"Official" petition for Direct Sales to Australia, Step Up Program and EVGA Bucks.
 
There are many of us in Australia who wish to purchase EVGA products direct from EVGA.
It is hard for us to get hold of the latest products here and we all wish we could just order direct.
 
If your from Australia please /sign
The more they see our need, the more likely they are to provide direct sales to us. 
Lets prove there is a market in Australia.
 

Duane Bretherton - EVGA AU/NZ Country Manager We would very much like to introduce some of these EVGA features to the AU community like the Step Up program and EVGA bucks but this takes time and the right infrastructure to make it work efficiently. In time we can start with baby steps, please understand the AU market is smaller than other demanding countries so makes it very volatile and in tough times can be a fragile market. However, we will persist to push EVGA down under.

Matthew Hurwitz - Assistant Product Manager Thanks for the feedback. Rest assured AU isn't being ignored. We are working on ways to support our AU customers better, including our new global warranty that we will announce tomorrow. Again we appreciate the support for our brand, stay tuned!

I'm from the states and I say, "Ship the cards to my mates!"

I just want to be able to buy from EVGA.
I buy from FrozenCPU all the time and it doesnt cost much to get parts sent to Aust.
 
Buying in USA + Postage from USA to Aust = way less then to buy in Australia, if you can buy in first place...

agreed!!!

Yup, I am obviously in for this or if FrozenCPU stocks them as the shipping to AU is reasonable.

but what about the new warrenty changes can these now be rma'ed throw the australian chanels

 
Well I am after a graphics card, gave up on the motherboards ;) you can almost purchase 2x brand new hydro units to the cost of 1x unit here so even if you had to ship the item back to the USA you'd still be ahead.

The Bear agrees to & why not set up an office over there to better sever Australia, too!

+1...  I had no idea Australian's were being denied such necessities of life!!!

I asked about this in July last year. This is the reply I got
 
Hi Simba,
Thanks for the feedback here. We will amend the where to buy page on EVGA.com
 
In future, the best site for you to source information will be www.evga.com.au you can check here regularly to find local promotions or events, recommended retailers, system house and etail.

I'd love it if EVGA made an online store available for us.  Not only so we could use our EVGA bucks, but so we can avoid the blatant rip-offs that computer retailers charge in this country.
Currently the 680 is selling for $650-$699 AU at stores in Australia.
 
You can buy it cheaper from the States, including shipping!
Plus it's almost impossible to find a store that stocks a decent range of eVGA parts.
 
C'mon eVGA, time to step up and give your southern hemisphere customers some love!
 
 
 
 
 

Yes please!
 
Best I found was TigerDirect, they will ship internationally. A GTX 680 from there was gonna cost me $599.40AUD shipped to Melbourne. Still $100 cheaper than buying from CPL/PCCaseGear/etc.

Theres a EVGA 680 Hydro copper on ebay and guess what they want for it ...... AU$1216.32 and thats the cheap one lol 
 
People are trying to rip others off, I want cards at price, not double markup....

Thanks everyone for the support

As for EVGA.com.au what a joke... they havnt listed any 680's and they are still trying to sell -

EVGA GeForce GTX 580 FTW Hydro Copper 2 @ $720
How much are they going to want for a 680 HC $1000 plus?

Actually EVGA Australia doesn't sell anything, you can't purchase off them and that's MSRP, you can't actually buy the card anywhere for that price....

 
^ Yep true.  They also dont have Australian Forums...
 
A second 680 HC on ebay = AU$ 1448.01

i sign it aswell, wish we had more evga products down under,

EVGA please post to australia!!!!!!
 
their is a massive need!!
