guys, my fren is in hong kong right now and i wanted to ask him to buy me an ipod there which of course sells about 20% cheaper than here...

so, may i ask, how bout the warranty? is it valid here? may i send my ipod for warranty here?

As far as i know, all apple product are having international warranty. To double confirm, you can always ask your fren to ask the retailer over there... Just to play safe...

how about, the guy who works at the retailer here, tells you , sure thing, no problem.

for confirmation, call VR Technology, 03 2163 2020

I think for us in Malaysia, we will need to bring our iPod down to Singapore's Apple for warranty claims. I don't think the resellers here will do it for you without u being their customer in the first place.

guys, thanks for the replies.. my fren only comes back 3 weeks later so got time to think about it

besides that, is the 30gb ipod problematic? if its very much free from problem then i wouldnt have to worry much about warranty

You're incorrect.

They would.

Please identify a Service Provider. VR Tech (as referenced by the post before yours) comes highly recommended.

@dannytzh.
The resellers here (Apple Authorised Resellers) do not do warranty claims. That's up to the Service Providers. Its not the same thing.

Resellers = *sell* new items and so on.
Service Providers = repair, replacement parts and or warranty claims.

Its amazing how much mis-information is passed around here in LYN. No need to verify anything here? hmm?

@dannytzh
Listen to some of the specialists here will ya?!

Also, what I can't understand is Y don't you people just go through and read through the fine prints - i'm 100% sure it's stated in there [I've checked it out so don't challenge me on this ]

so, end of the story, i'll able to claim warranty from service provider here with the ipod i purchase from hong kong right?

yes. keep the receipt, make sure its accurate, surely no problems...

yeah, maybe they charge u for transportation fees.

@ all who Shoot Kao me...
Thanks sifus.. lol I say I don't THINK mah..... And I really thought I need to bring my iPod down to Singapore for warranty claim loh. Hhahaahaha...

Sorry for misinformation, Gigalixir.

no problem, i didnt believe u also...

100% sure

thanks for the info..i m just going to buy an ipod in taiwan...cheaper than malaysia at least Rm150

I saw some forumer trying to bulk IPOD for 1185. It seemed to be cheaper than retailed price about 314. So, why would you want to buy it from hong kong? And 1 year warranty from apple is given. Is there any problem with those sales? I just wonder cos I'm too trying to find cheaper Ipod and don't want to get cheated. Share your information or experience.
Thanks.

err...why not try ebay? for ipod video you can save almost rm400 & rm200 for nano (if u can get past customs, that is)... i've recently bought an ipod nano red 8gb from ebay, received it within 1 week & half...nicely packed & working fine with 1 year apple warranty....bought it for rm815 (inclusive of shipping), which is almost rm200 cheaper, plus i got the PRODUCT red nano which is unavailable in malaysia...

Glad to hear your purchase went well, Dawn.

yes, it did. very much thanks to you, MacDaNife for all your tips....

That's mean it's still risky to buy from ebay as customs might be troublesome?

BTW, is that safe to buy from LYN forumer? I worry it's counterfeit, but the warranty stated there is from Apple. I need some advice.
