Would it be ok to use a warehouse adress to ship an iPhone purchased from the apple store?

Hello! So I'm outside the US and there are no apple stores available at my current location. I'm planning to buy an iPhone from the US apple store and I'm not sure if it's ok to use the address of a company that that ships online purchases to my country. They're not exactly PO Boxes, what they offer is an online store from where people can buy Amazon, eBay and Walmart products. But they also allow people to use their warehouse street address for shipping products form other sites.

So I would like to know if it will be possible for me to use their address without trouble.

Thanks in advance!

In order to purchase from the Apple Online Store in the U.S., you'll need a U.S. credit card. So, if you don't have that, the address of the warehouse is irrelevant.

I do not know if Apple maintains a list of such re-shippers or not or if they permit use of them. You'd need to contact Apple directly. Use the Contact Support link at the top right of every page of these forums.

Thank you Idris! I use a Payoneer MasterCard with USD currency for online purchases within the US, never had a problem with it but now that you pointed it out it I will research on that or ask about it too when I contact support ;)

Thanks for the instructions I wasn't sure where exactly to ask that question 🙏

If the card provides you with a US billing address, it should work... if not, you won't be able to use it.

Note that you will not have a warranty outside of the US and my not be able to get paid out of warranty service for it outside of the US either.

Also, there are some countries where it is illegal to ship iPhones and other technology.

Apple will not send an iPhone to a shipping forwarder and they do maintain a list.

Thanks, deggie. I thought that might be the case.
