is it much better to get it from online store than the retail stores?

I just started reading this thread and first few pages are about advantages of fast delivery but now since its been out so long, that advantage is nullified already right? hence my question.

Sorry I didnt have time to go through all 150 pages.

and btw.. garage sales only selling like 150bucks cheaper, and its already opened, and its not the color i want. so yeah..

There are many good deals on unsealed sets in garage sales. You just have to get your eyes peeled to notice the better ones.

i just got mine shipped out today by DHL... will be deliver i think tml... Im working and not in the house.. izzit ok my mum help me to sign off? or need myself to sign??

Not really... Dead pixel is very obvious defect and can be consider as serious issue which they cannot refuse for warranty claim. Normally they only will reject your claim for a small thing such as yellowish screen, rattle button, etc...

He said use 1 year wait for 6s then only claim warranty. U hunk reseller will still layan?
They will tell u normal wear and tear during that time. Just wait and see.
I second week go reseller claim warranty also went through hell dy, what more use 1 year.

Did he mention 1 year? He just said wait for 6S. The iPhone 6S most probably will be launched by this september, by that time his iPhone still covered by warranty. If after one year why on earth he go to claim warranty?

Well, you go to shop and touch it, and buy from online store

Of course buy from online store, hassle less to return if unsatisy

Please do not use CIMB cc due to cross border charges

Ya your mum can help you sign... as long as got people at home okay d

Ok 9 months. U seriously think reseller will still layan when they even throw out my 2 week old warranty claim?
Nvm la, u never experience b4 the hell I went through with reseller. Same with all the negative reviews posted in their customer service fb page and those already complaint here.
Hope u don't have to go through warranty claim with them.
Peace out.

Sorry to have caused an argument

Both of you are right to have a say. Yeah bro Sonic, the 6S will probably be released in September, and probably arrive in Malaysia in November, which by then my phone would still be covered by warranty as it's 10 months old. But then what bro 666devil had gone through sounds awful. Getting a lot of trouble for claiming warranty of a 2-week old phone is that tough already, imagine my 10-month old phone. There are 2 scenarios, I might go to the customer service centre and meet someone who accepts the pain of having a dead pixel by looking at it everyday, or someone who says it's too tiny of a problem to get a warranty claim.

I would be feeling bad all my life selling someone a refurbished unit in the future. So I decided to exchange 1-1 and get a new set instead. DHL came to pick up my phone yesterday evening, Apple said the phone needs to reach the warehouse first before sending me a new one. He said it would be 7-9 business days Hope it'll be reaching me soon enough, and hoping the new one comes without any problem. *fingers-crossed*

You made a good choice. Don't worry, I'm using a refurbished unit now too. I can tell u the quality is even better compared to out of factory. Refurbished they QC very detail until no defect b4 release. The external casing all new. Internal component they just replace the faulty parts. Those new from factory they random sampling coz rush job to meet demand, hence so many defect units and warranty claim. U go to machines service center u will know what I mean. They already lazy layan, hence all the complaints in their FB page.
Don't feel bad selling refurbished. Most of all, enjoy using it. I have been so far

Just want to share my experience...

I have claim the warranty for my iPod Touch from Machines KLCC, about years ago. Everything went smooth.

I have claim the warranty for my iPhone 5, 1 day before warranty expired. Firstly go to Celcom Ampang, they reject my claim. Then go to Celcom Pavillion. Got accepted without any hassle.

In my humble opinion, its all depends on how we deal with the person in charge. And just remember this, if one centre reject it, there might be any other centre who willing to accept it. It is clearly stated that warranty is 1 YEAR, then it is no matter two weeks, two months, it still covered by warranty!

My style is simple, if one door is closed, there must be more doors opened...

Just my 2 cents!

I see, that sounds good. How long did you have to wait for it to be claimed? I was wondering that too with refurbished set, the outer casing is new or used. Good for you receiving a better replacement after claiming

I see. Yeah I guess it depends on the individual working at the service center too. Same experience when I went over to the one at One Utama last monday. First I met this guy who didn't even smiile, he said 'don't even bother claiming if it doesn't affect you, we will only give you a refurbished unit'.. It sounded like he wanted to give me an old unit as replacement lol. And the he said talk to the other guy from the counter, that guy was friendly, checking my unit to see the dead pixel, agreeing there is a dead pixel, and telling me to call apple instead and request for a new one,

True, if you want it bad enough, many doors are waiting for you, even if some are closed

Great! Good luck for u. Hopefully u can get a flawless unit. Do update us when u received your replacement...

Now lets get back to the topic... Since we are discussing something bout out of topic...

Thanks man. Yeah, hopefully I get it soon enough cause I'm going back to Kelantan soon. My current unit =

Do take note of the public holidays. However, you will definately receive your phone before the estimated delivery date.

I received it wayyy earlier than the estimated delivery date. Ordered on monday night, received on thursday. But yeah it's public holiday so you have to add up.

anyone mind to tell the unit ordered from Apple Store is MY/SG set? It wont be UK set or any, correct?
