They should have sent you an email and instructions on how to verify your purchase. A couple security questions.

I ordered mine from Clove on Sunday, February 16. I then got the email about the document they needed for security. I replied immediately. When I woke up on Monday, I had two emails from them saying that the order was completed and another one with the shipping information. I chose the more expensive shipping option from DHL and am able to track every single step of the transit.

For those who have recieved it, were you charged any customs/duties fees?
Has anyone shipped one out to Canada from Clove? Debating ordering today!!

I ordered mine on Sunday evening 2.16.14 from Clove.UK, they asked for verification in email, I replied right away and got my Z1C today 2.19.14 at noon in USA with DHL. Great service.
No additional custom fees or anything, just the price I paid on Clove web site.

I got mine from handtec I actually preordered it in January and it shipped the day they got them in stock, its the second phone I ordered from them with no problems

well something is wrong then .. i didnt get any mail like that, only
Your order from Clove Technology has been processed successfully mail.
nothing about security documents or shipping info. ordered on 14, payment fully processed on 16th. i chose DHL on checkout too. i guess i need to mail them about it .. as you guys got it in few days.
i ordered black model, they report only the lime one to be out of stock.

I ordered my black one on the 12/13 got my email the next day had to juggle with the security part since my bank is a pain... Got clearance Tuesday shipped that evening and now its in the US with delivery of tomorrow =D

I got mine just fine after verification, and back and forth with my credit card company. Real pita, but got it shortly thereafter...
Happy so far, other than bugs found in the dual loader software, but good thing I use linux normally to work around it.

I wan to buy two z1 compact from handtech or clove. Anybody has problem when they get it more than one device?

I preordered two from Clove back in Jan. My items shipped on Feb 4th and received both device in one package on Feb 7th. Clove and Handtec are very high reputable companies. Ive been using Clove for over 10 years and Hantec for about 5. No issues whatsoever.

Do handtec need the same verification as clove?
Im on the ping pong game with the authorization code with citi bank and clove.
the thing is, handtec says they will not charge me until it ships, while clove already charged my account and did not shop it yet .. they still require the check.

Clove is running a special that includes the DK32 dock free with purchase of the Z1 Compact. Got me to bite.

I hope they say yes, let us know. Its the official dock after all, why turn down the offer.
In meanwhile, amazon.com listed the Z1 Compact too.

Experiences with VAT and DHL when Ordering Mi Max from Aliexpress?

Hi,
I was wondering you anyone has order from Any sellers from Aliexpress, thinking primarily of Top-One, Goldway to europe. I know some sellers have relay services to get it toll free into EU (although it's a moot point for me since I live in Norway).
What are your experiences especially shipping with DHL? Did it go painlessly?
How are your experiences with DHL and customs?
Do chinese sellers declare low value? If so, does it get stopped in customs?
Should I explicitly ask to declare normal value in order to not have customs problems?

Hi,
I live in Germany and received my Mi Max today. It was sealed and everything went fine.
I ordered exactly one week ago from Top-One via DHL.
I have no idea how the handle / pay / go around customs but it works.
I can recommend this seller. :good:

I want recommended Top One as well fast delivery with DHL to UK.

Hello i live in germany too, i order always from top one.. Its a great seller and ships very fast. If you live in germany.. Smartphones and tablets are duty free.. I ordered mine today on xiaomi device website.. Mi max 128gb 4gb ram for 390 dollar.. Next week will it arrive.. I will make a video review and post it here.. The reason why I didn't ordered it from ali express is that there is no 128gb 4gb ram bundle

Toll charges comes about a week later in a letter from DHL.

DHL always charge you for the tax. Their policy prohibits the sellers from under-marking the item value and they calculate it in advance rather than waiting for the UK, Germany, France etc to review the shipment and apply any charges.
The seller could technically get around it by creating a second invoice with a lower value and using that for the customs paperwork but then can complicate matters when it comes to returns and other things.

Ordering from TopOne has no problems with VAT or anything else. They send the phone from HK to UK, and sign for it. Then they package it and send it to an address inside EU. Confirmed with 3 phones so far.

Yeah unfortunately their prices are a little expensive for my taste though. Including shipping the phone costs around $30-40 more from them than it does from any other seller.

My mi Max was $303 for 64gb version so I think this was a good price considering every other store was around 340-370 when I was getting it and shipping around 50.
Shipping on TopOne was 26 every time.
So all in all it was a good deal.

No problems. 220€ + 24€ for dhl shipping, fast and smooth from Aliexpress to Finland.

Mi Max
I ordered my Mi Max from xiaomidevice on a Monday and got it the following Monday using DHL..came a day earlier as Tuesday was suppose to be the delivery date..glad I was home to pick it up

My buddys family goes back and forth to China and they picked me up a 128GB Helium for $313 USD.

I ordered from Carry-it electronics with DHL. Major error!
They didnt declare anything so i had to pay 46 euros to dutch customs first to even get my phone.
Afther 7 weeks now the phone went completely black.... Dead. It still was stock..... On directions of Carry it i took it to local phone store...15 euros to check it. Mainboard defect! Not repairable by them. Carry it doesnt believe me so they avoid any responsibility. I should sent it back and make more costs... No way. First make more costs to customs because of their error.... Then 15 euros to check the phone... And then ship it anyway......
Folks.... Don't do business with Carri-it

I ordered from my Mi Max from Top One, price I think was 272 dollars total, to Czech Republic. 64GB version. Very smooth transaction, received it one week later via DHL, no customs, no hassle, they even put Google Play on it. Would gladly deal with them again.
Issue right now is that out of the box I know they don't support all the LTE bands in Europe and I am trying to find if someone has a patch that will unlock them. I am getting about 12Mb/sec, which while not as bad as my first test which as a horrible 1MB, still far from what LTE can be. Outside of that, what a great phone, easy on the eyes, fast, and great battery.
Phone came with 7.32 or something MIUI. Unless the MIUI that is out there includes more LTE bands, I am not going to chance updating right now, just my preference.

Officially MI max 128gb GB is not available.. Can anyone recommend be a website in Hong Kong where I can buy MI max 128gb? Plus some accessories

How to get it from UK?

Guys,
Is it available for sale already? Lot of reviews on Youtube, so I assume its available for sale in some countries already. Where from it can be imported to UK? On AliExpress its only pre-sale.

It is available from O2 in the UK.
There are a few Pop-Up store events on the 21st November from 2pm, where you can buy it first.
You can also pre-order for delivery or collection from the 22nd November.
It is not available anywhere else, and I believe the phones are sold unlocked, but if brought out-right require the purchase of a £15 sim, or available with a contract (which is what I pre-ordered today as I upgraded my contract)

I want unlocked as I`m un EE. Where can I see the list of pop up stores? Order from where?

I ordered it from www.o2.co.uk - it arrived today and is unlocked. Working perfectly with a Three SIM.

Perfect. Will pop into O2 store to check it out and buy it on the spot if I like it. Bye bye S8.
What`s your feedback on the device? Like it?

Has Anyone Had a 6GB/128GB model ship from China yet?

Nothing yet on the blue one I ordered

I just bought it today in China (Beijing) at a Xiaomi store. It's fantastic.

Nobody has had a 6GB/128GB model ship yet then? Some people recieved notes on their orders saying it would ship on Friday. I recieved one 10 days ago saying it would ship next Wednesday.

I've given up on Aliexpress. I had 3 separate orders with Mi Global, HKG and Mi Store and they're useless at replying to messages and they won't give me a solid date for dispatch.
I've followed TechTablets' (YouTuber) advise and gone with Trading Shenhzen as they have stock of the 128GB gold/white model. The price + postage worked out a smidge higher but they actually respond to messages and they give you the option of the Chinese ROM or that bootleg "global" ROM. They're already processing my order which is fantastic considering I only ordered a few hours ago.

Black and Blue models out of stock there aswell though, cant stand gold phones.

I'm still waiting on my black 6gb/128gb from Mi Global Store on AliExpress. Ordered July 30. Haven't had any replies after they offered to compensate the delay with a free mi band 3. Basically, they, like the rest, did a pre-sale since this version only went live officially on August 10th on Xiaomi's website. I waited this long, so I'll keep waiting for a few more days. No other place has black or blue. I'm not a fan of white/gold either.

Yep, I spoke to geekbuying. They don't get their pre-order stock until August 15th, so I think that's when online 6gb/128GB start shipping.

Yes, Trading Shenhzen is the best shop IMO. Hong Kong Goldway at Aliexpress use to be great but not anymore.

I have mine being shipped to me now. I was able to buy it off China's biggest e-commerce website taobao, and have it shipped to me in Malaysia. Logistics is going to take some time, and I hope I can get it within a week or two.

All Mi Max 3 will have those bands. You can buy / preorder from AliExpress, Gearbest, Geekbuying, Honorbuy, etc., etc.
BUT currently only the Chinese ROM is available, global ROM is rumoured to be released soon.

All,
I pre-ordered the OnePlus 8 Pro 12GB RAM 256GB Storage and OnePlus is showing expected dispatch today and expected delivered tomorrow (I paid for the premium delivery). I have a notification from DPD that they are expecting to collect (notification was at 0351 lol). It is neither showing as dispatched by OnePlus nor received by DPD. I am not confident of getting it tomorrow. Anyone else in the same boat??

My order is with amazon and got delivery date for tomorrow. Still waiting for dispatch but Amazon Logistics can take up to 1am to dispatch.

Got my dispatch note about 30 mins ago. On the way to Stoke apparently so I'm as confident as I can be at this point!

I ordered my OnePlus 8 on 14th, got it on the 16th in UK. Ordered direct from OnePlus website.

only those who ordered direct will get it anytime soon
amazon messed up and been advertising delivery on 21st when they had n stock.
now they saying May 2nd for stock and 9th for delivery.

I returned my S20+ in favour of getting the 8 Pro.
Even with the your student discount, I wouldn't consider it because you'll still be getting Samsung's crappy Exynos with poor prolonged load performance due to throttling and poor battery life.

yeah Exynos Samsung phones are not worth it.
I just dislike the Software. Much better then it was but prefer the kind of development Pixels and OP phones get

Hello pal, how are your? Did you go green? I did. It was either onyx black 128 8GB
Or
Glacial green 256 12GB
I think you know which way I went .
I do feel a little camp, but as soon as people see my firsts and the scars all over them I think I'll be fine
How are you finding it? I'm so impressed, it's an incredible device, I love the OnePlus launcher but I want to add 7 icons on the bottom.
Absolutely quality device, my first SOT was 9 hours.
Camera is ridiculously good. The stability is just the nuts, the 30x zoom is dumb, but stay within X10 and it's immaculate
Going to do some gaming tests and what HDMI works and what doesn't soon, I just got home from a day in the office and then made a bloody bar in the kitchen.
Lost 4% overnight the first night
I'm aiming for 1% tonight then I can get a true SOT
