[Q] Buying online from US - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the problem, In Turkey due to taxing policy electronics is really expensive. A relative of my friends live in US and they're coming here next month. So I'll buy it online and show adress as theirs and they'll get me one. The problem is I don't know any online retailers in US except amazon. So is there any online shops you could reccommend. thanks in advance.

Suggestions for a UK non-ebay/paypal supplier for XDAI parts

Hi there, I need to replace my pointer for my XDAI and I'm also interested in getting one of the 'piggy-back' batteries as well.
But due to losing my job my ebay account (& unpaid fees) my ebay account was shut down so I wondered whether anyone can tell me if there are any shops that operate from the UK where I can buy either face-to-face or pay over the phone.
I had a look around on ebay but it seemed that all the listings for parts referred to the later XDA's.
Any suggestions of a shop or two, UK only mind you.
Thanks, Charles

[Q] [UK] Cheapest Place to get the Galaxy Nexus Sim Free

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).

buy HOX in Amsterdam

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 ;-)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
sorry im bumping up this thread....

Buy a new Galaxy Note 7 in Madrid

Hi Guys,
I will travel to Madrid end of the next week (1st September-3rd September) and will spend 3 days as a tourist. As I see the Note 7 is cheaper in Spain than Budapest so I decided I will buy one during my holiday. Please give me an advice where can I buy this phone. I visited Media Mark web page but maybe there are cheaper solutions for me. Warranty is important I don't want to order via internet so I prefer the personal pick up.
Thank you
TB
Any suggestion?
My suggestion is don't do it.
If you have a problem with an imported mobile the Samsung importer of the country you reside in may decide its your problem? You would then need to travel again to Spain to resolve the situation, that would be financially disastrous.
Pay the extra and have peace of mind. I NEVER make a major purchase while abroad unless I am prepared to write it off in the case of developing a problem. Its just not worth the hassle.
If you insist I can name several stores that will sell you the mobile with pleasure. Its very much at your own risk though. OH and I know all about the international and European warranties. They are very well written but often very poorly implemented. Again, Caution.

PS. Amazon.es may have them in stock soon, that would be mail order but you would have 14 days to return it and two years warranty that Amazon will abide by.

OnePlus 5t Shipping

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/
