Anyone manage to avoid UK import tax?

Has anyone managed to get away with UK Import tax on the Nexus One?
If you haven't got your tax bill, when did you order your phone?

I got mine on 13th...picked up from DHL depot myself with 3 identical white paper slips in pouch and haven't received any VAT bill yet. You?

Got mine four weeks after the phone was delivered.

Got mine on the 8th Feb. Not got tax yet.
Curious if DHL do open all packages or does some slip through customs.

Been reading threads on other boards about this and what appears to happen is Customs opened them, DHL pays the VAT so you can get the item, and then you are billed for the VAT on DHL's behalf and are required to pay it.
Consensus seems to show that it takes 3-4 weeks (maybe more) to get your VAT bill, but it will happen.

i got my nexus one 6 days after it came out. still no vat
now that ive said this though...mayb ill get a letter on monday lol. but for now, i have nearly doubled the '3-4weeks' timeline.

I thought most people were getting a separate invoice *after* delivery of the phone, but when I ordered I had tracked the parcel to East Midlands Airport, then wondered why it didn't go out on a van for delivery ... I found out when I received a phone call (from a company called Sutherlands rather than DHL themselves) asking for the VAT payment upfront, then they'd arrange delivery next day ... I paid but mentioned I was a bit annoyed they had done it that way round, they said collection was not possible.
I phoned DHL direct and asked if I could collect it, they said Sutherlands generally didn't send through payment confirmation for several hours and they wouldn't release it until they had, I gave them the payment reference for them to chase up.
As it happened I was travelling past East Midlands Airport anyway, so I popped in, explained and they they were fairly decent about it, checked the parcel number, and payment number and fetched my N1 from round the back.
£65.03 for an N1 + UK charger + desktop dock

I phoned DHL while my parcel was still over in the US and the customer service section already know that I would have to pay £60 VAT on it before it had even arrived in the UK. I can only assume then that google must make a declaration as to the value of the goods before they ship

Bought on 18th Feb, received a bill for £58 this morning.

No But it did take 4 weeks to come.

nope ! got it off ebay

There were too many reports of phones breaking for me to consider buying from some yank on eBay. Plus i get to choose the engraving on the back =D

got it off uk ebayer with google receipt so no worries !

ordered mine on 6th Jan, delivered on 8th Jan - still no vat bill. I was expecting one, I thought maybe month end or something, but I'm starting to think that dhl might have stuffed up - if it doesn't arrive in the next week or so, I might have got away with it.....................

I got the VAT invoice, didn't pay it. DHL called me, said id not paid it I said they didn't invoice me. Guy sent a copy to my email. I've still not paid it.
I got the phone on 10th Jan.

You aren't a hero you know. This is simply VAT. Every (non-basic) product sold in this country is subject to it and anything imported is also subject to it. By not paying you are evading tax. That, my friend, is a serious crime and you aren't gonna somehow convince them to just 'let you off'
Just pay it now and save yourself a lot of bother/further expense later.

also - they just treat vat invoices like any other - if it is not paid, then it goes to a debt recovery agent and you end up paying more

Nexus One shipped to the UK.

Has anyone on this forum had a nexus one sent to the UK? I am very interested in buying one. How much did it cost with and without the optional UK charger. I am getting it sent tot he north east. Also how long did it take? Also if anyone on this forum came from an iPhone 3GS how did the battery life compare?

Ordered ~ 3pm on Wednesday, it arrived at ~ 9am Friday morning. Ordered early-mid Feb ~ 10th iirc.
374 was charged to credit card (didn't get the UK charger) but yet to have a form through for import from DHL.
Wouldn't bother with the extra charger tbh, they can be picked up cheap enough in the UK.

As above. Mine cost me £373 (phone inc delivery) and my bank charged me £10 for the conversion - total: £383. I ordered it around teatime last Wednesday and it was delivered this Monday. Not got the vat bill in yet.
Didn't get the charger as it was $19.99 + uk vat. I got one for the HD2, from amazon, at £4.95 with free delivery.

Mine (without rip off charger) cost £412 including taxes.
Ordered on a Tuesday eve, received on the Friday.

Yep ordered on a Sunday night, delivered to my work address (about 1.5 hours north of London) Weds lunchtime, cost £384.81 with charger, no tax bill yet.
Battery life compares well with iPhone 3G, Magic, G1, better than Palm Pre with 1400 extended battery. I am planning on getting the dock when it comes to UK stockists for when I'm deskbound at work (I listen to music most of the day), but I've always done so regardless of phone.
Works well on O2 too.

Mine also came at around £410 including VAT. DHL will charge you separately for the VAT, but the bill won't arrive until about a month later. You might get lucky and DHL might not send you the bill, but I'd set aside the money as it seems the very first UK buyers at release were mainly the ones that got away with the VAT.
Even with the VAT inclusive, totalling £410 it's still alot cheaper than buying from expansys.com which is going for £599 as of today with 7 in stock according to the website.
Edit: You could wait another month and get it on contract with Vodafone if you don't want to pay for it unsubsidied. Or preorder the Desire instead on expansys for £439

ordered mine on a Sunday evening, the phone arrived the following Friday morning as it was slightly delayed at customs.
At the time I paid $577 which worked out to be £386 for the phone including UK charger and delivery charge.
I finally recieved the VAT bill this morning quoted at £60.17.
So all in all toatal costs = £446.17

Lol, YMMV...
I ordered two from the US, first never shipped, PayPal refund (direct from seller) after 11 days. Ordered second (different seller) and an empty box arrived three weeks later (express shipping). I believe it was stolen at customs. Under insurance claim.
Third time I just ordered it from a UK seller, +£50 but I got it in three days, no VAT letters to worry about and no customs delays to concern me.
I wish you all better luck than me. Every attempt I made was with an eBay "Power Seller" with good (recent) feedback for the same product.

So you paid £50 more, and it took 3 days to arrive? Might just as well have bought it from Google
There are no customs delays, DHL take it straight through and invoice you for it a few weeks later. At least that way you get a warranty.

@Rusty!:
I'm not sure I understand your point. Google weren't selling it directly outside of the US when I got mine. Or did you mean something else?
There's no way I would have received it from the US in three days anyway, customs or otherwise.
I have a guarantee, direct with HTC for 12 months.
Could you clarify what you meant?

The majority of the phones shipped to the UK are delivered within 3 days of order. Once dispatched in the US they are usually delivered in UK the next day!

Since this is a 'shipping to the UK' thread, I have assumed you are in the UK. To address your points/clarify what I meant:
Point 1: Google have shipped to the UK since day of release, so dunno what you're on about.
Point 2: I ordered mine late Tuesday, and received it Friday. I think it's fair to count that as 3 days.
Point 3: No you don't I'm afraid. Read the warranty statement, it's first point is that the warranty is non-transferable. HTC already know which Google account ordered the phone, and it wasn't yours.
So what I am saying is you would have been better off in pretty much every way ordering from Google. Still, doesn't matter now can't undo it... both worth mentioning to make sure others get the best deal.

Thanks for the clarification guys, although I wasn't seeking the criticism you so quickly offered!
I'm (ultimately) happy with the course of action I took and the price I paid.
I don't wish to start a debate but you're wrong on the warranty; under law warranty transferability doesn't apply to the retailer/end user relationship, only to end user/end user relationships. As such, the first end user of the device has a 12 month HTC warranty, they can not transfer this warranty.
The retailer doesn't even need to be sanctioned or official as long as they selling original, unmodified goods.

I think I agree (but don't know consumer law well enough..and am no lawyer)
Certainly in Scotland (where I am domiciled) any consumer matter (which a Nexus problem would be) can be handled by the local Sheriff Court if the consumer so desires.
Just because there are clauses in Google's contract doesn't make them right.
Ultimately it will be for a court/judge to decide what the situation.,,
However I'm sure Google & HTC will behave if a professional, competent & legal manner at all times and things would never need to get that far: Aye, right!! (2 positives making a negative..)
Cheers!

Thanks for the replys guys . If i buy from google will i get a year warranty if anything goes wrong?

2 years warrany for us UK (and EU) guys. That's according to the website under tems & condition of purchasing. Assuming you don't start tinkering...

Think someone said the refurbishment centre in UK for HTC is based in Milton Keynes

Indeed it is. Turnaround time isn't too shabby either.

Where are people in the United States ordering the phone from?

I see a lot of people in the UK ordering the Note from the german amazon site, what places are people in the United States ordering the phone from and for what price? I wanted the nexus prime but this looks like it may be an overall better device, not to mention its available now and has a sd card slot which I wanted.

Negri Electronics, ~$800 US with 2nd day shipping and $35 off promo cert.
I initially wanted a prime too, but it was more for the hardware than the software (which the Note will get eventually), and the note's got better goods.

I'm always wary of ordering from Negri, plemix..etc. I just wait for it to get to Amazon.com or Newegg.com at least they have return policies on the devices. If you order from one of those NY web retailers your pretty much SOL on returns.

looks like its on backorder on negri, I thought I saw people paying $700 for the phone? I would love for it to show up on amazon.com

Handtec, paid $723, they shipped it overnight

Negri has a return policy right on their website...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I love Negri...bought 3 high end phones from them over the last 3 years. Not a single problem with returns, etc. Sorry I waited a day late to get my order in.
I found 2 places locally (Chicago area) who "said" they are getting them by Friday...we'll see!

I just bought through handtec @ $776 Canadian. US and Canadian dollars are pretty close right now, might be like $769 USD. 2-4 day shipping with Fedex to North America. They are getting more stock and shipping Friday the 4th, apparently.

Unlocked Mobiles.com
I just ordered mine last Friday, Oct 28th from Unlocked Mobiles.com and they shipped the same day. Total Cost £504.15 = $807.72! Very good about tracking and notification. Tracking shows my phone in New York, I should have it by Friday this week!

I ordered from Negri on Monday, its suppose to be in texas tomorrow. But the guy stated it was shipped Tuesday but did not have tracking number. But I kept asking and it looks like he was on back order but shipped today for tomorrow delivery. Even though I paid for 2 day delivery so he kept to his promise of the date for delivery.
Spent more than I wanted but thats fine if shows up. I had previously ordered with Expansys and they played a lot of games with my order so I canceled with them and went to Negri. But I just got an email from Expansys stating they have them in stock ready to ship. But somehow I do not believe them. There were others that received units from them. Use at your own risk.
Negri seems to be on the up and up, As well it seems there is one person that I kept dealing with on chat and email. So it might be a single guy running the site. So far he has kept to his promise and that means a lot when trusting a unknown website.

They have return policies, that said I've never used them before, so I've never had to return anything to them. Generally I'd agree with you, the big web stores feel better, but lots of people here have used negri before with positive feedback.

Because......... When you want two of them...... There is very little upfront cost. I think of it as a lease with option to buy. When I get two, towards the end I sell them off, pay for the remainder, and get to keep one of them for a hand me down for my son. It all works out in my benefit. It's a little tricky to explain but trust me, it's worth it.

Enjoy your new gorgeous edges

i have a question about pre-order with att.com.
when is my "upgrade eligibility" get updated? when they shipped out my phone or after i received the phone?
let say Att ship my Edge on Thur, i'll be getting it on Monday. Fedex wont delivery on Saturday with 2days air unless you pay extra.
can i still go to store and buy the Edge on friday using "upgrade eligibility"? or is that too late already since att updated my upgrade status and make me ineligible to upgrade for another 2 years?
if i able to get Edge in store on friday, i going to return the one i pre-ordered on att.com.

2nd business day shipping, the package will be at your local fedex distribution center on Saturday, you might be able to call them and have them hold it and you pick it up, but you will get in Monday for sure, pre ordered the note 4 and and they did the same thing.

I have also and I have aalso delivered them. I'm a mail carrier. Most of the phones I've delivered have started of FEDEX. maybe it just depends on there load. It can come either way

a few things to note on my last 3 pre-orders (GS3, iPhone4, & GS4):
1. Pending charges on credit cards may or may not be a good indicator of whether or not the phone will ship on time. Currently my flip case charge was pending on my card since yesterday but not my phone. Two of my last pre-orders from AT&T didn't have charges show up until a few days after I received my phones.
2. No need to pay for expedited next day shipping. Many people paid extra thinking it would be faster. All 3 of my pre-orders were shipped Next Day even though I selected 2-day and I received all 3 on the day AT&T said they would start selling them.
3. Many folks stated their order statuses never changed or never got shipping info but they received their phones on time.
So if all things remain the same, I'm hopeful from past experience that those that preordered, will get our phones tomorrow but I'll still have my fingers crossed.

Yes. This is for Note Edge. Now it is showing;
Estimated Delivery of Mon 11/17/2014 by 8:00 pm

Mine says shipping USPS but it doesn't have a tracking number or expected date of delivery yet

OK I just got a shipping through Fedex notice but it says part of my order was shipped and anything backordered will be shipped as soon as it's made available. The problem is it doesn't tell me what is shipped and what isn't!! My phone better not be backordered as I ordered right after it became available around midnight of Nov 7th!
edit:
btw.. I ordered a Charcoal Edge and a flipcase.

Feel like I've wasted the extra $9.99

Been browsing between here and other forums as people who didn't spend the extra money for priority are already receiving their phones. Oneplus showed Friday as the estimated delivery, but Fed ex is saying Tuesday. Regular shipping would've been Wednesday delivery. I ordered within minutes of launch, so I'm a little irate that some people that ordered hours after and didn't pay extra for shipping had their phones shipped first.

Someone on a Reddit thread suggested that too, so I think I'll give that a try.

I ordered about an hour after launch with priority shipping. It said an estimated delivery of Nov. 29th with, and Dec 11th without! I figured the extra $10 would be worth the week and a half reduction in shipping time. Shipping to Missouri.

I ordered within two minutes of the store opening and chose for priority shipping. My order still shows as 'processed' I contacted Oneplus and they don't even know what's going on :0
According to their information under my order it should have shipped yesterday and I would get it tomorrow.. not much hope unfortunately

in the uk the phone can be purchased at the O2 store or ordered from them for next day delivery home or at store. very easy to get .

if u ordered on 21 and phone don't arrive on 24, you can ask refund for shipping costs

Oneplus showed Friday as the estimated delivery, but Fed ex is saying Tuesday. Regular shipping would've been Wednesday delivery. I ordered within minutes of launch, so I'm a little irate that some people that ordered hours after and didn't pay extra for shipping had their phones shipped first.

Priority shipments usually just bump all of the other standard shipments up, so you essentially paid for everyones priority shipment.
What happened to your package is just pure randomness though, could have been dozens of peoples fault why your package was late by a few days. But it would usually have priority.
Next time just keep the standard shipping. Someone else will pay for priority and you will get your package just as quickly as them (if yours was grouped with them, which happens all of the time)

Same story here. Ordered within minutes. FedEx has a tracking entry since 8pm on the 21st, but OnePlus didn't give the package to FedEx yet and now it's the 23rd. It was supposed to arrive tomorrow, but that clearly isn't going to happen if the shipping label, with a phone hopefully stuck to it, is still in California.
What I'm most worried about is that OnePlus might have oversold the first batch of available phones and so while I paid $10 for fast shipping I'll still have to wait a week for the next container to arrive from China. Just because OnePlus printed a shipping label doesn't mean there was a box with a phone in it for them to slap the label onto.

Ordered 2min after launch, standard shipments. They say it would had come the 29th, it came yesterday from Poland....(Paris, France here)

I feel sorry to those who are still waiting for their phones. I bought mine 11 minutes after it was launched and got it yesterday.

I live in Greater Vancouver Are. I purchased mine on Nov 21, received on 22 in the early afternoon. I did not pay shipping (free DHL Express). I don't really know why they charge you $10 for shipping cos mine was actually shipped from Los Angles

All i know is I got it the next day, so im Pretty sure the 9.99 was worth it, i got mine fedex 2 day
