iPhone 12 (64gb, All Colours) - $989+tax+Shipping

Deal Link:: https://pdaplaza.ca/products/apple-ipho ... y-unlocked
Price:: $989+
Retailer:: PDAPlaza

PDAPlaza has a deal going on for the new iPhone 12 64gb in all colours for $999 + tax + shipping (varies depending on where you're shipping to). However, you can use promo code WELCOME to get an extra $10 off.

In my case, I reside in Toronto and shipping was $24 through Canada Post Xpresspost. The other option is through Purolator which would have been between $32-52 depending on which province you're shipping to.

NOTE: Delivery time can be excrutiatingly long. I've purchased from PDAPlaza a couple times in the past and, as stated on their website, it could take between 15-25 business days for them to SHIP the device.

Edit:

Past thread with many RFDrs facing delays and having their money stuck with this disreputable company, having to file paypal disputes. Very sketchy. Buyer beware.

Uhh is this a trustable site? Seems odd they are discounting a newly released iphone. Wondering if they're gonna bait and switch with some sort of older model.

I believe they are legit. I saw previous threads a while back about them and the comments seemed favourable.

I've never used them myself though.

I was fairly skeptical at first as well and only decided to take a gamble after seeing the OP from this post successfully get his device.

Bought 2 devices in the past year and haven't had any issues with the devices. The shipping time was just longer than I would have liked.

STAY FAR FAR AWAY.......Not worth any savings, You will wait and wait till you can't wait anymore. Then you will request an order cancellation and then you wait and wait for your refund. You will get two people responding to you ALEX and GUSTAVO, I believe they are the same person. The final straw was they even sent me a tracking number but the package was never dropped off at CP. Then they said CP lost my order.. STAY FAR FAR AWAY, Pay the difference and buy from someone local. I also believe they are in china, Whenever I received a response to my emails, It was late at night..

STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!!!!!!

First of all, the name doesn't sound right. It is 2020 now, why they are still using 'PDA'? Is that why they are SLOW when shipping, responding and refunding? lol

They are legit

But you might not get the device until many months later, by then the 100$ or so savings won’t be worth it as the next generation product will be out! Haha

I would only purchase from them if you are fine with getting your device ~3 months from the time your order is placed

Some people have not received their devices for almost 5-6 months

Just be careful. I voted “bad service” because that’s the truth. Their service is bad, despite the minor savings in price

Yet under their FAQ:

WILL YOUR PHONES SUPPORT 5G IN CANADA?

No, our phones will not support any 5G Canadian carrier. No international/Global phones support 5G in Canada. Only Canadian phones support 5G.

Our phones only support 3G, 4G/LTE for most major Canadian carriers. Please see the description for the supported carriers and network.

This might be something important. I have no idea how Apple makes their phones, and how different phone in different countries work, but if their FAQ is accurate, your 5G iPhone 12 won’t be able to take advantage of 5G technology in Canada. It might explain the discount.

Why can't we all just get along?

Yes, in that case, for all you know, you’re getting a returned phone — and possibly warranty issues. Lots to keep in mind.

Buying a 12 right in Canada with the intention of using it long term, is a bad idea IMO. Its a beast phone and a great value, but I think its really stupid that we aren't getting MMWave hardware on our phones in Canada.

Sure, we don’t have MMWave tech here yet, but if you intend to keep it for 3+ years, you are probably gonna wish you waited one more gen for what may be the widespread rollout of the hardware.

Mind you, I will probably still buy one, but only for short term use.

They are brand new, with fresh warranties, nothing is re-sealed. I suspect they get them right from the suppliers

It’s just you get them for a small discount and then a few months later the next model is out. Plus, you need to double check the model number you are buying - sometimes you don’t get the Canadian model. For iPhones not an issue as apple stores honour warranties around the world. But otherwise its a headache and not worth the time. Overall - Not worth the hassle
