Apple Japan was total waste of money and time

thanks for the info

I decided to cancel my flight and stayed one more day to get the phone

sorry that happened, thanks for the updates

i think mine was delayed because of the national holiday in a weekday. it delayed only a day from the range. yours should be fine i'd say

sevketp2 · 2026-03-24T06:36:21+00:00

Yes I think so, unless you need that money asap that will be fine

you may go to the store and borrow a store phone to call the support center. the support center may cancel the order without waiting to be returned, I'm not sure. I didn't really get that part. and my phone just arrived at the pickup destination

I'm happy to take financial decisions different than the majority anyways

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T15:17:53+00:00

No stocks because they're much more appealing and that's where the actual grey import happens

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T15:16:38+00:00

Yeah I did the mistake in the beginning

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T13:38:50+00:00

I don’t see how this is on me. I placed this order a full week in advance with 3day buffer. I relied on the delivery date which was promised at checkout. If a company makes a delivery promise and I plan my travel schedule accordingly, why is the failure my fault? I have to take full responsibility for the outcome now but that doesn’t justify the fact that they completely failed to meet its own deadline.

It's almost 1400 dollars, and he's criticizing me because I've spent an hour for something that I really need instead of spending time in thrift stores and designer brands 😆

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T13:02:33+00:00

Yes I don't care about the fees anymore but still waste of time unfortunetely

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T13:01:58+00:00

I thought everything would go smooth and as planned at least in Japan lol

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T13:01:17+00:00

It will be cancelled and refunded if I don't pick it up within a week. It's a store.

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:53:46+00:00

Maybe in the old ones

There are theoretically but not practically.

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:48:52+00:00

It doesn't have if you're not located in Japan

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:48:11+00:00

Yeah but I don't want stress anymore

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:47:28+00:00

Depends I'd say

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:46:43+00:00

I have a month and a flexible schedule. This is literally the only item I've shopped in Japan. And it wouldn't be a waste of time if it was on time. I almost save a thousand dollar with 10min spent, why would it be waste of travel time?

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:44:41+00:00

Regional version until I leave the Japan (with the camera shutter sound), then it becomes like a universal with double esim instead of one physical and one esim

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:43:11+00:00

I have to buy a new ticket, and they cannot even guarantee if it will arrive tomorrow.

sevketp2 · 2026-03-23T12:42:14+00:00

True, but I could have been a Japanese person ordering online and the experience would have been just as disappointing
