Question

Can the Galaxy J7 be shipped to the USA?

Apr 9, 2016 10:40AM PDT

So I have finally decided on the phone that I want. I decided to get an unlocked Samsung Galaxy J7. But I am not 100% sure that it can be shipped to where I live, there is nothing to suggest either way except it was not on Samsung's US site and you can't buy it at any store front in the US. I found it at this link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-j7-4g-with-16gb-memory-cell-phone-unlocked-gold/4836427.p?id=bb4836427&skuId=4836427
If you know whether or not this phone can be shipped to the USA please let me know.
Thanks!

Don't do this.

The issue of product warranty is usually why you never ship products across borders. There are so many posts (mostly flaming!) about this that you don't want to do this and learn first hand why.

So it doesn't ship?

Still curious if it would ship though...

Of course it ships.

There is little to stop me from shipping products from other countries (let's not get into a pedantic discussion.)

If YOU (I mean you) ship it in, then your warranty is iffy. I've seen folk blow up over no warranty as they bring a piece of gear in from another country. Unless it's in the stores or Samsung's own site, I strongly advise to not ship this from another country to you.

Ok then.
