Canadian with Faulty KF ... Help with Amazon - Kindle Fire General

Hey guys,
I was having troubles having my KF connecting to my computer and it turns out the USB port is screwed. Not sure how it happened but it did.
Here's my dilemma. I'm a Canadian, in Canada with a KF. The KF was bought off eBay. I know that Amazon is usually great with returns but how do I go about it if the KF was purchased off eBay?
Plus ... I'm rooted ... not sure how that affects my warranty.

I generally thought warranties only cover the first sale.

Add your Kindle File serial to your Amazon account and use the help function to talk to them.

Did the guy you bought it from ship it to you like that?
Since you bought it from eBay you might have to take that up with the eBay vendor.

I got mine from amazon.de. A really nice device!
I bought mine from egadgetdepot.com and I highly recommend them. They shipped out the same day and included an extra car charger, wall charger, and screen protector. They also pricematch.
I've got it )))))
www.tele-online.dk Just picked up mine today
From Euroset, one of the largest Russian retailers.
Now it's in a service center after the screen stopped responding to taps. Don't know whether Euroset sells crap or is it just bad luck.

My guess is that he is in Great Britain as the ebay listing is in GBP.....
Location
Correct UK, This is a UK English Shift.....
As it turns out I was already watching this in My Ebay before I saw the thread. Sadly as stated previously though, only shipping to UK.
Best of luck in selling.
really need one, just lost my x7500 today..
please let me know if u can ship it to Canada, thx
International
Buy it now and as long as your paypal address is certified i'll ship it to canada.
We may need to adjust the postage (I've stated £18 in UK, i think it'll be at least double that to canada)
maybe i just bid on it? thx
I am international attorney and have interest. Would you consider shipping to USA? (At my expense of course) Please advise on USD price if this is possibility. Also advise as to whether swaps or trades would be in order as feasible alternatives (e.g. I have 3 HTC TILT (Sprint-compatible) phones I would be willing to part with or augment within such a transaction.
SORRY!!!!
It's sold...... Thanks.....
If anyone is interested, I am selling a NEW HTC shift. I only bought it on the 21st Jan 2009.
I bought it for a friend (I do IT work privately) and he now says that he doesn't want it.
I am selling it for €600 (plus shipping) which is the price that I paid for it. I will include the invoice to prove this!!
The device has not been used other than to check that it works.
If anyone is interested, please contact me. nicholas at cross dot lu
Forgot to say... the shift is UK version, and I will ship worldwide so long as you are willing to pay for insured delivery (will be approx €30).
Here is the link to a certain site that I shouldn't mention: item n°: 140298568640

Mine is expected to arrive on Wednesday (UPS). Will let you know then. Others may get it earlier and let us know about their experience.
The description on eBay does state that it may or may not come in the original packaging, so we'll see.
Any feedback on those that have their units already?

I just got mine a half hour ago. Came in the original nook packaging with sticker in the back of the box and another sealing the box that say "certified pre-owned nook"
Looks pristine (minor scuff in back where unit touches surfaces when put down--I stand corrected, it was no scuff, just some dirt). Screen is flawless, no marks whatsoever. Up and running after registering in a minute. Dowloaded my books and opened the one I'm currently reading at the bookmark left on my Nook Color.
Version 1.0.1
Will root later after work.
Currently listed on eBay for $112, but these retail online for $139 with free shipping anyway.
Granted, $27 is something, but is that enough to cover the risk/hassle of refurb hardware?

They're shipped by B&N and they come with a full warranty. I'm pretty sure most of them are returns from people who didn't care for it. It's a bit more than 27 when you factor in the state tax on 112 vs 139.
Am I the only one or has any one else gotten this? Your experience? Good or bad?
I bought one after dropping the one my girlfriend bought me for my birthday present. Wasn't able to fix the screen and couldn't find a replacement online. Got it within 3 days and it looks brand new. Really happy about it. She has no clue I broke the first one. Hoping to find a way to fix it in the future.
Wow, it gets better and better! You can now get a refurbished Nook Touch from B&N via eBay for $99 (down from $112) with free shipping.
EDIT: NOW DOWN TO $79!

It's so cheap now that I'm debating whether to buy a backup unit, just in case.

What was the condition of the packaging when you received your device? It's still very new, so it's unlikely that any refurb units are even available yet.
Agreed, I bought mine of an ebay retailer from hong kong (530 total shipped!) and it came in the box but was not sealed, but this was because they had to check it to make sure everything works, which makes sense considering the loss they would take if I had to return it due to something being defective, etc. They were cool enough to include a us adapter charger plug in so I was all set to go. This simply hasnt been out long enough to have enough refurbished units out so no worries about that.
thank you.

Gearbest to the UK?

So I'm thinking about getting one from gearbest EU warehouse and guessing it won't come with a UK charger, what's the best way to charge without having multiple converters?
Would the phone run alright on three network?
Has anyone had one from them?

it only took 5 days to arrive via courier. i was able to check online the progress of where the parcel was. the company they used was called oneworld which i had to find on my own with a quick google search.
the only issue i have had today is setting it up LOL. the phone wont OTA update so i have spent the day trying to figure all that out and seeing as my last phone was the moto g 1st gen iv found it all a bit much for my first day but hopefully i will get into the swings of things. i have never rooted a phone before so any help would be appreciated. iv installed the updates manually by finding links on the web but my question is this, is the phone already rooted as it is the chinese A2001 MODEL. If its not will my updates have to be installed again if i root it?
also can someone give me a link to a easy guide for help please?

I can't help you with the phone specifically as I don't have it. Trying to work out if I'm getting this or the new nexus
Root is usually pretty simple, just a flash jver adb for recovery and then flash SuperSU or something
i want one two. So if you order from the EU warehouse, do you have to pay customs charges to UK and does it come with a UK plug. Thanks

No you shouldn't as it is coming from within the EU. I would be more worried about the lte support in the UK it might not support band 20 which is o2 / vodafone
