منشور محفوظ في Wayback Machine من رديت r/R36S بعنوان «Heads-up if you're in Egypt» يحذر المستخدمين المصريين من أن المتجر الوحيد الذي يبيع جهاز R36S في مصر هو Hardware Market، وأنه كان يبيع نسخًا مستنسخة (clones) من الجهاز رغم أنه متجر شرعي في غير ذلك. يذكر الكاتب أنه في طريقه لإرجاع الجهاز والطلب من متجر على AliExpress بدلًا منه.
«the only store that sells the R36S here is called hardware market, they're selling clones unfortunately (even though they're a legit store otherwise)»
