I'll be getting this phone with in the next month, but I was curious what outlets you guys are aware of that are selling the phone.
I saw it on amazon 2 weeks ago for $900.00. Today its around $700, but I wanted to know if you guys knew of anywhere with even better deals.
It's a long shot I know, but I figure it is worth asking. Thanks
I would like to know this too. Seems the 'Hands Down Cheapest Place to Buy' thread is dead
Every day I scour XDA, Google, Ebay, etc looking for prices. I'm in Canada. With taxes,etc I think I'm looking at about $800 more or less (can anyone confirm that?). I think after Christmas I may go for this price but ideally I'm looking to pay about $700 more or less total. Then I'm worried about screen issues or a dead pixel which happened with the Nexus One I ordered from the States so I don't really want to ship it back overseas if this happens which it may judging by other threads...
So I'm looking for it to come down about another $100 but dont know if/when this will happen.
And ideally would like it to be released in Canada or even the US so I don't have to get it shipped which may lower that cost? But don't know if or when that will happen.
Then there is the fear that Samsung will discontinue it and I'll never get one or the prices will shoot up or something?

About $670 without VAT. From what I've seen in other threads, it doesn't apply if you're outside the EU. I think that might take the cake as the cheapest?

Also Amazon has a couple different sellers with the SGN in stock. Around low 700-750s. Most of these are in the US which would be better in case of a defect.

I ordered mine from HandTec when they had it listed briefly for £418.99 plus £14.99 shipping, for a total of £433.98, (which PayPal converted to $697.46), but HandTec has put the price back to £434.90 + shipping since I ordered. May still be the best price, however.
OTOH, Amazon now has a Prime 2-day shipping seller for $739. I'd pay the extra $40 or so bucks to have Amazon peace of mind if I had seen a price that good 4 days ago.

The new issue with handtec is that fedex will charge you 30 $ 1-2weeks after u get the phone
So because I'm in Canada I'm looking at around $800
But if I was in the US or UK I'd be looking at around $700

Hands Down Cheapest...
Well I still think Clove.co.uk is the best place to buy at this time simply because they're including a matching Samsung OEM Flip Case free! Also, being a commodity and having the price fluxuate by the hour (literally) keep checking MobileCityOnline.com too!
These two places at one point during the day can hit anywhere from $699 - $729 at the absolute lowest. But keep in mind Clove.co.uk INCLUDES the free Samsung OEM Flip Case. For some that's a deal maker plus most other outlets are selling this same flip case for $65 on average.
That is why if you catch Clove on the lower end of price fluxuation it's such a good deal. You won't go wrong choosing either one of these retailers that's the good news. The only possible bad news is at what price you'll end up paying for your Note.
Anyway you do it - your going to LOVE THIS PHABLET!
Abso - ****ing - lutly love it... quote me on that too.
Happy Hunting boys and girls.

I got the phone almost 3 weeks ago. I have not gotten this extra charge. I already paid $10 brokerage on delivery?

Charge $30 for what? FedEx hasn't charged me anything in the States for ordering from Handtec.
By far cheapest place to buy this phone is from India.
You get this phone for about US$ 615-620 range which includes official Samsung flip cover in the package.
If there is significant interest from people in states or UK, some of you guys can get in touch with some ebay.in sellers with good reputation and request him for shipping quote and get him to create a special thread for you guys.
Last time around with SGS2 couple of my mates from US requested a seller from ebay india this way and got him to create a private listing for them and got their SGS2.
Or if you guys trust someone from India around here in these forums, get him to purchase phones and paypal the funds to him.
Note is significantly cheaper here than anywhere else from what I have seen online.

Use code BFNOTE during checkout and the price of the black GNote drops from $794.99 to $694.99 with free shippiong to USA address.

that is a very expensive contract.
Especially taking into account the low amount of minutes and data you get.
Also paying £200 for the phone on top of the £720 is a big slap in the face...
return it and get a 'bigger' contract for less and also only pay a max. of £50 for handset

Great price for the Note from a dealer here in the US. Thanks!
Also don't forget to combine the 2% cashback for Expansys-USA through Fatwallet making it $681.

Darn! Can only select New Zealand or Australia for shipping.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the price to come down a bit as I'm willing to pay a bit over $700 here in Canada total with shipping, tax, etc. but not willing to pay a over $800!! Just seems like too much...
I had a dream last night I was using my GNote & loving it... maybe the universe is trying to tell me to just order the darn thing
Hey guys, I'm from Romania and would like to buy the Nexus 7 from somewhere in the US, an online store or something. Google Play hardware isn't available in my country yet but even if it was, I want the US version.
I've found it on Amazon, but the shipping fee is like $100 Just wondering if there are other alternatives.
Thanks!
I bought this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...60475906994?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item53ee09d3b2 . But you can always try and find a cheaper one, but this one has pretty fast shipping

Normally I'd do that, but the GBP is more expensive than the USD and I would end up paying more of my local currency if I bought it from UK. For instance, with 17 Pounds shipping from Handtec + the price of the tablet and everything is already above the Amazon US price + $100 shipping.
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.
Hi ppl, so Im from Israel and in israel new nexus 7 16gb costs like 1200-1300 ILS (400-425 Dollars) and some guy sells it for 850 ILS (210 Dollars)
He has it for 2 monthes alrdy, but says that it didn't fell down or doesn't have some scratches on it.
What are you saying everybody? Should i buy it?
I wouldn't. A new one in the USA is < $200 from the store (no shipping or sales tax). You can have somebody pick one up and mail it to you for way less than whatever prices you are looking at. The UPS flat-rate international shipping is about $13 for the box big enough for the nexus7 box. So then you just add in the $50 or so they'll charge you for import taxes and you're still well under that $450 and you have a brand new tablet.
Last time I did something like this for somebody in germany, they didn't even open the box at customs, and he didn't have to pay any impart taxes.

Hi,
Looks like you can preorder Nexus 6P in US, UK, Canada. I'm still seeing "Coming soon" in Play Store Finland, as well as in Germany&Netherlands when trying via VPN. Has there been any mention anywhere when the availability will be broadened?
Yeah the same is happening? Last night it was Pre-order now, and this morning I check to buy it and it says Coming Soon.

Considering 24% VAT in Finland for example and with average US sales tax of 9%:
Buy it in US: $499 * 1,09 = $544 = 506€
Order it from US to EU via MyUs.com: 464€ * 1,24 + 20€ (shipping estimate) = 595€
Order from UK to other EU country: 636€ + 20€ (assuming there's some mailbox service in UK) = 656€
Wait and order it from local shop : 649€ * million of having to wait = Unbearable
Considering that you need power adapter in many cases if you order it from abroad, all options suck. Not no mention if US phones work in EU. How is it nowadays?

I don't care..and nobody should. -same phone- should be the same price and not 50% more *after* USA taxes. The consumer shouldn't think about Google and VAT. We should only think about the final price and that one vs other prices around the globe(/USA). it's def a ripoff. What I will be doing though is just order and ship to a friend from the US that will bring it to me in a few weeks in hand. a week difference and no less then 150$ extra in your wallet..which is almost half of a new 5X!
Last time I did that(With the Nexus 5 and a Galaxy S4) I didn't have any issues with reception..if the carrier supports LTE then it will most likely run great in your country.
What really makes me angry is that if Google has official support for several countries outside of the US(and they don't support hundreds of countries officially in EU & Asia..only a few), then they should have the same pricing for them as the USA. Why do I need official support in the UK if it doesn't make the services cheaper? bah
Still waiting for preorder in Switzerland.. i'm getting pissed off waiting for so long now. They announced 26. October for Switzerland and as of now there is not any information about shipping available!
Devices seem to be shipping soon in Australia and India but no word on Europe ? WTF ?
On a German website is written that the 6P will be available by 9. November, marketing starts on 2. November.
I don't know how reliable that is but it's a well-known website here.
