As of publish time, zunes are ONLY OFFICIALLY available within the USA. I said "officially", because like the USA-only iPhone, the zune is also enjoying users from all around the world.
Ruthie Arroyo, a visitor of this blog has just started selling zunes locally.
For those interested in getting their own, without having to ask someone abroad to buy one for you or having to deal with zero warranty at all (she has 1 week personal guarantee), then this is your best route. I'll paste here her ad for those interested. :)
Just a note, the seller and this blog is not affiliated whatsoever, I'm just posting this for those who've been emailing me and inquiring on where to get their zunes, well this is your chance to get one at very good price! Good luck zune buying!
Zune Buyer information by Ruthie
Zune 4GB : P6,000
Zune 8GB : P7,300
Zune 30GB: P7,500Zune 80GB : P12,000
Zune 120GB: P13,500
- USB sync cable, and headphones included. [All that comes in the box! :) ]
- We don't stock-up on the 80gb, so if you want one, contact me so I can order one for you. At least one week personal warranty is also given.
- Used but in good condition Zunes can also be negotiated :)
- Currently, we don't sell any accessories (silicon cases, car charger, wall charger, premium earbuds, etc). But we'll probably sell some soon!
We can do meet-ups in Katipunan area, Gateway, or any LRT station if you live in Manila area. If you don't, we can also ship it through Air21, shipping at your expense.
As for the payment, bank deposit is preferred. We're considering GCash but we haven't had the time to inquire about it yet so as for now, bank deposit muna. Also, we require atleast 15% (of total amount) security deposit.
Seeing all the overpriced Zunes in TipidPC, eBay.ph, and Multiply, me and my partner decided to venture into this buy and sell business pledging to always give fair prices and the good deals, if not best. Ripping off customers is not our thing
If you have any more questions (or if I failed to mention any crucial information here), feel free to email me. You may also text me at 0917-5582740 or my partner (Joey) at 0927-6244461 / 0922-30330374, but the email is still the best way to contact me [ruthiemaria@yahoo.com]
Update: Just want to let you know that we've created a multiply site:
http://zpilipinas.multiply.com. Still working on getting more accessories! :)
Thanks again, Roman! :) I'll keep you posted regarding any changes or upgrades :)
ReplyDeleteay sayang.. i need pa naman th accessories. pero i'll check it out. thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteSana mas dumami pa ang pinoy ZUNErs! Nakakatawa talaga yung presyo nung ibang nagbebenta sa ebay.ph saka sa multiply. Bili na kayo para dumami pa tayo at sana magkaroon ng EB ang pinoy ZUNErs!

ReplyDeleteJust a note, the seller and this blog is not affiliated whatsoever, I'm just posting this for those who've been emailing me and inquiring on where to get their zunes

Thanks too, to Roman for this amazing site....keep it up
ReplyDeleteChris
Thanks also Jay and Chris for giving your feedback! :) I hope she'll sell accessories soon!
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting the blog guys! I appreciate the kind words :)
ey this is great news indeed (I won't have to visit the US anymore hehehe)
ReplyDeleteSince there's a demand, you could still go to the USA, but remember to take some back and sell them here..ehehe! cheaper of course :)
ReplyDeletelucky me!! woot! woot!
ReplyDeletemuch better than my previous ipod
ReplyDeleteAre there any battery problems with the Zune? I bought an iPod and in more or less 10months mahina na ang charge ng batt kahit na I take good care of it naman and follow Apple's charging tips. Kumusta naman ang sa Zune? Thanks! -ysab
ReplyDeleteThe battery life is okay, not the best there is, but it's not bad depending on what you do on your Zune. Video Playback and FM tend to drain batteries the most.
ReplyDeleteLithium Ion batteries are typically like that, like most cellphones and laptop batteries are.
Zune 80
* Audio: up to 30 hours
* Video: up to 4 hours
Zune 8 and 4
* Audio: up to 24 hours

ReplyDelete@ruthie
Pwede bang walang downpayment.. but sure buyer.. nakakatakot baka ma scam eh.. mabuti nang nagiingat.. dto lang ako sa Q.C.
View Link for colors:
ReplyDeleteZune80, zune8 and zune4 colors

You may also text her at 0917-5582740 or email at ruthiemaria@yahoo.com.
NO.. not that color.. the screen color.. creative have 16.7million colors.. e2 kaya ilan??

Thanks, Roman! I'll probably purchase one na.
ReplyDelete@saber: Email her directly and ask. She responds pretty fast and is very accommodating.
Ysab
Roman ilang colors?? Alam mo na ba?? Sabihin mo sakin kapag alam mo na ah..
ReplyDeleteMaganda rin ba A/V output nito?? Kailagan ko kasi yung may A/V output na maganda..
Gusto ko sana ng 80gb eh.. pero titignan ko kung may bagong features yung 120gb baka yun n lng bilin ko..
@Anony
Bumili ka?? Magkano yung downpayment??
Easy ka lang Saber baka atakihin ka sa puso.
ReplyDeleteBat kaya di mo na lang itanong sa kanya? :)
Hehehe..
ReplyDeleteHindi ko pa sya kinokontak eh..

ruthie is great seller i guarantee that. i bought my 80 gig zune from her. nice seller, keep bringing the zune's here in PH....kill the the ipod craze..
ReplyDeleteYou can trust these guys (Ruthie and Joey). Definitely NOT A SCAM.
ReplyDeleteI bought my 120gb zune from them, medyo natagalan nga lang since ako daw yun unang kumuha nitong ganitong model.
I have the item with me already, it's so hard to fill up, 100gb more to go! LOL
Great seller. I bought a zune80 with a dead pixel and it was replaced after a few weeks. Now I don't have any complains with it :)
ReplyDeleteFor those interested in purchasing a BRAND NEW SEALED Microsoft Zune 120 GB Video MP3 Player Glossy Black, tignan niyo na lang po ang item ko sa eBay.
ReplyDeleteBale meron na po kasama silicone skin, screen protector, and armband.
Ang starting bid po ay PHP 13,995.00. Mura na po yan considering na mahirap hagilapin sa Pilipinas at newly released product.
Ang kagandahan po rito ay nasa Pilipinas na yung item. Yung iba po kasi pre-order basis pa at matatagalan bago makarating sa Pilipinas.
Hi guys, magkano na ba ngayon ang mga zunes ni ms ruthie? 80gb and 120? sa mga nakabili na.. thanks :)
ReplyDelete80gb is 12,000 and 120gb is 13,500. she had a sale a few months(???)ago the 80gb was just 11,500.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone who got new Zunes!! Woohoo. I hope the increasing demand for Zunes here will make someone decide to sell some accessories. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Roman! Just want to let you know that we've created a multiply site:
ReplyDeletehttp://zpilipinas.multiply.com
I know it's a bit biased cos not all have multiply accts but it's the only site I know that is user friendly to non-html pros like me haha. Hope we can move somewhere better :D Anyway, still working on getting more accessories! :)
