Hi, everyone, i never buy things via website in different countries. Last sunday, i wanna buy an Ipad, it is really convenience i think. So i search the ebay and found it is more expensive than pirce in my country. Also the shipping cost become a problem. Finally I found offical Apple website in Unite Status, it is free shipping. But I'm confused it is realible? Is it security( i don't wanna my Ipad change to fake item)? I need to pay some extra cost online?

Apple is well known for its good customer support. If it's the official website then you can be assured that the product is authentic. But of course it comes with a price. This actually reminds me of a friend who bought an apple product on ebay. The product is still within its warranty but since it's already used, my friend was able to buy it at a lesser price, after a few weeks of using the product it's earphone jack got defective so my friend brought it to the nearest apple store, he handed the unit told the sales persons about the defect and showed the receipt provided by the original owner. After checking the product the store replace the unit with a brand new one without so many questions asked.Now that's what I call customer support.

Hi, you are also a Chinese. I don't know, i never buy things via different countries. Because there are long distance from America to China. Also i wonder if i need to pay through custom. I just worried about that. Thank you for your response. Have a nice day!
