Online Shop claiming to be an Authorized Apple Reseller

Hi there,

While shopping online, I came across a shop called QZ Flash store and they claim to be an Authorized Apple Reseller. The majority of their reviews were good and some had proof that it is verified by Apple. But, I'm having doubts about buying an Apple Airpods Pro since the price seemed too good to be true (almost reduced by 50%).

Does anybody know about this or can verify whether or not the store is an Authorized Apple Reseller?

Go to the Apple website and scroll down to the bottom. Look in the far bottom right corner. It should say "United States". Click "United States" and then select your own country. That will take you to Apple's official web site for your country. Scroll back down to the bottom and look for "More ways to shop: Find a retailer near you." Click on the "Find a retailer near you" link. Then click on the big "Sales" link.

Do NOT purchase from any site or store that is not listed in those results.

Since I was not able to find the place with a Google search, I doubt very seriously that they are an authorized reseller. What country would that be in?

In any case, it is probably a one room operation out of a house. I'd stay away from it.

Right, reviews are very seldom legit, LOL. A lot of companies actually pay people to write reviews. I would not go near them.

update: I messaged the store and they said that they sell "original unopened products purchased directly from the Malaysian Factory"

They said that they are from Malaysia. But, most reviews are from the Philippines since they are actually selling Apple products in LAZADA, an online selling application that is said to check if reviews are legit.
