Has any ever heard of Applewatchstores?

This website, applewatchstores.***, is selling Apple watches but I’m not sure if it’s legit. Does anyone else know about it and if I should order from there?

I can tell you from first hand experience with them that it IS A SCAM!!! I learned the hard way. Usually, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. And, in this case, it was too good to be true. I’m trying to let everyone know so that this doesn’t happen to someone else. They need to be blacklisted and shut down.

Same thing happened to me. I did end up getting my money back through PayPal. If that doesn’t work, your bank will refund you the money. I’m trying to tell anyone and everyone that this company is fraudulent so that they will be blacklisted and shut down.

Well folks, consider me a victim as well. After waiting for 2 + weeks, my shipment finally arrived. But, we received two Air Pods Pro, and a set of air pods. We ordered 2 Series 5 watches. Thankfully we ordered through PayPal, and we have a case opened, but still awaiting a resolution. As the others have mentioned, no response from the company at all and the phone number on the label, which is in China, has been disconnected. And there is no phone number here in the states, and they do not respond to email.

I am still hopeful to get my products I ordered, but patience is running thin. If anything changes, I will update my post.


They should be blacklisted, and sued by Apple, if they can find them.

I wanted to post a reply to the original post, since I have received a resolution from PayPal.

After submitting a claim to PayPal, and working through the entire process, I was finally able to get to an upper level supervisor.

I explained what I have gone through, as well as the concerns we have all mentioned mentioned on this page.


After all that, PayPal gave me a complete refund, and I was able to keep the products (Air Pods) that we had received. We did not send any items back, because the postage was over $60.00 to return ship to China. The shipper would not give me a refund for the postage, and they would not accept shipment to the US address, which is a house.

So, I kept the AIRPODS, AND WE RECEIVED A FULL REFUND.


I want to say a big Thank You to PayPal for stepping up to the plate, and rectifying a bad situation.

I have been a PayPal vendor/customer for years, and after this, I will continue to use PayPal.


I hope everyone else has the same result- If you want a tip - be persistent, and work through the Steps from PayPal. It will pay off for you. Do NOT ship your products back. It is not your fault they were not the correct items.

If you have not ordered from this vendor yet - Stop and run the other direction.

Hi Airplusdan. Paypal replied to my dispute and offering me a $13.00 refund out of the $139.99 this scam Applewatchstoress.com website where I ordered an Apple watch series 5 from. I declined their offer. What do I do from there? How can I escalate it to the upper level supervisor of Paypal? It was a hard-earned money. Like you, I also got an Airpods which I do not need.

Again, kindly instruct me on how to have my case go to the upper level of Paypal so I can have a full refund of my hard-earned money. Thank you!

I just asked to have this issue escalated to a manager.

Shipping the items back costs way more that they are worth so you do not want to do that.

Tell them that they PayPal is aware of this company, and they have resolved these complaints with other customers.

Not just me, There are a few.

Trust me, Pay Pal is aware if these people who are imitating Apple.

Just keep pressing on, and be persistent.

That is what I did.


Bets of luck, and I wish you Happy Holidays.

Hi again airplusdan! Thank you so much for your message and advice. Paypal is giving me a FULL REFUND!

My last message to them was I need my dispute be escalated to their General Manager and that I want a full refund because they should have not made the payment through knowing that this Applewatchstoress.com is a bogus seller after so many complaints to them from other Paypal victims.

Again, thank you so much and Happy Holidays!

It is a scam website. I ordered a series 5 and about 3 weeks later received AirPod pros. Haven’t opened them yet but all other reviews are saying they are fake and don’t work. They managed to remove my proof of purchase from PayPal so I can not get my money back from PayPal. Will be contacting the bank tomorrow.
