    Warehouse deals are unwanted items returned back to Amazon. They grade each item like used:good to used:like new. Like new could be just a damaged box it comes in. At the min there is 30% warehouse prices on Amazon. So it’s a good enough deal if you don’t mind shopping on the warehouse. I’ve done it before and no issues. Items look new to be honest. But everyone is different .

    They were probably still in someone else’s ears!

    Like-new is usually brand new with damaged packaging

    compuB - €158 -
    Link: https://www.compub.com/music/airpods/apple-airpods-with-charging-case

    Any pros/cons on the above? CompuB offer 2 year warranty, although is there a chance they go out of business (read an article they were given an emergency fund to keep them in business)? Is there any warranty with Amazon or Littlewoods? I'm guessing not.

    I think the 2 year warranty is a good selling point.
    I have my air pods 17 months but only a 1 year warranty and the right air pod battery is draining much quicker than the left. I bought AirPod pros for my son for Christmas but went with Compub because of the extra warranty.

    ain't there a default 2 year warranty?

    Personally I'm waiting to see if Black Friday or Cyber Monday sees them down to €99/€100 mark.
    I was reading that there's a new model coming out next year, so perhaps there's a chance. We'll see. (Not the pros btw)

    Think it's 2 year warranty if you buy direct from Apple (could be wrong)

    Does the Apple Store ever have BF discounts? I need engraving on some Airpod Pros, so stuck with buying there.

    On their website it says "Buy an eligible product from 27 to 30 November and get an Apple Store Gift Card to use with your next purchase.". I personally hope they actually have discounts rather the above.

    I spoke to a local audio visual shop yesterday and asked them if they'd have any black friday deals on some apple products and they said it was unlikely as supposedly their(apple) stock is low for this time of the year.

    Apple BF Event

    devil is in the detail :
    * Offer valid on qualifying purchases of eligible Apple products from 27 November 2020 to 30 November 2020 at the Apple Online Store, on the Apple Store app, and by calling 1800 92 38 98. Qualifying Purchases can receive a discount equal to the value of the eligible Apple Store Gift Card off the price of the eligible product. All items will be charged at checkout, including the eligible Apple Store Gift Card. This offer cannot be combined with the Corporate Employee Purchase Programme, education or business loyalty pricing.

    so it seems you can choose a discount rather than a gift card, which i'd never seen before

    If it's an Apple Store Gift Card, it can only be used either in store, the online store, or ordering over the phone.
