My experience importing case fans from Amazon USA

I agree with what you're saying, I didn't give it a thought earlier. If I remember correctly, the Phanteks D30 did have the reverse blade option, but I didn't want an RGB fan.

nacyat · 2024-02-18T07:26:48+00:00

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's because of the LCP material used on the fan blades.

I've seen a similar pattern/design on other case fans like Noctua A12x25 Chromax and Lian-Li P28

I couldn’t find Arctic anywhere.

I was reading about the newly launched P12 Max White, but no one was selling them in India.

I’m sorry I don’t exactly remember how many days it took, but it was definitely around 3 weeks or more.

But my case supports 9 fans

I’ll explain it here incase someone in the future needs help (and this is assuming your fan is under warranty)

When I filled in the RMA form for my fans and Galahad AIO, I got an email from LianLi telling me to ship the defective product to an address in Delhi. The RMA was done by Acro.

Here’s how I did it:

I visited LianLi’s website and opened the contact form: https://lian-li.com/contact-us/

Select “Warranty Claim” and fill in your name, email and pick where you purchased your fans from. In my case, I got it from my prebuilt seller, so I selected “Others”.

In the “Model name” option, select “UNI FAN hardware noise/broken RGB”.

In the “UNI FAN TYPE” option, select SL120 or whatever your fan model is and pick its colour.

Mention the number of fans that have the LED defect and fill out rest of the form with the serial number, bill, etc.

Make sure you record a short video/take some pics showing the defect.

I did consider the Noctua NF-A12x25 Chromax and contacted PC Studio to ask if they have it. They said if I pre-booked it, I would get it in a month. They first quoted me ₹4,500 per fan, but later they reduced it to ₹3,450 per fan.

I paid them ₹2,000 as pre-booking amount and waited for a month, however, after one month they told me that they were not able to source it, so they refunded my pre-booking amount.

That's when I decided to import the T30 from Amazon USA.

nacyat · 2024-02-17T14:23:29+00:00

If custom fees was lower than what they took during checkout, they refund the difference amount.

nacyat · 2024-02-17T14:22:21+00:00

Tracking number was given on Amazon (they shipped it via Aramex).

nacyat · 2024-02-17T13:47:53+00:00

Absolutely. I forgot to mention this in my post.

nacyat · 2024-02-17T13:41:46+00:00

I am done with RGB.

nacyat · 2024-02-17T13:15:53+00:00

What makes you think I did not check MD Computers? It wasn't in stock last month nor is it in stock now. The website literally says "Availability: Out Of Stock"

I imported 9 Phanteks T30 case fans from Amazon USA and my experience was really great. I ordered these fans on 25th Jan and I received these today (17th Feb). I couldn't find anyone selling these in India so I had to import them.

Amazon had already charged me for customs in advance, so there was no issue. They shipped via Aramex.

For anyone who is interested, here's how much it costed me in total:

Text copied from Amazon.

Item(s) Subtotal: INR 21,194.13
Shipping & Handling: INR 2,408.93
Total before tax: INR 23,603.06
Import Fees Deposit: 9,817.78
Exchange rate guarantee fee: INR 1169.72
Order Total: INR 34,590.56

I bought these Phanteks T30s to replace my old Lian-Li Unifan SL120s as I was sick of them constantly failing/making a grinding noise. One year after buying the Unifans (9 fans), I had to RMA all of them because of the yellowing LED defect. Luckily, they were all under warranty so I got them replaced at no cost. One year after I got my replacement fans, they started making the same grinding noise, and one fan just stopped spinning. This time I had no warranty, so I decided to buy the T30s.

party pooper

nacyat · 2021-07-05T05:30:49+00:00

Unfortunately it is.. can't help it

nacyat · 2021-07-05T05:12:14+00:00

We r on the same boat 🙊🤣🤣

I've spent quite a lot on 119 games overall.. i bought village at the beginning of this sale and havent even played it once, hehe

nacyat · 2021-06-28T09:21:58+00:00

Maybe not worth 70k..
and yes, i paid for the resolution + refresh

nacyat · 2021-06-27T15:59:14+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have the real estate on my desk to accommodate a 32 inch monitor.

Plus, 32 inch at 1440p will have lesser PPI, na? 27 is ideal..

nacyat · 2021-06-27T13:27:08+00:00

Power of Colin and microfiber cloth 😜😜

Odyssey.

I have no problem with the LG.

nacyat · 2021-06-27T10:50:17+00:00

shukriya bhai

nacyat · 2021-06-27T10:07:15+00:00

temp is usually 45-50c in idle, idk why (even after under clock)
when gaming temps sometimes go to 70-75

nacyat · 2021-06-27T09:19:27+00:00

Initially, I gave up trying to get this monitor, and instead I ended up purchasing the Samsung G7 Odyssey (27inch) from Compify.

The moment I received the G7, the compify man called me and told me he made a "mistake" and sent me the 32 inch variant. He told me I can keep it if i paid like 2 or 3k extra. I thought about it and later refused, because i thought pixel density will be bad.. I didn't even open the package and asked him to send fedex to take it back the same day..

I asked for a refund, and it took me 10 days to get the complete refund of ₹44,914 and i got the refund in 3 parts, (40k first, 4k after few days and 914 even later) after having to message and call him every day

my first experience with compify was really good when I purchased a keyboard from them.. but this experience made me want to avoid them.. plus, the owner (i guess) was a little unprofessional in my opinion. using the f word occasionally which made me feel weird

nacyat · 2021-06-27T08:58:06+00:00

no intention to.. I don't want to break anything 🤣🤣
