    Shops like fonefix, ItGuy those kinda names. Are they trustworthy to buy from? Even if they offer receipt and warranty and say main manufacturer warranty? Some of theor prices are far cheaper than you can buy online which sets off alarm bells

    its almost impossible to beat online prices, with aliexpress bangood etc, are you looking at genuine brands or Chinese ones like xiaomi etc.


    as id imagine if it broke etc there would be headache getting replacement or fixed.


    personally would stick with ebay, amazon if you dont like it or smth goes wrong easier to get it sorted. As saving few euro isnt worth these days.
