Zuk Z2/Z1 India order info needed
I am from Gurgaon(meh its gurugram now ) too and I want this device. Infact I wanted Zuk Z1 too but am not sure about added shipping and custom duties when ordered from their international site. Same situation till now for this device, hope somebody can provide more info about India bound orders.

Indians can't buy this phone without paying massive custom duties. Cost will be over 40k.

I placed an order from OppoMart and I am getting it reshipped through my brother in UAE. As per Zuk after contacting them on facebook, they say they have an exclusive plan for India in a "Couple of Months"

Now available for shipment to India at vickmall.com shipping via Singapore post.

If it gets inspected by customs you will have to pay import duties but every reseller I have used will put a reciept for a fraction of the price to reduce the tax.

[Q] Complete pricing of Nexus in the US and elsewhere

Hi there. I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't really find such a thread.
Coming back to the topic. I am thinking of getting Nexus 4 from US through my cousin who lives there. As I browsed the SHOP NOW page at Google play store, it showed the price $ 349.00 for 16 gb version. What I want to know is that:
- what will be the final price of the device including the TAXES & SHIPPING to Stanton, California?
- and as Google has mentioned a few countries where it will officially launch the device and people can order it online. Does it mean the actual product will ship from the US to (lets say) Australia? Which means the shipping will dramatically increase? Will it?
Would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on it.
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone please reply
I can't answer you about US taxes, but when I bought my Nexus 7 direct from Google play (I'm in UK) they were dispatched within the UK. Well from Northern Ireland, but it's still technically a part of the UK. The delivery charge was £10, which is typical here in the UK. I'm sure they are dispatched locally if they are purchased within the officially released countries, or it wouldn't really make logistical sense for every individual order to be dispatched from the US worldwide.
So, if Australia was an official country, it would be dispatched from there, or somewhere close enough.

Appreciated. Thank you very much for your response.
As Makaijin has said before, it's not shipped from the US all over the globe but rather the local distribution centres. For the U.K. it's from the U.K. but here in Australia, stuff gets shipped from Singapore (it was for the Nexus 7 at least). Thank God Australia's an official launch country .
Ahan, Any idea about the TAXES one has to pay? As in, how much (tax) would one pay for this phone in the US?
and what generally are shipping charges in the US?
Going off the Nexus 7 @ $250 I paid $283 out the door. I believe California has 7-8% sales tax so that should be around $28 in tax plus I recall 2 day shipping on the Nexus 7 was $12. I'd say your out the door would be right at or just over $400.

OnePlus One Discussion Thread For Pakistan Users

I found such threads created for other devices as well so I decided OnePlus One also needed one. Here, I hope to discuss about the pricing, availability and sellers.
I would add all the information in OP so everyone can read all the information we gather through discussion!
Right now, HomeShopping is the only seller selling OnePlus One in Pakistan. They currently require a 3 to 4 week shipping time which is totally understandable to the rarity of this phone.
Pricing:
OnePlus One 16GB White : 41990PKR Link
OnePlus One 64GB White: 74990PKR Link
OnePlus One 16GB Black: 59990PKR Link
OnePlus One 64GB Black: 74990PKR Link
I'm currently in UK and today ordered OPO. Hope to receive in next 1-2 weeks and then will be on the way to Pakistan for few months. can't wait for OPO,

Ullu bana rahay hein logon ko. Selling a $350 phone for PKR 75000, it's madness. If you even factor in all the shipping costs and customs/import duties, it's still outrageous to more than double the price of a single unit. Pakistani market is sick.

75K are almost 760 USD on today's exchange rate. That's madness.
Anyone wants to buy OPO 64GB then i would advice them to buy from Aliexpress and shipped to their address in Pakistan. It cost 490 USD including shipping charges and delivery with DHL within 4-8 days. saving of almost 280 USD which are 28K rupees.

Where does Aliexpress originally belong ? Is it a Pakistani business or is it American based, any idea ? Plus, do you have any experience dealing with them ? Any significant purchases ? Are they good enough to put your trust in them ? Are you sure the figure $490 includes our sick customs clearance as well ? I would want to be very sure of all these things before placing an order.

Aliexpress is chine site similar to ebay and 40% owned by Yahoo. Its perfectly safe site as long as you buy your stuff from verified sellers. I bought my OPO 64GB on 11th and delivered on 18th to UK and cost me around £280 or 480USD. including all the shipping and custom charges.
If you check thread on link then you will see lots of xda users from Europe and North America bought it from aliexpress including my self.

I bought my OPO from seller 2. You can contact them via contact now option and they will give you all the info you needed about charges and custom related.
One more then. In case you buy from one of these 2 sellers and chose DHL then DHL will pay the custom charges on your behalf and will deliver phone to your address. Then at point of delivery you have to pay custom charges to delivery guy. Not sure how much custom but should not be more then 2000Rs.

Thanks for the tips and all the info.
Yes, I have been reading on 1+1 and Aliexpress on an indian thread, a great many of them have ordered from and been recommending J&K Tech. They were referring to a shipping service names Arames or something through which they didn't incur any custom charges but the ones who choose DHL had to pay the duty. I don't know the logic behind all this but currently J&K team lists Singapore Post (free shipping to Pakistan) and DHL ($40) as their shipping services. With Singapore Post the delivery time is 15-59 days ! That's 2 months ! Can't say how much of a time do they actually take normally though.
And what about the invite system, any idea ? I read if you own the phone you can invite others to get one. Is it also valid for someone who purchased it from outside OPO such as yourself or only valid for the in house program ?
How is the CM11 on this phone by the way ? Have you managed to get the google apps installed yet ?
Let me know the overall experience. Is it worth ditching my note 3 for ?

Does anyone know if the OnePlus 4G LTE will work on the only LTE frequency Zong provides? The LTE bands the OPO supports are 1/3/4/7/17/38/40. Which of these bands corresponds to Zong's 10 MHz spectrum in 1.8 GHz frequency?

Brother I was about to order last week then after some research I found out.
For any phone purchase/import a Pakistani needs a NOC from PTA based upon the IMEI of the phone. For NOC you can apply from a GPO and 5-7 business days you will get NOC.
Issues possible
Getting IMEI of phone before actual purchase is impossible. No vendor will provide.
If we don't get NOC on time, after a fixed time period phone will be wasted(Used by children of Government officers)
Allmytech.com offering 64gb for 52k which is reasonable. I hope soon it's gets down to 45k.

I ditched Note 3 for OnePlus one. Got an invite from Indian community at OPO forums. When it came to ordering credit line was not cleared, so I.bought Z2.
Now selling Z2 at Olx to get OPO.
If you can get OnePlus one. Get it right away. All custom room devs are supporting and most of all FrancoKernel is there.

Waleed, I think we should wait a few more weeks or may be a month or so until the launch of note 4 in September. OPO will sure drop in price after that. I personally am not very tired of my note 3 and can certainly wait a couple more months to see how the market shapes up. If note 4 is not as good as I expect I will jump over for the OPO but I hope the price by that time would drop to around 38-40K PKR. Inshaallah. Let's see.

Note 4 can only be exciting if 64bit SOC and OS are introduced, other than that it will be a just highly priced phablet.

They don't deliver in Pakistan I'm sure. You'll have to get it delivered to some friend/relative in some other country and then finally figure out to get it here when they fly back. Kaam lamba hai but if you've someone in abroad who might be flying home soon, you've a pretty sweet deal at your hands.

Moto X Style New Zealand Availability

Hi there,
just wanna know if anyone here know when this phone will be available for New Zealand consumers. Also if i wish to buy early which online site is best for purchase this phone. Do you guyz think motorola will ship this phone to NZ, if I purchase this phone from their site after using Moto maker.
And lastly how much custom duty i expect (estimated) for purchasing online.
thanks for any help
Considering it doesnt look like yous get the option of buying directly through a New Zealand Motorola Online store I guess it will be atleast few weeks after world wide release which is set for September.
Custom duty ... first the actual price needs to be established and whatever country you actually purchase it from.
For example if you bought it from US ... Landed cost will be about NZ$820.
Thats based on US$400 phone and US$40 shipping.
All assumptions I know.
Sent from S3 via Tapatalk App.
Moto maker is not available for Australia or New Zealand. It will be sold in NZ and AU in set colours. You could check to see if you can use NZ Posts address in USA and get it shipped back to NZ. You will pay 15% gst upon arrival.
nah im not gonna import phone and pay extra... lets see what options we get for moto in NZ first. I'm still waiting for its reviews...
also i'm looking into LG G4, I am getting that one for 750 to 800 NZD... coming from iPhone 5 i'm worried if i'll get used to 5.7 inch Moto display. so lets see.

Where can buy Redmi Note 2?

Hi xda users:
This is for try to find the low price and best(short) delivery time..
anyone can give me suggestions?
I´m from Mexico
Here you go:
https://www.ibuygou.com/p-xiaomi-re...it-octa-core-22ghz-2gb-ram-32gb-rom-6992.html
ibuygou is very expensive, at least the 16gb model. I buy this phone on geekbuying, they give you a coupon for the first order, and it cost me with free shipping 149 euros-161 USD
How reliable are either of those sites? Looking at both for shipping to the UK...
This should help: http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-note-2-pro
Thanks, but I'm more interested in reviews of the various sites that sell it, and UK shipping. There's a lot of dodgy companies out there, after all.
@FloatingFatMan ibuygou is not a dodgy company. I have bought a Xiaomi Powerbank off them in the past, which was shipped from the Far East. They now offer EU Warehouse shipping for select items as well.
Also maybe of interest:
http://www.topresellerstore.co.uk/
http://xiaomishop.it/
http://www.honorbuy.com/
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1153179
I have also purchase from this reseller in the past:
http://beexz.com/
Service was excellent.
That's the kind of answer I was hoping for. Thanks for the information. I wasn't saying they were, but there are plenty out there that are. Caveat emptor and all that.
I would only recommend sites that I know are reputable
I'd suggest geekbuying. They are original and provide discount for new users (you will get the code when you register)
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiao...ore-MIUI-V7-3060mAh-13-0MP---Gray-351517.html
Gearbest is also seems ok. Used to purchase Xiaomi powerbanks there, pretty fast and smooth, came originals.
Then there's a coolicool used to purchase Gionee Elife E7 phone. Also pretty fast and smooth. But currently they have no Redmi Note 2.
Geekbuying is also s'pposed to be ok, since many tech reviewers link to it.
You can also try coupon code "retailmenot" for 5% discount. The code is from the site with the same name.

Is the Prime version (32 GB) available yet?
There is a shop in Hong Kong selling the 16GB white model on Ebay right now, with fast shipping. I ordered two for a great price, one for me and one for my brother or to sell. Will arrive in Australia by next week, which is good because I dropped my G2 today and cracked the screen. There are 4 left!
As for me, I prefer to buy from coolicool. Because it's low price and service.
Oppomart 159$
The prime version is $ 50 more. Shipping is $30 to the USA. Some of the other sites include free shipping. I know geekbuyer has free slow shipping but fast shipping is an extra $5.
I have heard that a number of people bought Oneplus One phones from Oppomart.
Some new deals have popped up, on an Australian forum I frequent. first is for 2ghz/16gb, second is for 2.2ghz/32gb:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, 4G Phone $212.57AUD ($152.99USD) with Coupon, Free Shipping @ JD
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/209020
Original Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime 2GB/32GB 5.5" Helio X10 Octa-Core 64Bit US$207.98 (~ AU $290) @nextbuying
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/209102
And another good deal here, RN2 PRIME 32GB/2.2Ghz with free Silicone case+Screen Protector (if you tick the box) for $205:
http://www.vickmall.com/original-xi...-helio-x10-octa-core-5-5-inch-fhd-13-0mp.html
I think you can buy this redmi phone from geekbuying,I bought the xiaomi note phone from this shop before,it's original and they had a good customer service.

Which online store to buy op5?

I am looking for op5 (from Canada). The price on banggood is $556CAD and on oneplus.net/ca is $650CAD + tax (which is 19% more even after 10% student discount) 6GB/64GB. Do you have any bad experience with banggood? How reliable the oneplus.net is? Any trouble to deal with the seller when your phone should have any problem?
Last question, how do you think huawei p10 plus? It is a much more expensive phone.
I wouldn't trust any other sellers than OnePlus themselves.
Oneplus themselves... You really wouldn't want a bad experience for a tiny bit more. at least that's my opinion
I agree. You usually get what you pay for when using obscure site that many don't know. I knwo you're in Canada, but in the US, unless it's a place like amazon, Swappa or Best Buy, I'm not to into buying phones unless direct from the OEM.
I saw some article about Gearbest selling the phone for $399 if you use a certain code.
Or you can buy it from the official OnePlus website and use a certain code from XDA to get a free OnePlus case. The case is about $30 normally.
The code can be found in some XDA article from last week.
bangood are fine. check its not the chinese version which may limit the bands and have no google play store. i suppose you can flash oxygen rom etc. also remember you will probably run the risk of paying custom tax.
Thanks all. It seems oneplus.net is a reliable place to shopping. Is there data for where people buying their op5? It could be interesting.
I bought mine from OnePlus. I know I overpaid being in Canada with our crappy dollar but I needed to switch to a dual sim phone and the OnePlus was the only dual sim phone I knew of that I was sure I'd be happy with so I was willing to switch from the s8 to the OnePlus 5 even though it was almost the same amount of money. The ordering process was nice and easy and the phone arrived to my door in Canada in less than a week by DHL. I got frequent status updates on the shipping. So far it's better than the s8 in some ways and a downgrade in others. Which is the "better" phone depends what you need or like better.
I would not worry, there is no dodgy copies of oneplus 5 around to my knowledge. Just make sure it has OOS on it ,but even if it comes with the Chinese software you can Flash OOS later. Only on hardware spec(except for memory and storage), Surely you have a one week return policy in Canada also. Android phones never brake until warranty period has expired
No problem here... just got my OP5 from banggood for 400 €... it is 100€ cheaper than oneplus
Buy from the OEM direct even if it costs a little more you have 0 problems with a return or whatever if you have an issue with the device
got mine from aliexpress took 9 days cost £370 6/64 global rom, but then again its a bit worrying ordering from china constantly checking tracking

Thanks mate ! be in the look up for it :highfive:
Ordered mine 128GB from Gearbest on Aug 31th, and the tracking website wrote today "Departure to country of destination". I don't understand if it's from China or from Europe (need to reach Italy)... let's hope !!

I agree with this 100%, i've had way better experiences purchasing direct from the manufacturer when it comes to repairs, warranties, etc. When I purchase from Best Buy or online resllers, the seller just tells me "Welp, you didn't purchase the 300$ warranty so..... You're SOL buddy! Good luck contacting the manufacturer!"
I purchased my Samsung Chromebook plus from Best Buy and regretted it. The chromebook had a hardware defect, I called Best Buy and brought it to the Best Buy store I bought it from and they said "WEll, sorry dude, you didn't buy the warranty.." Then I called Samsung and they told me "If you purchased it through us, we could just replace your chromebook , because you went through a reseller, we can only repair it"
I had to get it repaired twice for the same problem I regret not purchasing from Samsung direct, even if it had been a few bucks more.
