David77 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Has anyone had any recent experience purchasing an Apple computer in Mexico: either online or in Guadalajara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 My experience was years ago, and was better than excellent, including setup in my Chapala home. Contact Hall Microcomputers in Guadalajara. They have a website, and will do phone contact, etc. They also do periodic service visits to Lakeside.

David77 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Tried Halls about a year ago. They misdiagnosed a laptop and told me it was toast. IshopMixup in the Galleria Mall correctly diagnosed a bad battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteforron Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I bought my iMac in Andares Plaza in Guadalajara in the Mac store. It came with a wireless Spanish key board. So I ordered an English from Amazon for IMacs. So my computer was one year old in October works like new. It is for sale next week If interested contact me at vetteforron@yahoo.com. I will send stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Pattee Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 The online Apple store Mexico delivered my Air in 2 days, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That prompts even more questions! Delivered to your house or Mail Box? Delivered by what carrier? Was it packed inside a non descript outer box? Was there some kind of delivery confirmation required. How long ago? Big thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, USA credit cards work fine. (The same credit card I use with the conventional Apple App Store works seamlessly when I order from the Mexico Apple Store site.)
