Buying gears from overseas online stores and warranty

[Yunalesca]

Hi people,

Anyone of you here had the experience of buying gears from overseas online stores and shipping over to Singapore? I've got my eyes set on some gears in one of those overseas online stores, Sweetwaters to be exact.

But I am wondering about the warranty, how will it work? Since they are wayyy over there in US/UK and we are here in SG.
Are we still covered over here? Or are you all taking a risk by forgoing the warranty?

Have already emailed the shops but it's been 3 days already and still no replies from them
Would gladly appreciate some input from peeps with past exp with online gears purchases~

You may have to send all the way back to usa if you want their warranty cover. What are you looking to get? Some brands might have international cover.
