iPhone XS Max
The LL/A designates that the phone was originally sold in the United States market. To get hardware service for it you would have to take it to the US. It may also be a carrier locked iPhone or Activation Locked. Does the shop have a good return policy?
I wouldn't buy it. Lithium batteries do not like to sit around uncharged. You say it was still in the box, that means it's been sitting in a box for three or four years without occasional charging. The battery is most likely not in very good condition. Also, there will be no Apple warranty on it. If the shop provides their own warranty, I would look very closely at it.

Walk away. Buy a phone from an authorized retailer in your country. That is a device that was originally intended for the US market. It will have no warranty at all now as the warranty is long expired.
It’s also likely the battery will be seriously degraded if it has actually been sealed in the original package since it was new.
They are lying about the refurbished part according to Mr. Finch. And as it says AS IS, I still would take a pass. And none of the independent IEM checkers are worth anything.
That is not a “new” phone.
The iPhone XS Max was discontinued 3 years ago.
it was stock, and it is not subscribed or opened yet, I searched the serial no. and it says plz activate your phone, it is not activated yet
what im concerned about is the model name which is 5T5G2, DONT START WITH M, N, OR F.
IS IT NORMAL??
No it is not. That is a US market iPhone, are you buying it from a US Apple Authorized Reseller?

It may be a store demo model which if it is you will not be able to set it up. Can you post what you saw in the check coverage result?
what is the meaning of US Market iphone plz?what is the difference?
That is a refurbished phone that was not refurbished by Apple.
