Sorry yes, I meant Saturday was, so posted Friday, Saturday is day one, Monday is day two, when it arrived. So wasn’t really pushing my luck. That’s my point. And even if it was 2-3 as MM state, that’s still Tuesday which is when the 14 days was up.
They can be, but they can also be very good or very bad depending on salesperson/branch. Some people have had really poor experience and derisory offers whilst others have done really well.
Main risk is in getting repairs. iPhones are only repairable/swappable/returnable in the country they're bought, although an exception is made for EU and some other (e.g. Switzerland) countries, which are grouped together as one.
An Apple store may make an exception but they don't have to. I'd love to buy a dual-SIM version from Hong Kong but am not willing to take the risk. It's an even higher risk than yours as the HK phone obviously has different parts.
Europe 11 Pro model : A2215
US/Canada : A2160
Thanks for your reply.
Other than repairs and warranty risks are there any other factors to think about? 4g etc will still work using a UK sim?
Handtec have shafted me. Offered £616 for an XS Max in absolute mint condition, screen protector and case used since new and they dropped me down to £560 stating chip on casing and battery needing replaced in order to recycle it. I assured them there were no chips and the battery was 99% when shipped. I basically said was it a brand new handset they were expectimg??!! Asked for photos of the so called chip and they didn’t send them and upped the offer to £580. What did I do?!
I know Americans who happily visit Europe with their phones and have no issues, but this article says otherwise:
Beware: There Are 3 Different Versions of iPhone 11
The new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max come in three different models each, designed for different countries. It's important to get the right one for you.
I got £710 for my XS Max 265GB from Carphone Warehouse. I'd be be tough with them and ask them to return the phone in the condition you sent it. Tell them you photographed it with the date on a newspaper and it did not have any chip on it. Tell them you'll report the issue if they do not do this. Hope this helps. Good luck.
If I’ve initiated a return on line with UPS can I just return my item in store instead? Phone was bought in store.
Sweet, watch has shipped and due Monday 30th! Was expected between the 4th-11th Oct
Yeah iPhone I bought yesterday, found it difficult going back to the smaller one.
I don‘t think they are when it comes to guaranteed delivery days.
Also, what do MM class as working days?
No idea mate. I’ve declined it anyway - will just sell it online and never do business with them again. Not the first time they’ve stitched me up, so should have learnt after the first time really.
You really should get your facts straight before trying to make yourself look like a Moderator. This is the first year I have not upgraded (and won't be either), but hey, whatever you say......😂
....damn - you REALLY can't take criticism can you.
😂
That's not correct. I have an iPhone X purchased in America which was warranty replaced in the UK. 4G works on all networks and no questions or caveats when taking it to the Apple store.
True, my European iPhone X broke while I was in the USA and the local Apple Store replaced it no questions asked. Didn't even have the receipt.
Not sure if anyone is interested, Amazon have some discounts on the Apple Leather and Silicone case in a couple of colours.

Just had a quick look at the MM website, their working days are listed as Monday to Friday.
For example:
Saying I can’t take criticism after trying to justify his decisions wether to upgrade or not, love it 😂You really should get your facts straight before trying to make yourself look like a Moderator. This is the first year I have not upgraded (and won't be either), but hey, whatever you say......😂

But in this instance it’s irrelevant as they were received Monday, if they were delivered Saturday and that was the 14th day then I would agree
...face the facts:
In future - don't try and play the system - you had 14 days to send it in - its no ones fault but yours if you didn't send it in in time......
But I did send it in time, and it was DELIVERED in time - it arrived Monday, thus the weekend is irrelevant - do you actually read the posts?
And play the system 😂 you mean by locking a price and sending it towards the end of the 14 day period, like 90% of people do just before the keynote? Showing yourself up here
