I'm not a local and I just want to buy the O+3 online and have it shipped to my address using a forwarding service. Wanting to know what online shops can be trusted and has an on-going sale.

bump?
Why dont you have it shipped from oneplus its site to the forwarding service ?
Amazon UK sells the OnePlus 3.
One plus site no stock
Amazon £100 more expensive
I wouldn't advise getting the phone anywhere else anyway. If something is wrong with the phone with those 3rd party resellers i doubt you have any hope of getting it exchanged.. The one site i used to but my xioami phones is ibuygou but they dont have it in stock either
Pandawill.com,to2c.com i got my oneplus one and oneplus 3 from to2.com.

I bought my Verizon Note 7 on Craigslist and have been trying unsuccessful return it to a Verizon store or Samsung. Everyone have been given me the run around that I needed to go back to the seller for the recall, which is not going to be possible. Is anyone of you in the same situation and how did or are you dealing with it?

my brother bought one verizon from craigslist and brought it to saudi arabia, it was in blue color as its not available here, so i asked samsung saudi facebook page and they redirected me to a local store, refund went smooth, got the cash already.
P.S. i didnt had payment receipt either. They even let me keep all the accessories.
It's different in the U.S. Samsung has no retail stores and up until recently didn't even sell direct. People had to go through a U.S. carrier. They started selling unlocked phones with little fanfare online and for the Note7 sold carrier-branded versions at samsung.com. So in OP's case he bought a Verizon-branded Note7 from a third party and has no receipt of the phone's original purchase. When looking at the phone's history in their system Verizon doesn't see it tied to the person trying to exchange it (OP). There's a bunch of people in similar situations that bought phones from eBay, Swappa, and Craigslist who don't have their phone's original purchase history and carrier's and Samsung are pointing them back to the person who originally bought the phone. It's a tough situation and dramatizes the unseen risk of buying third party vs. from a carrier or Samsung.

Which is a bit silly because if the phone explodes, the Craigslist seller won't be the one on the hook, Samsung and maybe the carrier who refused the exchange will be, since it's a safety recall and not a warranty exchange/return. If there's a safety recall on a car, you don't need to go back to the one you brought it from, any dealer will replace/repair the defect for free.

Very true on the dealer thing
I bought my in the UK via ebay. The seller would not take the phone back and ebay upheld the decision. So I emailed the company ceo from the Samsung website and they emailed back the very next day. Even had them deliver a new phone to me.

Did you have to return the old phone?
Can you post the name and address of whom you dealt with?
damn i didnt think it would be an issue. the imei should be in samsungs database and they should be able to send u a return shipping package to send it off i would think. once they have the recalled one i would think they would just send u the replacement. i am shocked it isn't that simple. like said before if i am driving a chevy and there is a recall i can take it to any chevy dealership and have it fixed no questions asked. with the whole fiasco and bad publicity samsung is getting i would think they would be bending over backwards to make the whole exchange process as smooth as possible.
I bought my note 7 off of kijiji (similar to Craigslist, here in Canada). When the note 7 was being recalled, I contacted the seller and he said Samsung is still in the process of how to handle the exchange program and would keep me updated. The same day in which the replacement form website opened up, he sent me the link. Nice guy.
Anyways try contacting the seller if you still have his/her number. If seller doesn't respond, call Samsung customer support. Good luck in getting your replacement device.

Hi,
I would like to buy this phone and get it shipped to the UK. I know about the lack of some UK bands and I am happy with it in my area. I have seen it on ali express and geekbuying but have no experience as to buying a phone from there and what import taxes they hit. Where would you recommend I get one?
I have sene it in a couple places:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia..._6&btsid=47921e20-e42d-4dc6-a153-d53e0513952a
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-5S-4GB-128GB-Smartphone---Gray-372738.html
I am assuming this phone is out yet? or are these just suppliers saying it wil eb a long delivery as they havnt got it yet?
Chris
Check out oppomart. They ship from EU so there shouldn't be import charges. $20 for shipping. They seem to have the best prices
Thanks, that does look like decent prices. Shame the grey isn't available yet. Have you used them before?
No haven't used them
I used oppomart to preorder the Redmi Pro.
It hadn't shipped 4 weeks after the shipping date published on the site (which also hadn't been updated) and I'd heard nothing from them. This was 6 weeks after I placed the preorder.
They were quick to refund and cancel the order on request though.
I would note that the seller you linked claims "Tariff Free" which may be customs related or may simply mean that it's a handset only (rather than carrier tied).
Top One will cover any EU (UK included) import fees (see here)
AliExpress claims it comes with a 1 year UK warranty, plus they're listed on a few UK cashback sites such as Quidco (7.5% off)
Try eglobalcentral.co.uk. I ordered my note 7 (yes i still refused to give up on it) from there and it arrived safely, very quick and with no custom taxes (their policy also states that they cover the cost of the custom taxes). But just have in mind that they are sending the phones from Hong Kong so if you need to return it or is faulty you have to pay for the posting cost. I also advice you to include mail insurance during checkout just to be sure.
I got my Mi 5 on the way to UK in the Mi Store (in shanghai) . But I have got Mi phones from Banggood and Aliexpress before so they are both good (this was when I was in NZ so idk import charges).

mixed reviews, but mostly very negative.

Note 7 will not get any software updates as it's officially discontinued by Samsung.

You ordered a note 7? I think people is stupid. Better do what samsumg said: turn off your phone for your safety.

No one is selling the note 7 now apparently so i wouldn't be able to order it from somewhere as they stopped the production. So when i said 'ordered" it man i meant pre-ordered and arrived on 2nd of September , the day of its release before anyone knew about the faulty batrery. But you are right about it not being safe and because they also restrict it on flights i decided to rerurn it back.
Has anyone been able to find a black/grey varient? All I keep finding is a pre order. Is the black version released yet?
from my searching around all i can find are silver so i think the rest have not been released yet.
Im in the UK and I think I'm gonna order from banggood today
I ordered mine from Geekbuying... was £316 for the 4gb/128gb version but they do take for ever to ship.
I dont mind waiting for slow mail that way you dont get stung with import duty into the UK.

How many days are you looking at?
Ordered Mi5s 64gb for about £255 from banggood. Hopefully shipped on time.
Have you all received your phones by now? And were they with original ROM or customized one?
Hello, I want to change my actual smartphone and I'm really interested in buying the Oneplus 3 but I have some little questions. For now I'm in Italy, why the price is 399 euro here https://oneplus.net/it/3 and on ebay is more than 420 euro ? Is good to get it from that site ( https://oneplus.net/it/3 ) ? How I will pay for it and how long it take to get it ? Is good to get it or should i search other smartphones ?
Its better if you buy through an official channel. I'd say wait till 14th when Oneplus announces the new device with snapdragon 821. If its indeed a phone better go for that. In this price range, Oneplus is definitely the best phone and it has one of the best developers community.
Because the sellers on ebay want to make money of you back the only legit place to buy is oneplus.net.
Payment is via PayPal, you can see expected delivery just before you place the order.
Is it the best phone? For me it is, especially in this price range. A new phone by OnePlus is expected next week. You can order and cancel if you like the new one better.

Is the Oneplus.net their official site ? I mean, I can pay and not get the phone ? And if I order the phone, how much does it take to get delivered? Btw, I'm going to wait first to see the price of Oneplus 3t.
Yep, only delivery. I think they have some shops in India
you should probably wait for the oneplus 3T
O2 shop sells them in the UK? Maybe there is a local retailer in italy that sells them.
It was quicker for me to buy from O2 as its in stock rather than wait 5 weeks for Oneplus to get stock out!
It is safe to buy from oneplus.net site - I purchased my from there and everything's OK. They have excellent service too - my screen was malfunctioning and they arranged repair here in Germany. Apart from OnePlus you can check Xiaomi Max too - it seems is less expensive and with better hardware (and the screen is 6.44"). However OnePlus 3 is very good phone so You'll be excited how fast and stable is with CM13 based ROM
I am Italian too and I can guarantee that if you buy on their official site you won't have any problems
I've bought the phone for me and my partner and there isn't a better phone!
Also, if you love modding this phone is perfect for you! :good:
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/
I live in Australia where the pixel xl 2 costs $1400 from all stores.
I'm thinking of buying the phone directly from the Google store in the USA and ship it to Australia. That's works out abt $200 cheaper in AUD$ (using boaderlinx)
My question is, if my phone is damaged will i be able to send it in front warranty in Australia ? Or will i have to send it to the US
I want to email Google but can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know?
