If you ' re going to try to buy something and have it shipped to you , I think it ' s pretty risky to do that with anything you find on CL . If you ' re looking on CL to do a local deal , face to face , why not just ask to meet at a retail location of whatever provider you ' re going to go with and have the ESN phone checked out before you buy it ? I did that with my S 5 , met the lady right in the store , looked the phone over a bit , then handed it to one of the store employees and asked them to check it to make sure it was good for activation and use on my account . <| sep |> DankUK is banned on dream . So if you did order from him you know it was likely not sent and can tick that pack off your list . I ' m sure I read that HBB has been having some delays , but don ' t know if they go that far back .
