Buying Apple iPhone 14 on Lazada? Is it Safe?

This morning, October 14, 2022, I finally received an email from Lazada Philippines on the official availability of the Apple iPhone 14 Series on their e-commerce website and mobile application.

Apparently, Lazada PH has a dedicated Apple Fans Hub and they guarantee that all the products in this category are 100% Authentic and come with Free Shipping.

If you're wondering if it's safe to purchase any model in the freshly launched Apple iPhone 14 Series from LazadaPH in terms of product authenticity and official after-sales support, my answer to that is "Yes" but you have to pick the right stores in LazMall when placing your order.

In December 2017, Lazada became an authorized distribution partner of Apple products in six South East Asian countries, including the Philippines, via the Apple Authorized Reseller Store in the e-commerce platform. Hence, that's one of the channels that you should consider getting a unit from.

Make sure that the Apple Authorized Reseller Store you're in is official by looking for the LazMall Flagship Store badge as shown in the image above and by checking the number of store followers as well as the high percentage of positive seller ratings.

Here in the Philippines, though, my trusted Apple official retail partner on LazadaPH is Beyond The Box of Digits Trading Corporation. I personally know people from Digits Trading and I guarantee that they are trustworthy.

Beyond The Box is also known for offering huge discounts and premium freebies when you buy Apple products and accessories at their stores - both online and in malls - so you should definitely check them out.

Another authorized Apple reseller that you can trust in LazadaPH is Power Mac Center. To be specific, they have "The Loop by Power Mac Center", which has the official LazMall Flagship Store badge as shown in the image above.

Power Mac Center is one of the first authorized distributors of Apple products in the Philippines and I'm sure they are also doing their best to protect the good reputation that they've built through the years.

To wrap up, ensure your safety when buying Apple products in LazadaPH by choosing authorized Apple reseller stores that have LazMall Flagship Store badge, good follower count, and high positive seller ratings.
