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.

I'm not good at taxes and all this ...
If I'm in USA and want to buy HTC HD from UK site (e.g. expansys.com) and have it shipped to me in USA .... should I look at
VAT included price of £524.99 or VAT excluded price of £446.80 ?
I understand I can buy from expansys-usa.com, but generally speaking ?
No. You dont have to pay VAT if you are getting it shipped from Europe to the US address. I just bought the Touch HD from one of the UK sites with out VAT.
thanks a lot
I have a general question similar to this. I leave in Minn..but I notice that expansys has the Blackstone available now....can I order it from this site? They will ship to Minn.?
Sorry if this is a dumb a## question. but I'm about to drop a lot of money and just want to make sure its safe.
yes, Kenjari, expansys will ship to the usa. I, myself have ordered one from clove on wednesday and expecting deliver tomorrow or monday.
my total came out to be 750 ish w/ 16 gb micro sd.
Thanks copualt3. I looked at clove's site. I did the conversion. It came up to $616.98 total Is this how much you paid for it? Why is expansys charging damn near $200.00 dollars more?
How did you come up with $616 ?
£445 is approx $700, no ?
I used this online convertor. http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi
So it might not be as accurate as I thought. But I went to clove and set up shipping and everything. Got the total amount and went to that convertor. Thats what it came up with.
i ordered DHL shipping + the 16 gb micro sd so that's an additional 50-70 euro.
expansys likes to charge more than their competitors.
I also ordered from Clove and was to receive the phone Monday am, but today received an Email from FedEx that there was a delay. Clove needed to send them more info.
"A complete Telecommunications Form is required" is what caused the delay.
That may be a customs thing. I forwarded to Clove and hopefully they can quickly fix this.
Just an FYI for fellow Americans...

Go check that converter again, I don't think you selected "GBP United Kingdom Pounds".

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone confirm buying touch HD from a UK site (Clove, Expansys...) in India? What i need to know is what is the customs scenario here in India?
How much do they charge?

You have to ask your own Indian government how much they will charge you. It has nothing to do with the UK.

Thanks! I know that. My question was directed to some buyer from India to share his/her experience.
Hi,
Anyone in the USA gotten theirs delivered from a UK site yet? Were there any US taxes to be paid? What other procedures are there besides just ordering it off the website (this telecom form) ? Thanks in advance for the info!!
I'm about to push confirm on Clove.co.uk site to order my Htc HD. However, the website doesnt specify, which language am I ordering? As anyone ordered from Clove? What language is it in...is it WWE? Lastly was there a 2 year warrant that came with it?

I odered mine from expansys (UK site) on Nov. 10th. No VAT, no CA sales tax, no custom forms, HD was shipped via DHL and was here on Thursday, Nov. 13. This time frame included a little hassle, as expansys USA took over (actually wanted to) and I told them I want it shipped directly from the UK. USA price was quite a bit higher, I think $799 phone only.

I ordered mine from handtec.co.uk for $706 USD total.
I ordered it on an Friday and received it on the following Wednesday, 4 working days. They ship via Fedex so Fedex called me then emailed the FCC form.
See link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445804
A bit of a hassle as Handtec only takes Google checkout for payment. They weren't proactive on providing a tracking number but I spoke to them on the phone and they were very responsive. All in all a good experience.
I follow all the news about nexus on a daily basis, but would like to see if any of you guys have heard something about when google will start to officially sell the phone to the rest of the world. Or at least EU, since that's where I'm from :>
And are they gonna still sell it from google.com/phone or they are looking into deals with the local carriers for each country?
Would be nice if they ship it from within EU, so we can avoid the extra taxes.
p.s.
right now its being sold for over $850 here, unofficially
No idea, Google hasn't come with any officiall dates as far as I know. Didn't cost me more than $650 to get it to Norway, so noone should buy from those that sell at $850.
It is officially sold in the UK (which is EU member I believe), so why don't you just forward shipment from there?
It wont take more than extra 50-80$..

interesting, how does that work?
do i owe taxes for the import from USA to UK? Or just for the end destination?
You can buy it here in the UK from play.com, but at a mere £600 its a rip off!
I live in australia and have my nexus - just use a shipping forwarder and a proxy program and buy the phone from google.com/phone.
instructions here:

I used comGateway, was very quick and all that.
def picking one up on att 3g
Hi everyone, I am soon going to be buying the newer version of the nexus one with 3G support for Rogers,
When I start the buying process on google, it doesn't show you the price until the very end.
So I was wondering if anyone has already gotten this phone or not? and How much you had to pay at the end? (I mean after the currency conversion, shipping charges, and customs taxes) please let me know if you ordered yours this week and how much customs did you have to pay.. as this will really help me buy this phone since I am on a tight budget...
Thanks
Considering that the phone was only available to Canada yesterday - you will be one of the first to order directly from Canada. With that said, I did order a T-Mobile version - but I had it shipped to HK (Last week). Shipping was $26.16 and I ended up paying $584.35 CAD (this amount shows up in my Credit card statement) and there should be no taxes since my relative has nothing to bring back except for the phone - which is well within the personal exemption limit of $750 for Canadians.
Ordered from Google last night. Total was USD $556.16 to ship to Canada.
Has not shipped yet, will let you know.
Anyone know that when Google sale Nexus 7 outside US region, the price still on $199 8G and $249 16G?
any timetable, when will be release sale outside US region ?
In Canada the Nexus 7 is selling for $209 for 8GB and $259 for 16GB.
I think think so, depending on location and currency from each country. There's also shipping charges and tax if your country charge tax.
Questions go in the Q&A section
in Australia its $249 for 8gb and $299 for 16gb. kinda stupid since our currency is on par with the US currency, but aside from that i cant complain.
Its not for sale in china.So sad,but there is a market called taobao,about ￥1700 today.

Let's keep this thread going with reports as the other former British colonies get their roll out and then the Euro folks as well. It would be good to also post any announcements for future sales as the global rollout happens. I dunno if I should wait for any Taiwan sales to start (Asus will sell them in their home I hope?!??!?) or pick one up when I go home to Canada in late August. The loose/misaligned/delamination of the LCD issue seems serious enough I don't want to bring it back to Taiwan and not have warrantee redress.

Australian goods and services tax is 10%. Assuming US$199/249 is tax free then Aus taxed equivalent is AU$219/275. Currently AU$1=US$1.02. Mmm....there seems to be a Google tax in there as well!

They always using higher currency rate, like Paypal........it is not fair but we have no way to complain
I had to go to an Asus depot here in Taiwan to get my notebook fixed. I asked if the N7 would ever come here. The woman said yes, maybe August or September. With the language barrier factored in, that makes me pretty confident we will see them here in Asia...maybe relatively soon...
If anyone is interacting with Asus staff, not just retailers, you should ask aggressively, not take no or "maybe" for an answer, and post here.
I already saw in the official links of the play store and i can't find a web that sells the nexus 7 and delivers to Mexico, in case of find a way to buy it, how many will i have to pay in taxes?
Thank you so much in advance :laugh:

Not sure if this will help you but I ordered my N7 2013 from Amazon and shipped it via ExCaliberPC to South Africa. They do international shipping and it arrived at my door in 5 working days. I did however pay $250 for the 16GB WiFi, plus $40 tax from Amazon's side, then South African customs pegged $50 more onto the cost total say $340), but this will be less for you in Mexico I think. All in all they have excellent service and tracking, so if you're eager like me, find the 16GB N7 2013 on Amazon and choose to buy it from ExcaliberPC if you want it shipped to you.

Looks like ~ US$ 43 shipping to Mexico.
Taxes and/or import duty... that is for you to find out, Google is your friend
