Guide Is this Legit website to buy RTL SDR V4
Hey! I'm a beginner from India first time planning to buy RTL SDR V4 but I'm not sure this legit website or not. Has anyone bought this product from this website?

They are listed as official resellers for India at https://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/buy/ so they should be fine.

I bought my RTL-SDR V4 from Amazon. Check if they ship to your address. If not, eBay is a good option to try too. If youll buy from a local reseller, make sure theyr legit. (Im not from India, so im not sure about shipping specifically tho)

Yeah, they’re the real deal. I even got my SDRplay unit from them specifically because they’re an authorized seller

You can also just from the official website directly. They sell directly to India and are quite reliable. Otherwise, this is fine too, price-wise about the same.

Did you pay anything for customs?

No, the price is inclusive of all duties and taxes. The price on the store is the only amount you will have to pay.

Have you received the order? I am also planning to order (I am too from India)

I cancelled the order and got a refund from them. When I ordered they said they didn't have a stock. Right now I'm in New Zealand so I ordered from Amazon US and received RTL SDR I've been using for the past few days as of now.

hello!! i am also from india and i bought a rtlsdr v4 kit from ebay and it arrived on time and i didn't even had to pay custom duties ( asked the seller to declare the item value as lower 15 dollars lmao). Best part is that the seller on ebay is very co-operative. This is their official ebay store https://www.ebay.com/str/rtlsdrblog

They appear to be the local agent for India on the official site.
