Strange Apple Store UAE Policy

2.8 Please note that you may not order more than one product of each product line per transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that you may order several Products in a single transaction as long as these Products don’t belong to the same Product line. For instance, you may order an iPod shuffle and an iPod touch, but you may not order 2 iPod touch. 

Why am I allowed to purchase one product from each line only? Answer: Grey Market & Reselling.

Apple Store UAE Sales Policies

Interesting. Really interesting move by Apple.

From what I can see on the Sales Policies it looks like Apple has cut out their regional distributor Arab Business Machines and is selling directly to consumers via Apple Sales International.

Shipment takes place directly from China and can take up to 10 days according to their 8000 number.

A little more digging in the Sales Policies reveals an address in Ireland. The auto attendant on the 8000 number sounds Irish - with no Arabic option - yet.

What does this mean for JadoPado.com? I have no idea at the moment.
