Price Differences (Where to Buy)
Remember!
You can get on the broken, non-working, used, stolen from the Activation lock, a divorce for money and refurbished (ie, restored)
Be careful!
RESTORED Phones come in three types: the restored factory, restored by the seller, the restored "official" service. They are not always marked with the model number that begins with В«FВ», but often the quality is just horrible. Each of these kind of new smartphones you can buy in large stores, such as shares and sales.

RRussia:
  1. Official Apple Store in Russia
    Phone Eurotest. Free shipping, if problems arise within two weeks, they will arrive and take back / exchange for a new one. Minus - the high official price.
  2. Official Apple Store in the USA
    Delivery only through intermediaries.
    Minuses:

    • May refuse to purchase with the wording that they do not send to the addresses of intermediaries, the money will hang in hold on the card for up to 30 days.
    • They refuse to buy randomly. They may equally refuse to send to the Parcel Post, Shopfans, etc.
    • Successful purchases are also there. In general, try.
    • Price depends on the ruble exchange rate. It is better to pay with a dollar card.

  3. Yandex Market
    Go, look for the desired model, call, check the price / availability, go pick up / order a courier.
    ATTENTION! In no case do not agree to prepay, it is better to immediately discard such options.
  4. MVideo, Connected.
    Go, look for the desired model, call, check the price / availability, go pick up / order a courier.
    You can get a loan. These sellers sometimes offer installments, which is really profitable, but this requires some tricks when making a loan (refusal of insurance, SMS informing, etc.). It is better to read the last pages of the topic to know where to take and what are the pitfalls. Search by topic for "credit".
  5. ComputerUniverse.net
    There are no special nuances:
    • Delivery is carried out in Germany by DHL ( not DHL Express ), then in Russia - by Post of Russia to the post office. Many who buy this method.
    • The price is pegged to the ruble to the euro.

  6. EBAY, Aliexpress ~ Used: Avito
    It is recommended only for experienced buyers at these sites.


A separate topic about the purchase on the websites AliExpress and the like.
Buying on such sites is a lottery. No advice before buying will help - all at your own peril and risk.
The main thing:
- you can buy a phone in absolutely any condition from working to completely faulty;
- there are no separate and proven vendors - you can buy a worker, a problem, and a completely non-working device from anyone;
- devices are restored outside of official services - huge chances to get a phone with a curved body, slots, as well as with an inactive fingerprint scanner;
- the box will be sealed and packaged handicraft, the phone will have a fake, but the new case will give the illusion of novelty;
- there may be any traces of vital activity of past owners inside - no matter how ridiculous it may be, but there may be someone else's sweat, drool and dust, because no one makes serious cleansing while preparing the device for sale;
- accessories in the kit (headphones, charger) will be fake, and a fake charger in most cases quickly disables the device.
If you choose a seller by reviews, then you should know - most of the reviews are written in joyful euphoria immediately after receiving the device, when nothing has been properly considered, tested and tried. I also remind you that one person can buy a working device and write a laudatory review on this matter, while the other will fall into a non-working or problem device.

HaveKrajina:
  1. Citrus
  2. MyCloudStore (Kiev)
  3. Hello
  4. Stylus.ua
  5. iCom
  6. Official Apple Store in the USA
    Delivery only through intermediaries. There are downsides. The price is pegged to the hryvnia against the dollar.
  7. EBAY, Aliexpress ~ Used: OLX or Aukro
    It is recommended only for experienced buyers at these sites.
  8. Yandex Market
    Go, look for the desired model, call, check the price / availability, go pick up / order a courier.
    ATTENTION! In no case do not agree to prepay, it is better to immediately discard such options.


What to check when buying
  1. Appearance (IMEI compliance on the box and SIM card tray)
  2. Check by serial number information about the activation.https://checkcoverage.apple.com/
  3. Lack of slots for 2x SIM cards, TVs, flash drives, etc.
  4. The presence of iOS, not Android or JavaOS.

Although it is possible to visually forge anything of the above, including imei and serial, but the most important and effective way to make sure that the phone works is to completely reset all settings:
Settings - General - Reset - Erase content and settings
After that, the phone with the inserted sim card must be activated (this is important) and fully boot up to the desktop with icons. If the phone has a working sim cardstops at the activation stepthen you have a “brick” in your hands, which you can safely return to the seller.

And do not tell me, can I pay with a usual visa card or are there any restrictions? And how much time the order goes, from the moment of purchase. In the apple store, I understood from 3 to 5 days in a queue and then how long does it go on average to Russia?



Rep: (238)

I have a classic Sberbank visa.

And how much time the order goes, from the moment of purchase. In the apple store, I understood from 3 to 5 days in a queue and then how long does it go on average to Russia?

Before the mediator went 5 days. Then it is important how quickly the intermediary will send and from 5-7 days to Russia, depends on the intermediary and the chosen delivery method

I have a different situation. Girlfriend travels to the USA. I plan to give her money so she went into the store and bought the device.
This is real?

different situation

really, only it will most likely be locked to the operator.

It's easier to go to T-Mobile and ask for the full cost without being tied to the operator!



Rep: (21)
Thank you all for the answers.
And more. On the website of Apple prices without VAT like as? Or does it not matter anymore, is it already a purchase not for export?
That is $ 949 (128 GB) + $ 15 shipping = $ 964 (at the rate of 65.65) roughly speaking, we get 63280 re for everything about everything?

* landsand,
Depends on the state where you will order. If the state has 0% tax, then the tax, respectively, will not be taken at all. When ordering, the website indicates the tax value based on the shipping address.

The cost of the device + 15 dollars. delivery Banderolki + 42 dollars. insurance.
Is it all part of the expense?

$ 42 is shipping with insurance already.



Rep: (21)
And two more exciting moments.
1. The money was withdrawn, the goods went to the parcel post.
Where is the guarantee that I won’t be thrown by the Banderolk after receiving my goods?

2. Suppose the Banderolka did not throw me and sent me the goods. Where and from whom do I get it? Or is it brought straight to your hands?
