    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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！

    Curse you round eye, i shall return to swindle all your money with fake bargains

    *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!

    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.
