Yes, but avoid sellers using their own plastic packaging which can shows all people that it contains a mobile devices/accessories.. And also I believe Sho and Laz already censored off the items category or type. so it is quite safe to buy from there. fookie liked this post

QUOTE(fookie @ Aug 8 2025, 11:32 AM) Found a good deal (bout RM500 cheaper than official store) for a mobile phone in Shopee with very good reviews. Sells quite a number of mobile phones in his listings. Seems legit. However, when pry further, seller does not have a physical shop but he's OK to do COD. Seller said the phone is malaysia set and warranty can send to any service centre in malaysia. Has anyone ever bought from such sellers and faced any issues before? Would like to gather some input before buying.  QUOTE(jonmv @ Aug 8 2025, 11:36 AM) Phones on shopee can get much cheaper than official especially during sales time, with shop and shopee vouchers together. I have been buying phones from reputable sellers (thousands sold, above 4.8 reviews) without issue. I agree with with jonmv hereto be honest, it is much more safer to buy from shopee rather than cod with strangers in carousell or any other platform these days. at least you get proper documentation and if shit happened, you can always bring your case to kpdnkk. not to mentioned you can file dispute with shopee within stipulated time --- fookie liked this post

Bought before online several phones.
Its legit ori set and local warranty actually covers the phone. But beware of package get lost or swapped or non ori local sellers. Do your research first. |
