Is it still the cheapest to buy GNex from Clove.uk now?

I am in US so shipping from there is <$700 now,
is it still the cheapest now?
Will it be cheaper after 12/9 that the canadian version had come out?

Who knows if you'll have to pay customs fees... I paid the extra $50 ($764) to go with a US reseller but they're being sketchy at the moment... See my post (Negri Electronics is being sketchy).
I'd say go US but maybe not Negri.. I'm sure everything is fine but still... You could pay more than you think with credit card international fees and customs fees depending on the shipping company they use.
EDIT -- I JUST GOT MY SHIPMENT NOTIFICATION!! WHOOOOO

International pricing is pretty firm. The UK prices aren't going to be effected by whatever happens in the rest of the world. A lot of folks in the UK and EU buy their phones outright so demand is what drives pricing. The SGS2 stayed pretty firm for about four months and then started to drop a bit. It's still over $500 having been out since May. If you're importing, don't look for bargains and sales because they don't exist (through legitimate resellers). I've bought from both Clove and Handtec and was pleased with both.

Found this: http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG_NEXUS-PRIME-TITANIUM-SILVER.HTML These guys are located in Chicago and selling for $724.99. Supposedly these prices are wholesale to the public. Anyone ever dealt with this retailer before?

how much is it gonna be in Canadian GSM version?

I imported from clove.uk to the US and they were great service. Shipped on a Wednesday, got here that Friday.
Though I must say, it shipped with DHL and the packaging was kinda sketchy for a $700 dollar electronic device. It was in a plastic DHL bag and the box the phone came in was just wrapped in fine-bubble bubble wrap. No damage and it works fine, but still kinda irked me when I saw it.

I ordered two GNs from clove which arrived today. No import duties. I have a thread in this forum showing the current policy regarding importing cellphones to the US (with documentation from the corresponding government agencies).
As for the packaging, I too am a little disappointed that they only used bubble wrap and a dhl bag. The corners of the boxes where slightly damaged; however, the phone itself was fine.

I preordered mine from Handtec and the experience was awesome. I ended up paying around $700 total and somehow the phone got to me within one day!!! It was awesome to see that tracking from Fedex on the day it was shipped telling me it would be at my doorstep by the very next day before 10:30am... now that's fast, especially coming from Europe!

Popular Electronics, which is right next door to Overseas Electronics has it for $699 in store - cash only. I plan to go there this week and buy myself one. $700 is the cheapest I've seen it go for. I've bought a phone and sold a phone from them before so they're legit.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/108564/IMG_4995.PNG
I decided to email Popular electronics about the Galaxy Nexus and it seems like they're willing to bargain about the tax. Chicago has ridiculous tax at 9.75% so the phone would have been $767.15. With a simple email, they were willing to do $710 flat. I'm sure when a little more persuasion, I could get them to $700 or throw in a free case. Just a heads up to all the Chicagoans. Probably pick this up this weekend.

Don't you find it kinda shady that they're cash only and are willing to negotiate to remove sales tax? lol. I'm sure its fine. Just sayin'.

That does seem odd that they have a cash only policy. Really weird for an electronics store. Maybe they have a no receipt policy too.
But back on topic, I just bought my nexus from clove last night. Order is processing and now it's just a waiting game!

When paying with cash, it's always considered under the table. They probably don't file their taxes legally so it helps them when people pay in cash. Good for both parties. They're a small electronics store, nothing huge but they do carry the latest phones.
Not sure about the receipt policy, probably isn't one but as long as it's brand new, I'll be happy.

You forget about the third party. The government and all society that utilizes tax money. (Including yourself)
Taxes are there for a reason and should not be avoided by dodgy business practices.
I would check the phone out in-store to reduce your risk of having to return the device since you may not be able to.

Of course it will be checked.
Tell that to Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and so on. They all dodge taxes. What they're doing it is legal but it's effects you also. It always seems like when a little business does it, they should be shunned by their practice. The way they're doing it is probably illegal but it's still dodging taxes.

Don't assume that paying with cash is always considered under the table.
Another reason for the cash policy is that is removes the credit card processing fees for the transaction. Depending on their processor, it should be around $0.25 + 2% of the transaction amount. So on a $700 transaction, that is roughly $14.25.
(American Express' fees are around 3.5%, so the cost on that transaction is around $25).
If you are a retailer, that extra credit card fee hurts quite a bit. Think about that the next time you buy a pack of gum with your credit card.
http://truecostofcredit.com/378767
That being said, in this instance their's a good chance that this is under the table. I would much rather buy the phone on my Amex and get the additional warranty they provide. Also, why not just import it from clove for $670 rather than paying $700 cash? Makes no sense to me.

Availability/Cheaper in the Airport? (UK)

Just a quick one - I'm going to Germany on the 6th, think it's worth holding out on pre-ordering and seeing if they're in stock anywhere at Gatwick... think I'll save that much?

I don't know about UK but never saw a phone cheaper at duty free airports (middle east like Dubai) ... All the best if u can get it cheap
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

its not even necessarily the case that Dixons will have it in stock on the 6th in an airport shop. i'd definitely phone ahead before getting your hopes up

anywhere in the EU there's no more duty free
unless you go to Turkey or Middle East or something...sometimes prices @ airports are more expensive than retail stores downtown
online is your best bet

One answer: no.
Even in places where duty free still exists, the prices are normally higher than the with-duty price elsewhere. They prey on the gullible. About the only thing you save on is cigs and sometimes booze.

We don't pay VAT here, so the HTC Once x is £400... Have someone order it online to here, then have them ship it over to you.

...and unless you're very lucky and get away with it, have to pay the VAT yourself when it arrives in the UK.

Import VAT
VAT is a tax normally charged on the supply of goods (and services) made by a VAT - registered business in the UK. For goods brought in or sent to the UK from the EU there's no extra VAT to pay unless you're ordering or sending purchased goods from one of the EU Special Territories, such as Jersey or Guernsey, in which case you'll have to pay import VAT.
The EU 'Special Territories' are The Aland Islands (Finland), The Canary Islands (Spain), The Channel Islands (UK), The French Overseas Departments of Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Reunion and Mount Athos also known as Agion Poros (Greece).
Goods imported to the UK from outside the EU are subject to import VAT, unless they are brought in as part of your duty free allowances.
Import VAT rate
The percentage charged is the same VAT rate that applies to similar goods that are sold in the UK.
The import VAT percentage rate is applied to the total value of the goods. In the case of goods brought in this is the sterling equivalent of the price paid abroad, as shown on the receipt. In the case of goods posted from outside the EU, it is the amount on the Customs Declaration, which includes the price paid for the goods, the cost of transport, postage and packing, insurance and any duty that may be payable.
Introduction to VAT
Import VAT allowances
If you're posting goods to the UK, or ordering them from a non-EU country, you, or the importer only have to pay import VAT above a certain value - however please note that from 1 April 2012 all merchandise sent to the UK from the Channel Islands is subject to import VAT. The import VAT relief value is different if you're posting a gift.
Import VAT in different situations
You can find out more about how import VAT and other taxes, duties or restrictions apply in the guides on bringing or sending goods to the UK under 'More useful links'.

Need help from any Canadians that have ordered anything overseas.

I'm from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and really want to order the 5400mah extended battery by Mugen from Hong Kong. My mom long time ago has ordered a product that was advertised on T.V. but when the item gets to her doorstep, the UPS charges her like $60 on top of the shipping cost and the cost of the item (I have no idea how). Because of this event, I am very very afraid of the same event happening again. If anyone from Canada or specifically Vancouver have ordered anything from overseas like in Hong Kong, please share your experiences with your purchase. Thank you.

They always use the postal service and they always claim a lower amount to avoid duty or tax. In some instances you will need to pay ~$5 for brokerage fee and whatever the duty when customs deem you need to pay
If they use other carrier like UPS, FEDEX etc., they will charge ~$50 just for brokerage fee even when you buy a $10 item

The website says they'll use "First class Airmail," what's the charge on this then? So there's the brokerage fee AND then the duties on top? Thx again.

that has actually never happened to me before. you shouldn't be charged extra if you buy from Mugen and since its airmail there won't be any hidden fees.

From my experience, postal service charges $5 on brokerage fee. However, they don't charge that fee on all shipments. It is like depends on your luck. And that applies to customs duty too. But for item declared/insured under $40, there is definitely NO fee and duty.

Hi I'm from Vancouver as well
so far Ive never encountered any duties or brokerage on items shipped from overseas...even for items $400+
the only time Ive ever had an issue was when i ordered from the states....ordered a cellphone for $200, got dinged $100 for brokerage...never again. I'm assuming your mother ordered from the US as well?
Since then, anybig items, or anything over $100 in value,
i ship to Blaine or Point Roberts using one of their local postal services...
Drive across the border and pick up my package...never hassled for duties....In and out of the states within an hour, really simple

I was charged about $90 duty for the Note but I seldom have to pay any duties for any smaller items. Don't quote the $90 it is my guesstimate from what I remember but it was close to that.

buy via expansys. they ship by private carrier, so you won't get charged any duty fees.

Although I haven't bought from them personally, I know that Negri is a reputable seller that has been around for some time.
Isn't it cheaper to get the phone form T-Mo directly though?

Yes they are a reputable dealer, and yes direct from T-mobile is cheaper by $20-30.

I bought the original Note from them back in the days when it was first released.

That is actually incorrect. The fee is based on many different variables, all of which are covered in the store policies.
You may be referencing a return of a new release. In that case if you order a product at $800, and return it unused after 7 days, your restock fee is based on the current site price, time out of our possession and condition of exterior packaging and accessories within the box. If the price of the device happens to be $600, your restock fee would be close to 25%.
Restocking Fees are not used to generate profit for our business. We use restocking fees to recover costs incurred during shipping and receiving of returned items, as well as price changes that may have occured while the device was out of our possession and unable to be sold.
We are very transparent in everything we do. If there is an issue please contact us so that we can explain in greater detail. Please do not mislead XDA readers. When posting your issue, please provide further detail so that others may make a educated decision as to where to purchase their next device.
We apologize that you are upset, but we do have the store policies posted and do not assess fees as a form of punishment, or to generate profit. We can only hope that you read the policies and ask questions if you have them.

well, I guess this doens't apply to us who bought straight from htc huh? unlocked on whichever carrier we went with...and apparently within that time frame of july 12-31
still submitted my info though

HTC's site is very vague on this. Right on their homepage, it says $100 off the phone AND $100 off accessories. The "and" isn't ambiguous, in my opinion. But on another page on their site, it says "or $100 off accessories if you bought elsewhere".
Has anybody contacted HTC to get clarification on this?

Promo for US customers is on their website front page. $100 off and $100 credit when purchasing on HTC.com.

Perhaps you need some refresher courses in English. The wording is clear about the offer in question. It states that if you buy the device on htc.com, you get $100 off the price of the device as well as $100 towards accessories. It also states that if you bought the device elsewhere, like from a carrier, you only qualify for the $100 accessories promo.

Perhaps htc needs help with English because many people are saying they couldn't get both.
To me it said, in the fine print, I can get both but must activate on t-mobile, sprint or Verizon. Since I'm going at&t I guess not me, huh?
Maybe I should activate on my current Verizon plan first then before switching?

So, you need to:
Buy the device from the 3 US providers outlined above OR any authorized reseller (HTC.com purchases in US seems to be sold by Digital River)
Activate it on the 3 US providers (I assume by installing the SIM card on T-Mo or activating for Spring and VZW)
Submit the form before Sep 18

So I wonder.. How long do I need to be on Verizon to qualify? Certainly interesting if it's an easy $100 but I'd much prefer to be switched over to AT&T sooner than later so maybe I shouldn't mess around..

HTC just announced free jbl reflect aware USB C headphones + 100 coupon on accessories when you purchase the phone directly from them. The jbl sell for 200.
Sprint HTC 10 running BadBoyz

It seems early adopters are getting shafted as we paid the same and only got a $2 USB cable as "thanks". Now they're giving away $300 in stuff. Never again HTC, never again. I wanted to keep giving them chances, but it seems they don't care.

Early adopters always get shafted. That's what happens. When has a product not decreased in price six months after release?
You can buy a new Nexus 6P for $400 now. Did the people who spent $500+ get shafted?
And I doubt anybody is going to pay $199 for those headphones. Unless the reviews end up being amazing.

Early Adopters are not "shafted".
You got to use a beautiful and fast phone for 3+ months before any of the later adopters got to. You can be a "late adopter" as well and watch while everyone else gets the latest and greatest. Its a small price to pay to be "ahead" of the game.

I agree. I held out till the end of July just to get it cheaper. Sucked waiting but in the end I got it for 50$ US with a two year contract upgrade. I will be never purchasing an LG flagship ever again. HTC has never disappointed me.
