What is "Grey Market"?
Unauthorised Importers:
Generally, a manufacturer works with a single importer who can sell and support their products in a given region. The importer usually has local dealers and distributors who resell the imported products; this is called a "distribution channel". Grey Market refers to merchandise that is imported and sold by methods other than normal channels.
GoPro India has recently reported that their products on Amazon and Flipkart were sold at cheaper prices by unauthorized sellers on respective platforms. Customers are hereby advised to check warranty information and hologram on the outer box of the GoPro camera before the purchase.
How Does "Grey Market" Stock Affect Me?
Generally Grey market goods have no factory warranty, and receive no customer support from the legitimate importer.
In the case of GoPro cameras, you probably won't be able to get software and firmware updates, and may not be able to get service for it no matter how much you are willing to pay, because the very specialised parts and service jigs, firmware and software are only available directly from the legitimate importer, or the manufacturer.
