http://forum.lowyat.net/ Thu, 02 Jul 2026 16:08:11 +0800 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4841475 I would like to ask if anyone has purchased an iPhone from DirectD ( <a href='http://www.directd.com.my/apple' target='_blank'>http://www.directd.com.my/apple</a> )? Their prices are competitive and the products are advertised as being original, sealed box, one year Apple Malaysia warranty, etc., so they sound the same as those from Switch, Machines, etc. But, one difference is that DirectD are not authorised Apple resellers, whereas Switch and Machines are. I have checked Apple&#39;s sales location finder ( <a href='https://locate.apple.com/my/en/sales/' target='_blank'>https://locate.apple.com/my/en/sales/</a> ) and DirectD do not appear. I have searched previous threads in this forum and the consensus view seems to be this is not a problem, and the products sold by DirectD, Machines, Switch, etc. are all sourced from Apple Malaysia and so are identical.<br /><br />Nevertheless, my concern would be that, in the event of a warranty claim, the fact that the purchase was made from a non-authorised reseller would cause problems.<br /><br />Does anyone have a view please, or perhaps some first-hand experience? Would it be better to just buy from an authorised reseller, even if the price were slightly higher?<br /><br />Many thanks for any advice and guidance&#33; Peter_Pan iPhone Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:09:10 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4795617 Does anyone have any experience of buying an iPhone from VickieBabeStore? They have a good choice at Lelong ( <a href='https://www.lelong.com.my/store/VickieBabeStore/' target='_blank'>https://www.lelong.com.my/store/VickieBabeStore/</a> ). The prices are very low, but I am hesitating in purchasing from them. The phones are new, USA imports, and therefore have no warranty other than one provided by VickieBabeStore themselves. I can therefore foresee difficulties in trying to make a claim. Another thing I don&#39;t like is that, although they say they have a showroom, they do not disclose its location. They say they will reveal its location upon receipt of a WhatsApp request, but why the need for secrecy?<br /><br />They have good feedback on their Lelong page, but still I am inclined to give them a miss. However, I don&#39;t want to miss out on a good deal due to the above concerns.<br /><br />If someone has purchased from this company, and is willing to provide details of their experience, I would be grateful.
