In stock now at USA expansys, lower price

Suddenly this morning the Note was in stock at expansys usa with a big price drop from 950+ to 790. There were 7 left when I just ordered mine. I think the return policy is best here and also I remember reading something about warranty honored with this seller but not sure. I grabbed it asap thinking it would sell out quick.

Looks like their OOS. Can't find it on their site.

negri has it for $815. wonder who the better seller is?

all of these prices are higher than handtec... dont know why you would pay the premium price considering that handtec overnight ships to the US for only 740 USD

Shipment will be from usa---so no chance of customs issues--see other thread for occasional such issues. Also I believe that expansys will help with warranty issues through their UK office if you need to use the samsung warranty--as per other threads on other phones. So that is why I was more comfortable buying expansys even though it was $50 or so more. I am new at this and may be wrong but this is my impression.

I didn't see galaxy note on their website. maybe they are sold out?

here is the link:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-3-android-tablet-221966/

I think Expansys post out from their French location. That's where mine came from to the UK even though I ordered through the UK site.

[Q] Where to buy In Poland?

Hello everyone, I have checked expansys and at 469 pounds it is not bad, but it is still pricey, but they do take paypal. but if I select the polish expansys site it is 589 pounds and that is messed up.
I have checked http://www.ditech.at/ and they have it at 479 euros but it is sold out. I checked out Panamoz but on the site it states they do not ship to Poland, so can't order there. As for negri, I don't have a credit card and only paypal so I can't use the site.
It is on amazon.co.uk for 474 but I have no idea if they ship to poland.
I checked all the local auction sites and websites, no retailer has it as far as I know, even though the new 8.9 LTE is already on sale.
Edit, I found this http://www.pixmania.pl/pl/pl/11767537/art/samsung/galaxy-tab-7-7-wi-fi-16gb.html and was wondering if pixmania is any good?
Unless anyone knows the release date of the 7.7 in poland, I'd rather buy at a store but by looks of I doubt it will be available in retail stores anytime soon. Any help would be appreciated.

I think its not far from release in Poland, because in Lithuania we have them already. And the price is better if its wifi model.

Hmm I just checked and the device is already on sale in the czech republic and slovakia so this is rather frustrating. Seriously wtf samsung.

Hey has anyone ever ordered from this site before?

A lot of people ordered a galaxy nexus from that site when it was released. As far as i know they all received their nexus. I ended up buying from clove.co.uk, so i have no personal experience with handtec.

Ok hey everyone, So I've looked around and still can't find any good sites, so if anyone knows any french, austrian retailers that sell online and are legit please post them, since I can't seem to order frm amazon, no credit card sadly.
So I need a site that takes paypal.

Black Friday on Oppostyle

http://europe.oppostyle.com/
Oppo Find 5 White 16Go (international version) price drops to 299€.
Oppo Find 5 Midnight 32Go (international version) price drops to 349€.
Oppo R819 Black or White 16go price drops to 249€.
EDIT:
Free shipping across the EU...
OR NOT!!! (Read the thread)
Apparently, some of their packages are now sent directly from Hong-Kong...
Which is plain stupid, since there's at least 50% chances that your local customs will hold the package and ask you for extra fees including the VAT.
This, of course, is a normal process when buying from outside the EU. Whenever I order something from Japan or China, I already know that I'll have to pay the customs fees upon receiving my package.
However, Oppostyle claims all around their website that they "ship from the EU" (and this was actually true when I ordered my Find 5 from them a few months ago).
If now they start to randomly deliver orders directly from Hong Kong, they are supposed to inform you before you place your order!
So, watch it if you still wanna buy anything from them.

Here in the US the Find 5 Midnight 32G dropped to $449, mine should be here today!

Bad luck i ordered the Moto G a few days before the deal. R819 would have been a nice deal!

does someone know when the prices will come back to normal?
thanks..

For the Euro shop, those are now the new prices until they're out of stock.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, I've ordered mine on thursday midnight and the Find 5 was shipped from HONG KONG 4 days later. It got stopped at Croatian customs (where I am from). Asking for the amount I payed, full details of the phone, where it was ordered from, some EORI code I had to activate. After this they would charge me VAT (25%) + custom fees. Too much hassle, canceled my order. "Shipping from EU" was one of the biggest reasons I ordered from OppoStyle, and now this happens. They even tried to declare the package is worth 155 USD, but customs are customs.

Not sure where you placed your order, but oppostyle Europe doesn't ship anything from Hong Kong. They ship from the U.k. Hence the free shipping and no custom taxes whatsoever...

I ordered from europe.oppostyle.com. I contacted the support and they said they would refund me the money that I need to pay the customs but only after I pay it. I don't have the money (25% of the price + more). But it wouldn't have come to this if they only shipped it from UK like stated in their TOS and rest of website. I don't know why they choose to mail it from Hong Kong, but it costed them one customer.

That really sucks balls... Sorry that this happened to you, and il hope nobody else will have to deal with that kind of crap!

Not only that but the support hasn't answered in two days (>24 hours) Asked for a full refund.
EDIT: They offered to sent it from EU, finally. Turned out ok, the support is slow but they do their job.

I ordered my Find 5 2weeks ago and it has been delivered in 4 days. No custom trouble as it came from UK.
Just a note about that a friend bought the same after few days and he received the oppo with a different ROM of mine.

Nexus 9 Hong Kong Play Store

I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?
Personally I am thinking of waiting for the gold one, also for the keyboard to come out. Although Google has not always been that great with accessories and their availability.

Keyboard is ridiculous price! Cheaper alternative for me!

Can't believe it's so cheap in HK!
Man, tempted to go to HK for a holiday now and buy a Nexus 9. My gf would love to go back sometime. We lived there for a year 2012/2013. Plus UK plug heads etc.

The prices at different regions depend on the tax (at least part of the price). If I remember correctly the tax price of tech product in HK is not that high comparining to Europe.
PS. I also ordered mine from HK play store

How much is shipping from the HK Google Play store? I'll be travelling to HK soon and am thinking of getting one whilst I'm there.

Hong Kong really cheap

The term "cheap" should depends on the average income for people in that region

So, up until yesterday, the Play store was showing shipping as 2-3 weeks. This has now been updated as showing "Leaves warehouse by November 5".
Also, should add, no sales tax in HK, which is sometimes why things are a bit cheaper here sometimes (but we do have lots of unofficial hidden taxes which sometimes result in things being more expensive here compared to other parts of the world).

I have not been able to see the white one, must be different for everyone. I think you can RMA with google play store in case of QA problems. It is tempting to be one of the first to use the Nexus 9 tho.

i am heading to HK on holiday on Nov 14, any kind friends from HK can advise me when is the rough date to order the nexus 9 so it can reach my hotel say between 16-18 nov? Also, is there any post office or service address where i can have it ship to so i can self collect while they safe keep for me? i would prefer the latter though. thanks!
Also, would you ahve any idea of trusted and reputable retail shops in HK to purchase the nexus 9?

The official claim from Google is 2-5 business day for delivery after the product has left the warehouse and the warehouse for Hong Kong market is located in Singapore.
Most of the big stores in Hong Kong are trustworthy, but you can expect they might sell it a little bit higher than Play store

Waiting for LTE 32GB to be available.

Never piss off wife. You always have to pay that too with interest.

Now showing as delivery within 1-2 business days. Did anyone decide to get?
Seems the reviews have not been the most favourable.
I am debating whether to hold out until seeing how Lollipop performs on my N7 before committing to the N9.

Buying a Oneplus Two from Alibaba / Aliexpress?

Some Suppliers on Alibaba/Aliexpress/geekbuying already list the Oneplus Two for Presale.
Here are some Links:
Apparently I cant post Links, but you can search them on your own on Alibaba/aliexpress/geekbuying
The Rating of all the Suppliers is pretty good so I gues its not a scam.
I contacted the Suppliers and they only sell the chinese Version, is there a difference besides the OS (which I gues can be flashed pretty easily).
Or are there Hardware-Differences between a Chinese Version and a InternationalVersion like Radio-Frequences and such?
Cause this seems to good to be true :b

I ordered one from Chigon last year and was very happy with it. Only difference was it didnt have a Cyanogen logo on the back but usually they are identical models.
Im ready to order one again but waiting for confirmation its the 64gb version, on chigon it says 64gb in the title but then says black 16gb rom
so dont wanna pay anything out till i know its the one i want lol

It is OK to buy from GeekBuying but you need to be aware some Aliexpress sellers.
You can wait for their review of the Chinese variant. As my experience, GeekBuying always shoot reviews on their YouTube channel for hot products. What's more, you can confirm that they will "have" the OPT.

Yeah I saw the thread from last year, Chigon seems like a really legit Supplier, he also has the 64GB Version as an option now.
But I also found the Supplier Shenzhen Top-One Trading Co., Ltd. , he has a better rating then Chigon and is, at the moment, cheaper then Chigon. So I will probably buy from Top one trading
And it seems that only the OS and Frequences are different to the international model, but all the frequences from my home country are supported so I will defenitly buy it from Aliexpress.

I already ordered from top one aliexpress.64gb model .

I've have bought several smartphones from Spemall and I can assure that is a very reliable shop. I asked them yesterday about the availability for the OPT and told me they already have it on stock, but of course, only chinese version.
