I have been trying for about a week now to get the 6P but the play store wont allow different credit card addresses / different billing address, so I can't get it from there, Huwawei's website has a really long wait time :/, ebay/amazon is super overpriced, is there any other website that does not use the verification that google uses and the price isnt inflated through the roof? I really need a new phone and the Nexus 6P is the best thing ive seen in a while!
Help would be much much appreciated.
Yeah try locally.
Yeah, we don't get nexus devices here and haven't for years, it's terrible . Anything else maybe =/ ?

I had no choice but buy from eBay and pay some import taxes. A little bit too expensive, but totally worth it. Greetings from Mexico.
You can try UsGoBuy.com forwarding service. They will give you a valid US address in Oregon, which is a sales tax free state.
Then use that address as a billing address in your Google wallet. You can add any international credit card there as long as you have a valid US address.
Use a VPN service from US and use incognito tab in chrome, so that Google thinks that you are really inside of the US. Order you phone, and wait until the forwarder sends it to you.
If it doesn't work, try setting up a new Google account and make sure that you use vpn and incognito tab.
I personally completed all the above steps successfully, and now I am waiting to get the amount to actually buy the device.

That's what I did.....received my 6p on Thursday
Or you can use fishisfast and they will buy on your behalf for a very small fee
Viabox service would buy it for you for free. But I found out that usgobuy is more reliable

Honestly, it was too much work or maybe I'm just too lazy, it was cumbersome. It came out at around 597 $ (64 GB Aluminum) because of tax, and it would not accept my payment, I went on ebay and found a good seller who is selling it unopened and brand new at 620$, I didn't mind the extra 23 $, and finished the order in a few seconds, seriously, I hope Google gets it **** together with this payment thing, here's the link for anyone interested :

If you get high risk its because your account it new. Contact the Google Store support, tell them you got the error and they can release you from the high risk tag.
I have no idea what they ask for, but I some some people did it and it worked.

Also keep in mind that ordering from the US will get you the H1511 model which has bands targeted for North American carriers. Before the 6P was available locally in my country I was also thinking the same thing but found out that the H1511 model doesn't have the LTE bands my carrier uses. You can't buy the international H1512 model from the US Google Play Store and Huawei store unfortunately.

Use Hotspot Shield as your proxy, then you must use a mail forwarding service such as ComGateway.
More info here ://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=Google_Phone

I heard that ComGateway is not really reliable. Some ppl complain that it takes more than a month for them to receive the item, so yea, I don't really recommend it.
I don't know if this is allowed, so if It's not mod please remove.
American Express is currently running a promotion to attract more customers to their Serve service.
Serve is essentially American Express' version of PayPal. It's becoming popular fairly rapidly especially here on the XDA marketplace.
If you sign up before March 31st you get 10$ just for signing up. They'll send you a card in the mail which you can use at any location that accepts American Express cards.
You can sign up at http://www.serve.com/
You can also PM me your e-mail if you wanted to be really nice and let me get a referral commission
Just saying, anyone 18+ in the US should sign up for this. It's a FREE 10 bucks no strings attatched.
They asked me to send them copies of my social security and other documents so I just left it alone
When did they ask that?
I signed up and the most info they asked was last 4 digits of SSN.
Besides, its not like this is some shady company, its amex! Possibly the best card company in the US

You don't get it until you recieve the card in the mail and confirm it with the card #. I think mine just confirmed and went through just like that.. no other confirmations needed, says to watch the mail for my card.

So, here's the thing. I have a friend living in the US who is coming over to India in about 10 days.
I want to order a Nexus 7 that is delivered to his house & he will bring it with him when he comes here.
I figured out how to access the US Play Store [using a proxy that spoofs an US IP].
Now, can I use my Indian credit card and enter a US billing address ?
Are there any other steps I need to take so that the order goes through ?
If anyone has placed an order or has any experience doing such stuff, I would really appreciate you input.

Can your "friend" not buy it for you using his credit card and you pay him out later? He can pick it up at any retail store stocking N7.
Most CC cards need the billing address to be specified on the file, I suspect transaction with your own CC will be denied.
Besides, have you been reading the forums yet? All the 12-13 manufacturing defects this tablet has?
What will you do if you get a lemon?

Nah, I couldn't ask him to pay for it.
If I give a US billing address [fake], will the transaction be declined ?
As for the defects, I am worried, but as ASUS seems to releasing the Nexus 7 in India in a few months, I will get warranty soon enough. But, I definitely hope I get a defect-free tablet.:fingers-crossed:
Anyone have any ideas on how to do it ?

Hi there,
I'm a reseller in other country. My customers want to buy google nexus so much that I have to find a way to order it from play store.
I will ship the items to a cargo service in US and then export them to my country.
In the purchase step, I added my international VISA card with billing address is the cargo service address and the shipping address is the same. I did it well and ordered about 200 items last month. However prior last three days, google immediately canceled my all orders if I place new order. I don't know whether google implement their policy about using the US-credit card payment policy more strictly.

You can use your CC, with the REAL billing address. Although from what I've learned, it is possible that your account might be suspended.
But DON'T PANIC.... If it does, write to customer service and provide your ID and CC scans to prove you are not fraud...
There are cases here in China that passed through.
Good luck.

I encountered the same problem recently. Called Google Play support and apparently there is some CC processing issue since Sunday and was still working on it which is consistent with your experience. So just have to wait I suppose. Unless of course the CS is misleading us although he has no reason to do so.
Anyone successfully ordered devices from Google in the last 3 days ?

OMG, you 're so nice. I think I'm the only one meet this problem ( . I'm very frustrated 5 days because I cannot place any order on google play store. Do you have skype or email that we can contact and share information about ordering bulk google nexus 7?
I created many gmail account to tried place order with 3 different international debit cards but there's no positive result. I received some emails with the same content:
Hi there,
Thanks for your patience in this matter, my name is Paul E. and I will
help you sort this out today. I really do know how frustrating these
things can be.
According to our records, this purchase was cancelled by our system for
security reasons, but this appears to have been an isolated case that has
since been resolved. I've taken a look at your account and confirmed that
you have not been charged.
Though your order has been cancelled, you may notice activity on your
credit/debit card for this order. Please be assured that the amount on
your card statement is an authorization, not an actual charge, and the
authorization will automatically be removed from your account within 1-14
business days, depending on your bank.
Though we're not able to re-instate cancelled orders, you're welcome to
try your purchase again. If your orders continue to be automatically
cancelled, please do write back and let me know so that we can alert the
proper team and ensure that your orders go through properly.
I hope that answers your question, but feel free to ask any other Google
Play questions you have. I'd also like to let you know to expect a short
anonymous survey about your support experience in the next few days; we
keep trying to find ways to improve our customer support, and your
feedback will definitely help.
Best,
Paul E.
The Google Play Support Team

More problems ordering apps
Hi,
Ok, so hopefully someone has a suggestion.
I've been able to order apps just fine using Proxmate extension on Chrome.
The other day it stopped working.
I had my programmer create a proxy to try and get through, and still no luck ordering.
One possible problem is I tried probably 20+ times to order as we were trying to debug the process.
Now, I have an employee of mine in the US loglin to my account, and try to place an order for an app and it gives her the same error - that the order could not be placed for a technical reason.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? I can log in just fine, but can not purchase. If they suspended my account, I would imagine that I would not be able to even login - but that's just a guess.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi,
I placed an order for Nexus 7 2013 LTE to a valid address in US and Order got cancelled..
The story so far:
1. I tried ordering from normal playstore and i am redirected to Indian Playstore (pretty logical from Google since i live in Bangalore, India).
2. I spoofed my IP by going over VPN (Hotspot, Ultrasurf) Google got me there again saying It is not available for my country !!!.
It tracks my activity rather than IP address.
Created a new account and still get the same treatment (not sure how Google got me there. could be that Hotspot, Ultrasurf are blacklisted or something).
3. Went to my office VPN and tried placing order with a new account ( Google could not catch me here and i got proceeded to order)
4. Order Placed, money deducted from my credit card, got order conformation from Google. (yay ! -----> happiness short-lived bitterly)
5. 2 minutes later my order gets cancelled saying my name on credit card and recipient name does not match (!) and bank address does not match recipient address ( I mean cmon, i am ordering for my aunt staying in US. Google what you should be concerned is getting the money of course and not the person who is ordering it. I did not want my aunt to be burdened with the process of placing an order an all. Just wanted her to receive.)
6. Looked into BestBuy as new stock of LTE have arrived. Says carrier is AT&T ( Dont want AT&T since i stay in India).
7. Amazon has some seller selling at 500+ dollar ( Dont want to buy from him at that price of course)
8. Ebay is overpriced at the moment (both India and US (got paypal account for that))
So now I do not know what is the next possible step i need to take.
Can someone suggest me some way i could get this ?
If anyone has gone through the same, can you help me out if you have found a way to buy the same.
Link for Bestbuy: Nexus 7 2013 32GB LTE Unlocked - AT&T Sim
Update 1 (8/10/2013 - 10:27 AM): Checked with Bestbuy and they said that it is the unlocked version with AT&T sim. So i went ahead with best buy and ordered the product. I will discarding the sim once i get it to india.
BestBuy also throws in some free goodies like 6 months of Antivirus and 6 months unlimited Cloud Storage.
It has also given this model for a cheaper final price than Google Play Store. I got charged with lesser tax than what is normally charged by Google.
Update 2 (08/10/2013 - 10:30 PM): : My order status has changed from Order Received --> Payment Validated --> Preparing Order.
Order Status:: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 3 - 5 days. :fingers-crossed: to get it early.

I have seen that thread. It mentions about the wifi versions and not the LTE one. checked the adorama and it looks good but there is not much information or pictures of the same. so i am a bit skeptical to proceed. BH photo does not have LTE.
I am looking for 2013 version. 2012 3G is available on flipkart but dont want that.
Method will work on any model as u just wants to buy from play store ,Do one thing mail to that particular website or have chat with them & ask them when they will be in stock , & they will list it on there websites. Did you tried office max ? Or ask borderlines to order they will buy for u but some bucks you will needed to pay them ...

Interesting. I found the LTE on the Best Buy website but not in stores. Almost all of the retail stores in the US do not stock the LTE. There may be some exceptions in a few well known stores like Fry's (unsure if stocking LTE) or some NYC retailers (B&H, etc).
For most US city locations the LTE model is simply not (yet) stocked in stores. In my opinion, depending on where you go in the US, the Best Buy option to ship to store in 3-5 days is best. Also, if you have some Best Buy coupons, etc, you might save some money.
Thanks for the info about Best Buy, I did not know until you mentioned it. Good luck.
It does not matter about AT&T or T-Mobile or neither because Google only tosses SIM card activation kit in the box. No other difference in the US.

In my opinion, depending on where you go in the US, the Best Buy option to ship to store in 3-5 days is best. Also, if you have some Best Buy coupons, etc, you might save some money.
...
It does not matter about AT&T or T-Mobile or neither because Google only tosses SIM card activation kit in the box. No other difference in the US.

how is it better than sending directly to a home address?
So by your second point i can go ahead and order the same and i throw away the at&t/tmobile sim-kit is it? if i remove the sim, then it is the same as normal unlocked with support for any 3G/4G capable sim ?
Bob.. thanks to you i have got some hope :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
I placed an order for Nexus 7 2013 LTE to a valid address in US and Order got cancelled..
The story so far:
1. I tried ordering from normal playstore and i am redirected to Indian Playstore (pretty logical from Google since i live in Bangalore, India).
2. I spoofed my IP by going over VPN (Hotspot, Ultrasurf) Google got me there again saying It is not available for my country !!!.
It tracks my activity rather than IP address.
Created a new account and still get the same treatment (not sure how Google got me there. could be that Hotspot, Ultrasurf are blacklisted or something).
3. Went to my office VPN and tried placing order with a new account ( Google could not catch me here and i got proceeded to order)
4. Order Placed, money deducted from my credit card, got order conformation from Google. (yay ! -----> happiness short-lived bitterly)
5. 2 minutes later my order gets cancelled saying my name on credit card and recipient name does not match (!) and bank address does not match recipient address ( I mean cmon, i am ordering for my aunt staying in US. Google what you should be concerned is getting the money of course and not the person who is ordering it. I did not want my aunt to be burdened with the process of placing an order an all. Just wanted her to receive.)
6. Looked into BestBuy as new stock of LTE have arrived. Says carrier is AT&T ( Dont want AT&T since i stay in India).
7. Amazon has some seller selling at 500+ dollar ( Dont want to buy from him at that price of course)
8. Ebay is overpriced at the moment (both India and US (got paypal account for that))
So now I do not know what is the next possible step i need to take.
Can someone suggest me some way i could get this ?
If anyone has gone through the same, can you help me out if you have found a way to buy the same.
Update: Checked with Bestbuy and they said that it is the unlocked version with AT&T sim. So i went ahead with best buy and ordered the product. I will discarding the sim once i get it to india.

No big difference ordering for in store pickup or home delivery. The SIM brand makes no difference. Any micro SIM will work if the LTE bands are supported. You might research which bands exist in your area and which bands are supported by the device.
I've seen a thread discussing setting the LTE bands using "secret dialing codes". This would likely void your US warranty. I'm not sure if it could work.
I just noticed today - Best Buy in North Carolina now shows some stores with "in stock - in store" on LTE Nexus 7. I might stop to see if they have the ones with SIM card or not.
Good luck.
Update 3: Order Status:: 1 item(s) shipped via STANDARD on 10/08/13 via
Tracking Number: UPS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Late update as i was on a holiday.
Product reached the destination after 5 working days.
Currently working fine. No glaring issues seen till date.
Working with Indian SIM? Also are there any branding marks? I am also planning to get one for myself.

[Q] Problems with checkout, error "BM-CPE-13" order declined because of high risk.
Hello, im trying to buy the Nexus 6P frost of 64gbs but when I try to make the order system declines because of high-risk..
I've tried several times but still the same.
Someone have the same issue?
Thank you.
Nope. Mine went through just fine. Were you trying to do the payment plan? It sounds like your credit report came back bad.

I call the bank to verify is everything was ok and they told me that there's nothing to prevent the card for been charged, everything is ok in their systems and I have to comunicate with a Google officer to check what happends.
I dont know why this happends because I already bought an Nexus 5 long time ago with the same account, credit card, and using the same address.
Is kinda stupid you have to insist to make a purchase.

Remove the card from your wallet account and add it back again,then try ordering. That's what worked for me.

I don't think the Nexus phones are available for purchase yet in the Dominican Republic. Either Google recognizes you are on a VPN, or they see you are international trying to use a US-based card. Either way, I am happy to see Google being proactive with security.

As i said, I bought the Nexus 5 with the same account, card and country based.
Google is not being proactive with security if this "proactivity" doesn't allow you to make a purchase.
Banks already has their own security systems, so there's no reason why Google should be that kind of strict in payments options. They're losing business opportunities.
Ill figure out the way to buy it, then, Il post the solution. But I'm sure that I going to get it.
Even i ordered from outside the US and faced this issue several times. Try what i said.

This is what I did. I live in Jamaica but have a USA account with a US bank. I used a VPN on my laptop (hotspotshield) and I ordered using that card and shipped to a freight forwarding address in the USA and my order went through ok, I think I'm one of the first orders to go through too as I noticed the nexus 6 website ended with /nexus/6 so I had /nexus/6p on auto refresh which eventually went live and I ordered immediately.
