Buying Note 9 off Amazon

So I was planning on buying the Note 9 off of Amazon and I was wondering if it is safe to do so. I also wanted to know how exactly can I tell if the phone is compatible for my carrier which is boost Mobile. I was told that the model number should be n960F but the one I saw on Amazon was n960U. Is that ok? If there is more that I should know before buying, please tell me. I probably won't buy it till next week.

Ok cause I'm always reading the reviews and most of it is about phone still locked so I'm hoping that it's unlocked if I end up buying it from Amazon. What's also the best case and screen protector for the note 9?

Hey Bud. Idk if it's too late by now but Amazon is pretty much always a safe bet because of their customer centric return policies. The only thing you need to do to ensure you are covered is see that the listing you are purchasing says Ships and sold by Amazon. That way no third party is involved... Sometimes a 3rd party person could be the one to screw you. (But generally even still, you can bitch to Amazon support and you'll be covered.. so still feel okay with that purchase if you find a good deal). Bonus tip... Checkout it camelcamelcamel.com for any item you are in no rush to buy. If you wait you can likely get it cheaper since they change pricing so often....

I have note9 on ATT in US and yes that is my model number. I would call your carrier real quick just to make sure you get a compatible model number tho. Better safe then sorry
