Network Compatibility
Our devices are unlocked and will accept a SIM card from any network, however may not support all bands offered by that provider. If you are unsure please don't hesitate to contact us for more information.

Local Stock
All local stock comes with a 12 month manufacturer’s warranty, which can be serviced at any authorised repair centre in your area. These items are detailed as local stock in the respective product listing.

International Stock
Unless otherwise stated within the product description, the majority of devices are sourced internationally as we get newer, better versions at more attractive prices for you. International stock is sourced from a variety of locations, dependent on availability, price and quality. As all stock ultimately comes from the same factories, in reality the only difference between phones sourced from New Zealand and overseas is in the charger, which may have a different plug.

Chargers
To combat this we include an adaptor and, wherever possible, a local charger, to ensure you will never go short with your battery. International stock handsets come with a local warranty serviced by our warranty partner.

Branding
Every effort is made to ensure that your new device is free from carrier software and branding, but this may not be possible for a small number of models.

Manual
Also, please be aware that some manuals and software may arrive in a non-English language, however we provide English versions in the specifications section of the product listing.  Should you have difficulty tracking it down, please contact us and we will email you the digital version.

Software
You may also find that there is a variation between the pre-installed software of a New Zealand and International version of the same device. In most cases the amount of 'bloatware' is lower in international stock, however some features advertised on the local manufacturer's website may not be present in our devices.

All transactions processed through the website are processed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) via the Buy Mobile secure check-out system.

Other currencies are shown for reference purposes only and payments made in these currencies do not include any international conversion fees that may be applied by your bank. Please note that your bank may also charge a different exchange rate to that displayed on the site.

Buy Mobile takes privacy and security extremely seriously. This industry receives constant attention from those trying to order products with other people's credit cards without their permission, so as a result all orders must proceed through a stringent verifications process before shipment. This may involve a phone call from one of our friendly verification staff or the confirmation of a fully refundable, random nominal charge to your credit card by email.

Your order will not be processed until the verification is complete, however we will ensure that you are kept up to date throughout and please feel free to contact us at any time regarding your order progress. Buy Mobile reserves the right to cancel an order at any time. An order is not considered to be a contract of sale until the item has shipped and a tracking number provided. Invoices are valid at the time of issue but final details are subject to change at any time at Buy Mobile's sole discretion.

To ensure that you receive your new phone as quickly and safely as possible, we use a range of delivery options. Delivery times for all options are detailed below.

GST

Please note that the prices shown on our site are either GST exempt or include NZ GST. GST is not charged or applicable on items below $400 as they are GST exempt given that we ship from Hong Kong direct to you. All items above $400 have the GST included in the product price. We collect the GST from you and pay it to Customs at the time that the order clears Customs in to New Zealand. This ensures no surprises for you and a fast delivery. Beware of other sites that falsify GST amounts, you may be personally at risk if the GST is not declared correctly.

The shipping prices will also change for orders over $400 in order to include the Customs fee charged by the New Zealand Customs Service and the courier. You will not have to pay any extra fees or tax on your order beyond what is shown in the checkout. We broker and pay all taxes and fees on your behalf.

Bottom line: We will collect and pay all GST and associated fees so that your order clears NZ Customs fast and gets to you without interruption.

If a replacement handset is offered it will be of the same make and model where possible. If it is not possible to replace your item with the same make and model, Buy Mobile reserves the right to replace the item with a functionally equivalent item at its sole discretion.  In the case of the product no longer being available, we may choose to replace it with a similar product up to the same value. This value is determined by the last Buy Mobile retail price prior to the time of replacement. The replacement is not redeemable for cash. The warranty from the original item will transfer to the item that has been provided as the replacement.  It is not possible to extend or renew this warranty in any way.  The warranty period is not extended and will expire on the same date as the original warranty item's warranty expiration date.

Once you have been authorised with an RMA code you may return the item or the affected part (if it is not the entire handset) to the nominated Care Centre or BuyMobile designated service location. You must return your item or the affected part before the expiry of the Warranty Period.

When making a Limited Warranty claim you may be required to present:

 - The item (or affected part)
- The legible and unmodified original proof of purchase, which clearly indicates the name and address of the seller, the date and place of purchase, the product type
- The IMEI or other serial number

This Limited Warranty extends only to the original, first end user of the item and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser. If you have no proof of purchase you cannot demonstrate that you are a contracting party. If you are a subsequent purchaser you can contact the Commerce Commission for further clarification of your rights.

This Limited Warranty does not cover user manuals or any third party software, settings, content, data or links, whether included or downloaded during installment, assembly, shipping or at any other time in the delivery chain or otherwise and in any way acquired by you.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the repairer does not warrant that any manufacture’s software will: meet your requirements; work in combination with any hardware or software applications provided by a third party, or; that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error free.

The warranty does not extend to: normal wear and tear (including, without limitation, wear and tear of camera lenses, batteries or displays); transport costs, unless specified in your warranty option; defects caused by rough handling, including, without limitation, defects caused by sharp items, bending, compressing or dropping; defects or damage caused by misuse of the item, including use that is contrary to the instructions provided by the manufacture (as set out in the item’s user guide), or; any other acts beyond the reasonable control of BuyMobile.

This Limited Warranty does not cover defects or alleged defects where the item was used with, or connected to, a product, accessories, software and/or service not manufactured, supplied or authorised by BuyMobile, or was used otherwise than for its intended use. Defects are often caused by viruses from unauthorised access to services, other accounts, computer systems or networks. This unauthorised access can take place through hacking, password-mining, and a variety of other means.

This Limited Warranty does not cover defects where the battery has been short-circuited, or where the seals of the battery enclosure or the cells are broken and show evidence of tampering. Further, the Limtied Warranty does not cover defects where the battery has been used in items other than those for which it has been specified.

This Limited Warranty does not apply if the item has been opened, modified or repaired by anyone other than an authorised service centre, or if it is repaired using unauthorised spare parts. Further, the Limited Warranty does not apply if the item’s serial number, mobile accessory date code, or IMEI number has been removed, erased, defaced, altered or made illegible in any way. This will be determined at the sole discretion of BuyMobile and the repairer.

This Limited Warranty does not apply if the item has been exposed to: moisture; dampness; extreme thermal or environmental conditions; rapidly changing thermal or environmental conditions; corrosion; oxidation; spillage of food or liquid, or; influence from chemical product.

Use of non-standard subscriber identity modules (SIMs):

SIMs or SIM cards are small electronics cards issued by telecommunication networks that identify and allow customers to connect to and utilise a cellular mobile phone network. Use of non-standard or SIM cards not issued specifically by the network that the customer is subscribed to may result in damage to the phone. Use of any SIM not specifically and officially issued by the customer's subscribed network operator shall immediately void all warranty offered with the handset and the handset will be deemed to no longer have a valid warranty of any kind.

This includes copied SIMs, dual or multi-SIM modules and SIM adapters/carriers. Similarly use of a micro-SIM in a standard sized SIM slot (with or without an adapter or carrier module) shall have the same effect of immediately voiding all warranty offered with the handset and the handset will be deemed to no longer have a valid warranty of any kind.

A third party independent operator provides the SIM card and cellular and/or other network or system on which the handset operates. BuyMobile will not accept responsibility under this warranty for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range of the cellular or other network or system.

Before the item can be repaired or replaced, the operator may need to unlock any SIM-lock or other lock that may have been added to item by a specific network or operator. Accordingly, BuyMobile does not accept responsibility for any delay in warranty repairs where the delay is caused by the operator’s failure to unlock any SIM or other lock. Please remember to make back-up copies or keep written records of all important content and data stored in your item, as content and data may be lost during repair or replacement.

If testing analysis reports that Samsung Knox is Triggered or SuperSU is installed on the device, then ALL warranty cover is voided. This includes both software and hardware, as once custom kernels are flashed, or a device rooted the code gets rewritten, in line with rulings made by the manufacturer's this constitutes hardware damage.

BuyMobile, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall not under any circumstances be liable, either expressly or impliedly, for any damages or losses of any kind whatsoever resulting from loss of, damage to, or corruption of, content or data during repair or replacement of the item. All parts of the item or other equipment replaced by BuyMobile is the property of BuyMobile.

BuyMobile and its authorised service companies reserve the right to charge an assessment and handling fee where the returned item is not covered by the terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty.

Claims for warranty that are found to fall outside of the terms and conditions of the warranty will attract an inspection fee that is payable to the repair centre prior to the customer's item being returned to the customer.  Failure to make this payment within 7 days of invoice will result in cost recovery being sought by the disposal of the item and other by other methods at the discretion of the warranty provider.

When repairing or replacing the item, BuyMobile may use products or parts that are new, equivalent to new, or re-conditioned. Your item may contain country specific elements, including software. If the item has been re-exported from its original destination country to another country it may contain country specific elements that are not considered defective under this Limited Warranty. BuyMobile will not be liable for repair or replacement where the item fails to meet performance or hardware expectations due to the build, quality or design of the device by the original manufacturer, unless the item is deemed faulty by BuyMobile or our authorised repair agent.

This Limited Warranty is in addition to, and does not affect your legal (statutory) rights under applicable national laws relating to the sale of consumer products. BuyMobile provides this Limited Warranty to BuyMobile products.

Without limiting your other rights under this Limited Warranty, if a product you have purchased off Buy Mobile fails to comply under any national laws relating to the sale of consumer products, then you can request that we remedy that failure and we may, choose to: 

- repair or replace the product; 

- or if it is not reasonable for us to repair the product, refund you the purchase price.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
