Hi Xiaomi Lovers
I am not sure this is a good idea to start a thread like this, (If this is breaking any XDA rules, I will take down this thread right away) I have a friend visiting me (UK/London) this week and I have already requested him to bring me a Xiaomi Mix 6GB version.
I thought maybe some of you would want to tag along, it shouldn't be a problem for him to buy more as phone shops in China seem to stock them well for selling at higher price . Of course, if you are looking to buy this phone at the original official price, then this is not for you. I too am paying a premium on top in order to get my hand on one at this stage.
Now, i should be able to get you a Mix 6GB version at £700 (pretty sure it's cheapest you can find), i assume most of you are going for the 6gb version if you are interested in 4gb, let me know.
I will have the phone in hand this week so no waiting for china to ship....etc. And I understand you may think this is a scam, check my XDA history, and I welcome people to purchase in cash and ideally we can do this in person, so you see the phone in box and so on.
If you have other suggestions, let me know, but please keep in mind, I am just doing it as a service for the lovely XDA community, if it's not safe for me, i would not do it, so I will be checking your XDA history and making sure you are 100% serious getting the phone.
I can also post it to other country and the risk of getting the custom charge is yours, hence this thread is maybe only useful for UK buyers.
Let me know what you think
Update: Consider this thread closed. My friend has already picked up the order and will be leaving China to UK this Friday. 9/12. He got me a pretty good price too so I am happy at least xD
Thanks for the proposal of service, but for your information it is sold at 630£ online (6gb/256 version), including shipping

where? if that's the price, my friend is charging me too much and i might just get it from your source. i do know some sites are claiming to sell at lower price, but they don't really ship out orders. I have tried a few of them already

those are exactly the 2 websites i tried to order mine, but they refuse to ship my order saying they are waiting for more stocks and if I want it right away, i need to pay premium. This was however about a week ago so maybe things are different now.
Anyway, if you can indeed get it from website, just ignore my post. I wasn't sure it's going to be useful or not when I posted it.

Thanks for reply.
Where do they ship from?
I leave in Europe and do not want to pay for TAX etc. How did u do?
Last time I ordered a phone from there I didn't pay any tax, can't be guaranteed you won't pay tax just luck.
That depends the country.
Iff you are in Portugal you can buy it with SF-Express method and pay extra 9.90 € and no aduane .. Chronopost will do the delivery to Portugal, from France or Deutch .
Just need to enter in Portuguese language on the website and you find that way.
Sorry for bad english guys
I ordered mine from Light in the Box; it was $799.00 - $40.00 coupon code. Looks like that price went up by a ridiculous amount, but I think it does fluctuate even there. Might be worth watching. Took about three days to ship it out, another five to arrive, and another five to get through customs. Total of around two weeks altogether. They were very responsive whenever I asked for status updates (in my excitement, I asked 4 or 5 times, and they always answered within a few hours.)

Going with the Portuguese version of Chinadroid it states that there is minimal chance of customs charges when using SF Express. I've contacted them to find out what this means, I really don't fancy adding €150 onto the price of the phone.
I noticed that some people are selling this device for reasonable prices now. Check out the Xiaomi Mi Mix 256 GB on eBay for $495 US
Beware of eBay scams - got a refund from PayPal due to non shipment.

I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro SE from this site not too long ago.
Overall,a good experience,but,if you have the option of upgrading to a faster shipping method, I recommend doing so.
Otherwise, expect to wait 2-3 weeks for final delivery.

i just checked clove.co.uk, it showing X1 in black is IN STOCK!
i preordered in silver, just emailed them if they can change color to black and ship my X1 today!
I got that e-mail too.. Really tempted after I cancelled my order
Anyone have FINAL confirmation of UMTS bands on the X1i?
850 3G on there????

This has already been asked over and over and over again. Look at some of the other threads where people got X1's already. For instance Sweden go the X1i earlier this month...
Any advantage with the black over the silver? Will the black have more of a chance to have paint chipping you think?
I almost bought one on eBay. In fact, I clicked to buy it now. They were selling $950 plus $10 shipping. They wouldn't ship the same day [ Friday ] and they won't ship overnight... they even had a 'make offer' option. Any way, I got the phone number and called him. He tells me he is a pilot and purchased a bunch in the UK [ I think he said that ] and said he paid $250 each .. Sounded like a crock - maybe I am wrong - but I have decided to wait for mine to ship. I think it will ship this coming Friday and the unit is silver. I decided on silver because I too didn't like the contrast of the keyboard against the black. Someone said it looked like 2 different phones stuck together .. I sort of agreed, and now I can't get that description out of my head .. BESIDES .. I am like a ferret .. I like shiny silver things !

It could be somewhat possible, I have friends working at airline companies and sometimes manage to get packages intercepted. I mean if he is a pilot he should be somewhat known. Also if there is a delivery going to whatever store via air parcel and it happened to get stolen and he is in on it he may get a cut for the shipment.
All I am saying there is a possibility, I have people who do it all the time.
phones can be signed through IMEI, not a big deal buy a stolen one

Time to throw a wench into your thought process. I was one definitely stickin go the silver but after thinking of the silver and how it looks closed. I was like if it was all silver in front with the buttons silver and not black I would have passed up the black. Now with the black the black is all good and well when it is closed but when it opens up it shows the silver keyboard. Now with that said I tend to use my xperia ...
1. majority of times closed, which is why a 1 toned color on the phone face is great + majority of my gadgets and gears are already black
2. i dont expect to be walking around with my xperia to be open to show off the silver on silver x1i.
With that said ... majority ruled for me also since it was readily available for me to ship.

I could get lots free if I was a criminal and robbed the phone shop...
If I was you, I'd change my friends.
My point was, I seriously doubt you can get an Xperia (legally) anywhere for $250; theonlynickleft's post seems to confirm this.
If it seems to good to be true...
What is wrong with you guys?

Why do you guys like to buy stolen goods? Its is not right to do so. Imagine the poor guy who is waiting for his X1 to be shipped to later find out it has been stolen and bought buy one of you guys. Do not encourage such practices. If you cannot afford to buy or wait, don't buy it.
I never said I bought anything from them, I like many people here have paid for the xperia with hard earned money. Now, if someone were to talk up to me in the street or post an ad on craigslist saying he is selling an xperia for half price and wants to know if I buy more. If they are real I will not lie, chances are I would have bought it from him knowing there is a high chance there was some crookery involved. But I wouldnt ask how he got it, if they are legit he gets my money.

You got me thinking .. and you made a really good point. Actually I Thought the keys were silver metal too. I don't like 2 toned anything actually [except my car which is 3 tone]

There is an expansys in the US and I tried to get it from there but they said they a long list to fulfill first. But they do overnight shipping ... but expansys UK have them in stock and do deliver to the us via DHL 2-3 day shipping (that is where I ordered mine from yesterday) and now its en route to the us. I should have mine by tomorrow or day after the latest. But it is up to you, I mean personally I wanted this phone more or less right away, and when I factored in the store that have it in the us plus waiting times I decided to order mine directly from the uk where i am guaranteed to get it friday latest
Trying to figure out the cost. I think it said 584 including VAT << what is VAT, shipping ?? And is that almost $1200 US ?

Guyz, very obvious that the release date will be late and please, read the asterisk for conditions applied: The release date can be changed without notification... So don't blame anyone... HTC only said they will release it by October, which means any date in Oct will still be within the time frame they set... isn't it?

I think you will find that they do not take any money until the phone has been despatched. The price is still not fixed! Thats how Handtec operate so im sure the rest are the same. In anycase, handtec stated first shipment due week commencing 4th October - which does not imply the 4th october.
From what i understand, HTC are shipping but to mobile phone networks first.

Its really not a big deal, it arrives when it arrives. Christ you sound like a child of 8 that has been told Christmas is cancelled. Cool your jets sparky its only a phone. Believe it or not you still be alive, its not going to kill you waiting a few days.
I've pre ordered mine form Amazon and they don't take any money until its shipped. If you have fallen for another retailers tricks then that's really your problem. Play.com are also listing the 11th (they also dont take the money until they ship).
As for your garbage about supplying in 14 days - they cant supply if they don't have the product. YES if you ordered a Desire and it didn't arrive then you may have a point has the product is on the market - the HD and the Z are PRE ORDERS!!!! I've use Amazon for years and i trust them - i ain't trusting no company that "Claims" they will have it early

Not me. Unlike you, I can read and through experience of living on the bleeding edge of gadgetry, I realise that release dates are never to be banked on.
Show me a link to an "official" HTC press statement claiming the HTC Desire HD would be released on October 6th. Or the 11th. Please - find me one. NOT a review/blog/ethusiast/seller website "claiming" it will be released on October 6th/11th. Show me the "HTC published link" that claims the phone will be released on October 6th.

Handtec took my money as well when I ordered it a week or two ago, however I'm unsure if that has something to do with it being an international order or not. Same has been said from other Australian customers on a different forum I'm on however.
I don't care...the exchange rates been good for us of later and it means I know what I'm paying rather than wondering or stressing about the exchange rate each day.

Don't envy us too much. To get this deal you usually have to camp out in the cold most of the night and wait in a huge line for tickets to be handed out (# tickets = # items in stock) and then hope you are close enough in line to get a ticket for the item you want. I used to work at Best Buy back when I was much younger and these "Black Friday" deal days were fricken insane. People dang near killing each other for a few bucks (and in some cases actually killing each other by trampling people to death, etc).
Personally I will probably never get a "door buster" deal because I value my time and health. Getting the flu and freezing my arse off for X hours in the cold just isn't worth it.
Price is right but I wouldn't bother if I'd be a meat popsickle AND they would be sold out by the time I got there, lol. I don't hit BestBuy with sales in mind so much as check the local stock before ordering somewhere online.

um, can you buy it now or within whatever the refund period is for best buy and then walk in on black friday and get a price adjustment or just return it and rebuy it?
250 bucks less than prime is awfully tempting but i'm still going to go with the prime.

Nope. Not unless they changed the rules. The price is only valid on the products in the store that are sold as this door buster promotion. (granted my knowledge comes from some 15 years ago)

I am always amazed at how much people sell and buy used stuff for, especially electronics. But really this is a pretty stellar sale and far from a normal price so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 300 for it.

Pfht no, you can easily sell it for $300. Most of the general population is not going to be able to get this thing for that price. They will have like 10 per store. This is not a "week long sale item."
$200 42" tv looks good.
But I agree with everyone else. I drove by a best buy a couple years ago on A MONDAY and there were already about 20 people camped out with tents and the whole deal. Yes a monday lol, so if 4 days is worth saving $150 then so be it. It os for some I guess but not for me.
Keyboard dock's going to be $99 as well.
The Transformer at Best Buy has a different model number made just for them to hit that $249 price point for black friday "TF101-X1". Its also a different sku than the regular 16GB model on their website. The regular model numbers are TF101-A1 "16GB" and TF101B1"32GB". There is no telling what they had Asus take out to hit that price, regular glass instead of Gorilla glass maybe who knows. And, they don't have to disclose that because in the instructions of just about every device it stipulates that features or functions are subject to change without prior notice. I'd be a little leery on this one.

I doubt there's actually any difference. It wouldn't make sense to produce a different model for this, especially when there's a new model coming out soon. What retailers sometimes do is have the model numbers for their Black Friday deals tweaked to make it hard to go elsewhere and price match, or to ask for a price match on prior purchases. It's *possible* there could be actual differences, but I would be surprised.
I just asked my dad who works at bestbuy n he said basically what the guy said above me. Now if u saw this at wally as a everyday low price then you know things would be changed or taken out.

I bought my TF101 in Germany while I was traveling around europe, I was shocked when I saw the price, it's really hefty overpriced if compared to USA.
I can't wait until the prime comes out so I can sell this lovely piece of machinery. My question is... I am moving to S. Korea in February should I wonder if it will be cheaper in taiwan, I could just take a day trip there!
I am currently in the market to buy an Android tablet, and of course, this deal caught my attention the second I saw it.
I'm just having two issues making my mind up whether I should buy it or not:
- As we all now, the Prime is coming out sometime in December. I'm just wondering if the TF101 will feel old/slow compared to the newer Tegra 3 devices. Basically, I feel like I'm jumping on ship and everyone else is moving on to the next thing while me and my TF101 are getting left behind.
- The no built in 3G data is a huge deal for me, I would like to have everything sync on it while I'm on the go plus use it to stream music/video while out. Tethering using my phone is an option, but I feel like it would be to much of a drain to constantly be using it. I guess I could use a 3G USB stick, as that seems as the only other solution, do I need the dock to use the 3G stick?
Anyways, also curious to hear other people's opinions who are interested in this great deal.

i'm in the same boat you are. but this price is too good to pass up $250 + $99 for the dock. i'm going to try to just get the TF1 from best buy (unless its all sold out (which is very likely)) then resell the tablet for $325 - $350 and the dock for $50 - $75 and then use that $ to get the transformer prime.
Anybody know how to claim the offer from 3 when you have bought the G3? I didn't get any info when my phone was delivered today.

I believe the 8th is when the global services for the watch are opened so owning one before then won't get you very far anyway.

i went into three this morning and the guy there was adamant that I had to have pre ordered the watch at the same time I pre ordered the G3...
He wasn't going to budge, so i walked.

This was the Cannon Street store, and I have also had the same reply from the Holborn store. Canterbury say they will do it, but I can't get there for another week or so.
I phoned 3 myself and they were useless, because I upgraded in store, they tell me they are unable to provide any clarification.

This "promotion" is a joke. I mean, at NO point when i was upgrading did they say that I had to pre-order both at the same time.
Did you have to pay any fee for the remainder of your contract?
This is from the Three website:
"Only £99 When Bought with LG G3*
*Once you’ve purchased the LG G3, visit one of our stores within 21 days to get the LG G Watch for only £99, which is usually £169 when purchased on its own. You must provide proof of purchase via your dispatch note/receipt with mobile number and ID.
The LG G Watch is available in store from the 8th July, but you can secure yours on pre order from 26th June in store."
It seems pretty clear to me, but apparently I am reading this wrong.

My contract is only 7 days old! They just said return the phone then.
So I then rang again to the online team and they confirmed and apologized that the other staff haven't got a clue what they are talking about. She told me to go in-store from the with with my receipt to claim my watch

Ive had this problem went in this morning and refused to accept that this offer exists at all which was rather annoying tbh so i told them to ram it ill buy one online.
They also said that this offer was onky for pre orders and that everyone should of known about it at no point has 3 in my town ever advertised this offer or mentioned it when i got my phone ended up having a huge argument with the store manager telling him is useless and a joke then i showed him my tweets from here that i posted between my self and Brendan and he still refused to acknowledge the offer so i gave up.

I just spoke with "Sharon" at three on the phone. She confirmed that the watch should have been pre-ordered at the time i got the phone.
But, she has applied the £70 difference to my account so i can buy the phone at the full price and be no worse off.
My advice, speak with three, tell them whats happened and they should sort it out.
Good luck, took me a 30 minute phone call to get the resolution i deserved!

Thanks and Regards,
Buy it from aliexpress or pandawill.

Meizusale.com is not fake! OP had me extremely worried, as I could not get any response from their web site or tracking either. I pre-ordered MX5 on July 3rd. My phone arrived yesterday even though they said on order that it would ship first week of August. Now I will be busy with new phone!

Hi,
Was this actually purchased from Meizusale.com? I have recently purchased an MX5 from them, wasn't able to get a response from them for a week, only today, have successfully contacted them, saying that it is stuck in China customs due to it being National day golden week holiday which is true and will take another 10 - 13 days for me to be able to track my order as it needs to reach the Netherlands. How long did your phone take?
Kind regards
@AmaiKitsune: what happened with your order? I ordered one myself and am concerned about it now. luckily I paid with paypal so I should have no problems.

Hi,
My order came in and is in no way a fake site, the order did take a while but it got here so don't worry about it being fake. Especially as you paid with Paypal you should have no problems.
Thank you very much for the swift response! It is indeed very difficult to filter out the truth from all the information on the internet. This is why statements such as yours especially in this site are quite valuable.

That's no problem at all! It is difficult. I got very worried when I emailed them, never got a response and their 24/7 customer support was hardly ever on and decided to look it up, with a lot claiming it was fake. As stated, I have received it and it's one of the best phones I've had and well worth the money!
hii I just ordered a mx4 pro through meizusale.com and after reading these posts im a little concerned .I would like to know how long it took for the phone to arrive? and did the tracking numbers work and also the condition and the quality of the handset..Thanks in advance ! @AmaiKitsune

Hi, there's nothing to be worried about. The phone took about 3 - 4 weeks and once the package reaches the netherlands from there it can be tracked but that in it's self can take a week or 2 to get to the netherlands. The quality and condition are exactly as you'd get in a store, new condition. Meizusale.com communication isn't too fantastic which is what worried me, but the phone did arrive and is well worth the money!

oh thank you ! You certainly did make me feel better ! I opted for the free shipping option guess u did the same? 3-4 weeks is fine as long as it gets here !hopefully the tracking would work in a week then ...Im ordering from Australia so i guess it would take around the same time .Good to hear its all brand new .True they suck at communications ! but its a great deal ! anxiously waiting for mine ^_^ .Thanks for the quick reply !! hope you are enjoying your new phone ! @AmaiKitsune
I will order an LG G pro 2 tomorrow from them tomorrow
it is cheaper than mobyshop.com.sg by 150 $ approximately
Seems to be that, the only FAKE thing is actually OP's opinion....
Probably a troll working for the competition?
@AmaiKitsune thanks for all these replies, I was worried about my MX4 order but now I'm not ^_^ can't wait to finally have a good quality Android device instead of cheap entry level devices
Hey I just realized I didnt share my experience with my purchase. Well the phone did arrive and it was exactly as advertised. Took some time definitely as I too opted for the free shipping and it eventually got held at customs but other than that the seller is OK. Certainly dont expect swift responses from them, but they deliver.
As far as the Meizu MX5 itself is concerned, I guess I was one of the unlucky ones who got a buggy phone, as after the 2nd month of usage it started randomly to shutdown once the battery drops below 50%... and nothing seems to fix it (restoring, flashing different firmware etc)
So do have this in mind when purchasing

Hey Akio, did your Phone arrived?
I ordered a phone too, 20 days and nothing, no order, no email confirming purchase, just a tracking number with zero info on the said package. I just checked, tracking number still offline or with no info.
Bad store
The very bad store they send broken phones, and then you need to send this phones for warranty and paid for fixing and shipping. Terrible service.
Bad service!
They lost my phone I am lost 200$ and never get them back. RS745905500NL
