Is Amazon trustable to buy phones in Pakistan in terms of warranty claims and others?
Amazon is one of the world’s largest and most reputable websites, with a diverse range of products from around the world which is now also available in Pakistan. Many people doubt if buying things from Amazon is safe for Pakistani residents because Amazon does not provide direct delivery to many of the products in Pakistan.
There are only 4% of products of Amazon that you can get at your doorstep in Pakistan. This is a cause of concern for people when they are placing an order from Amazon which is costly. However, Amazon is entirely secure, and while all cross-border transactions are subject to customs and duty in order to arrive in the country before the transaction’s beneficiary, the products are safely delivered to the customer. Amazon contains all of the things that Pakistani customers aspire to purchase.
Purchasing phones from Amazon
You can order mobiles phones from Amazon in simple easy steps like you place an order on any other online website. Amazon has a huge variety of phones available with discounts. You can shop from brands like Samsung, Oneplus, and other international brands on Amazon.
Warranty
There is a difference between providing a one-year guarantee and providing a DOA (dead on arrival) warranty. Any item sold on Amazon is covered by Amazon Policy, which gives you 14 days to claim a failure in electronic devices and 30 days to return the item if something is wrong when it arrives.
The policy is applicable to any item and is offered by Amazon and every 3rd Party Seller. There are other options available to you as a buyer; you can find online providers who will provide you with a one-year warranty for any phone available on Amazon, but in order to keep prices competitive, everyone is offering phones without warranties.
However, if you need the peace of mind that a warranty provides, you can easily get the same phone from any major Network Provider, and you can save money.
Custom duties
Your products will be forwarded to Pakistan Customs for a re-check on custom taxes and taxable commodity branding as soon as they arrive. Customs clearance will be required for your purchases. A Customs Officer will call you after an initial inquiry to complete the filing procedure.
Pricing
Pricing can vary time by time. It is recommended to concert the dollars in PKR currency to make sure you have the right amount available to pay off later. The shipping charges of Amazon products in Pakistan are around Rs. 1600 and it can be more if the product you are buying is heavy. It should come as no surprise that shopping internationally sometimes comes with a hidden cost. While you may have been tempted to an overseas version of Amazon in the hopes of finding a good price, shipping charges may prevent you from saving at all. So don’t only look at the item’s pricing. Look for
- Amazon currency conversion rates
- Costs of shipping (displayed in a smaller font just below the item price)
- Import duties and taxes
Other alternatives of Amazon in Pakistan
If you are still not sure about making your phone purchase from Amazon in Pakistan then there are a number of best online mobile selling platforms in Pakistan. You can not make your purchase from these websites and not only you will get a bigger variety of mobile options from here but you will also save money and receive your product early.
Some other platforms also includes:
- Newegg.com
- eBay.com
- Bhphotovideo.com
- DX.com
Although Amazon is a safe and trustable platform to shop from in Pakistan and you can also claim for warranty when it comes to mobile phones or any electronic product but it is a time taking procedure and can be costly. In short buying mobile phone or any other product from Amazon will cost you a hefty sum of money.
