The new 12-inch MacBook will be on the market early tomorrow morning, and users will be able to buy it online or directly from Apple stores. Because the Hong Kong version of the MacBook is 1000 dollars cheaper than the national MacBook, for many users, they are more likely to buy a local version of the MacBook. So how do domestic users snap up a 12-inch MacBook and take a look at the following buying strategy?
1. Open the Apple website, in the lower right corner of the official network switch into the Hong Kong Apple website. or directly to the Hong Kong Apple website
2. Enter the new MacBook sales page, click on the top right corner of the "Buy Now" button, enter the purchase page, choose their own configuration and color, you can normally purchase.
After doing a job on the Internet, the next step is to inform friends in Hong Kong or go to Hong Kong to pick up their own goods.
The next small series for everyone to share some of the water guests to Hong Kong to take goods experience
The first step is to buy a phone card that can receive a message in the mainland and activate it.
1. I use the China Mobile Hong Kong peoples 2g card, buy a minimum denomination of 50 HKD on the line, a treasure on 20RMB or so. 711 in Hong Kong can also be bought, HK $50. Downstairs Feng friend Beachboygy said One2free card is also available.
2. Follow the calling card instructions to activate it. Hong Kong peoples card in the mainland can also be activated, you can directly dial #*130# activation and check this card number
3. Record the card number and use it when booking.
4. Try sending a text message to see if it can be sent normally. To the mainland mobile phone, the front plus 00186. If you can not send the normal, quickly find the seller contact to solve the problem.
5. Important: Each telephone number can only be booked successfully.
"Step Two" has an apple ID
1. Each Apple ID is only successfully booked 1 times
2. The contact person in the registered Apple ID may not be a pick-up person, but the contact person who fills in the reservation must be the person who takes the machine.
"Step three" ready to book The information
1. When picking up the goods, the clerk will check the photos on the documents carefully and I must take them.
2. Each document can only be booked once.
3. ID card, Hong Kong and Macao Pass, passport can be booked, the number recorded on the computer, you can paste the past to save time.
4. If you are not recognized by the shop assistant, you can definitely take your own several documents on the same day to book the goods. In order to avoid being recognized, you can make separate bookings for different stores. (No problem with the test)
5. Think about which store you want to book. There are three direct shops in Hong Kong: Festivalwalk (another city store), IFC (International Financial Centre), Causewaybay (Tongluowan). At the Futian port or the Lo Wu port, another city shop in Kowloon Tong is the most recent one, so the number of people who subscribe to the house is the most, and the time of the booking may not be so many choices.
"Fourth Step" 8:00, start booking
1. The booking page of the Hong Kong website
2. Point to the right "start", login Apple ID
3. Select shop, model and other information. A reservation can only choose one model capacity color, the number of purchases can be selected 1 or 2.
4. Fill in the data of the machine. Must be careful, the type of documents do not choose the wrong, otherwise the consequences are very serious. For example, you choose the Passport, fill in the Hong Kong and Macao Pass number, then you not only can not take the machine, and this pass number can not be used. It's a waste of a badge number and a trip to the white.
5. Select the machine time. Booking time is 8:00-night 8:00, every one hours is an optional period. You must take the goods on the same day by appointment time.
6. After the completion of the information, will be transferred to a new page, the string into the Hong Kong card phone to send a text message to 64500366 (because the Hong Kong number is issued Hong Kong number, the front Plus no Hong Kong code 00852 is not a problem), and then receive the Apple returned the booking code, The booking code and the phone number of the receipt of the reservation code are entered into the Web page, and the "book Success" page is entered, and the successful mail is also received.
7. Fewer people are booked on weekdays and a little more on weekends. However, the first two weeks of experience, even if the weekend is not to snap up the software before 9:00 can grab, now should be more and more good reservations.
"Fifth step" to the shop to pick up the machine
1. To the corresponding direct shop, recommended to take the MTR, all in the subway mouth just come out.
Kowloon Tong Station: Festivalwalk (another city store)
Central Station: IFC (International financial Centre)
Tongluowan Station: Causewaybay (Tongluowan)
2. In the time of appointment to find the reserve logo of the White brand queue verification machine. (although according to my purchase experience, a little early and a little late, can still be taken to the machine, but do not recommend the risk of being late.) IFC store needs to see the successful booking of the mail, another city shop generally not.
3. Take the machine to pay. e-Mail can be asked for electronic invoices, electronic invoices printed with the same as the paper small ticket. Two machines can ask for two apple bags.
4.IFC Shop does not allow the shop card people and pick up a different person, if you want to use credit card to help others brush, you can first on the second floor to buy equal (can buy accurate value) gift card, and then use gift cards to buy. Another city store swipe card person and take the machine person can not be the same person, take the machine person in line to take the computer, another person with the past card. Tongluowan Shop situation is not clear, experienced Feng friends share under. Feng friend Beachboygy added: "Tongluowan still don't consider to brush someone else's card ... To document, I and credit card unified. "The card does not have to sign, does not have this aspect the question."
"Sixth step" clearance
1. It is necessary to note that the recent investigation has been quite stringent.
2. In addition to some trivial experience, the main face (good face) and Rp.
Basic situation:
1. Under normal circumstances, only bulky baggage need to have a machine, other handbags, small backpacks and so on, are not required to machine.
2. In addition to the machine baggage, the other customs do sampling. It means that the customs stand there and look at people, and if Ta thinks you're not right, he'll let you stop and turn things over or open them up for him to see.
3. This is mainly to see the process of RP, even with a small amount and activate the throw box, customs if you do not like the eyes and then check your activation date, you have to kneel.
4. Do not think that a machine is nothing, was sampling to, a machine according to tax.
Personal view of coping strategies: (for reference only)
1. Do not put the machine in a large suitcase, with the body or small tote bag These do not use the place.
2. If you are a vicious or overly petty easy to suspect is a criminal, please self-respect.
3. If you are too thin and pale and prone to doubt it is XD, please self-respect. (Friends with peers are therefore searched ... _
4. Do not wear inappropriate clothes, especially wear too thick, it will be easy to suspect you in the clothes hidden machine.
5. Calm and natural clearance, how to do, look nervous will be suspected.
6. Try to make yourself look like a visitor to Hong Kong shopping, such as dress up for a visit, a shopping bag with some merchandise on hand. Not a water passenger.
7. Since the MacBook is not as small as the iphone, it is hard to be prepared to deduct 12% of the tariffs, so it is recommended that you refer to the same experience as the user who purchased the local MacBook.
