit card even thought it was clearly written on the box "Imported by Tirupati".....

Well then order it online. High time people left the stigma of online shopping vs. offline. People want to see the tangible product -- and then later on prefer to face distributors like Rashi/XFX.
Not hitting at you Revolution, but just a general trend I notice amongst Indian buyers.
U may be right at ur point.
But we are not wrong either.
The situation is fcking different in Kolkata than other city like Delhi or Mumbai.
Doesn't matter how smart or noob u could be fcked up like me.
But,u should never trust any dealer blindly what I did last time trusting fcking M D Computer.
Always beware and try to stay away from this kind of fcking cheater brand like XFX and dealer like M.D Computer.
M.D. have tendency to cheat noob ppl like me.
And RMA service varies place to place so we have to share our experiences in forums so ppl will know about the truth.....
