For sure, amazon.ca is definitely an option, I've never performed SE there so it would be a fresh account. I will definitely do some digging on WIR, vaguely read about it but nothing in depth. I'll do some poking around the forum and hit back with any questions/concerns. Thanks very much for the input!

That’s the way, we will be here to help

I might have to pivot from Amazon, turns out the iphones 14's are sold by 3rd party sellers and not amazon directly. Do you guys have any experience with this? Does this make the SE much more difficult because the merchant is a much smaller company?

In the event that I have to pivot, do you guys have any recommendations? There's Bestbuy.ca (reluctant to hit this since I just successfully DNA'd airpods from them), there's also Costco.ca which I have no experience with, or directly from apple but if im trying to use the phone in CA I wouldnt want it bricked.

I would also be open to purchasing in person with bestbuy.ca and doing sealed box method for the return. Would just need insight on the right seals and dummy replacement.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!!

maybe legit return it and research another company, I am sure there is something
