AP is not about how reliable the seller is. They sell but they get their units from their AP distributors. Is the seller gonna fix it for you. If yes the seller is reliable.
Sometimes there are hidden terms and condition like some 6months LCD or 6months battery or everything is 1 year but motherboard 4 years.
The galaxy note 2 do not have a 3.5inch screen if anything happen to your galaxy note 2 screen crack and if the AP company might play a fool they tell you warranty expires or not cover. Most probably the screen will cost at least 800 and above. They get this unit from oversea yes maybe cheaper RM300 - RM400 but how often can the shop afford replacing motherboard and LCD cost RM800 and above? they are doing business not charity.
The risk is on you whether are you willing to take that risk there, We already heard many complaints of AP have warranty issues.
Next how experience are the technician in the AP shop? Are they qualified to repair your phones? Some cases they send in to fix issue A but end up issue A fixed but got issue B. Some even end up got scrathes on the phone and etc.
If your phone do not have any issue until u change is a heck of a good deal but if anything happens within that period dont regret just because to save RM200 - RM300 end up your loss is more than that. Ask yourself AP company parts and repair bare by who? Is the parts fixed in your unit brand new, used or lower quality from AP? Do you know? are u experienced enough to identify it?
ORI set is bare by Samsung. Samsung is not a handphone shop or a seller.
I have bad experience with my Note from one of AP seller.. They don't want to allow me to claim by telling i rooted twice
