ok thank you. it is okay right if I paid the deposit first then after I purchased the Plosone membership online. I will only pay the phone in full at the outlet once it is ready for pickup.

Senheng is good option to buy. Unfortunately they only has limited stock. Not like Switch or Machine. I could not get the silver and end up has to go for other store.


BTW, I want to ask TG ... Spigen / Ringke / Uniq / Hoda / Rhinoshied.... which one the best?

Is Uniq good? Because I found they have case and TG now.

I order at 12.38am and the email confirm mention 3 weeks onwards so I assume I am on second batch. Then just now receive email mention ready to collect from 23 September.

Want to buy iphone, i think reliable source is switch and machines ...

The rest they sell rojak ... like senheng ... they got no restock at all .. and Harvey this time diam diam.

At least we can see switch and machine compete each other to get stock for october onwards.

See all comments .. that's why I said only Switch and Machines still better.

ITWorld got cases postpone 1st batch to 2nd batch also. The best thing IT World provides is 2 yrs warranty. But they never provide 3rd batch .. looks like they are not easy to get stock. Could be due to location in Ipoh but not KL.

For Machines, i will never can get the contact for machines branch in Penang. Not easy to reach them. And Penang only has 1 branch.

Switch is the best. Got many branches whole Malaysia. This time I opted for Machines Shopee due to Switch restock their 3rd batch too late. As of now, I just waiting 3rd batch Machines Shopee ... Which they dont want to give me any ETA. The shopee website said ship out on Jun 2023. Really annoying too.

Like you all I hope can get the phone ASAP. But no luck. I placed order on 17th Sep.

Hang in there! Probably you get urs next week. Date on Shopee might be Machines set that way to avoid order auto-cancel by system
*
Hopefully. Thanks for enlighten me. I hope can get it at least 7th Oct. I cannot ask more because I know my is 3rd Batch. But at least Machine should tell me the ETA to make me feel better. but keep saying "Wil notify you when stock available. no ETA." This kind of service really piss me off.


QUOTE(lexasp @ Sep 21 2022, 06:24 PM)
I learned my lesson too, next year I will just go get it from switch, machines is horrible.
No idea what is happening with my order, I order from their brick and mortar store.

Customer service is almost non-existent.
*
Exactly. I will try to go switch next time.

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 21 2022, 06:32 PM)
so how? since you can't collect it on 23rd and they can't keep it for you for 27th..
have to say so far I'm happy with Switch's services, from beginning to now they have been keeping us updated, even their CS on WhatsApp and FB gave prompt and detailed responses... only thing Switch doesn't offer us much, not even complimentary year 2 warranty sad.gif
*
You can pay RM49 for 2nd year. Which I think is pretty good than nothing.

If you notice those late place order after midnight, only machines left with lot of choice for user to place order.

The rest all OOS especially for hot spec like 256G.

14PM DP128 Batch 2.
Shoppee Switch. Ordered 18/9, 8.30pm.

I see. I think there are lot of 128G stock. Even they can provide now for batch2.

I am new to apple. Is 128G really sufficient? I use android up to 1 yr and already occupied 128g for my data.

Hi all, I'm a little (or extremely) late to join the party. I've just decided to upgrade and may I know where actually offers the quickest to obtain the phone? I see apple website states 4-5 weeks, around nov soonest to get the phone. Looking to get pro max black/purple 256/512gb.

and congratulations to all that has received your new iPhone!
*
I think Gold color is most easy to get. other than gold will be hard. Especially silver OOS very earlier.

QUOTE(NXaqua @ Sep 24 2022, 02:15 PM)
Just paid RM300.00 for preorder 14 Pro Max 256 purple at Switch.
Using Maybank CC, they will give RM50.00 voucher.

ETA is 30-10-2022.

Informed the sales guy to call  if other colour is available earlier.
*
I dont believe you need to wait for so long... most probably 22 Oct. it is earliest pick up date they allowed now.

I use 128gb is because I subscribed to 2T cloud.
My phone is just for apps. All photos and videos of my I dump to cloud to safe guard lost of photos in case I lose the phone.
*
This is the monthly price your paid? Right? 40x12 ... RM480. Still worth than buy extra space for phone. 128g to 256g need to pay extra rm500. And 128g to 512g need to pay extra rm1500. wow! Go to iCloud is not bad idea.

Malaysia (MYR)
50GB: RM3.90
200GB: RM11.90
2TB: RM39.90

Wow, walk in ready stock is the best…some people here still waiting since preorder last week lol

Were you entitled for the additional 1 year shield warranty extension?
*
This is the not sincere seller. They know you paid and booked the phone, then they let you wait longer and will not entertain you. They know you will not run away ...

Then they rather keep the stock for walk in customer.

This is very bad and unavoidable.


Like car, those paid before SST ... they will ask you wait for 6 months .. then those willing to pay SST, immediate can get car. same formula.

Never pay deposit for pre-order items without an exact date. Sellers will take you for granted. Because your order is confirmed and cancellation is not allowed, they will fulfill new orders first. Not ethical but standard business practices.
So you would be better off walking in or enquiring for stocks later on where they will try to 'fulfill' your order first than those who booked earlier.

I know this well because I myself is in the sales line too. nod.gif

This is called un-ethical.

Haha... business is business. You were pretty right about the car sales scene though. But as sales agents, we have no control over who the distributors want to give the cars to.

So yeah.... Don't shoot the messenger. tongue.gif
*
Yes. Understand. This is unavoidable. But I know there are some good seller that commit and sincere to customer.

Thanks for your opinions. Sorry, no intention to shoot.

Now all seller are not commit any dates. ... "ETA: 7 oct onwards" ... "3weeks onwards" ....

So they will try to sell for walk in, if nobody comes, then only ship out to pre-order.

My Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear Case also very hard to take out. Super tight, but no issue loll, the phone is built to be throw around so i dont think bend will happen

Bend not possible. But scratch may happened.

This one sure luan luan cucuk the charging plug and scratch the edge. Claimed stainless still but still scratched.

Some hard case also might scratch the phone. I experience the hard plastic scratch the Victus Glass at the back of my samsung phone.



BTW, tomorrow is 2nd batch release .. have you all receive any news for delivery on 30th Sep?
