Hi all I hope you are well.

Coming from Melbourne is a Brand New and Genuine Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-9200, it works on Band 28 and All 3G/4G towers for Telstra/Optus etc

It actually comes in the Original box and in the same way you would get it from Harvey Norman/JB HI FI, it will be sent to you by Auspost Express Post.
The price is only $279.99.

All the other ones you will see on eBay will say things like "near new condition" or "new like" or come in a Generic Box! Not having the original box should give anyone their doubts about it being new and even being Genuine yet alone new.

So this is what I have here, the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S6, 32gb, sent from Melbourne to you by express post (should arrive the next day) for $279.99

Also check out the Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-930F in the same condition, it's the GLOBAL model, you can use it on all bands almost anywhere, that includes band 28 in Australia and ALL LTE Bands on Optus, Telstra, Vodaphone for only 379.99

    So I assume it is grey market. That is not from Samsung Australia.

    • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 08/06/2018 - 14:45

      This one is yes sir, the ONLY "Australian" model s6 is the SM-920i

  • MrZ on 08/06/2018 - 14:47

    Amazing price for a new S6! What kind of warranty does it come with? I bought a refurb S6 earlier in the year for $215. Paid for 32GB but they sent me 64GB! I'm loving this phone.

    • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 08/06/2018 - 14:58

      thank you MrZ, WOW! They sent you a 64GB one! WIN WIN!!
      Although the law might say you need to inform them on it I won't tell them if you wont ;)

    • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 08/06/2018 - 14:57

      Certainly am, and have, almost everyone would have them by now (22 people), I have asked BIO to elaborate.
      I do test the phones before sending them out but other than that they are un-used, un scratched, in the original boxes and everything.

      Yes it comes in Printed paper but that's only because I had issues with posties stealing them when using a light to look into clear/brown paper wrapping. So yea I'm happy to work it out with BIO, for all I know it was dropped a few too many times by the posties but otherwise its a 100% solid phone, brand new in everything

      • PotPlant on 08/06/2018 - 15:56

        Just out of curiosity, why do you need to test these phones at all, if they are 100% genuine and brand spanking new from the factory? I mean, if I buy a new Samsung phone from Harvey Norman, it won't have been opened and tested. The same goes for a toaster from K-Mart, or a coffee machine from Domayne. Please explain. Its like you don't trust your own product and/or your supplier! Hopefully this is NOT the reason. :)

          I was always taught, from when I was a kid that "its a fool who does not test and see with his own eyes where possible"
          Call paranoid I guess but I have heard some horror storys from Merchants, delivery contractors replacing them with fake phones, or just being careless with boxes, magnets destroying the batterys or heat etc etc.

          When its your lively hood, your business, your baby I bet you would test it too wouldn't you?

          @phillipdi: I would actually prefer a completely factory sealed box, but that's just me. Pretty sure Samsung would run rigorous tests at the factory after it is assembled but before it is packed and shipped anyway. All the best with your baby. :)

          @nortyjak: That is why I have hired someone who I have trained on this personally to go over all the phones that come to me before they are sealed. The next batch will be fully sealed in that rapping.

          Its funny though how such a small thing holds such a sentimental value to people I mean, people give allot of credit to a fairly cheap vacuum machine and even cheaper shrink rap

          @phillipdi: in that case please let your customers know that you will be opening the items they are purchasing. Otherwise your definition of "sealed" is changing our view of what a sealed box really means. I would return the item if I found it to be open as it is totally the opposite to the item description. You should keep in mind that many people might buy it from you as a gift to others, in that case think what are you doing to your customers. If you are really determined to make your customers happy then please don't make them surprised.

        Your protections:
        You have the same protections you’re used to with eBay on PhillipDi.com, because we use PayPal as a trusted payment method which has Paypal buyer protection. PhillipDi.com also has a 2-year warranty on all of our products

      And need I remind you, your paying by paypal with their buyer security.

        You are scamming. You claim for the product to be the same as purchasing from a Harvey or JB and by making such a big post to point it out compared to other sellers yet the only difference is still come in shrink wrap that you have performed yourself because you ofc had to quality check because you seems to not think Samsung standards are up to scratch for your baby when in reality it's you lying to customer on this purchase when what your selling could very well be old company phones that have been refurbished with new glass, still keeping the old mobo and battery just looking new and genuine factory sealed to help sell your scam of selling a new geniune factory sealed phone. Based on these practices I'm reporting this to fair trade and taking on the case

        • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 08/06/2018 - 23:35

          Right so first, they are NEW phones, in the new boxes.

          I test the phones because I want to make sure there's no issues, if you think samsung/apple/amazon (from even from apple or samsung) don't test them your wrong and there's no point discussing it with you because you have no idea what it is to run a phone business. For all I know they got damaged in transit (because as we all know, posties are not the most gentle of creatures), if you have a problem with people testing products before they get sent out I imagine you will have a hard time not using anything ever made by man.

          And your basing this from what exactly? People who haven't even PM'ed me their order numbers?

          Go, "report" this to fair trade and tell them 1. You have no evidence, 2. You have no clue and 3. You have no experience and 4. "he's testing his products so he must be scamming".

          @phillipdi:

          I test the phones

          If you (or your employees) have opened them and tested them then it can't be considered brand new. It can be compared to food and other products like medicines where the 'seal' means everything. If it has been tampered in some way then its value would drop massively if not entirely.

          Apple/Samsung do quality checks as part of the manufacturing process before sealing them and that's fine. What you do is not considered normal practice. I definitely would not expect nor want a retailer to open my products and 'test' them no matter what they claim.

    Ok so tell me if I am getting this right (sorry this may be a bit lengthy and is only my interpretation & opinion).
    All quotes are from phillipdi, you can see the original post by scrolling up in this thread.

    All your phones are advertised as "Brand New" but come to you unsealed. You then get someone who you have personally trained to inspect the phone to make sure it is indeed "Brand New" and "Genuine". This person then puts it back into it's "Original" Box.

    For your next batch you will do the above procedure but with the addition of sealing it yourself (as in your company seals it).

    @nortyjak: That is why I have hired someone who I have trained on this personally to go over all the phones that come to me before they are sealed. The next batch will be fully sealed in that rapping.
    Its funny though how such a small thing holds such a sentimental value to people I mean, people give allot of credit to a fairly cheap vacuum machine and even cheaper shrink rap

    I understand that you are concerned about the phones that have been supplied to you but here are a few honest questions. Aren't brand new phones shipped sealed from the manufacturer? If you are getting phones that are already without a seal I can understand 100% why you would want to inspect them but this makes me and probably a lot of people wary of your actual source of these phones. From my limited knowledge about manufacturers shipping out mobile phones from companies such as Samsung and Apple, unless it's a refurb or a factory second then it should come factory sealed (some phones just have sticker seals and not the whole shrink-wrap but still some form of seal).

    If manufacturers ship phones out unsealed wouldn't this be a cause for alarm as anywhere down the chain they can be tampered with? Yes I agree that if they only ship sealed phones they could be re-sealed down the line but generally the higher up the chain the less chance of this happening. So which is it? Are you receiving sealed or unsealed phones from your supplier?
    Are you doing this thorough checking because you don't trust your supplier?

    @ashik: Hi mate, I'm sorry about that, thanks for picking that up, so the warranty in the listing is what the warranty will be, that should have JUST stated our policy and not a time frame because each product is different.

    Thanks for picking it up I have fixed it up now. That link should just refer to what the warranty itself is and not a specific time frame

    So you have now changed your Warranty terms after someone has pointed out an issue with your website warranty listing? If so will you still provide the previous warranty terms to customers who purchased a phone or item (Brand New) from you before the warranty terms were changed?
    Also what is the requirement in your situation to provide ACL for goods sold in Australia?

    I know for a fact that JB HI FI HAVE a shrink wrapping machine for this EXACT purpose.
    I get where your coming from, I really do, but were arguing about 0.01cm of plastic wrapping here.

    JB Hi Fi certainly does have a shrink-wrapping machine but it's sole purpose is not to reseal second hand items to sell as new. This I believe would be against the law here.

    Its real simple, I will go to as deep as I want to ensure that the product I ship out is 100% going to work when they get it…. The Next batch of phones will have that 0.01cm thick plastic wrapping that seems to make a big difference for you.

    So I respect that you want to make sure every product is 100% but in doing so you are effectively "using" every phone before you send it out correct? To add to that you will then shrink-wrap 0.01cm thick "plastic wrapping" on your goods (that you have tested beforehand) for customer satisfaction?

    Right so first, they are NEW phones, in the new boxes.

    I test the phones because I want to make sure there's no issues, if you think samsung/apple/amazon (from even from apple or samsung) don't test them your wrong and there's no point discussing it with you because you have no idea what it is to run a phone business. For all I know they got damaged in transit (because as we all know, posties are not the most gentle of creatures), if you have a problem with people testing products before they get sent out I imagine you will have a hard time not using anything ever made by man.

    I 100% agree that Samsung and Apple do some form of testing of their phones during the manufacture and packaging of the product but this begs the question why you have to too? Do your goods not come direct from Samsung or Apple or at least one of their trusted wholesale partners? Is this why you aren't confident in your sources so you need to check and test again?

    You say you test because they could have got damaged in transit, but they have to then be transported, often many more times on the way to the customer.
    I myself don't have a problem with companies testing products before they get sent out, but that has already been done at manufacturing.

    @IceCreamBandit: "no matter what they claim"??
    AMAZON TEST THEIR PRODUCTS.
    KOGAN TEST THEIR PRODUCTS.
    Almost all eBay sellers test their products.
    I turn the phone on, I put a sim in, if it works and I get bars and sound with the phone call then its good to go.
    I don't take it out for the weekend and show my friends my new phone.

    Again I partly agree with you, I'm sure Amazon and other large companies have a department who test a SAMPLE of new products or even a SAMPLE of a new batch of products for various reasons including quality assurance. But there is no way that Amazon sit there and test each and every item that passes through their store, repack and then send on to the customer. This would not be viable for time reasons. Same goes for Kogan and ebay sellers. Amazon ship out millions of products each day. I understand that you are a much smaller company and can afford to test each and every product that you send out to people. I think it is more the way you have worded things because once you test, touch, boot, insert your sim the product in many peoples eyes is no longer "Brand New". Shrink-wrap after the fact makes no difference at all as this would be a reseal of second hand goods.

    Seriously, this is supposed to be a PRO, I actually take the time to personally oversee my workers have done their job right, I mean you see an owner who personally ensures you get a good product and what? Its somehow a negative…

    The only negative here is your wording and personal definition of a "Brand New" product. No one is upset with your extra effort to ensure your items are 100% perfect for customers, that's a huge plus. The negative is you thinking that this still equals a "Brand New" device and I don't think anyone here is going to change your mind on that unfortunately.

      So as I believe I have said a number of times I get some of my phones from Telco's (these phones for example) and not form the manufacturer, in the case of the iPhone 6 it stopped being made around 4 years ago so apple/foxcon won't have them sitting around any more.

      See here https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8/8326…
      Some people talking about the BRAND NEW phone they got from Verizon.

      Now, when you say that by testing the phone I am "using it" you can make the EXACT same case for when Samsung or apple "use" the phone when they test it, I don't see why you or the community think its such a huge thing for a merchant checking his stock before sending it out to a customer. Apple do it, Samsung do it, and they do it on every phone that goes out, but when it's me, there's somehow a problem and its somehow "not new" but when they do it, its "new".

      So I get you, if you want to say that by me turning the phone on before it goes out it becomes a "used" phone, but you need to also explain why that when apple and samsung do the EXACT same thing its not a "used" phone.

      Thank you

    Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my previous comments but this is what I mean by 'sealing'. Not the shrink wrap, but this. It literally says not to accept the package if it was opened.

    To do your 'tests', surely that seal in the image has to be broken. Now why would anyone expecting a new phone be okay with having that seal tampered with?

    Like I say, just like food and other products that have a seal that shows whether it has been tampered with, why would anyone expect a brand new product to have that cut? Do you accept medicines that have been opened or 'tested' for you?

    • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 09/06/2018 - 12:39

      Your comparing phones to medicines…
      Sure please do.
      Take no comfort in the fact the phones get tested before they are sent out. By all means…
      My next batch will not be tested by me on arrival in Australia and you can keep you precious shrink wrap.

        Not talking about shrink wrap and you know it.

        Phones are very important devices these days in terms of the information that they can collect and transmit about its users. I (along with other users here) believe that we don't need a disrespectful know-it-all who claims their processes to open manufacturer's seals are necessary. Manufacturers test these products prior to sealing.

        So yes in this case I am comparing a phone to medicine, because I would never want either of those things to be tampered with.

        • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 09/06/2018 - 13:38

          @phillipdi: I think you're missing the point. It's not about the shrink wrap, it's about what it represents which is an unused and untouched product straight from the manufacturer that would have done their own quality testing before shipping them out. As evidenced from the related iPhone 6 thread, there's no way they came straight from Apple and even considering your own testing, it's an indictment on you that cables have been missing or screens fail after an hour.

          You opening the boxes of phones to ensure that you can ship them out in 100% working condition is redundant. There's no need for it, unless it didn't come straight from the manufacturer, which is why I think some people here are a bit hesitant toward your products, not to mention your poor quality customer interfacing skills.

          If you want to do business well, pro tip from a guy who used to buy and resell phones, don't be condescending to people, customers or otherwise. It's foolish to think that you're selling a premium product and all people care about is the plastic surrounding it. Think outside the box (pun completely intended)

        • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 09/06/2018 - 14:02

          @blindingshadowz: Well 1. the people negging on here are not my customers, my customers get very fast and accurate customer service, nameless trolls I dislike.

          And second, whenever you ship a package you need to test it before selling it, it was shipped from HK to Melbourne, so you need to check to make sure there has been no damage.

          Anyway, love the pun, next ones won't be opened by me and tested and we can keep our sanity here

    As pointed out by Nomadesque, have a look at:

    His current OZB feedback is: 75.4% positive. If you removed the most recent two deals he posted (given people are reporting issues with the iPhone 6 deal now), the feedback score is 62%.

    • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 09/06/2018 - 15:40

      Given people are anonymously making posts saying other people they know are having issues yea…
      Your paying by payapl, in my other orders CONFIRMED buyers have said if there was an issue it was resolved.

      I sold like 50 phones on my last post, 1 person came to me with an order number, the other 2/3 are complaining about plastic rapping…

      On other deals people down voted them because they thought they could get it cheaper elsewhere or something, and since when was ozbargain feedback an indicator of the goods? eBay feedback (At like 96.7%) is what I have from confirmed buyers.

      • netsurfer on 09/06/2018 - 16:11

        Your eBay feedback is not based on selling of phones. 96% isn't a good feedback score. The most fundamental problem with your argument is that those people who reported issues did vote positive (which means they initially were on your side). It makes no sense for them to switch side for no reason.

        You already mentioned that you or your staff do open the boxes to "check" things and when put back careless by you or your staff, customers should not blame you and that's normal. According to you, given the phones were made 2+ years ago, despite suppose to be "brand new", they shouldn't expect chargers not to have dust on the inside - we are not talking about specks on the outside.

        Given that there are overseas sellers refurbishing phones previously owned by people on "new phone feeling" plan or equivalent or simply plans where you need to return your old phone to the telco after 1 or 2 years. Any phone models which are 2 years old or older claiming to be brand new from overseas are high risk items. Those refurbished phones are not allowed to be sold in Australia. Most of those sellers know and do declare them as refurbished when sold overseas.

        The fact is, even if we give you the benefit of doubt, we know that even you are not confident those phones are actually new and that's giving you the benefit of doubt.

        • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 09/06/2018 - 17:43

          Ahhhh NO my point is anyone can make a post on ozbargain regardless of if they purchased from me or not, out of the 2/3 people who are complaining on my last post only 1 actually replied to my PM with their order number…..

          Out of all of my sales from Ozbargain I have had only 1/2 returns.

          Most of the people that upvote my posts have NO ISSUES with my phones, the people that down vote will troll and trash it and I ask them for their order number and guess what? They don't exist!

          Tell me, are you associated with any stores??

          AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN "According to you, given the phones were made 2+ years ago, despite suppose to be "brand new"" AHH I'M SELLING OLDER MODELS. If you can't grasp the concept of a mobile phone being made 4 years ago when it was made, then stocked with a telecommunication provider untill that model was no longer the latest model and then auction off then there's no point in talking too you any further.

          Stop insulting Australian consumers and OZBers. You finally teased us about getting the stock from Telcos.

          So try and understand this yea,
          FIRST: I'M AUSTRALIAN MATE… BORN HERE, RAISED HERE, ETC

          SECOND: Take my iPhone 6 deal, the iPhone 6 was released in 2014, it was made in that same year, Telstra, Optus, Vodaphone, Sprint, AT&T, Verizion and all these companies only stock the first 2 latest models say the iPhone X and the iPhone 8, where do you think all their iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 stock goes? It gets auctioned off in bulk where they are warehoused namely in Hong Kong.

          Of all the people claiming to have purchased something on the iPhone 6 deal, NON of them messaged me about their issues through the shop or through Ozbargain and only 1 person replied to me with their actual order number leading me to believe that the ones that didn't give me an order number are fakes. I have sold about 80/90+ phones on here and I have had like 2/3 returns give or take. Of those returns in most cases, it seemed the phones were dropped by the postman and no amount of bubble wrap could save it.

          So that's it, this is a bargain site, and that's what I aim to do, post bargains, I have some of the lowest prices prices and I like to post them, thats it, you order it you get it, you pay by paypal, you get what was in the picture with the same specs as can be expected.

          where do you think all their iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 stock goes?

          They are still selling iPhone 6, 6S. Have you heard of Prepaid phones? Apple still sell iPhone 6S and 7. Why would a Telco sell brand new iPhones at a price way below the price when they know full well local customer will snatch them in minutes?

          It's common sense, what type of items would a Telco sell at auctions to non-local buyers? Items they cannot sell locally.

          NON of them messaged me about their issues through the shop or through Ozbargain and only 1 person replied to me with their actual order number

          That statement is a lie. One person replied to you with the order number (1 does not equal to none). Multiple people reported issues and they were from people who initially positive voted you. What? So people purposely positively voted the deal to then write those things? Compared to what you admitted (opened the box, breaking the packaging to check the SIM ejection tool etc…).

          I know one of your customers has elected to close a blind eye and live with the fact that it is a refurbished phone due to the price. It's his/her choice, but that doesn't mean the buyer is happy about the purchase.

          I'M AUSTRALIAN MATE… BORN HERE, RAISED HERE, ETC

          If that's the case, there is no excuse for changing the definition of brand new. If you are an Australian, man up, be honest and list the items as seller refurbished from now on. Once you opened an item, it is no longer brand new. You opened every item so none of them is brand new.

          If that's what you want to complain about SO BE IT there's no point talking too you, but opening it DOES NOT MAKE IT REFURBISHED…

          YES They sell iPhone 6 and 6's BUT THE TELCO'S DON'T HAVE NEARLY THE SAME DEMAND FOR THEM ONCE THEY SLIP DOWN A FEW MODELS.. ITS CALLED CASHFLOW AND MOVING ASSETS. They are purchased from Samsung and sent from Shenzhen probably to Hong Kong where they are WAREHOUSED. Then they send the number of pre ordered phones + whatever extra they think they will need, if they have more demand they take it out of the extra's they brought and then they have more shipped from HK.

          When the latest phone comes out demand falls and when a model is 2/3 models behind it goes to nearly zero.

          So they auction the phones at a higher price than they purchase them at making a nifty profit in the process and keep the few extra's they have left in Australia, its that simple.

          As your your anonymous friend your vouching for, I'd like her to please actually message me instead of complain to a third party, I'd like to see SOME EVIDENCE, ANY EVIDENCE at all to back up your claims, and I'd like you above all to move because if opening something to test if it hasn't been damaged during shipment is "using it" to you, I'm sorry but you need to move on…

          And rest assured, the next batch will have that 0.01cm thick plastic wrapping you seem to think makes a big difference.

          If you can't understand that someone who's got ethic to personally quality check each phone before it goes out so he can personally testify for each one is doing a good thing then I don't know what on earth happened.

The phone has not been used. It was made by the manufacturer and then put in a box then it goes through various warehouses and quality control measures to ensure you have a fully working phone.

      It is so obvious the seller lied and cannot stop keep on lying. The seller is still living in a bubble where he thinks all the OZBers are so gullible that he can continue with more pointless lies.

      Opening a brand new iPhone is the stupidest thing an iPhone seller could do. Doing so immediately makes the iPhone second hand. Any seller selling brand new iPhones would avoid doing that at all costs.

      Sellers selling refurbished phones, on the other hand, would need to check - for obvious reasons.

          Stuff like my Shavers and Tie clips I mark as BRAND NEW because they are BRAND NEW, other things like those motherboards I clearly mark as USED! This is where I know your lying! SHOW ME A SINGLE MOTHERBOARD MARKED AS "NEW"!, SHOW ME… IF its used I mark it as used, if its refurbished I clearly mark it as refurbished as I do with the old nokia's I sell and when its new I mark it as NEW like in the case of these phones. Get over it!

          @netsurfer: Thank you for point this one out to me, I am speaking to the staff member who likely posted it, it was posted on 03 Jun, 2018 17:10:45 AEST so its quite recent, I understand its a new worker who's still learning.

          Cheers

          @netsurfer: Out of 240 motherboard listings there are FOUR (4) that say "new"…
          You are a Troll or a perfectionist, not sure which in both cases, bye…

          @phillipdi: Nice try… How about:

          https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ASUS-K55VD-A55V-Motherboard-REV3…

          Picture 2, the thermal compound residue clearly showed it was removed from a laptop. There is also a bit of left over thermal compound just above the main chip in CPU.

          That's brand new?

          You are a liar and that's not the worst part. You are a terrible liar.

          @netsurfer: There are only 4 which said "new"
          The rest says "used"
          My worker made a mistake on 4/240 products… Get over it
