I want to buy a galaxy nexus from the play store...
I have managed to use a US ip in order to access the payment section, then I realized they seem to ship the phone worldwide.
So im really confused I thought this special fare was just for US citizens, anyone knows if I can really buy it and then they will ship it to Chile indeed?
Thanks
My understanding is they will only ship to the US.

I also tried using a VPN to access the Play Store from outside the USA and it worked, but I had to add a US shipping address (the one of my cousin), but then I found that my italian credit cards are not accepted as payment method, is it a Must to have US credit card? what if I want to send it to my cousin as a gift?

Hey guys!
Thanks for all the replies!
I actually got it from a website in my city, the lady delivered it the same day.

hi guys, i wanna order htc desire online from clove.co.uk with international shipping to india. the site even says that it ships internationally to india with 2 modes of delivery.
1. international signed mail-£24
2.DHL international courier- £30
i am worried whether to order online to ship desire to india or should i give the US address while ordering & get it from any of my friends who will be visiting india in june.....
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....
i am worried about the availability of the parcel in india.... please throw some light on this issue... otherwise, pricewise i dont have any issue. its the best deal i could get online at present.....
please anyone reply to my all queries....

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 .

hey buddy, i had the same question, i want to order an xperia z to mexico and in the faq from clove you can find a recommended import duty & taxes calculator, the page is called dutycalculator dot com and it's awesome, you just put where are you importing from and where into, the device/thing youre importing, its value, and it estimates the importing taxes that you have to pay for it. hope that works for you

Hey. Can you please share your experience about the shipping. Was there any problem?
I am planning to order a Sony Xperia XZ Premium from clove.co.uk and the checkout page shows the final amount as £566.83 (Including FEDEX INT COURIER)
Please could you confirm whether the above mentioned shall be the final amount payable. Or shall I be liable to pay any extra amount in terms of Import Duty or Tax.

Vikram
Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution!
Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:
handtec [dot] co [dot] uk
It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).
It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661
Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.
I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).
Cheers!

Erm, unless you're a company and can claim VAT back, you'll be paying £500 for that phone, not £419...

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.
If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.
And 419GBP is ~487EUR (not 418).
I wish I could order it, but I know I would end up paying half it's price in taxes anyways.
Handtec have always been great for me - usually quite a bit cheaper thanks Clove as well.

Yep I ordered mine from Handtec within hours of them putting it on the site, can't wait!
And no you don't pay VAT if you're not a UK citizen
i prefer clove co uk
because for extra 20 pound you get Smartphone Pre-Shipping Testing Service
Also
"if your product develops a fault within 14 days from the date of dispatch, we shall cover any return postage fees and rectify the situation to provide you with a fully working product."
Could I order from one of these sites and use it on T-Mobile US? Does this version support the AWS band? Also would I end up paying way too much?
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just looking for a way to get the phone sooner. Because no one really knows when the HSPA+ version will come out in the states. I was guessing not until next year. Hopefully sooner.

Hey guys,
I was thinking about getting the Galaxy Nexus directly from Google through the Play Store. Are there different versions around or will it also work here in Germany?
Thanks!
Yes its the same. It's unlocked and will work anywhere in the world. The Play Store only ships to the US though. Have to buy from a different importer, or from a phone shop in Germany.
There's nothing special about the Play Store version though... it just has Google Wallet preloaded, that's it.
Alright, thanks! I have an American friend who would get me one.

The question is, why would you go through all that trouble? It's not like it's cheaper. If customs opens the package and that's very likely, it'll end up costing you even more than in any local MediaMarkt who are selling them for around 360€.

Its gonna be more expensive to have them buy it in the US + tax + shipping, then pay to ship it to you + customs (potentially).
Just buy it directly and have it shipped to Germany.

Well, right now there is no better price than buying it in the U.S. and importing it, in my opinion. The phone will be about $380 including tax and shipping. This is 310 Euros. Tax for delivery to Germany will be about 40 Euros. So it is 350 Euros effectively.
I can't find any store that sells the Nexus for this price in Germany right now. Do you?
And which U.S. store is selling the Nexus at a comparable price that will ship to Germany?

I would recommend taking a look at this article, I would imagine eventually it will be sold there through Amazon. One possible way around this is do you have any family or friends in the USA who would be willing to buy it and ship it to you? If that's not an option what you can do is use a service like this where you can buy the item on Amazon, ship it to them, and then they will forward it along to you in a couple days of shipping time.

A US-based VPN service would be a good way around that.
Honestly, I'd stay away from it for now.
I just got one (I'm Canadian), and I've setup a US based DNS that I use for Netflix, etc. on all my other devices and I still get content unavailable errors. I can't even *install* netflix without sideloading it right now.
This isn't ready to be used in Canada, go get an Android stick or a Google TV for now (I'm still using my Hisense Pulse's because the FireTV is so broken in Canada right now).
Luckily I had to get one for some development work so I'm not that disappointed, but don't buy this yet and expect it to work well in Canada, even with a US VPN/DNS...
Do you think us canadians will get the firmware updates from Amazon with a canadian IP?
