[Q] Is kmax-store.com legit? (galaxy s4) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if it's the right place for this kind of thread but I would like to know what you think of this site: kmax-store (dot) com . So basically I want to buy a galaxy S4 and their price is amazing: 500$ for a 16 gb international version + 26$ shipping to Canada. The site doesn't offer a paypal payment method so I'm a little skeptical whether it's a legit site or not. Do you guys know someone who already ordered something from this site and received the item? Thank you.

That big site is weird, many international lenguages, many products, amazing prices... Western union paiment??? Unable to find a single review over the net... Hum... I'd also like to order an s4 there but I'm worried...

Ok so I heard about this site when I contacted a guy who was selling his galaxy s4 on kijiji for 550$. Unfortunately, he said that he already sold it but told me that he bought it from kmax-store and said that I could also buy one from them... But I don`t really have proof that he really bought it there so I think I'll just wait for someone else to order and make a review of the site or something.

Guess what? Same story here. The same guy told me on kijiji montreal that I can get one at kmax. Got to be scam!!

This is bull$hit ^^
You created your account to confirm that they're not scam?
Ok show us proof/papers from that website.
Just blurr out your name/address and imei number.
Untill someone legit here can confirm that site is safe, i highly recommend to stay away from it.

Yesterday I was going through the checkout process just to see what kind of payment method was available. Once I saw there was no paypal and a weird money transfer to a bank I knew that something was wrong so I didn't pay. Now look what I received today in an e-mail from the store:
"Hello, Every day KMax and Samsung offer to our customers 1 x Samsung Galaxy S3 32GB White. You are the winner for today. To confirm the winning, you must complete your payment for your first order and provide a photo or scan of the bank transfer receipt or Statement.
Please reply to provide more details."
So yeah as Dean said this site is total bull****. Now I feel really bad for those who placed an order there:/

How to order from Amazon.de and ship to UK?

First of all sorry if this is the wrong section but the Q&A looked more like Note related question rather than ordering assistance.
I am trying to order from Amazon.de and have it shipped to the UK, tried and almost succeeded when i ordered it, a case and a host USB lead. It said it had shipped (all of it) last week but soon after i received an email saying that the Note could not be shipped do to weight problems?
So now i have been screwed on the shipping for the extras and they wont send me the phone, have tried several times but when i get to confirming the order it says the same thing about electronic goods.
My question is for anyone in or around the UK that has received a note from Amazon.de how on earth did you do it lol i have tried emailing and phoning them since i have a German speaker in the house who can help out but nothing back yet in over 5 days
I ordered my Note from Amazon.de a few weeks ago but didnt order extras to avoid any complication. I ordered those from elsewhere and in the uk. My Note arrived in a few days with no difficulties at all.
Try doing the same.

Sadly i have tried that just the note on its own gets the the confirmation section before saying it cannot be shipped to my chosen address (mainland UK) funny thing is i have already had several items from amazon.de throughout the year including some very expensive items and very inexpensive items.
Really want the Note but i refuse to pay the prices some users think are fair in the UK especially for used models, i mean £500 for a USED item when i can get it for £350 :s
Yes the UK prices are a rip off as are the contract prices which is why i went to amazon.de. I must have been lucky as that was my first ever purchase from there.
I successfully placed an order for a white Note via Amazon.de on Tuesday last week and received it without any issues on Friday ...
That's not very helpful to you I know, but just wanted to let you know that even until very recently, orders have been going through fine with them with shipping to the UK ...
For info, I ordered without accessories ...
Hope you get it sorted cos the cost saving is fab
I wonder if they've got wind of people ordering it to save a fortune and put an end to it. I got mine from Amazon.de at the beginning of January for just 410 Euros. It arrived at my house the following day and bizarrely enough even though it came with a Euro mains plug it was shipped via City Link and came from Milton Keynes.
Sorry that doesn't help you.
I'm not sure why anyone is now ordering through German amazon as the price is now €564 around £475 but UK price is now £519 so for £45 more you get UK delivery and UK warranty. . I was gonna order from Germany but due to sgreen problems chose UK and I'm glad I did cos first note had a really bad screen and amazon replaced it and paid for return postage

And worst UK prices have increased. Handtech was selling for £480 when I ordered from Amazon.de.

Right i went away and tried a few different addresses just in case it was the layout of the address that was messing with the system. Tried 5 different addresses from around the country (friends) and two business addresses (my current and previous) with no luck but i am now thinking it has something to do with what Lakota suggested? as i ordered about £3000 in goods from them before Christmas?
And with a discount i get normally it would mean i would get the Note from from them for around about £350 DELIVERED that's the only reason i am trying to push for this.
Would anybody mind logging into amazon.de and trying to purchase a note for a test? i get as far as choosing an address when it fails so nowhere near checkout? it would make things clear or at least solve an issue because if someone from the UK can still do it, it has to be a problem with the storage of my addresses thats causing the problem.
Just tried the order process again ... I get all the way through to the payment page ... Address went through fine
I order one January 15th, shipped 17th, arrived 19th.
No extras.
Price paid: e546.68 = £441.98 (by my calculation).
Judicous use of Google Translate helped.
Lovely machine. Glad to join this forum.

Looks like Amazon have run out of Notes!
The only links now are to used Notes - 481yoyos! I paid on 450 for a new one.
did you all order new ones? because for used products, the seller can restrict the shipment to Germany.

Yup mine is a brand new white Note ... Amazon.de are showing as having 11 in stock at the moment ...
mine was ordered on the 7th and came on the 9th. you can email custmer service or call them with number given on same webpage. i had to call them a couple of times for replacement. ist ***** hung up on me cause i couldnt speak german. next chap was nice and helpful but phone was out of stock so advised only refund after i sent phon ebcak. but phone worked fine after software update so didnt send it back. having some issues with sd card though, dont know if it is the card as phone works fine without card.
since i had enquired in my email if available for delivery to uk a week or so ago and to let me knw when in stock as i wanted to buy one more note. they emailed me last week saying 1-2 week lead time for delivery to uk so they did get more stock unless they ran out of it again. and yes it was for the black/blue note and not the costlier white one.
call them to sort out your probs. 2 people i spoke to at amazon.de customer service spoke ok english and were helpful but one ***** hung up on me cause i didnt speak german.
wtf yesterday was showing as 503euros now today showing 70euros more!

i didnt call her a ***** because she couldnt speak english. it was because she didnt pass me on to their english speaking colleagues who deal with international customers bearing in mind i called their separate number for international customers (excluding german, swiss or austrians who have a separate free call back number from amazon.de) at my cost on a number they provide for international customers like me.
if you take the time to amazon.de customer services contact us page, and use the option for phone contact, they will call you for free if you are in germany, switzerland or austria. but for other countries they give another number international customers can call. You are the twunt if you expect a company that gives a separate number for international customers to call from outside germany / austria / switzerland but still speak only german. jerk.
for your information they do have customer service operators that speak english and i spoke to two of them who were good. they also have reps who write back to you in engish and they wrote back to me in english. and they wrote back to me in english by email informing me of new stock as i wanted to buy another note.
twunt yes but thats you sir and not me!
why because they allow me to use my uk account name and passowrd to buy from that website with delivery to the Uk and EU wide warranty and they do have reps thats speak and write english, all that ***** had to do was forward me to one instead of hanging up. That goes against their own customer service moto to provide the best customer service of any company.
rant over.
Right I finally got an email back claiming to not know why I can't order a new note (while in stock) and when I asked why I couldn't order from their warehouse they said they do not ship from warehouses to the uk? I would have though most products make that leap?
Anyway with the prices becoming stupid I guess I will just pass in the note for now since it was going to be replacing my half dead optimistic 2x but it looks like I will be holding on a while longer lol
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys/gals, I will be a note owner some day and.....I'LL BE BACK!!!

Had this happen to our account before with Iphone 4s's of all things
(would'nt have minded so much if they where hocking something Decent )
Will see what happens. Thankfully I am covered by Paypal.
I almost purchased 4 phones from THIS GUY at $600 a piece (at least 2 he said)... but I purchased more than 3 I would get "big discount" ....
So totals were $1,800.00 .. So I decided to make an IP trace. He is supposed to be in Texas, but it returned from yahoo servers in CA.

Item was shipping from the "UK"... yeah right. Im pretty sure this account is genuine, but got hacked and they are using it for this kindda sh*t.
Oh, something else,.. the email address he is using was apparently made may 9th... BEWARE!
Hi
I saw this same listing and enquired. I received the exact same reply from Elise (no taxes etc) and I followed up with some questions because it all seemed too good to be true and I didn't think the 64GB was even available until after the 16GB had been out a while. She replied saying her business partner who is also her brother works for Samsung, hence the bulk buying they are able to do. When I asked about the closed listing (it ended during our E-mail correspondence) she said she had to close the listing because she was receiving too many requests. She did say it'd all go through eBay still, so that buyer and seller were both protected. I had to reply with details of what I wanted (pebble blue or marble white) plus my address INCLUDING MY EBAY USERNAME. She claimed this was to check my feedback but I think it's so they can generate a convincing spoof E-mail from eBay.
She said I'd receive an invoice from eBay soon and to let her know when I did.
Sounds very fishy! Her English is poor too.
I'll let you know what the eBay E-mail looks like.
Cheers all

Yes mate, I know how you feel. I got straight on to my credit card company this morning & told them to not pay out on this transaction, also contacted Paypal & they told me not to worry as even if the sale has gone through I can still get my money refunded from them. Just annoying, but I suppose its as they say, if the deal looks to good to be true it probably is. Still annoying though.
It's good to know PayPal will cover us in these situations. And it's also sickening to know there are so many ****s like this out there trying to rip people off.
Still no 'E-mail from eBay' to be seen though!
You're exactly right, I myself kept on thinking if it's too good to be true, it probably is, but when it revolves around a sweet piece of kit like the GSIII it's hard not to be intrigued!
And good work on the IP lookup Candanga!

Interesting and possible they got some of the Ones released in Germany (Their physical address on the site says "Warsaw, Poland"). I'd have to check on them before I bought anything since I've never heard of them.
Just found this on a quick Google search for them: http://www.scamadviser.com/is-idigitalshop.com-safe.html
Not sure if they're good or bad, but they are very new apparently.

It could be.
But I still don't believe they have them in stock. (especially the RED one!!!)
Really don't think its true since they claim to have a "Red HTC One" in stock.. someone call contact them and find out
i made a contact yesterday, thay told me so.. i was wondering if someone has already bought something from them

Analysis Details:-
This webiste is very new , and as such doesn't have an online reputation yet. As with all new businesses , we suggest that you take care and if necessary get in contact with the owners before placing an order of value.
This site is using an anonymous service - which prevents us from identifying the site owner. This can sometimes be just so that the owner does not receive spam, but be aware that many scam sites use this as a method to hide their identify. If this is an ecommerce site - we would suggest you confirm the business address with the website owners.

mmm... why the hell they should use anonymous service??
I'm from Warsaw and they use false postal code... I've asked them a question, now waiting for answer, but I'd be very careful.
Sounds too good to be true
Apparently they have a mobile number in the contact us page which is always off lol
Actually it's not a mobile, but it still sounds too suspicious for me.
Come on, guys: it's a SCAM!
They pretend to have in stock the Red one and to sell all versions a a ridicolous price!!! :silly:

Free S-View Cover claim.

Hi, i bought my Galaxy S4 on 28th june.
Samsung had a promotional offer that a GS4 bought within the dates 10 June-30 June would recieve a free S-View cover.
The offer had to be claimed online, by entering the IMEI number. But, when i entered my IMEI number, it showed that the offer is not available for my device.
I even mailed my details and a scanned copy of the invoice to their email id. But as if now, i haven't received any response.
Does this mean that i am fooled by the shopkeeper or my device is suspected to be authenticated ???
Please help me, i want to avail that offer.
Well thats bad luck buddy. Talk to ur dealer and ask him to get it done for him.. if you have sent a mail just wait for a reply..
Is this offer online or just with your supplier?

So if I just got the free one I shouldn't have to do anything else but wait?
Best to call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # shown in the SAMSUNG PAY app. I just did mine this morning was as able to provide my IMEI #, and pay the $99 ($107.17 after tax / shipping charges) to get the full bundle ordered. Now the wait!!

When I had it on my phone, it was showing a tiny tiny picture of what I believe was a phone. They're possibly updating the website to put in a correct graphics to represent the phone? Not sure.

I went to the website on my phone and put it in desktop mode and that solved the issue. My VR is just waiting to be shipped
Just wait. If it's accepted it'll come, eventually. My gift from the Note 7 took like 3 weeks or something.
Also - you'll prob use the VR twice and it'll collect dust lol
Ship time?

So we are looking at a 6-8 weeks wait time, right? At least the little flyer T-Mobile gave me said that.

That's what the Samsung website says. I have no idea why it would take so long so I'm hoping it will come before then. I'm an impatient person so I'll probably be checking the status every day. I'll let you know if I find out anything else
How long is the free promotion available?

Well the $99 package is sold out from what people are saying, but the free VR headset and controller is available to claim through 5/14, but I believe it's only for those that pre-ordered. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Ok cool, and yeah it's only for those who pre-ordered which I have. I signed up for promotion but I accidentally pressed on $99 one and now I can't revert back to free one. Do you know to get free gear VR and controller?

If you din't want the $99 bundle, then for sure call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # and explain to them what is going on and for them to correct what's needed so you can make sure you get your free VR headset at the very least. Sooner than later. With how fast these bundles sold, I'm afraid they won't have enough free headsets for those that pre-ordered.
I pre-ordered from Best Buy on 3/31. When I picked up the S8 on 4/21 the receipt from Best Buy showed the date as 4/21. I uploaded that receipt when I registered for the free gift. Anyone know if Samsung will know that the phone was pre-ordered and not simply bought on 4/21?
Has anyone submitted a receipt similar to my situation and had their registration for the free gift approved? Thank you!

Same here. Just received email saying the purchase did not take place during the approved window. This sucks.
Is this offer open to the UK too?

You can likely print out your phone upgrade agreement from your carrier, that should show when your account was updated the day your pre order was placed. How that helps.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and got the same message from Samsung when I uploaded the receipt they gave me with the phone. Luckily I pre-ordered online so I went to bestbuy.com, logged into my account, and clicked "Order Status" at the top of the screen. Then I clicked the order number for the purchase of my S8 and that took me to a page showing the order details, including the date that I pre-ordered. I clicked the print button on that page and it printed a full receipt with the order date and pickup date. I just uploaded that receipt so hopefully that will take care of it.
For anyone who is interested, the Order Details screen URL was www-ssl.bestbuy.com/profile/orders/order-details?orderId=<your order ID>
