Yes. Every product costs its manufacturer's US list price (MSRP), the price shown on the official US store on the date of our last check. No markup, no crypto surcharge. Each product page links to the official price, checked on 30 October 2026, before US sales tax. For the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16, we sell the unlocked model; Apple charges $30 less only with US carrier activation. ### What is MSRP? MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price: the list price on the brand's official US store. We use it because anyone can check it. Read [what is MSRP?](https://msrpcrypto.com/what-is-msrp/) for details. ### Do your prices change? Yes, when the manufacturer changes its US list price. The price that applies is the one shown at checkout when you order. ### I live in the US. Should I buy here or from Apple? If you pay by card, buy from Apple: the price is the same, and the iPhone 17 costs $30 less with US carrier activation. Choose MSRP Crypto when you want to pay in crypto. According to MSRP Crypto's check of 14 major US stores on 30 October 2026, only Newegg accepts crypto at checkout. ### Which cryptocurrencies do you accept? Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). USDT is accepted on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). We do not accept cards, PayPal or Monero. ### Why must I send the exact amount? The last digits of the amount identify your order. We match your payment by that exact amount, then check it on the blockchain. Send it in one payment; the network fee comes on top. ### How long do I have to pay? 30 minutes. The checkout holds the amount for 30 minutes, with a timer, because crypto rates move. If the timer runs out before you pay, choose the coin again to get a new amount. ### How many confirmations do you wait for? Bitcoin 2, Litecoin 6, Solana 1, Ethereum and the Ethereum versions of USDT and USDC 12, and USDT on Tron 20. Until then, the tracking page shows **Payment being verified**. Pasting the transaction ID at checkout speeds up the check. ### What if I send the wrong amount or use the wrong network? Email support@msrpcrypto.com with your order reference and the transaction ID. A different amount cannot be matched by its digits, so it needs a manual check. A payment sent on another network can be lost. ### Do I need an ID or an account? No. No ID, no selfie, no account: only an email for order updates and a shipping address for the courier. Your order reference and 16-digit order access code replace an account login. ### What personal data do you keep? Your email, your name and shipping address, and a phone number if you give one. We share them only with the courier and our supplier to deliver your order, and we never sell them. Details are in our [privacy policy](https://msrpcrypto.com/privacy/). ### Where do you ship? To 233 countries and territories, all listed at checkout. Because of sanctions, we do not ship to Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, Syria, Yemen, mainland China or Western Sahara. See [shipping and duties](https://msrpcrypto.com/shipping/). ### Do I pay customs duties or import VAT? No. Import duties and VAT are included (DDP): the price you pay is the full price; nothing is collected at delivery. The courier collects nothing at your door. ### When will I get my tracking number? Once your device ships. We email it, and the [tracking page](https://msrpcrypto.com/track/) shows the carrier and the tracking number. We do not quote a delivery time before the parcel ships. ### How do pre-orders work? You order and pay like any other product. Pre-orders ship once the manufacturer releases the product (6 November 2026 for the October 2026 Apple launches). As of 30 October 2026, 5 products are pre-orders. They are the MacBook Pro 14" (M6), MacBook Pro 14" and 16" with PROLED XDR Display, iMac 24" (M6) and iPad mini (A20 Pro). ### Are the devices new and genuine? Yes. New and factory-sealed, with the manufacturer's warranty. We sell US models, sourced from a wholesale distributor. We are an independent store, not affiliated with Apple, Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. ### Is the manufacturer's warranty valid in my country? It depends on the device. Apple may limit iPhone and iPad warranty service to the country of original sale, the US; the US Mac warranty has no such clause. Nintendo applies the Switch 2 warranty only in its intended country of sale. Read [is Apple warranty valid worldwide?](https://msrpcrypto.com/is-apple-warranty-valid-worldwide/). ### Can I return a product? Yes, within 14 days, if it is unopened with the factory seal intact. Email support@msrpcrypto.com with your order reference to start a return. We refund in USDT or USDC. ### What if my device is faulty? Defects are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, not by our 14-day return. Contact the manufacturer's support with the serial number. Write to support@msrpcrypto.com if you need help. ### Will a US iPhone work in my country? Yes, if your carrier supports eSIM. US iPhone 17, 17e and 18 Pro models are eSIM only and take no physical SIM card. They are unlocked, so they work with any carrier that provides service for iPhone. See [does a US iPhone work abroad?](https://msrpcrypto.com/does-a-us-iphone-work-abroad/). ### Will a US Mac work with my power outlets? Yes. Apple lists 100 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz for the MacBook Air (M5). You need at most a plug adapter, not a transformer. Apple's World Travel Adapter Kit has 7 plugs that fit its power adapters. ### Are the PS5 and Switch 2 region-locked? Their games are not. Sony confirmed PS5 games are not region-locked, and Nintendo says Switch 2 game cards are not region-locked. Online stores and gift cards depend on your account's country. See [are PS5 and Switch 2 region-locked?](https://msrpcrypto.com/are-ps5-and-switch-2-region-locked/). ### Is it safe to buy electronics with crypto here? Before you pay, you can check the seller: ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware company. You can also check the price source on each product page, the return policy and the tracking. Crypto payments cannot be reversed, so pay only to the address shown at checkout. Read [is it safe to buy electronics with crypto?](https://msrpcrypto.com/is-it-safe-to-buy-electronics-with-crypto/). ### How do I follow my order from another device? Open the [tracking page](https://msrpcrypto.com/track/) and use **Follow an order from another device**. Enter your order reference (ORD- followed by 8 characters) and the 16-digit order access code. Both appear on the tracking page of the browser you ordered with. ### How can I contact you? Email support@msrpcrypto.com, with your order reference if you have one. The [contact page](https://msrpcrypto.com/contact/) lists what to include. ## Sources - [Buy iPhone 17](https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-17) — Apple Store US (read 30 October 2026) - [iOS warranty document (US), version 1.6](https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html) — Apple (in force since 19 January 2024, read 30 October 2026) - [Mac warranty document (US), version 1.6](https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/embedded-mac-warranty-us.html) — Apple (in force since 22 April 2022, read 30 October 2026) - [iPhone 17 Tech Specs](https://www.apple.com/iphone-17/specs/) — Apple (read 30 October 2026) - [iPhone 17e Tech Specs](https://www.apple.com/iphone-17e/specs/) — Apple (read 30 October 2026) - [iPhone 18 Pro Tech Specs](https://www.apple.com/iphone-18-pro/specs/) — Apple (read 30 October 2026) - [MacBook Air Tech Specs](https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/specs/) — Apple (read 30 October 2026) - [About the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102747) — Apple Support (27 May 2026, read 30 October 2026) - [PS5 games won't be region locked](https://gameinformer.com/2020/11/10/ps5-games-wont-be-region-locked) — Game Informer (10 November 2020) - [Nintendo Switch 2 Regional Compatibility FAQ](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68355) — Nintendo Support (read 30 October 2026) - [Accepted payment methods](https://kb.newegg.com/knowledge-base/accepted-payment-methods) — Newegg Knowledge Base (updated 21 August 2026, read 30 October 2026) **Still have a question?** Write to support@msrpcrypto.com.
