Oneplus 3 Shipping and costs

hi there
i want to buy oneplus 3 and i wonder why on amazon and other sites the phone price is about 150$ higher
and what's the difference between if i buy it from oneplus site or another site like amazon or ebay or gearbest
and i wonder about if there will be any more fees for the shipping and how much time will it take to arrive to Morroco (africa)
and if they will give me a tracking code

you know you can try to put it in the cart and proceed until the shipping cost shows up right? without having to complete the order..
and yeah they did give me a tracking number

yeah i've tried that's after i made this post and been suprised to find out that's they don't support worldwide shipping

I'm in the US. When I ordered my OP3 directly from OnePlus, the standard shipping option was free of charge. However, I chose to pay the $10 to upgrade to faster shipping and received my phone in two business days. So, I paid $USD 410 in total to get my device in two days. It shipped from California.
If you're in Europe or Hong Kong, be aware that sales are being suspended from August 9 to September 12, so get your order in soon if that applies to you. Source: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/information-on-oneplus-3-availability-in-europe.458234/

Gray Version - Where to buy?

Hey guys,
does anyone know why no shop has the gray version of the Phone? All i can find is the silver one but i dont like the white front because of the black bezzels

You´ll have to wait a little bit more for that colour.

I'm also looking for the Gray colored version!
Is there a known timeline for Xiaomi when it released the M5 before we could find the gray one? I can't seem to find any information about this

Did you read the tittle? Gray Version - Where to buy? Who cares about you have bought a silver version?

There are some on Ebay
http://m.ebay.com/itm/Original-5-7-...e9b40bc6fffe33e2%7Ciid%3A3&varId=600912049708
I don't know Legit they are.

I don't think you can get the gray model from anywhere right now. I'm not even sure if Xiaomi has sold/shipped any of those yet. Only the silver model is being sold, but as you said, all the other colors apart from gray look stupid because of the black bezels.
I ordered a gray 4/128 GB model from Top-One Digital on Aliexpress on October 5th. The sales rep told me it'll take about a week from now for them to get them in stock, so they should probably have them in week 43.
Top-One is only selling the silver model currently, though. I guess they'll add the other colors back once they have them in stock and they've filled the orders for those who already have orders in.

4GB: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...gon-821-QuadCore-5-15/342812_32740813335.html
If you're in Europe, Top-One delivers their stuff so that you don't have to pay any taxes or customs fees, if you select DHL shipping.
I suggest checking those links every once in a while to see if they gray model has become available.
Edit: Just found a seller on Aliexpress who at least lets you order the gray version. But I have no idea whether or not they actually have them in stock. I highly doubt it.

I'm sorry, I don't know if anyone ships to India like that... I suggest looking around at some Indian tech forums to see if people have found a seller doing something similar to that. That's how I found the Top One store; from a Finnish forum where many had ordered a phone from there and everyone had received it without having to pay taxes.
Xiaomi sells their phones directly in India, right? Are the prices a lot higher than in China?

Yeah. Xiaomi mi5 was 25% higher than china and only 32gb 3gb underclocked version was released.

25% more is not bad, since resellers in China are taking more than that anyways, if shipping charges are taken into account.
For example the 4/128 GB Mi 5s:
Xiaomi sells it for 2299 yuan, which is 341 US dollars. Top-One is selling the same phone for 409 US dollars + 26 USD for the DHL shipping method. So it's 435 USD at Top-One. That's 28% more than the official Xiaomi price.
But I don't really care since similar phones cost twice as much in Finland.

I thought the 3/64gb was $350?

Not yet...
I ordered on 2nd of October and at the time it was written, that it is on stock (not preorder). I received the notice from the seller this morning that we will have to wait probably 2 more weeks.
Since the shipment date on Xiaomi official store is after 30th of november, I doubt that any shipment will occur before.
I am seriously thinking to cancel the order, since the price dropped a couple of euros (from 390,01 to 376,64) and the current delivery is 16 to 25 days from 2973 pcs available...
2973 pcs? Xiaomi will ship 3K grey units to Top One before offer them on their own store? This has to be Top Ones total stock of everything...or something.
Very misleading

I guess it's a 50/50 change that the new produced color is Grey. They started with silver..now the gold one is showing up in the shops. So the next would be grey or.....pink . Maybe pink sounds weird to produce next but heyy..they made it for china
Maybe they know that grey is most wanted and they start with the less popular colours so they could tune the firmware or even make hardware adjustments. But thats only guessing.

I bought mine for $699 from AliExpress.com with DHL shipping to the US.

Found one at GIZTOP for $690
Ordered the 128GB version with GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR and SOFT TPU CASE

I'm going to try to pick one up from alibaba.com suppliers. I'll let you know how it goes and what price

Thanks. Looking to get the 256gb version.
What one did you get!

I got the 64gb version. They have the 256 for immediate shipping. Just tell them you want it shipped right away and now wait for the global rom

I guess the special unibody variant with 8GB RAM in balck or white is not yet released by xiaomi?
Checked the mi.com sale on 14 and 17 for China and it wasn't available for purchase. So resellers shouldn't be able to get it either.
Does anyone have a release date for the 8GB unibody variant?

This review says November
https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/2017/09/11/xiaomi-mi-mix-2-ceramic-unibody-price/
I can't wait that long so just ordered the 256GB. If I really like the phone I may upgrade to the unibody later.

I think you made a good choice. Nice knowing there are crazy phone people just like me out there

That is the best price now, after I used a coupon my reseller disabled it. I managed to snag one for $565 but that deal no longer works. Since you posted that link, stock was decreased by about 25 phones. Good sign, since it means these units are selling internationally, custom ROM activity looks promising.

Geekbuying said they estimated mid October before the 6GB 64GB would ship and it was significantly more. I tried to cancel my pre-order there 2 days ago and they haven't been responding

Geekbuying now has 6GB/64GB for $588

For the 8/256, it's still like $100 more than Xiaomis price lol. I'll hold off for the price drop. Turn this bad boy into an Xmas gift to myself.

Is this available with the bootloader unlocked anywhere with shipment to the UK/EU?

eBay coupon code PICKFAST made the 8/128 ~$561. The seller messaged me it would take 15 business days to arrive from China

I have a black 8/256 I can get to anyone in the US in 2-3 days. $800.

Rando on xda with 53 posts isn't exactly "best place to buy". Put it on swappa if you want to sell. Otherwise, move on.

Why would they advertise the prices like this:
"The Mi MIX 3 comes in four variants based on the memory configuration. The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model costs 3,299 Yuan (~$474) while the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model is priced at 3,599 Yuan (~$518). On the other hand, the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant is priced at 3,999 Yuan (~$575)".
No website I've checked has the prices even close to that. Or maybe I'm missing something ??

Different Pre-Order Promos around the World

Although I pre-registered for the pre-order notification and was told I'll get $35 off (I did the same thing for the Note 20 Ultra and received $50), it seems that it is going to be a while before the Tablets are actually available in the US. I'm curious on the Promos being offered around the World. If none are offered worldwide I won't expect one here in the US.

Looks like the US is not as lucky as other countries:
When you pre-order one of these tablets, you'll get the keyboard ($200 for Tab S7; $230 for Tab S7 Plus) for 50% off. Both the Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 Plus will be available in three colors: Mystic Black, Mystic Silver and Mystic Bronze.

So far it looks like the Aussies got the best deal. If you deduct the US$35 pre-reservation credit we will getting the keyboard cover for US$80 net in the US, so it's close to the deal in Holland.

I just checked Best Buy in the US, and they are offering the 50% off for the keyboard cover if you buy it as part of a package.
Save 50% on keyboard cover with Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+.
The Best Buy release date for the 256 is 9/18. I put my Silver 256 order in through Sammy's site and have a delivery date of 9/25. Kinda ticked.
