[Q] Buying the Nexus 4 in Japan - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm currently living in Japan. I already purchased a Nexus 7 here for quite cheap.
Obviously, I eagerly awaited the release of the Nexus 4 here in Japan.
Just to find out that Google decided not to sell it here after all!
So my question basically is: how do I get a Nexus 4 here in Japan for the fewest bucks possible?
I found one site called 1ShopMobile.com which seemingly is legit.
(I found a blog post where a Japanese had received their package with the Nexus 4).
They charge 500 USD for the 16gb version including shipping.
Please note that I'm from Europe, so that I compare currencies to the Euro.
500 USD equals about 380 Euro, which is only 30 Euro more than on the European Google Play Stores.
Do you guys know other ways to import a Nexus 4 to Japan?
Other websites, forwarding services, etc. Also not necessarily from the US.
Any ideas or experiences would be appreciated!
Thank you very much.

[Q] Stores With International Shippiment?

I'm just wandering, do you guys know any good store in the US that ship the Nexus 7 16GB internationaly?
I live in Brazil and I want to buy one. Some people are asking too much for it in here and I can get better price by buying it outsite of my country, even if the customs get it and apply the taxes.
No eBay please.
Cheers.

[Q] Complete pricing of Nexus in the US and elsewhere

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.

Nexus 4 On-sellers (For International XDA Members)

Hi
Does anyone know of any on sellers who are shipping the Nexus 4 internationally?
I know of
Negri Electronics
Handtec
Any others?
There is obviously also Ebay- but the price mark up there is even more insane than some of the retail on sellers!!
Thanks
Someone told me that expansys is a reliable reseller but there's no Nexus 4 there yet. I too am looking for a reseller, so thanks for the thread, perhaps we'll see some more sellers.

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.

Taxes and/or import duty... that is for you to find out, Google is your friend

Nexus 6 Saudi Thread (Pricing and Availability)

I have been to the Jarir bookstore here in khurais road but still no news of incoming nexus 6. Its kinda sad, im hoping to get the item upon getting my month end salary but the longer i wait, the more im inclined to buy note 4 which is already available at the jarir store. Anyone else here in Saudi waiting for the nexus 6? My guess the pricing will be around 2500 SR.

Hi there, I'm from Riyadh, I too, also patiently waiting for the Nexus 6 to arrive here. Unfortunately it's not available yet. Maybe we have to wait until December. =( But I think it's worthy to wait, I don't kinda like the touchwiz software of the note4, pure stock vanilla android lollipop is the best. I wish the price will just be around 2000sr. =)
From Dubai
Waiting for this to be released in dubai. Many online Sites have it listed as coming soon but no prices. And Nexus 9 went on sale this week in Jumbo Electronics. :fingers-crossed:

I hear you man. I broke my Nexus 4 last night, screen completely shattered. Don't want to buy Nexus 5 from Jarir, so I'm gonna stuck with my old SGSII for a while till the Nexus 6 is available. Using Touchwiz after using pure stock android is a drawback.
Finger crossed they'll make it available soonish.
I went back to jarir and as of today, still no word of any nexus 6 shipping. The good thing is hopefully we wont be getting the faulty first batch of nexus 6. I see alot complaints already like peeling nexus logo, flimsy speaker grill and scratched back cover.
any news on the availability of this phone? my phone screen broke yesterday, and now I need a new phone
I need this phone now

My dad is come home from Dubai for a couple of weeks, then he as to go back. I go there once a year, myself. I's an amazing place, however, electronics are expensive there; unless you go to Dragon Mart and get knockoffs. lol.
and still no word from jarir for the nexus 6
Hmmmm.. Any body can going to "Al-mursalat" and ask him?

I don't recommend asking in Almursalat area, it is better to support official channels like STC, Mobily... etc,. This way, demand on devices will guarantee fast availability on newly released devices. Unofficially, however, I'm sure that imported devices from the UK for example are available, but I wont take it with no warranty and no guarantee on full network support.
In STC magazine, the Nexus 6 was posted as a "Coming Soon" device, Most likely in the upcoming month or two, on and off contract. The prices were not announced but I'm guessing, based on previous releases like the nexus 5, that it will be around the official US price of $650 (USD).
I hope I was thorough in answering your question.
you can buy it on amazon uk. Yes, it's expensive when converting £ to SR, but this the only way now or you can wait 1-3 months. I've already paid 4173 SR (incl. tax) for nexus 6 64gb model XT1100 (LTE works in saudi arabia).

Nexus 6 Saudi Arabia
Still Jarir people are refusing to even comment on the availability of nexus 6. The point is this that why Jarir, extra and similar stores are so lazy in bringing some devices to the market in Saudi Arabia. Even they had very limited stocks of Note 4, it came and it disappeared very quickly even in Riyadh.
In Mursalat I went today and no availability of Nexus 6 there too. Anybody knows tentative launch of nexus 6 via STC?
you can search dubizzle. there is a guy offering new nexus 6 as per his speech (i think these phones are shipped to him from US or EUROPE unofficially) . if you decided to go for it ... let us know

His prices are reasonable considering that the phone isnt launched yet.

Good News!
I'm happy to bring you the good news!! STC just released Nexus 6, exclusively, through their channels.
The price tag is SR2799 off contract with limited 1 year warranty. On-contract, however, STC is offering a whole system that depends on your "rating" and "rank" in the company's records. Call STC to know what criteria you fall under.
I would add the link to the device but I don't have that privilege, being a new user, to add links in the forum.
However, navigate to STC's website, go to devices and you'll find it in the newly added devices section, you can't miss it.
I hope you find this post helpful, have a good one.
