Is it safe to buy an iPhone 6s from uae.souq.com?

I live in india but i'm planning to buy an iPhone 6S from Dubai from the website uae.souq.com. The proper link for the phone is as follow -- http://uae.souq.com/ae-en/apple-iphone-6s-with-facetime-64gb-4g-lte-space-gray-8992273/i/
I just wanna know is this website legit? Is it safe to buy from them? What are their reviews? I have my friend in Dubai who's coming to India soon he'll get it for me but i don't want my money to be wasted.

I just wanna know is this website legit? Is it safe to buy from them? What are their reviews? I have my friend in Dubai who's coming to India soon he'll get it for me but i don't want my money to be wasted. THe website is legit but do beware, it hosts some shady sellers. Look at each particular iphone 6s and click on the seller ratings and see the user comments/complaints. If there's a litany of complaints that he/she is selling fake Chinese knock offs then just avoid. In other words, souq itself doesn't have reviews but each seller does. After all the word souq is Arabic for marketplace and within the market, there are various vendors, some good, some bad!

edit: that seems to be a bad link
Looking at the phone with same specifications from different sellers
This guy seems to have the best ratings

The lowest rating amongst them all is a guy called AmirMughal- a Pakistani. Color me shocked! Don't risk if you can't get a refund, you need to make sure its not fake. The link of iPhone that i mentioned in the question is from the same seller that you are talking about, dod_uae! Well that looks like a good news… Thanks a lot man… Really appreceate it. Souq is legit as a company but as for the sellers its a a can of worms. The company went down hill after it was purchased by Al Jabber group. It used to be much better under the previous owners. They don't ship to India, each Souq website ships only to the country it operates in.(UAE, Saudi, Egypt, Kuwait)

I think it is teh only UAE website that has such weird policies (nothing to do with UAE laws), all others ship internationally. If you want India warranty try Sharaf DG instead they both ship to, and give warranty in India.

  • UAE purchased iPhone, can be used in India? I purchased iPhone 6S almost 1 month back in UAE, Abu Dhabi. I will move to India next month. Can I use my iPhone there in India? Or I have to get it unlocked and all. IIm just worried I purchased just few days back.
  • Order from UAE and Deliver to India? How do I get something ordered from www.souq.com which is a UAE based website and how do I get that delivered to Mumbai, India? I need an iPhone from this website and for the same, I need an address for UAE location who can in turn charge me fees and ship this to India. Are there any customs issues? How to avoid this? I'm aware of ShopandShip.com, however, they have very high registration fees of 45$. Is there any other alternate option?

  • Is it safe to buy cheap iphone cases on ebay? (read description)? I found a case that I want for 40 bucks plus 10 dollar shipping, it is usually 124 dollars from the official site, the ebay user has a lot of feedback and it says he has a 100% positive feedback. Is it safe to buy this product? What are the chances of it being a fake? He has good reviews?
