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".

Buy from India?
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.
Anyone know where I can buy a North American version of the Arc that will ship to the USA. I see it available at Best Buy Canada but they won't ship it. No one else, not even Sonystyle seems to carry it. Anyone know where to get one?
Thanks
Check the Japanese arc thread. Lot of us ordered from a Japanese seller on eBay. You have three color options with Japanese model.
To me still Japanese(Docomo) is the best option since you get all the colors unless Sonystyle starts selling them from tomorrow...
color is not a real big deal for me and the Japanese reseller wants over $200 more then what it's being sold for in canada. Any other possibilities?

its not $200 over , how did you get that
Rogers from store price including taxes is $650
so this is without ebay fees or paypal or seller profit or shipping fees
the to get the japanese one with paypal only is $720 and he is shipping from japan.
so you do the math now
Good luck
Best Buy canada is selling for $550 as well as their Sony Style stores.

its 550 CAD + 12% tax = $66 CAD
total = 616 Canadian dollars = 651.3030 US dollars
Forgot about that exchange rate... But there still is paperwork with the FCC to deal with as well as 2 week international shipping wait time. I guess no one has found any place willing to ship it to the states yet. I've tried getting it shipped through rogers, sonystyle, and bestbuy and they all won't do it.

I went though this Seller from Japan.
Ordered on Sunday and received it on Wednesday (Free Shipping)
No FCC, since they already got the paper works.
You choose what is best for you, but we are trying to show you more option. You may better off till someone ship it to you from Rogers or here in the US someone starts selling them.
Good Luck
Edit: This guy on ebay sells them from Canada - Rogers

Oh, I missed that. Just woke up!
Thanks for the help everyone. I'm gonna contact the the guy from Canada, maybe we can strike a deal. If not I'll try the guy selling the ones from Japan. I'd rather get it unlocked and ready to go. It it seems unlocking and flashing the Japanese one isn't too bad. I've done some modding to my X2.
Look what showed up today on mobilecityonline for pre-order? Has anyone ordered from them? They have good reviews on Google.

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.
Is there any way that we can buy the Nexus 4 if we're not in the US/UK/etc.? Would really love the ability to get one and have them ship to a forwarding address or something.
And I'd rather not get it from eBay or Amazon since there's the whole price mark-up thing. =(

I want to buy Nexus 4 asap. Its available only on Google Play for now and only in supported countries, so cant use Expansys/Negri. How do I get notifications on pre-order dates since Google Play is not even cataloguing Nexus 4 in India? and is there a way I can pre-order sitting here in India?
yeah, And I believe that Expansys and Negri both will sell it for more than the Play store as well...
What about the warranty?
Is it international? If so, who pays the shipping costs in case the N4 needs to be sent to LG for repairing ?

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK
I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.
Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.
Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday
I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.
Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)
I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

Purchased mine from Ebuyer on Monday and it should arrive Wednesday. Cannot wait.
Just checked the Play Store out of curiosity - the new Nexus 7 is live. I presume it went live at midnight. Ordered mine from Ebuyer though, to get it on Thursday.
Any discount code from the retailers? Planning of getting the 32GB WiFi, but considering LTE.

I know it's not relevant but holy sh*t... the Nexus 4 is £199 now. On topic, my Nexus 7 should arrive in the next few hours. :good:

Mine should arrive this morning, just a few hours, I hope the ones in the uk are a fresh batch with lower defect rate. It seems the prices have levelled off at £199 for 16GB and £239 for 32GB, I have not seen the LTE variant yet but i believe that would go for £299 32GB, but again i am not sure. :laugh:
I paid for the Express AM service from Parcelforce on Ebuyer so it might be here in the next hour or so. I literally cannot wait.

Yes but I only can buy with paypal and they don't work with that.
is this a good and trustworthy site for buying the nexus 7; http://www.tiptopelectronics.co.uk/ ?
Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.
