I once bought a garmin GPS locally.
Before that I was looking at mail ordering it but later I decided to get it locally at abt 40% more cost.
After I got my garmin GPS, I used it and soon after 10mins or so it con out. I immediately went back to the local agent and they gave me a brand new unit.
Wow imagine if I bought it from US and the same thing happen then I will need to send back to the US already.
The price difference was around $400. Guess there is just a risk to take.
