If in the official oneplus website is in your language, it should be available

Let's talk about buying the 1+5 in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-australian-discussion-t3624748
But to answer your question. No they won't officially sell to Australia. We will need to buy it from a 3rd party.

why dont you guys just order from one of the UK sites? or are you asking for someone that can get it from a company which only sells within UK for a bit cheaper?

Just ordered from Clove http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-16gb they accepted my US address perfectly fine. I believe Handtec accepts order from the US too. http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/4203/samsung-galaxy-s-ii--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-
Hope this helps

Have you tried Handtec, they deliver to Australia. ~AUS$700
sweet. Might pounce on one of these. A few questions first
1. Which site is more reliable? Has anyone ordered thru either?
2. How long does shipping usually take to the United states?
3. It says first units dispatched may 3rd? Does that mean if i place my order today it will ship that day? or will it be on backorder?

i'm from CA and i ordered from handtec. it was the cheapest out of all the sites i found. about 710 us.
Last time i check, about 2 days ago, they still had units left for preorder for shipping on the 3rd of may.
It takes 2-4 days to ship. Saw that on the website.
shipping cost about 14 pounds.
y don't you try this site: http://electroprise.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-ii-quadband-3g-hsdpa-gps-unlocked-p-2792.html
They are from: http://electroprise.com/contact_us.php
Got this from a post in gsmarena, sorry didn't know its a scam.
Im in CA too. Im just curious as to if there's a bunch of pre order before mine since they've been taking them forever that it wont even ship until later this month or something. Id need it by the 12th. You said yours was$ 710?

this store is a scam, there is a dedicated thread going for "buying in the USA" - use that one, has good info on imports and stores.

Why you asking so late? I can buy it for you and ship to you. How much you willing to pay me? (Email me is fine).
I preorderd from clove but it's possible they ship on may 6 !
I don't want to wait that long, I want to preorder another one from handtec.
It's my first time buying from them so I'm not sure handtec able to ship on may 3.
I can sell you the 2nd sealed s2 to you after I got it.
there's a fairly good discussion about clove and handtec here.. maybe it'll help you decide which to choose.

I've used Expansys a number of times both in the US and UK. They have online stores in numerous countries. They will have devices from the UK available in their US online store which you can buy in USD without paying VAT. They also have online support forums which I've found pretty useful in the past.

[Q] Buying in unsupported countries

Is there any way that we can buy the Nexus 4 if we're not in the US/UK/etc.? Would really love the ability to get one and have them ship to a forwarding address or something.
And I'd rather not get it from eBay or Amazon since there's the whole price mark-up thing. =(
Expansys and Negri Electronics ships internationally.

I want to buy Nexus 4 asap. Its available only on Google Play for now and only in supported countries, so cant use Expansys/Negri. How do I get notifications on pre-order dates since Google Play is not even cataloguing Nexus 4 in India? and is there a way I can pre-order sitting here in India?
yeah, And I believe that Expansys and Negri both will sell it for more than the Play store as well...
What about the warranty?
Is it international? If so, who pays the shipping costs in case the N4 needs to be sent to LG for repairing ?

Not a single **** for Europe

All you in U.S. and U.K. talking about preorders. What about Europe? Motorola support in Europe is crappy. And probably we will not see Nexus 6 before Januar 2015. Can someone tell me, when will be Nexus 6 in stores in Austria?
I can't wait anymore. I will buy Note 4 instead...

UK here, we're all in the same boat brother.
Run Motorola, run faster from Google to Lenovo. Lenovo will care about European buyers. But i cannot confirm, that Motorola will be so good as now.
Some norwegian stores are taking preorders. Dustin Home has the 64GB version with delivery status for 10th November and 32GB for 20th November (this date appeared today). Some other stores list just "November" too.
Proshop.no has them from listed for 1st November, but I contacted them and they said that this date is not confirmed.
And Price is 649 and 699€?
This is killing me, beacuse there you can buy Note 4 for 630€ for 32GB version.
http://www.gsmarena.com/nexus_6_might_have_been_delayed_in_europe-news-10081.php
**** you Motorola! Hope at least that price will be start with 569€.....
The majority of the people attempting to get one couldn't so don't feel so bad. Sat around all day and didn't even get the option to add to cart

The price in Norway is 810$ for 32GB and 857$ for 64GB.
So it´s about the same.

I will buy Note 4 in next two weeks, if there will be no info for Nexus 6 for Europe. **** this ****.
Is this **** available in Europe yet? Austria? I'm sooooooo pissed! I must have it.
I don't want preorder it on Amazon.de, because price is not 100%, or? 650€ for 64GB? When you think will be sending phones to costumers?

Buying Axon 7 from Alibaba.

I'm planning to buy Zte Axon 7 4Gb/64Gb from Alibaba. I live in India. Is it safe to buy it from that source? Will it support VoLte? Is there anybody from India who can share their experience. Please.
Hello, no problem at all. I buyed mine from BrotherGroup on Alibaba. The only thing for me it's maybe to consider to buy the 6/128 version ...
be careful, Alibaba has a lot of scam sellers that claim they are selling official, authentic products, but end up being counterfit or knockoffs when you get it.
I have had a very poor experience from them.
Research, ask around, and research some more the seller your going to buy from before doing so.

Yes Man, you can buy from Aliexpress(Alibaba). I have ordered mine and its awesome. You have to unlock bootloader and install A2017U Rom or Custom ROM, Plenty of tutorials already available in forums.
I ordered 4GB + 128GB for 370$

It is completely safe to buy from AliExpress. Despite what people say, there are plenty of decent sellers on AliExpress. I purchased my axon 7 from BROTHER GROUP, received it in 20 days and paid no custom.
If you order delivery through normal mail (the free option), there is little chance that the package will be checked by customs, however it might take up to a month or more for delivery.
if you choose DHL then the likelihood increases and you will have to pay customs but the delivery is in a week
I would suggest choose the normal mail. Customs can charge anywhere from Rs. 4000 to Rs. 10000
I bought 128gb A2017 from Ali express at Christmas. No problem. Just be aware that you'll need to update manually to b013. Then you'll receive your OTA updates.

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.

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.
