Where to Buy or Purchase a Trezor Wallet in the Philippines
If you want to make sure that you’re cryptocurrency holdings are secure enough while being able to use them, getting a reputable hardware wallet like the Trezor Model One or the Trezor Model T is easily the answer. But, where do you buy one in the Philippines?
Buying from local stores
Since Trezor hardware wallets are pretty reputable and already quite well-known worldwide, it might be a bit uncommon to find some for sale on physical stores in your city, especially when you’re in those bigger and well-known Philippine malls and stores in cities like Metro Manila and Cebu. But, should you actually buy from them?
The answer: No. While it can definitely be quite difficult to fake a Trezor wallet or to physically alter one for malicious purposes, it’s still technically possible.
Buying from Shopee, Lazada eBay, OLX, and other websites
While there are definitely reputable Shopee Philippines sellers, Lazada sellers, eBay Philippine sellers, OLX sellers, and other online sellers that are selling Trezor devices, we still suggest against buying from these sites.
Why? While the chances might be a bit low, there are still chances of certain sellers’ Trezor wallet inventory being mixed up with other sellers’ inventory, causing you to possibly be sent a used or modified Trezor device.
Where should I purchase them instead?
If you want to be 100% secure that you actually bought a brand new, legitimate, unopened, and untampered Trezor Model One or Model T, the best place to buy your hardware wallet is still on the official Trezor website. That way, you’re severely decreasing the risks of your device being fake, used, or tampered with.
While buying from the official Trezor website might be a bit more costly due to the shipping fees, save yourself the future headaches of you wondering if you purchased a nice and legitimate Trezor hardware wallet if you bought one somewhere else.
