ZTE Axon 7 availability - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I am looking into ordering the ZTE Axon 7. On the ZTEUSA website they state that new orders will be shipped at the beginning of november which is very far away. Some other webshops like Newagg still seem to sell them. Is there any advantage waiting 3 weeks and buying it from ZTE directly? Or is Newagg just fine? Or any other webstores with quick shipping?

Try BestBuy. Also use the store locator to find out if they have one in stock in your preferred color. You could then always call the store and have it shipped to one in your area.
Off course there are some areas that do not have many BestBuy stores. Anyway, give it a shot.

I came from a Nexus 5 so the jump to this phone was huge for me (metaphorically and literally). I love everything about it EXCEPT for the software. I miss having stock android and I wish A7 had capacitive buttons. I will admit that my A7 DOES stutter more than my N5 in some cases like opening notifications, opening the app drawer, scrolling (at times). I installed a 200gb micro sd card immediately upon getting it and it's been awesome to have 249 gb of storage at my disposal. Overall I'm still very happy with my decision and I hope this phone will last me for the next 3 years (like my N5 did for me). It makes me feel sad though knowing that they'll probably stop updating this phone after the hype dies down and new products get released so I really hope this phone develops a very active modding community.

One advantage of ordering directly from ZTE is they give you a 30 day return window with no restocking fees. The same can not be said for Newegg, B&H, or Best Buy.

Jet.com
Use coupon code shop10 for an additional 50 off. I believe the code only works on new accounts. No tax in cali, not sure about elsehwere.

Don't know what the guy talking about stutter is on about. Had a HTC One M8 then a Nexus 6. This phone blows them both away. Seen 0 lag, and I always use smart power mode.

The following quote is from the ZTEUSA Passport 2.0 info page: "The 30 Day return policy applies only to phones purchased directly from zteusa.com. Proof or confirmation of direct purchase required. Phones purchased from other sources are subject to the return policies of the retail seller. Retailer return policies may vary".
If you click on the "Warranty & Returns" tab on the Newegg Axon 7 page, it states this item is non refundable and can only be exchanged for the same item.

Well why does the passport 2 card say they accept returns from partner retailers?

Gnote on amazon USA!

Might as well buy from ebay. Same thing! Amazon sux for anything unless its sold and shipped by amazon
thats not really sold by amazon though, thats just being sold through amazon
Your right. I didnt notice they were private sellers...
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
Hello folks!
Is there anything wrong in getting it from Amazon - US, even if its private seller?
I was thinking of ordering it from Amazon for two reasons:
1. Using Amazon's 12 month interest free finance option
2. At least initial return (within 7 days) would be easy, IF something is wrong with the device?
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
I have been watching amazon resellers and considering them. Most of them are on ebay too. But see my other thread--for a 790 price expansys usa has the device in stock and they have a better return policy--that I would trust more IMHO.

Yes, i did your post about them. I guess I should order it from Expansys-US. Just wanted to take advantage of without interest 12 month payout from Amazon.
Thank you again!
Just ordered mine through another seller (Techno.Trading.House) on amazon for 770+8 for expedited shipping and i used my store card for the 12 month financing.

Hey,
Do you know if they have EU version or any other? I've sent them an email, I've not received any replies yet.
Thanks

After multiple delays they canceled my order so I just went and got it from newegg. Since it came from Jersey to Maryland I got it the next day. Loving it so far.
Got mine at eBay from networkgurus for $749, it just dropped to $729. It ships from Georgia. The seller was very prompt with his emails. Ordered yesterday and got it today B)

Where to order from? (USA)

So after seeing nothing interesting in the AT&T announcement, I placed my order yesterday with Handtec.co.uk. Even though it was showing in stock, I got an email stating that it ran out of stock just as they were fulfilling my order.
I have Amazon Prime but they are showing 1-2 months shipping time. I'm trying to decide between waiting or paying a premium.
Any suggested reputable sites? I'm in Houston, TX if that matters.

I'd just wait for Amazon if I were you. No risk involved.

I was under the impression that Amazon will not help at all with warranty service if anything goes wrong with the phone (as opposed to Handtec or expansys who can help you with the service if you mail it back to them). Am I mistaken?
Got mine for $649 and free shipping end of November but don't know what it is now since I haven't been on the site. I had it overnighted and no issues at all
Ill look up the site if interested just let me know
From the Best : Galaxy Note

If the GNote is fullfilled by Amazon, which mine from Global Mobiles is, the regular Amazon return policy is in effect. Might not help with warranty issues but you could return it if not to your satisfaction. I then bought aftermarket insurance for lost or damaged phone.
while they are not a US warranty - many still have warranties, including the Amazon sellers. Many selling from Hong Kong or UK , so you have to ship back there but are warrantied by authorized Samsung in that country. On ebay many reputable sellers have their own 1 yr warranty. Or on ebay most have squaredeals warranty for $89 ( on defects for 2 years) in the pulldown. Or through the squaredeals sits you can get a more expensive defects and accidents warranty ( w a $99 deductable).

For whatever reason, even Newegg has decided to stop selling the Galaxy Note. I get the feeling that even Amazon's shipment of 1-2 months won't be restocked.
It's like all of the affordable US sellers decided to stop importing the Note. I have a 100 GC with Amazon ....argh.
Thankfully I got mine from Amazon (Global Mobiles) a few weeks ago for $553.99 shipped overnight (had a $100 gift card). Best decision ever.

Nah. I can wait. No point rushing to purchase an item when I know it has no 3G support on T-Mobile. Patience is always a virtue. =)
Better phones will come along. Thanks for letting me know though, I appreciate that. At least I know these 100 GC won't go to waste.
Cheers.
I see several sellers with the Note in stock at Amazon at 730.00 with shipping of a little over 5 bucks. Handtec is selling for £485.99 which converts to 751.53 US and that would be just for the Note.
So unless I'm missing something, get one from one of the sellers at Amazon who say they have it in stock.

Why? Return is sketchy. And it was just up till a week or two ago, there were a few sellers who were fulfilled by amazon going for 649.99.

Maybe I'm confused but I ordered the Note yesterday from Newegg for $699.99 and they threw in a Samsung Bluetooth headset. There were a few shops cheaper but I did not want to worry about returns or customer service for $30.
Maybe I got the last one?
David
But Newegg no return for Cellphone, that why I rather deal with Amazon.

Ordered from Amazon on Jan 9. Sold by IMG Direct Fulfilled by Amazon. $689 with $100 GC with overnight shipping from KY to GA (they drove).
Love it. I am on day 2.
Newegg also offers a protection plan on the note for an additional fee if you purchase through them. It shows up below it on the page for the note and you just add it at time of purchase.
Expansys USA In stock tomorrow (Thursday). Call them instead of online.
Safeware 2 or 3 year warranty with or without accident and/or theft.

PSA for people looking to import

Update for guys looking to buy from Taiwan. Don't buy from 23port. He doesn't have the phones available, he takes your money and then waits for Asus to get them in stock. This is the email response I got from him about my purchase
"We have received your payment on Mar. 28, and we will check the available time with Taiwan ASUS and update you soon, and we will provide tracking number after shipment. Please kindly note. Have a nice day."
I contacted eBay after that and they are taking action against his listing since in their words "he is luring people in to buying an item he doesn't have, without stating it's a preorder and that he doesn't actually have the item".
Just wanted to give a heads up since I'm now at the mercy of either getting a refund from the seller or waiting until the 7th for buyer protection to kick in.
You might want to ask sellers if they actually have the item in stock, it's not guaranteed that they will answer truthfully, but these guys are taking people's money and sitting on it until Asus Taiwan has stock available. Who knows how long that could be in all honesty.

I ordered from him Thursday and my phone arrived Today. There were two listings. One preorder, the other one showed availability. Not saying this wasn't your case but I had a totally different experience with him
^^
Same here I ordered and got mine in 2 days, FedEx express
Well I ordered the 4GB with 32GB storage for 350 plus 25 fedex shipping. Ordered it Friday morning my time, asked him today about the status and that's when he said he had to contact Asus about the availability and would let me know. None of the ads I've seen by him have said anything about preorder. Maybe when you ordered he had supply but now he doesn't. If he had supply he would have shipped my phone already and wouldn't have said he needs to contact Asus and that he'll update me.

I didn't think you were but some people might. I was hoping I'd have it within two days like every one else but that's not the case I guess. I can't wait weeks to get a phone unfortunately. I'm thinking that some of the other sellers don't have supply either, that's why they're putting the delivery date so far out. They're hoping people will buy expecting delivery in mid April and that gives them enough time to wait for more stock from Asus.

There are some sellers with the delivery date as Apr. 10th-Apr. 21st. Which gives plenty of time for them to wait on new stock while you're waiting for the end of April to get it.

That really sucks. I will tell u this: phone is solid. Only disappointment is the battery cover. Feels like cheap plastic simulating a metal brush finish. Looks like it may break when prying apart to insert sim card and SD. Really glad I got a case for it.

I have another warning: Don't buy from OE USA (advertising on Amazon) either. They're selling an entry level ZE500CL as ZE551ML as they specified the phone. Luckily Amazon has good customer protection but you may face a lot of troubles buying totally false phone.

By the way what is g19800720?
I guess I learned my lesson well. I'm returning cheap entry level phone which was sold on Amazon as a ZE551ML. At least partially you can blame all mess on Asus, which would never provided clear specs of variety of models around.
Now I'm quite positive that currently you can't buy any other ZE551ML than Taiwanese. And right now Asus has in production European (ww) model which will be on the market in France and Italy at the end of this month (on the web as well). And maybe Chinese model will be selling at the same time too.
Later, probably at the end of May after announcement in the event in New York the US model is coming to the market. And that's pretty all.

Gearbest discount for Redmi Note 2 Prime [178.99USD]

To those on the verge of purchasing,
Just got an email showing the Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB) being on sale for the next few days.
Oddly enough, the black version is $10 cheaper than the white one: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229218.html?vip=56770
I've been waiting for a special offer to pop up before I bite the bullet and buy it, this may very well be it!
P.S. Not sure what the policy is on referrals, but I like to be direct, so using that link will only help me get a discount on the phone itself, it doesn't seem to award any commission.
But also remember, you will never know if what you are ordering is in stock or not. Until nothing arrives at your address. Be warned before using Gearbest.com
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!
I also suggest to stay away from gearbest.... I cancelled my order because it appeared as "processing" for too many days.
They answered my tickets with delay and always with generic apologies but never gave me a real dispatch date. As I heard there are many people waiting for their redmi note 2 I assume they just don't have enough pieces in stock (despite they show all the phones as available).
I still have another order made on 09/27 yet "processing".
I didn't cancel it only because those are 20$ of accessories for my xiaomi yi and in this case I don't care to wait too long, but still this tells me how efficient they aren't with their business.
I'm still waiting for my redmi note 2 from gearbest.com I ordered on 30th September. How long after cancellation did you receive refund? As of now they don't seem to want to answer my ticket!
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
08OCT I asked to cancel the order and be refunded
09OCT They replied asking me if I would prefer to be refunded or get a GB credit
09OCT I say I want the amount to be refunded into my Paypal account
12OCT They confirmed the order was cancelled and refund processed (they said to wait 3-5 working days)
12OCT Got notification from Paypal about refund
12OCT Refund available into my paypal account
Before coming to the forums and reading this, I ordered one from this site (though it was before the sale). So far it has been smooth, as yesterday it shipped. Hoping now that there's a phone somewhere in that package...
I've ordered a Redmi Note 2 16 GB from Gearbest. Took them about a week to dispatch my phone and another week to get it(used a faster cargo choice).
The only issue i have with the phone is bloatware which everyone seems to be having but other than that the phone is stable and fast.
Just buy the TDD version to get a discount
Geekbuying has it on sale too, only for 10 days
Geek buying
I just ordered the 32 gig version from geek buying hopefully their better than gear best! Does anybody know if it works on T-Mobile/Metro PCS?
Thumbs up experience with everbuying.net for me.
The problem with gearbest and many other sites that never have real stock and needs the money from the orders to buy the phones. In some cases the phones are out of stock from the manufacturer and they have to wait. I made the order for the prime the 19st of september and ships the 4th of october.

Hotmid.com is another good alternative, delivered a bloat free phone to Sweden in 8 days standard shipping.
Picked 16 GB chinese version with microSD for 110 USD today, NOT from gearbest.

Oneplus 5T [AUSTRALIAN DISCUSSION]

It looks like OnePlus isn't selling their new flagship through the OnePlus website directly to aus. So again we will need to look elsewhere to buy it.
So where will you be buying ur phone?
Also share u thoughts and experiences with getting the phone down under.
500 USD to Aud is 660
550 USD to Aud is 730
I'll be looking to buy this phone.
I've heard Australia post ships from the us and also other 3rd party shipping addresses in the US that ship to au. Which is your favourite and most reliable?
Can't you just buy through Amazon? That's how I bought my OP3. They ship to Australia right?
Amazon are supposedly going to officially launch in the coming weeks. Hopefully we can get it from there.
Otherwise what are the main grey import sorted?
Gearbest
Banggood
Geekbuying
Eglobal
eBay (when they have the 10%-20% off sales)

I don't think we can right now. No place is selling it. Maybe due to the fact that it's sold out worldwide

I need same information if anyone know I order 5t via AliExpress and I choose DHL shipping the phone is below 1000$ au my question is do I need to pay same customs tax because I read that no customs tax if the goods are below 1000$

I don't know. I'm thinking of buying it from OnePlus and using boaderlinx to ship it here. I don't know if there is tax involved
I have been using LG 6 currently but now its time to change my mind and I'm thinking of buying OnePlus, I'm not sure tax may be involved or not.
I search about customs tax and I find out if the product is below 1000$ au arrived in Australia via air mail or different postage there is no tax,but if you order came with DHL or Fedex definitely will pay tax because with DHL or FedEx limit is 250$au.

Mines taking a while to ship. Apparently there's an issue with the courier. For me it could be an extra week
Hi guys. I'm thinking of getting a 5T in the next couple of months. Just wondering what ppl are using in relation to the wall adapter to keep dash charge? Just a travel adapter or something else? Cheers.

I'll be getting mine in next couple weeks. Sonill report back again. My mate has a 3t. He just uses a standard adpater from Officeworks etc to get dash charging and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the reply.
So basically any usb wall adapter may work? I've got Samsung, iPhone and a belkin one kicking around at home now. I thought it might've had to have been specific wattage or something like Samsung have for quick charge.
