Apple flagship shop in Shopee?

Does Apple has a flagship shop in Shopee website? It’s selling Apple products much cheaper than Apple Store itself.

well it’s not operated by Apple but it’s owned by Erajaya Swasembada; the same company that owns the stores like ibox and erafone. they are an Apple authorized retailer store, but they have partnerships with Apple I believe.

I can't find any reference that Shopee is an actual authorized Apple reseller. There's lots of suggestive content, but nothing that confirms it.


If you go to what they call their Apple flagship store, you can't miss the huge banner claiming they're an authorized reseller. But, while your cursor tuns into a hand when hovering over that banner - which would suggest it goes somewhere to read up on that claim - it does nothing.


If you try to check every single claimed country location at the bottom of their home page on Apple's reseller location page, not a single one of them mentions Shopee as an authorized reseller.


Their Wikipedia page is not encouraging. Notice the banner warning at the top that makes anything on the page suspect to being true.


Where are they getting all of the Apple product they're selling - all marked as being discounted? Who knows. Given the numerous complaints against this company, it seems everything they sell is used. Amazon does the same thing. They do not have any new iPhones to sell. What few iPhones they have are items they refurbished (what they call Renewed). Not Apple. Below is part of the blurb you'll find on each such item. Highlighting is mine.


This Renewed Premium product is shipped and sold by Amazon and has been certified by Amazon to work and look like new.


I wouldn't buy anything from Shopee. Not even a toothbrush.

I notice there isn't a choice for the U.S.


Personally, I'd be very wary of anything sold there. They're either fakes, or older obsolete models.


I've also just checked some reviews of Shopee. The much greater number of negative reviews should tell you all you need to know about Shopee. People getting items advertised as new that are actually used/damaged/both.
