Defo... its not like its a £2 throw away item c cannot believe people would take the risk the savings just don't out weigh the hassle in regards to warranty as this phone WILL have a issue within its warranty period you can gurentee that

So every phone Samsung makes is faulty? Silly argument.
People buy from eGlobal because they're cheaper than anywhere else. And people like me are happy to take the risk, as the vast majority of products they sell won't have any faults.

Quite ironic that you're too scared to buy something from Hong Kong when your username and avatar show support for a pooch that lives there

If you're splashing this much cash on a phone, it's definitely worth paying a little extra to get uk warranty.
It becomes a headache to get support from Samsung if you need any work to be carried out on it

Yeah totally get that - but I would rather save
the money - seller does offer a 12-month warranty. Not many phones these days
require use of a warranty anyway. It’s in the manufacture’s interest to
make them last passed the warranty.
Most people upgrade 12 to 24 months as well

I'll think you'll find that manuafaxxcturers frown upon grey imports.

IF the phone is involved in something which requires returning the handset to Samsung, they will deny providing any service towards the device. Its your choice whether you're willing to accept the risk in not having a UK warranty.
Three warranty provided by the seller isn't worth the time taken to read their terms and conditions.
Best things ous to declare on your home insurance in the event you need to replace the device

Not true. No UK warranty is something important to many.

Bought a Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch from eGlobal a couple of months ago.
Wear it every day. Had no problems with it. Delivery took around a week and a half with no customs fees or import charges to pay.

I don't understand the relevance. Your purchase would only be relevant, if it had broken, and you had to send it back under warranty for repair or a refund. Then your experience would have been relevant to the main issue people have with this seller and sellers based in China, in general. Of course, if you receive the item you ordered, and it works ok, then that's fine, but if the day comes when it fails, that's when you will start to understand why people have a problem with having no warranty in the UK.
