Hi guys I wanted to order at www.cruzerlite.com but these shippment prizes are crazy. When the ordering is above 100$ the shippment is free. So if anybody from Germany is interested in sharing an order. Please share that thoughts in here or send me a PM!

We must get over 100$(free Shipment) and stay below 150€ to avoid customs.
Hello guys!
Here in my country (Portugal) the pre-order gift is a LG Portable Projector valuated at 300€ they say. I'm going to sell it since i don't want/need it.
How much you guys think i can ask for this? I think at least 180€ no?
And btw if someone wants it just PM me i can send Europe countries
Best Regards all.
Well, nobody? lol
Check Ebay..
Hi guys. I'm simply in love with Pixel 2 XL. And I want it. Now!
Unfortunately I live in Italy.. And the phone will be delivered..... No, we don't know when... But we know the price! 989euro. Crazy!
So I think to buy it the the States. One friend will buy the device and send it to me.
One question: the phone will work correctly in Italy/Europe? In tech specs all the data are the same between US and IT devices.
Thank you so much guys!
Seems like there's no difference between US and RoW model in terms of lte bands this time around. Should be fine. I'm waiting for my US purchased device to use it in Russia.

i order my device from us store and i don't live there
most likely that it will work fine
but make sure that the lte bands in italy are supported in the pixel + order unlocked version
Going by the specification page on the American Google store, the Pixel 2 phones should work just fine in Italy. They might not support carrier-aggregation though if that's available in your country.
Google has yet posted any clarification regarding this.
This Pixel 2 has no difference all over the world on cell coverage.
Thank you guys

in usa most states have tax
only few don't have tax
My experience with "importing" tech stuff from the States is, your shipment will 99% go through customs and you will have to provide your receipt which in turn will serve as a base for calculating how much import tax you will have to pay to your government. Since I live in Slovenia and you are in Italy (neighboring countries part of the EU) I believe your scenario will be the same.
Taken from http://tradecommissioner.gc.ca/italy-italie/market-facts-faits-sur-le-marche/17370.aspx?lang=eng
Import duties into EU countries are subject to import tariffs (normally applied on the import c.i.f. value) plus the value-added tax (VAT) which varies according to different importing countries. The standard rates for Italy is 22%.
According to the Italian Stability law of 2016, the standard VAT may increase to 25% in 2018. The imposition of the VAT rate increase will be dependant on the performance of the Italian economy.

It doesn't matter where you're importing from, your import tax is the same - shipping from other EU countries does not count as importing.
So put another 22% on top of your price of $902 and add the ****ty conversion rate from $ to € your government will probably give you. The phone will end up costing you around 900 € if they don't add any handling expenses as well.
It's funny how the situation changed in the last 3 years. Before it was hard to get Apple products where I live and it was very easy to get subsidized Nexus phones from our carriers, now it's the other way around. Getting a Pixel would cost me around the same as it would getting a Crapple product. A shame really.
Hello,everyone i've looked for importing the Pixel 2 too but the main problem it's the customs fees are too expensive and all the company that send to France (like shipito, mailbox ...) only send via DHL FEDEX so there is 100% chance that customs fees will be added, and they cost 120€ ... I'm going to Miami in March and i'm thinking of buying it at a store in Miami but i don't know if we can import the phone like this if there is customs fees risk too or not.
@AmphybiouS How do you proceed to receive your Pixel and what was the final price, did you have customs fees ?

If you buy the device in a store and bring it with you on your person or in your luggage you won't have to pay import fees.

thanks a lot so i think the best choice is to wait till March haha plus the fact that the conversion € to dollars is better for me 700$ (with Florida taxe) cost 600€.
But the customs wont say anything if i have my current phone and the pixel 2 with me ?
What happens with the warranty though?
When they increased their warranty time they said about "worldwide warranty"
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsFRyoLZZjXvo/?hl=by
We’re very confident that the Pixel 2 delivers an exceptional smartphone experience, and to give users peace of mind, every Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will now come with a 2-year warranty worldwide.

Did they mean that the warranty will be 2 years everywhere or that the warranty is valid no matter where you are?
I really want one too, but not available in Portugal!
Hey guys,
I live in Poland and I took mine from Ebay. For all the people here looking to buy one, this is what I recommend.
I paid 880eur in total for my Pixel 2 XL 64.

Check the APN settings, it will work in Europe. I bought mine in the US, but I use it in Hungary without network errors.

I had 3 phones with me: a Nexus 5x (my old phone), a Meizu (backup phone), both in my backpack and the new P2XL in my pocket. Nobody asked why have I three phones. And a tablet...
Hi,
Does anyone know, why OnePlus doesn't ship to New Zealand or How I can buy OnePlus devices with the OnePlus warranty? Because I am in New Zealand and I cannot order OnePlus devices from there website. I have to buy it from local stores and they provide one year warranty. But if I contact OnePlus, they cannot find out anything on my phone using IMEI number. They say it's a dummy phone and they do not provide any support at all.
I did contact to OnePlus, and they said I can buy from Austrailia if my friends or family is living there. If I order that way then I'll have to pay to the customs and it's gonna cost me more than $1000 NZD.
Any Solutions...???

Your best bet, if you want a decent warranty, would be to wait until someone like PBtech start bringing it to NZ. Since they have a pretty reputable local shop, if any issues crop up, they should sort things out much better than any other parallel import shops. I'm also "very impatiently" waiting for it to come to NZ.
I do not have enough money right now. I had that time. It is available now at http://supero.co.nz/oneplus-5t-64gb-midnight-black/
