    iPhone 11 64GB delivered €560 Eglobal central with code WINTERSALE
    you could save extra €10 by going with free postage.
    It's €697.45 on apple's website.
    Have used Eglobal several times, delivery can take 3-4 week but have had deliveries in 7-10 days, its not a deal breaker.

    €10 off with sign up to newletter.
    It's a .com website but doesn't mention where it is located so wonder if there's Duty and Vat to be paid?

    Are they brand new or refurbs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,624 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Can't figure that out but the website does say new.
    The same phone with same specs has some different prices including with €35 for a screen protector. :eek:.
    An Iphone 11, 128GB for €600 is a bargain if new.

    This might be the reason it’s that cheap

    ***The shutter sound of iPhone 11 A2221 version can not be turned off.

    If that’s the model you are looking at

    Bought the very same phone off eglobal for 590 with insured delivery.

    10/10 would recommend. Delivery took less than 2 weeks, this was in October.

    As above poster, the shutter sound can't be turned off, I think Asian countries require this by law. Don't really think this is a deal breaker imo as the phone is legit and brand new and am really happy with the purchase.

    did you get stung for customs though?

    Nope.
    The prices on eglobal include any customs to be paid so eglobal deals with all that.

    The devil's in the detail "Please note that all our products are imported goods and will not come with manufacturer's warranty but instead we will cover the warranty through our own company"

    You could also get caught with vat & customs if it's from outside the EU. Tread carefully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 198 ✭✭Gerlad


    First two posts on this board from a poster above recommending it - tread carefully

    No you don't. They foot the cost of customs.

    Have you ever bought something from them ?

    Grand if you want to pay extortionate prices for the same product in Ireland.
    Their warranty is in line with European norms.

    LMAO

    I wish I was being paid to vouch for them..

    If you can wait 2-3 weeks, it is worth the money saved imo.

    My son bought a set of Samsung earbuds from them and they broke in the first 12 months. Eglobal didn't want to know and Samsung repaired. When they went again after 13 months none of them wanted to know. Expensive lesson learned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭AS1890


    My experience with eglobal

    1. Ordered a Google Nexus 5/6 years ago. No issues or customs.

    2. Ordered a Xiaomi Mi A1 3 years ago. 3 week delivery but no customs.

    3. Ordered a Samsung (A90 or A70 can't remember). Got dispatch notification 3 days later but the "tracking" page seemed very generic and it only updates once a day. After about 4 weeks of "awaiting collection by courier" on this page I requested a refund and never got it off them. Paypal came to the rescue and refunded the order.

    Their pricing is something else to be fair. I've seen Samsung S20 on there for around €500. I wouldn't recommend them after my last experience but use PayPal and you'll be fairly well protected.

    The price on the site is the complete price, nothing hidden, the last couple of purchases from eglobal have come from Hungary so no customs charge.
    Would appear they are somehow getting the packages into the EU/Hungary and then forwarding them on to Ireland, so no taxes.
    A huge big diplomatic bag:) not getting inspected by customs /s

    You do know this is better than all those who brag about picking a iPhone up cheap when on holiday in the states, at least here you get a warranty.
    Have never been charged vat or customs, thats the appeal of this site, huge saving because of this

    Its a bargain , never mind tread carefully, jump in with both feet, the products are all legit, the last two phones i got from them , Samsungs, had the Irish/UK plug in the box!
    What more do you want?
    Save €€€ on purchase and no fear of customs, im not the only one in this thread to confirm this.
    Sure i will post a picture of the brand new iPhone 11 in a few weeks when it arrives

    If the brother hadn’t brought back a 12 Pro Max for me from Dubai I’d be very tempted

    Two new posters to this site seem mad keen to promote eglobal.
    Almost like the aliexpress debacle a few years ago...

    該死的! 我被發現了。 我花了幾個月的時間來研究自己的個人資料,製作一個愛爾蘭人的背景故事,11月初開始發布有關從北方購買可怕煤炭的信息,打算發布有關eglobal的討價還價 並在聖誕節期間獲得了一些銷售,但是不,我會玩很長的遊戲,等到新的一年才能獲得更多的銷售。
    我將不得不在黨的總部懇求並乞求另一次在愛爾蘭作弊的機會,董事會用戶可能贏得了這場戰鬥,但我將再次贏得這場戰爭!

    *Translated, knew my weeks at the local chinese would pay off,definitely not a google translate*
    Damn it! I was discovered. I spent a few months researching my profile, making a background story about the Irish, and starting to publish information about buying terrible coal from the north in early November, intending to publish bargains about eglobal and get some during Christmas Sales, but no, I will play a long game and wait until the new year to get more sales.
    I will have to plead at the party headquarters and beg for another opportunity to cheat in Ireland. The board user may have won this battle, but I will win this war again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 573 ✭✭✭jonnybravo


    I bought a phone off them last year. Didn't turn up. They didn't want to know about it - blamed couriers - couriers blamed them (had to contact couriers myself multiple times). Took two more months to get my money back from bank (overall 4 months long). If I was ordering I'd go paypal / insurance and hope for the best but for me it's not worth the hassle.

    Your completely incorrect, there is no manufacturer warranty from Apple with those phones, what their offering is a 3rd party repair. It is in no way comparable to buying a new product inside of the EU.
    Where are they based China, you need to send the phone to China for repair then.
    Where does it say they cover all vat and customs, it's a case or some people haven't been caught for them that all.

    Apart from the obvious shills in this thread, buying anything on EGlobal is a risk. As suggested purchase via Paypal if you want to take that risk.
    I have used before but would be wary of spending hundreds with them, even via Paypal.

    Over 4,000 views would suggest plenty of interest in this bargain, and once it arrives many will have the confidence to order after the doom and gloom predictions of certain posters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,624 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Over 4,000 views would suggest plenty of interest in this bargain

    With a title of "Iphone 11", always going to have people looking to see if there's a bargain in here or not.

    I emailed the company about shipping origin and charges and got this answer back.
    With regard to your query, we would like to confirm that orders placed on our site, are shipped out from our Hong Kong Warehouse as we are a Hong Kong Based company. The invoice we send is based only on the price of the item, any tax or vat amount will not be indicated on the invoice.

    However, we ship our orders with special logistics arrangement and therefore all you will need to pay is the prices on website, no VAT, import fees nor hidden charges involved for the customer on any order. Any VAT or customs duties incurred will be settled by eGlobaL. The price you see on the website is the final price you pay for the product.

    Hereby, we confirm that we will settle VAT, related taxes and custom charges

    Bought a Microsoft surface pro 7 from eglobal last year at almost €700. A week later was supplied with a tracking number which proved to be bogey. Enquiries with courier in Holland ireland and UK were no help. Emails to eglobal completely ignored. Would NOT recommend eglobal

    You showed us. You should let the fella know who started this thread too that you also received the goods as he said you would.

    I would not recommend eglobal. I bought a Xiaomi phone from them 2 years ago. Phone worked fine for about 6 months then developed a sim reading error. I sent it to their repair company (Slovenia I think) for repair and eglobal accused me of opening the phone myself to fix it (I didn't) and said I had invalidated any warranty.

    I’ve bought an iPad in Nov and came in late December.
    €320 and was well wrapped/new etc
    Delighted with it.

    Paid via PayPal for some security.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 725 ✭✭✭sue97


    I have bought IPAD's from them before and stuff arrived and was brand new. I did pay by Paypal in case anything went wrong.

    Ahhhhhh i'v been found out!

    It came with iOS 14.3 , that was released on 14 December, so phone was fresh from the factory.
    Updated to 14.4 and all is good, delighted with the money saved, this years bargains are off to a good start for me.
