hi guys, i started a new thread few days ago for the very same fact that i wanted to know whether handtec/clove technology can able to ship htc desire from UK to INDIA....
they said they will be mailing the parcel with international courier. they also warned me that once the parcel leaves their office for delivery to my address, they really can't control if any customs duties are applied once the parcel enters indian borders.... i am also scared that customs officials might take some bribe to give my parcel.... this also couldnt be confirmed from the company side selling this product that it will not happen like that....
thats the sole reason i am very much apprehended to book online... bloody india... it will never ever mature... people r so sick... being an indian, its a shame for me to tell this very true fact.... i hate to be an indian....
sorry for going off topic.... i wanna know for sure that desire reaches me without any problem from UK to INDIA once i make purchase online from either handte.co.uk/clove.co.uk.....
kindly anyone throw some light on this issue.... even local courier people are not aware of the fact that it will be delivered for sure....

Did you ship it with a courier like DHL or the regular Airmail? DHL are almost guaranteed to pass it through customs but airmail depends.
Nice to see that you are ashamed of your own country you idiot!!! Ever thought of paying the damn customs duty because you ARE SUPPOSED to? Morons like you keep putting the country to shame. Grow up and be responsible for what you owe to the country.
Now that I have it off my chest, either you can get it imported from outside and leave it to destiny how the phone reaches you; ask someone you know abroad to buy it and get it along for you or wait till its launched in India so you can LEGALLY buy it by paying the full amount owed for the phone .... And please keep your anti-national drivel off these boards the next time. Hating your country is sooooo 1970s!!!
I've shipped quite a lot of expensive stuff, and normal stuff to India, mainly Chennia but also to Pune via couriers such as DHL and it's always got there. Post / airmail is a different matter - I just wouldn't trust it, for some of the reasons you mention. In my experience as long as a good courier is used then you will be OK.
Clove etc are quite right in not being able to guarantee delivery to you or custom charges, these are completely outside of their control. Importing stuff into the UK can be the same - sometimes I've been charged, sometimes not, and that's without trying to dodge the import tax. You should expect to pay the import duty and add that to how much to plan to spend on the phone if you want to get it before it's sold in India.
As the previous poster seems to suggest there are legal restrictions preventing you importing the phone then you may want to think twice or get someone from the UK to buy it for you and send it out.
India's not such a bad place there are plenty worse.
P.S I understand you're frustration, I know many people that feel the same as you.

You're guaranteed to get it on time with DHL. They don't mess around. The only thing is that I am almost certain you will have to pay customs unless the depot is lazy.

i think i have right to express what i feel. this is a community forum & it has several members...and moreover india is not urs only... it belongs to all of us who are residing in here...moreover, being a citizen of this country, i have legal right to express what is good & what is bad in this country, which is an effort to improve the standards which are prevalent in this country as a plague & not in any way to degrade the value of my own country....
i hope i have conveyed what i meant by those words to you now.... stop judging people so impatiently, dont jump to conclusions right away buddy... nobody likes here to listen to the preachings from other members unless they r so morons to do it intentionaly... got it ???
keeping my responses to ur false allegations aside, i have mentioned it clearly in the post that is there anyone who has imported a parcel like mobile phone from UK to INDIA. i was expecting answers from people who have done what i was asking for, not that we r having a debate about the system/conditions in INDIA....
waiting for a genuine response from a valid members who care to help me rather than preaching me how to behave on public forums. i hope no one expects such treatments from other members... i assume all are well behaved and well educated here... thanks for giving me an opportunity to express my views on this issue...

I would assume it to be the same as people found when trying to import Nexus Ones and iPads to the UK. When they could be bothered, the customs charged them the VAT and some got it through without paying the VAT. I am sure I have read it on one of the other forums that a guy shipped a Nexus One through DHL from US to UK and the DHL guys asked him to come and collect it as he had not paid the VAT on the phone.

I really couldn't tell you. I know DHL charge a small fee (€4 over here) of their own if they have to collect customs charges but since i've never been to India I can't really tell you how much you'll pay in customs.

thanks buddy... i will try ordering it tomorrow.... lets see what happens at customs. i will pay extra 2.5k INR if the customs officials ask me.... what to do, i need to compromise to get the things what i want right ???
Sure I mentioned this to you before, but here we go again. I ordered mine from Clove and shipped it with their express to Pune. They Use Fedex not DHL. I did get my parcel within 3 days. It had been opened for customs check, but nothing tampered with. Did have to pay around INR 6000 on delivery for the local delivery service and the Customs duty fees. Good luck

Hi all,
Just out of interest and for any future defects / issues.
Thought I would start a poll on where you sourced your Rhodium.
Would be intersting to see how this develops, I'll start another later in the week to record poor customer service and another to track defects.
Those of you that select other, could you please post in the thread to let us know where (if you don't mind telling) you sourced it from.
Cheers,
Beasty
Whilst mobilephonesdirect seemed quick and efficient with the ordering process, their '3 months free insurance' is a pain in the rear. I already have adequate insurance through my LloydsTSB bank account (nice perk), not to mention my home contents policy also covers it, even out and about. MPD make it hard to scrap the insurance, or make it easy to forget somehow! If I forget, it's £6 per month direct debit. Now I gotta go through the cancellation process and explain to their sales team that I'm already covered and I'm happy with it, blah blah...
2 FROM Clove UK.
best price around and next day delivery from UK to channel islands for £10.
and...£25 voucher .
MPD
very good service and next day delivery. customer service was good so overall was happy. i use online banking quite alot so once DD for insurance is set up i will cancel. 3 months free is good actually but not needed if you already have cover
i got mine from MPD i seen the 3 months free insurance on the bill but nothing about having after that or a charge
whats the crack do you just phone up and cancel

You'll get a letter through the post confirming it. Got mine today. Lots of small print and cba to read it all, but it does say you can phone them up to cancel. Just be prepared for the sales pitch
In Montreal, at www.cellengros.com
They're quite a bunch of crazy fellas, but they do deliver. Mine arrived a week late, tho, they said problems with customs. But all in all, they have great service when you're friendly, if not, well you're screwed.
Seriously. These guys are crazy I tell you. But you should not have any problems. They always delivered when needed.

Faria,
What's the deal with this £25 voucher of which you speak?
Can that be used to reduce the cost of TP2, or do you get it after purchasing to spend on next purchase?
I'm VERY close to just buying a TP2 without contract so I can stay on my current O2 simplicity plan. But it ain't cheap! £25 less might just seal the deal...
Do people reckon that the outright cost will drop when the networks start to offer it on contract?

Hi Orb,
Glad to see you are still hanging around here.
I doubt people would be too happy to advertise how much they much they paid for theirs. I had mine on pre-order from Expansys for £500, but canceled it when MPD released their deals. I ended up paying £24 for the device on a 18 month contract with TMob, £35 / month 700 minutes, unlimited web and texts.
Others feel free to advertise what bargains / deals you got with yours too.
Perhaps for future devices, if we have enough users that are interested in Sim free deals, we may be able to negotiate a decent discount based on bulk orders from one of the suppliers.
Take care my friend
Cheers,
Beasty
from handtec.co.uk ..... international shipping to Qatar
total cost with shipping 475 str pound = about 783 usd
I got mine from talkthisway.de - unbranded version in combination with a new contract with t-mob.
Usual it costs there 559€, about 782 USD
Got mine in Holland from smartphonestunts.nl with T-Mobile subscription extension. I guess the prices in Holland are about the same with most (internet)stores, since it is still very new, but I got a free car usb charger so I decided to go for this one.
By the way isn't it strange that there are some people that take the time to vote on the poll, but give the answer "not telling"..... that seems a waste of cpu cycles to me.
clove.co.uk... had it first
Hi Everyone,
I was thinking that given the size of our community, I might be able to negotiate group discounts on new devices (especially pre-orders of upcoming devices). My goal would be to get the cheapest price possible from a reputable online retailer. I know lots of sites all over the web use stores or affiliate links to make a few extra bucks; this would be more about getting the best deal for you... if xda were getting anything out of it, I would make sure that was 100% clear.
Does this interest you guys at all? I have no idea how large of a discount I could get (maybe only 5- 10%), but I wanted to gauge the interest before I tried.
How many of you actually plan on pre-ordering one of the new HTC devices? Which one?
Thx!
Well, it depends on if AT&T decides to carry this phone or not. There's no point in ordering it if AT&T will eventually subsidy it for a lower cost. I have two lines that are (both) out of contract-- and I'm looking to make a major upgrade for me & the wife.
So, if AT&T doesn't hook me up, sign me up for two. But, seriously, send me a message if you make any progress.
I want this phone extremely bad. I can't make any commitment until I know it will be offered on Tmobile in the US with our goofy bands and whatnot.
I would be interested if the device would be released on ANY North American 3g bands.
I just can't live without data on my phone for much longerr

Ditto! ...ordered mine a week ago. I haven't told the wife yet as I haven't found the right time to break it to her as we're supposed to be clearing our credit cards and paying her parents back this year!
I actually go out of may way to be different and yesterday stumbled across the silver version on PDAshop.nl/.be and Smartphoneshop.nl/.be and took a fancy to it - they're the only places in Europe offering it too. I asked for a quote to ship to the UK and was all set to cancel my order with Clove but they refuse to ship outside the Netherlands or Belgium. Then I realized they are both the same company and their sites are mirrors of each other which instantly raises my suspicions ...why would the same company trade as two different competing entities if they didn't have something to hide I think.

Am thinking of ordering one of these phones. Currently own a 3GS on O2.
Can pre order with mobiles.co.uk . Looking at T-Mobs Web 600 tariff at £30 per month.
Can I ask what, if any, limits T-Mob have with regards to data usage.I currently use Slingplayer on my 3GS, along with radio streaming, use Youtube a fair bit.Would I have any problems doing this with T-Mob(I understand they took the YT app off of their HD2s?), assuming of course that Slingplayer gets released for Android?

When I swapped my 3GS for HD2 I bought the HD2 so I could put my o2 sim straight in it.. Didn't want to loose the o2 data allowance from the iphone contract. And will be doing the same with the Desire.
Yeah, suppose I could do the same.Just get a cheaper tariff .Or else wait and buy a locked one?from O2?
Am currently on the £20 Simplicity for iPhone tariff.I thought they knew if the SIM was being used in a phone other than an iPhone?

it didnt show any error while filling out the address & they do have india as destination in international countries list where they could be shipping the goods.. i am worried whether my parcel gets struck anywhere, i mean at the customs or while crossing international borders, will they search what is the content of the parcel or will i get this parcel from UK in good condition without any tax being imposed on it from the courier guys/customs....

WOW !!! thats pretty straight forward.... they do have service in India. but what i wanna know is will there be any problem in recieving the parcel in good condition without paying an extra money otherthan online payment is what i am asking here....
if there is anyone who has recieved this in india without any problem, i want to know that.. thats all man...
how would clover know the difficulties once they ship out the parcel until we tell them... and moreover, they have specified it clearly in their website that local officials /rules cannot be ruled out in price variation... i thought they may ask more money to deliver the goods.... thats worrying me... thats all..
anyway thanks for other useful information....
they are the best along with handtec. and devicewire...

Hey OP, your concern is not with Clove. Your concern is about the customs and procedures of shipping to India.
Is Clove safe? Yes. But once your package is shipped, Clove can't guarantee you anything.
It would be wise for you to change the thread subject to "Any difficulties ordering device overseas and shipping to India?" You might get more useful replies that way.
one doubt i have, will the courier people allow custom officials to manipulate with the parcel ??? i mean if the parcel is well below 500gms, will they check it & put duties ???
because, i have imported few things weighing around 100gms from US, & it has not been verified by the customs... so i dont think parcels seal will be open by the officials.... they might have an agreement with the cargo people i guess....
is there anyone who has hands on experience with these things ????
I ordered one and it came in 2 days. I am in Cyprus BTW....
anyone who got this device from UK in India.... please share ur experiences....
i am really worried.... whether to book it or not.... please tell me is it going to be delivered to me without any customs difficulties ???
I buy a Desire from Clove,no problem .

Hi!
First of all, I hope I'm in the right forum...
If this is not the right forum for this thread, please move it.
I want to buy a white One X (int.) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Someone know where I can buy it there? I want a store that will let me open the device, and check there are no build issues, and a low price. (If I'm right, I should get a 16% tax refund because I'm a tourist from outside EU)
Thanks for helpers!
The phonehouse should have unbranded phones and proper DOA services, but they are expensive...
i got lost in there site... didn't find the one x on the search.
someone knows more stores?
if you are staying in Amsterdam for a few days, order it online. there aren't many shops with the hox in stock except maybe as mentioned the phonehouse but they are expensive. I ordered mine from midi media, cheapest in the Netherlands (only e513 including delivery) but the phone is Vodafone branded .
check this site: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/
i would be there for only 3 days.
but it will be in 2 month, you don't think it will be in stock?
EDIT: does midimedia has a store in Amsterdam? if so, what is it? (i cant read their site, and google translate dont want to translate it )

I went looking for one this week and the shops I wanted to buy from (ie. were not much more expensive than the best internet deals) did not have any in stock. Maybe you can place an order and check out the phone. I can recommend mycom, I bought many product from them, tried them out, decided I did not like those products and got my money back without hassles (even after opening all the packaging)

i cant order from the internet to israel, because when it will get here ill have to pay at least 16% tax.
and midimedia is much cheaper...
have it delivered to your address in amsterdam
also the new government in holland (already dubbed the butt **** coalition (sorry mods, that's what the new coalition is dubbed)) decided to raise VAT from a whopping 19% to an unbelievable 21% , so you will likely have to pay even more. Why not get the device back home?
(edit: vat probably won't matter a lot because you might get a refund, okay than preorder it from mycom to get it from the store of your choosing)
bought my white One-X at Belcompany in Eindhoven, no problems with the phone, build date 28 march 2012
in the stores, they're always more expansive than online
First of all our vat is currently 19% rather than 16% as mentioned. I got mine from marktplaats.nl (like Craigslist), brand new in an unopened box from a guy that got it with his corporate renewal for €400, not kidding. You'll have to go pick it up at someone's private house though and be prepared for some haggling.
Make sure you call ahead and ask if the seller has the receipt that states the imei. If it doesn't, leave it as it's likely stolen. You might still be able to get the vat back at the port of exit if the receipt is recent enough (most people that get a renewal put the phone on marktplaats the same day they get it). Make sure the receipt doesn't state the buyer's name, which it mostly doesn't.
Good luck. I get all my phones this way, no problems so far. We're a pretty decent and friendly people ;-)

if there is any problem with the device, who gives me the warranty? HTC? i mean if i have yellow spot or something like that, i need to send the device to HTC?
My order date is 9/22 opted for free ground shipping. Order still says processing. Anyone from Negrielectronics get a tracking no. yet?
I ordered the 18th and nothing - their site now lists expected shipping as 10/4 for the black Note 3.
Between tax and other fees buying from t-mobile locally, it still seems worth it to wait, though it's annoying it'll probably be early next week at the earliest to get these phones.
Most likely will ship Saturday or Monday for everyone. Hopefully we get them by next Thursday. But it's worth the wait for the price, just a little jealous from all the people who already have theirs.
I only pre-ordered mine today, but I was able to use a coupon code (NE20OFFCART) for an extra $20 off. If you guys didn't know about that, you might still be able to get them to apply it before it is charged to your account.

Gosh darn it! Sassafrass!!!
Maybe they are going to be backordered, and 10/10 is when it is estimated to be available for anyone who is going to order from now on. Just a thought, but most likely not true.

Note 3 T-Mobile
Hello All!
We will be making a dedicated post for the Note 3 T-Mobile info. You will be able to follow this and be updated as to when your order is expected to ship on a general basis. http://www.negrielectronics.com/blog/
Right now we expect stock to arrive any day. What this means exactly is that T-Mobile has released the device, but into limited markets and stock is slowly making their way to us through various other channels. We changed the expected date to "coming soon". It seems people became very upset with us changing our "estimated" dates - they thought it was more so "set in stone'. It's not. It's an estimate and always will be, that's why we use that rhetoric.
You are upset the device is delayed - but we are more upset. We have 250+ orders to fill and 250+ disgruntled customers - you only have one person to tame.
The blog will be updated today with this same information. The good news is that you orders are all safe, uncharged and are still in the order in which they were received. You can cancel at any time, and pick up the device at your local T-Mobile shop for $70-$120 more than on our site; or you can wait for us to get and ship the stock we have expected in the next few days. Either way we just want you happy. If we are able to provide you with the device - great. If not, as long as you get what you want, and are happy, we can not be upset.
We are doing everything we can to get these as soon as possible, with you in mind.
Please check Twitter and the blog for updates on this device and many others that we have coming in.
Thank you for your comments here. We hope that we have answered your questions.
Also, the devices are opened and unlocked. Remote unlocking is only available on iPhones at this time. We are very careful when handling the devices, as our CEO requires that our warehouse staff wear protective gloves when handling and unlocking devices.
Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend.
Thanks for the official answers.

Class Act Negri!
Some people are going crazy over not getting their device as fast as possible. Patience is a virtue, and for your amazing price, I will gladly wait. Please don't take what some of these people say personally, because for many of us, we are really appreciating your hard work!

Thank you for your continued patience. We have great news! We are shipping some of the earliest orders today! We are going through stock as we speak and will begin to process shipping in the next 3-4 hours. We can not disclose which orders are shipping first, but if you get tracking tonight – you were one of the first! Good news for all other pre-orders – your order is confirmed at the lower price, and stock is beginning to come in on a daily basis.
We have increased our price. Why? Because our cost is higher. All orders placed prior to the price increase will be charged the lower pre-order price! All new orders would need to pay the new price. (One of the many benefits of Pre-Ordering).

I was going to preorder one today. I added it to cart for 689.50 and then when I went to checkout, the price just increased to 729.50. WTF?????Can the price change in my cart? The price just changed when I was creating my account.

It's the same thing with any other retailer, minus a few. Unless you've made the purchase, it's always susceptible to price changes.
