[Q] How Do I order on online?

Damn, was counting the minutes to the sale and ...
I'm not from the US, but was planning to get one online and shipped to my aramex box in the US. This is my first purchase online and so in all earnest I created registered with bestbuy.
I know how to get the "Shipping address" filed in. The trouble is when I come to the credit card details.
At the point of country, there is a drop down, but the only item in the drop down list is USA!!!
Their FAQ's list:
Can I order the Nexus S from a non-U.S. location and have it shipped to an address in the United States?
Yes, but keep in mind that all Best Buy purchases are intended for use in the U.S. only.

Forget the intention, but how do I order from a non-U.S location if the site does not permit me to enter the card details? :-s
Would appreciate any help

It doesn't go on sale for another 30min, so not sure yet

First: As far as i know they only accept US-Cards and Paypal.
But cant tell that for sure.
Second: I suppose, they will cancel your order. Correct me, if i am wrong, but amarex is a freight forwarder, isnt it?

I have the same problem. I will ship it to my friend's place who will bring me the phone on 23rd. I watched BB site, and it tells you to enter some address in Houston if you have international shipping address. Will see in 30 minutes what happens

kabumm ,
Not sure if they are freight forwarders, but, I live in Kuwait and here, Aramex offers a service that allows us to have a US post box.
When my friends buy from the US, they give the Post Box address and the guys from whom they order post it to this post box.
Aramex for their part regularly checks the postbox and anything found in their is delivered to the owner of the box in Kuwait.
About 15 minutes more ... will wait and see!

I am considering using the same method to order my nexus s.
please let us know once you succeed.

Best way - CALL THEM.
+1-281-742-5268
I'm from Singapore and I ordered it thru the phone.
They WILL need a US registered phone number though and a US mailing address.
I shipped it to a colleague's place there.
One option is to apply for those call forwarding services which gives you a US number, either toll free or non.

What r you doing man?
People over this region are getting too much impatient.
What is the need of ordering it from UK,when it will probably be launched 10-15 days later after UK launch.
Useless thread,please delete it

OMG!!!
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!
I have a meeting today to discuss a bulk order of these devices among others. I HOPE to have a clearer understanding of the time schedules and the reasons behind them. If all goes well, I will post the updates this afternoon.
Getting a device from out of region = No Warranty, No Support, Higher Cost.

unless you live in North America then this is the only way to get it until who knows how many months later : ( plus there's always manufacturer's warranty i guess. and stuff.. lol

How to order from Amazon.de and ship to UK?

First of all sorry if this is the wrong section but the Q&A looked more like Note related question rather than ordering assistance.
I am trying to order from Amazon.de and have it shipped to the UK, tried and almost succeeded when i ordered it, a case and a host USB lead. It said it had shipped (all of it) last week but soon after i received an email saying that the Note could not be shipped do to weight problems?
So now i have been screwed on the shipping for the extras and they wont send me the phone, have tried several times but when i get to confirming the order it says the same thing about electronic goods.
My question is for anyone in or around the UK that has received a note from Amazon.de how on earth did you do it lol i have tried emailing and phoning them since i have a German speaker in the house who can help out but nothing back yet in over 5 days

I ordered my Note from Amazon.de a few weeks ago but didnt order extras to avoid any complication. I ordered those from elsewhere and in the uk. My Note arrived in a few days with no difficulties at all.
Try doing the same.

Sadly i have tried that just the note on its own gets the the confirmation section before saying it cannot be shipped to my chosen address (mainland UK) funny thing is i have already had several items from amazon.de throughout the year including some very expensive items and very inexpensive items.
Really want the Note but i refuse to pay the prices some users think are fair in the UK especially for used models, i mean £500 for a USED item when i can get it for £350 :s

Yes the UK prices are a rip off as are the contract prices which is why i went to amazon.de. I must have been lucky as that was my first ever purchase from there.

I successfully placed an order for a white Note via Amazon.de on Tuesday last week and received it without any issues on Friday ...
That's not very helpful to you I know, but just wanted to let you know that even until very recently, orders have been going through fine with them with shipping to the UK ...
For info, I ordered without accessories ...
Hope you get it sorted cos the cost saving is fab

I wonder if they've got wind of people ordering it to save a fortune and put an end to it. I got mine from Amazon.de at the beginning of January for just 410 Euros. It arrived at my house the following day and bizarrely enough even though it came with a Euro mains plug it was shipped via City Link and came from Milton Keynes.
Sorry that doesn't help you.

I'm not sure why anyone is now ordering through German amazon as the price is now €564 around £475 but UK price is now £519 so for £45 more you get UK delivery and UK warranty. . I was gonna order from Germany but due to sgreen problems chose UK and I'm glad I did cos first note had a really bad screen and amazon replaced it and paid for return postage

And worst UK prices have increased. Handtech was selling for £480 when I ordered from Amazon.de.

Right i went away and tried a few different addresses just in case it was the layout of the address that was messing with the system. Tried 5 different addresses from around the country (friends) and two business addresses (my current and previous) with no luck but i am now thinking it has something to do with what Lakota suggested? as i ordered about £3000 in goods from them before Christmas?
And with a discount i get normally it would mean i would get the Note from from them for around about £350 DELIVERED that's the only reason i am trying to push for this.
Would anybody mind logging into amazon.de and trying to purchase a note for a test? i get as far as choosing an address when it fails so nowhere near checkout? it would make things clear or at least solve an issue because if someone from the UK can still do it, it has to be a problem with the storage of my addresses thats causing the problem.

Just tried the order process again ... I get all the way through to the payment page ... Address went through fine

I order one January 15th, shipped 17th, arrived 19th.
No extras.
Price paid: e546.68 = £441.98 (by my calculation).
Judicous use of Google Translate helped.
Lovely machine. Glad to join this forum.

Looks like Amazon have run out of Notes!
The only links now are to used Notes - 481yoyos! I paid on 450 for a new one.

did you all order new ones? because for used products, the seller can restrict the shipment to Germany.

Yup mine is a brand new white Note ... Amazon.de are showing as having 11 in stock at the moment ...

mine was ordered on the 7th and came on the 9th. you can email custmer service or call them with number given on same webpage. i had to call them a couple of times for replacement. ist ***** hung up on me cause i couldnt speak german. next chap was nice and helpful but phone was out of stock so advised only refund after i sent phon ebcak. but phone worked fine after software update so didnt send it back. having some issues with sd card though, dont know if it is the card as phone works fine without card.
since i had enquired in my email if available for delivery to uk a week or so ago and to let me knw when in stock as i wanted to buy one more note. they emailed me last week saying 1-2 week lead time for delivery to uk so they did get more stock unless they ran out of it again. and yes it was for the black/blue note and not the costlier white one.
call them to sort out your probs. 2 people i spoke to at amazon.de customer service spoke ok english and were helpful but one ***** hung up on me cause i didnt speak german.
wtf yesterday was showing as 503euros now today showing 70euros more!

Which Amazon.de are you looking at?
Amazon have no stock at the moment, Amazon Sellers on the other hand do.
ATELCo are the first seller listed.

i didnt call her a ***** because she couldnt speak english. it was because she didnt pass me on to their english speaking colleagues who deal with international customers bearing in mind i called their separate number for international customers (excluding german, swiss or austrians who have a separate free call back number from amazon.de) at my cost on a number they provide for international customers like me.
if you take the time to amazon.de customer services contact us page, and use the option for phone contact, they will call you for free if you are in germany, switzerland or austria. but for other countries they give another number international customers can call. You are the twunt if you expect a company that gives a separate number for international customers to call from outside germany / austria / switzerland but still speak only german. jerk.
for your information they do have customer service operators that speak english and i spoke to two of them who were good. they also have reps who write back to you in engish and they wrote back to me in english. and they wrote back to me in english by email informing me of new stock as i wanted to buy another note.
twunt yes but thats you sir and not me!
why because they allow me to use my uk account name and passowrd to buy from that website with delivery to the Uk and EU wide warranty and they do have reps thats speak and write english, all that ***** had to do was forward me to one instead of hanging up. That goes against their own customer service moto to provide the best customer service of any company.
rant over.

Right I finally got an email back claiming to not know why I can't order a new note (while in stock) and when I asked why I couldn't order from their warehouse they said they do not ship from warehouses to the uk? I would have though most products make that leap?
Anyway with the prices becoming stupid I guess I will just pass in the note for now since it was going to be replacing my half dead optimistic 2x but it looks like I will be holding on a while longer lol
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys/gals, I will be a note owner some day and.....I'LL BE BACK!!!

Interesting and possible they got some of the Ones released in Germany (Their physical address on the site says "Warsaw, Poland"). I'd have to check on them before I bought anything since I've never heard of them.
Just found this on a quick Google search for them: http://www.scamadviser.com/is-idigitalshop.com-safe.html
Not sure if they're good or bad, but they are very new apparently.

they told me their phones comes from usa partner... in fact they are 64Gb..

It could be.
But I still don't believe they have them in stock. (especially the RED one!!!)

Really don't think its true since they claim to have a "Red HTC One" in stock.. someone call contact them and find out

i made a contact yesterday, thay told me so.. i was wondering if someone has already bought something from them

from scamadviser.com:
Analysis Details:-
This webiste is very new , and as such doesn't have an online reputation yet. As with all new businesses , we suggest that you take care and if necessary get in contact with the owners before placing an order of value.
This site is using an anonymous service - which prevents us from identifying the site owner. This can sometimes be just so that the owner does not receive spam, but be aware that many scam sites use this as a method to hide their identify. If this is an ecommerce site - we would suggest you confirm the business address with the website owners.

mmm... why the hell they should use anonymous service??

I'm from Warsaw and they use false postal code... I've asked them a question, now waiting for answer, but I'd be very careful.

Sounds too good to be true

Apparently they have a mobile number in the contact us page which is always off lol

Actually it's not a mobile, but it still sounds too suspicious for me.

Come on, guys: it's a SCAM!
They pretend to have in stock the Red one and to sell all versions a a ridicolous price!!! :silly:

[Q] Is kmax-store.com legit? (galaxy s4)

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if it's the right place for this kind of thread but I would like to know what you think of this site: kmax-store (dot) com . So basically I want to buy a galaxy S4 and their price is amazing: 500$ for a 16 gb international version + 26$ shipping to Canada. The site doesn't offer a paypal payment method so I'm a little skeptical whether it's a legit site or not. Do you guys know someone who already ordered something from this site and received the item? Thank you.

That big site is weird, many international lenguages, many products, amazing prices... Western union paiment??? Unable to find a single review over the net... Hum... I'd also like to order an s4 there but I'm worried...

Ok so I heard about this site when I contacted a guy who was selling his galaxy s4 on kijiji for 550$. Unfortunately, he said that he already sold it but told me that he bought it from kmax-store and said that I could also buy one from them... But I don`t really have proof that he really bought it there so I think I'll just wait for someone else to order and make a review of the site or something.

Guess what? Same story here. The same guy told me on kijiji montreal that I can get one at kmax. Got to be scam!!

This is bull$hit ^^
You created your account to confirm that they're not scam?
Ok show us proof/papers from that website.
Just blurr out your name/address and imei number.
Untill someone legit here can confirm that site is safe, i highly recommend to stay away from it.

Yesterday I was going through the checkout process just to see what kind of payment method was available. Once I saw there was no paypal and a weird money transfer to a bank I knew that something was wrong so I didn't pay. Now look what I received today in an e-mail from the store:
"Hello, Every day KMax and Samsung offer to our customers 1 x Samsung Galaxy S3 32GB White. You are the winner for today. To confirm the winning, you must complete your payment for your first order and provide a photo or scan of the bank transfer receipt or Statement.
Please reply to provide more details."
So yeah as Dean said this site is total bull****. Now I feel really bad for those who placed an order there:/
