    Hi guys. Considering buying an iPhone 6 and found a seller online with good feedback selling brand new iPhone 6 sealed in box but they come from Poland (does that matter?)

    I stand to save a good chunk of money as oppose to buying from a network provider and the sellers feedback is good so iam tempted but is there any risks i should be aware of??

    Anyone ever buy an iPhone from another country before?

    Is it unlocked ? I'd be wary.

    Check that it'll work on networks here. I'm sure it will but just to be sure.


    Also no I've never bought one from Poland or online other than apple. The extra €50-€100 saving is not worth the stress and anxiety.

    That's the thing. I stand to save 200 quid so iam tempted. Iam a bit skeptical however although they have good feedback.

    And yes it's brand new, unlocked and in a sealed box.

    You need to ask yourself why is a seller selling a sealed iPhone 6 for 200 less then retail?
    This, there's no way this is legit.

    Wouldn't such a phone be locked?

    Could be, could be also scamming you. Normally here meeting in person would alleviate most worries i'd have. the fact the seller is in another country means this is impractical. Again trying to save a few bucks for the sake of it it's not worth it imo.

    The seller isn't in another country guys. They live locally and have said i can collect the phone from they're house. Iam just skeptical as to how they are selling them so cheap yet still making profit.

    They are ordering the phones from Poland is all i know with regards to where the phones are coming from.

    They also have good feedback in relation to being a genuine seller... However.... The feedback relates to other items they sold and not any iPhones.
