Handtec warranty on Galaxy Note for US buyers?

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Note from Handtec, but was wondering if anyone knew how warranty service is handled for foreign buyers? I'm in the US and would hate to have to send my phone in and wait for weeks if I were to need warranty service, but I'd hate it much more if I had no warranty at all. Anyone know?

Insure your phone through a 3rd party mobile insurance provider or your homeowners insurance.

Do you have any recommendations for third party warranty or insurance for these types of phones?

I hear a lot of good things about SquareTrade.

Does anyone have info on warranties? What's Samsung's position on a manufacturer's warranty? I appreciate the 3rd party insurer suggestion, but it seems like a warranty would be best for issues such as manufacturing defects. Does Squaretrade or renter's insurance even cover such phone issues? I thought they were only for loss or accident.

I was looking into 3rd Party Insurers and found one (www.toughcell.com) that covers both theft/loss and device defects but the actual site and relatively low pricing made it seem somewhat questionable so I don't know if I should give it a try...

ATT support only in the states?

I put it on my American Express. If anything goes wrong, they'll cover me.

I would've figured credit card protection would only work so long, like 30 days or something. What if the display goes out 6 months down the line? I'm surprised nobody's been able to say what Samsung's warranty policy is on this for foreign countries.

Why do you need 3rd party insurance? The phone comes with 2 years manufacturer warranty.

Manufacturer Warranty isn't valid on Import Phone's [Like the EU/UK Note] in the USA.

cant you just then ship it back? I have family in poland so i can just ship it to them and have them send it in for warranty if that ever proves to be the case

I have had square trade warranty in the past and they are awesome.
However no luck for us now for items purchased outside USA
Here is the mail that I got from them
Thank you for contacting SquareTrade.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to get our coverage as the insurance polices, we offer are only for the items purchased brand new within US and are only for US residents at the current point of time.
We might increase our coverage area in the near future but unfortunately, we are not doing so at the moment.
For customers who live outside the fifty United States, the SquareTrade Care Plan is only available on items purchased from our integrated resellers who allow for International purchases like Crutchfield.
Hope that answers your question! You can also reply to this email or call 1-877-WARRANTY (1-877-927-7268) US & Canada only, 24/7.
Thank you,

Will squaretrade cover an import bought from a retailer within the US? I'm sure they'll start popping up soon.

They will . They covered for my SGSII from expansys

I spoke with Handtec and expressed my concerns over the warranty on the Galaxy Note. They said:
[FONT=&quot]In this case the device will come with 24 months warranty, it will need to come back to Handtec and then we will send this to Samsung on your behalf.[/FONT]
So I'm satisfied and will place my order! Of course this is for Handtec only; other retailers certainly have their own policies.

I got a 24 month insurance policy from ensquared - $99 for $1000 coverage at a $75 deductable. Peace of mind.

Nope, they don't cover this as it won't have a US warranty.
But good to know Handtec will send it to Samsung on your behalf. That's nice. You have to trust them, but the seem reputable.

hey guys what about this
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7000-Unlocked-Cellphone-US-Warranty/dp/B0067HQL30
EDIT: ALSO its on NEWEGG
and there is no warranty info.
it says US warranty (blue)
anyone know what that means?
also i dont know if you guys read but apparently there are some serious screen issues on these devices.

Maybe I'm missing something important here, but wouldn't buying from Newegg make more sense?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176317&Tpk=Galaxy note
Isn't that from their U.S. store or something?

Where to buy?!?!

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

eBay you can find them as low as 590 used but new ones run about 650

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!

Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.

I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.

I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.

Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

Hello! Link please

I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.

what the hell is blue version ?
I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.

There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...

Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

I bought mine off of Amazon using Amazon Prime and it came the next day for only an additional $4. Definitely worth it.

Again, Amazon.. it does not get more "reputable" than that. ordered mine today for ~$620

Got mine off ebay from a top seller so I knew it would be legit.

Got mine too from Amazon...
Guess its almost unanimous...

Thanks for your your input everyone..can you guys comment on 3rd party warranties I can purchase for the Note?

Those who bought from Amazon, can you tell me the name of the reseller and which country the phone came from?
Majority of the Note sold in Amazon is not from Amazon, but from 3rd party seller.

Got mine from here:

Yes, just like the above, it's sold by 3rd party company called MasterDeals. So if I have issue with the phone after 30 days, I'd have to deal with MasterDeals and NOT Amazon.
For example, some seller will tell you EXACTLY which country it came from and how to submit warranty work. Some seller, when I contacted them, like PVCS Popular (a reseller in Amazon), REFUSED to tell me where the phone comes from, so I AVOID buying from them.
That's why I am wondering which 3rd party reselller in Amazon you bought the Note from and if you have any issues.

If you are massively concerned over warranty you should buy the ATT Note instead as the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 is not sold or supported by Samsung in the USA.. it effectively is what the camera firms would call "grey market"..
You may be able to purchase a warranty for some outrageous price, or you can work on the "if it works for a week its likely fine" principle which is accurate for consumer electronics 99.999% of the time... I choose the latter.
The best i can suggest is to purchase one where the supply is 'fulfilled by Amazon".. then it is Amazon on the hook.. but even if there is some warranty trail none of this helps if it takes three months to send off and return your device, along with a $100 shipment charge..

I got mine from an ebay seller in Singapore (roseXXXXX). I bought it for 603 but right now it's 605. I also had an ebay code for 10% off which took off 60 dollars AND I bought it the day ebay had DOUBLE THE EBAY BUCKS night, so I earned 28 dollars in ebay bucks! That's a 88 dollars I saved off of 603 price!
EDIT: i want to add than with the 88 dollars I saved, i bought an 80 dollar Sandisk 64GB class 6 micro SD card (from adorama when it was on sale). And with the remaning 8 bucks, i bought a screen protector and a clear case from ebay. What a great deal for me.

No, Samsung WILL accept warranty work if you ship it to them. I have bought many phone from out of country (Nokia, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson) and when it need warranty work, I ship it to country where I bought it from and include the pre-paid UPS package. I rather pay about $100 in shipping that COMPLETELY lost $600 because the phone no longer works.
As a matter of fact, one of the reseller in Amazon (Global Mobile), told me their phone is from Germany and comes with 2 years Samsung warranty and even offered to ship the Note to them for warranty work and they'll take care of the shipping and communication between Samsung Germany and them. Unfortunately, they're out of stock of the Note, otherwise I'll buy it from them.
In the case of the reseller I mentioned in my previous post, PVCS, they didn't want to tell me where the Note come from. So if I need warranty work, which country I need to send it to? German, Mexico, UK?

BTW, Amazon is NOT on the hook. Amazon is responsible for fulfillment (shipping, credit card charges, etc.) but not warranty work.
If you buy, say a MacBook from Amazon (not 3rd party reseller in Amazon), they'll take care of it for the first 30 days (DOA, missing shipment, etc.), but beyond that, you'll have to go to Apple.

I ordered mine from Expansys. Apparently they've got a European office that'll handle any warranty troubles with Samsung.

Buying T813

Been waiting for the s3 to come out but the price is in my view too steep (£599) so my plan was to get the T813 but it seems impossible to buy it in the UK except via Amazon. However i am reluctant to buy something this expensive from a 3rd party reseller there. Has anyone seen it sold by some more reputable seller?

I got mine Open Box on eBay for $50 less than the going rate at the time, however I saw no signs of it ever having been touched. Original factory seals were in place and it came with a 1 year parts and labor warranty, and a 60 day full refund policy both from the seller. It is now available from them for $319.99. I have had it for about four months and have never been happier with a tablet.
They shipped it immediately (free shipping) and I had it four days from the purchase date. If you are interested shoot me a PM and I will send you the info.

I get that. I feel the same way, so I researched for a couple of weeks, reading feedbacks, comparing with other sales. The warranty and return policy they offer was a big selling point for me and they have a 99.7% positive feedback rating in 263396 feedbacks.

Note 9 N9600 or N960FD etc for UK use

Hi everyone,
I'm due to upgrade my phone and really keen on the note 9 but to buy in the UK it is costly. I'm looking at buying from the EU but there's a variety of model types with subtle differences in bands.
Please would someone be able to advise me whether for example N9600 or N960FD would be fully compatible with the UK networks?
The N9600 appears to be fully compatible with UK bands but I'm new to buying non UK phones.
Plus if they're both compatible, would one be better than the other?
Thanks in advance

Oh, and yeah it works fine haha, I'm on o2, but obviously if it works on there it will work on all. It is also worth mentioning that if you are accepted for paypal credit, you can get it from the link I gave with 4 months %0 interest too

Hey mate, sorry I think I must have chucked the voucher away with the delivery box and other junk

Have a look on www1.techinthebasket.com - I picked up my previous Note 8 SM-N950F/DS for £633 back in October last year. It was a Taiwan model (BRI) but picked up XEU / BTU CSC when I put my O2 SIM in it and it worked flawlessly. They have Note 9's in now for good prices as well. They only accept PayPal so you're covered. I also picked up a Surface Pro 4 from them a couple of years ago and saved over £200. Well worth a try.

Nice suggestion, thanks

Ah, looks like they've only got the Snapdragon version in at the moment - £880 for the SD 512GB/8GB and £629 to £679 dependant on colour for the SD 128GB/6GB is still pretty damn good. Keep checking though, they did have the Exynos versions in for around the same price a few days ago...

Really good prices.
The only thing that's holding me back is to wait for the pixel 3xl. If some of the rumours are true about the Iarge screen, then I might go pixel, but other say it's only 6.1" and has a notch which renders it even smaller when watching film properly.
Thanks for the input so far. Note 9 is in number one spot, just need to compare to the pixel to firm up the choice

The N9600 probably won't work with some UK Cell Providers. You are better off getting the N960FD as that is a GSM device.

Don't think volte or WiFi calling works

After reading the listing it doesn’t state anything about It having a year warranty with them instead they’ll only replace if the device is faulty within the first 30 days.... risky?!! ? .... Just checked again it doesn’t come with any warranty.... ?
Plus if you use the CODE: PERKS on eBay you get a further £50 off... Very tempting stuff

If the pixel 3xl is a bit underwhelming, I'd rather buy a note 9 with a warranty even if it costs more. Having had LG phone issues, I don't want the risk

Oh well haha, has anyone in the world ever actually needed a warranty? I certainly haven't ? It's like insurance, even if you try to claim on it, the odds of them paying out to you are so slim it's hardly worth bothering. It's also another price you pay for getting something significantly cheaper than in your own country, right now they're selling that phone over £200 cheaper than anywhere in this country, if you're so worried, take that 200 and buy insurance, or open a premium bank account for like £11 a month that offers you full mobile phone insurance like my girlfriend has, she can essentially just launch her phone at the wall and they'll pay out for a replacement ?

It's also another price you pay for getting something significantly cheaper than in your own country, right now they're selling that phone over £200 cheaper than anywhere in this country, if you're so worried, take that 200 and buy insurance, or open a premium bank account for like £11 a month that offers you full mobile phone insurance like my girlfriend has, she can essentially just launch her phone at the wall and they'll pay out for a replacement

Believe it or not i had an issue with my S8 plus (Snapdragon 835 variant) a year ago (screen issue) used it for about 8 months, it took about a month to resolve but ended up getting a refund instead lol
I know what your saying, looks like I'll just go with WondaMobile instead of eBay, that way my mind will be at ease
Btw hows your battery life on your model? I'm still undecided whether to go with the SD 845 or Exynos 9810.. I had the S9 plus with the 9810 and the battery life wasn't great (3.5hr SOT) with 15-16hrs usage consistently, ended up selling it to my bro ?
