iPad Should I buy iPad pro from Amazon or Apple in the UK?

[vikky2426]

I'm an Amazon prime member and on their website said we'll deliver tomorrow but on apple website delivery dates are 28 Jul - 4 Aug.

Has anyone bought iPad pro from Amazon? Do they arrive the next day?

Is buying from Amazon okay or you guys think I should go with Apple directly? Price for the iPad I'm looking to buy is the same on both websites.

Go with Apple. As price is the same use the source.

For some reason Amazon was offering discounts on the M1 iPad Pro on Friday, which tempted me in for a purchase. I received a 13% discount from the Apple Price. Unfortunately this large discount was only available for a day, and has returned back to 3% discount.

If it’s brand new then unless there’s a price difference I’d go with Apple directly.

Well, if it is the same item, and the same price, and brand new - BUT there is over a months difference in delivery time - then go with Amazon! There is no difference over 1st or 3rd party Sellers and your consumer rights should something go wrong. Not in the UK anyway. Apple dont offer extra perks from buying directly with them. It’s the same wherever you buy something.

There is no point to buy from a third party seller rather than from Apple especially the price difference is less than 10%. Plus you can buy AppleCare along the way.

Yet there is a point in the op, it will arrive tomorrow verses 4 weeks….

I prefer to buy from Apple.com. Packaging on orders from apple.com is also better

If the price is the same, then surely the only thing you’re interested in is whether you can wait or not? If you can wait go with Apple, if you can’t wait to go with Amazon. Personally I’d have no hesitation in buying from Amazon regardless.

Buy it from Apple.

Here's why:

 

[Joniz]

I’ve bought from both many times and I like that Amazon has a 30-day return policy vs Apple’s 14.

Unless that’s changed.

People keep going on about 3rd party resellers, but I’m assuming you’re buying from Amazon direct.

And what a really love is purchasing a device at the start of the Amazon Christmas season and then having until February to decide if I actually want or need it.

 

[cupcakes2000]

Buy it from Apple.

Here's why:

Good call, but this applies to Amazon too. And regarding the example in the video, he insinuated a small reseller - I’m fairly sure Amazon would oblige to consumer rights laws just as easily as Apple appear too.

 

[ericwn]

Buy it from Apple.

Here's why:

I’d appreciate if you share a point in writing rather than have others watch some YouTube videos in search for your intentions.

 

[akash.nu]

When it comes to customer service I won’t hesitate to recommend Amazon right alongside Apple. Especially if the item is bought from them directly.

 

[cupcakes2000]

It’s regarding statutory rights and consumer law. It’s not overly relevent to the conversation as all sellers must oblige.

 

[vikky2426]

Buy it from Apple.

Here's why:

But it doesn't matter where I buy iPad from. my consumer rights will be preserved according to UK law.

 

[Big Bad D]

Buy it from Apple.

Here's why:

Consumer rights apply not only to Apple.

There’s no added risk for op to buy iPad Pro from Amazon if some savings or easier delivery.
Obviously do check that seller is Amazon and not an unknown 3rd party, and that item is being sold as new.

You do with Apple UK too. I questioned this when my wife’s AWS2 went wrong and we took it into Apple. She bought it from JL specifically for the 2 year warranty and I explained this to Apple, to which they said ‘so do we’. Apple also replace beyond that whereas JL don’t. Her watch ended up in the bin and she had to buy a new one because JL said she could claim beyond the warranty but it would be a legal matter. Apple said they’d straight up replace it ‘if’ we’d bought it from them.

Worth noting as I now go to Apple whereas previously I would have gone to JL without question.

You’re not the only one that said that Apple offer two years warranty. But I’ve yet to find anywhere that they confirm this. Can you put me in the right direction please?

Go with Apple directly and get it personalized with engraving. It is free and you can’t get that through Amazon.

 

[Rob__Mac]

If you need it today/tomorrow and can't go to an Apple Store, I'd say Amazon is fine. But for all the other reasons mentioned here, Apple direct is always the safest bet.

And resale just becomes that much more difficult.

What are all the other reasons mentioned? Much of what was pointed out had to do with buying from a 3rd party through Amazon, which is probably not the case. Amazon is just as safe as Apple. It’s not like they first open the box and play with it for a while, you get the device packed and shrink wrapped in the original Apple box.

Amazon's reliable. Warranty holds. You can get AppleCare+ if you want. There's absolutely zero downside to buying from amazon.

What two year warranty are you talking about from Apple? And what do you mean they "replace beyond that"? Genuinely asking. I bought AppleCare+ specifically for 2 year coverage. Should I not have bought it.
