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.

Fast delivery, communication and no VAT for EU zone.

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
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).

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:
Hey guys, I'm living in the UK and was wondering where the best place to purchase this phone from was. Best in terms of price and customs fee. I've seen various places mentioned but am still a bit hesitant as I've never bought anything from outside the UK before and have no experience in doing so.
Also, those of you who have bought this phone from overseas, how was the experience? Did you have to pay a customs fee and if so, how much was it? How did the phone arrive? On top of never having purchased from overseas, customs fee etc, I'm also worried about how the phone will arrive. Was it packaged properly, or was the phone damaged in any way? Did Google Play come preinstalled and does the phone work on o2's frequency?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I've been meaning to upgrade from my Moto X Style and always come back to this phone.
If the community could answer my questions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks you!
I got mine mi6 from honorbuy
https://www.honorbuy.com/182-xiaomi-mi-6
They have it in stock at their warehouse in italy.
Not the cheapest tho, but no taxes makes it ok.

So no customs fee to ship to UK? Great! How did the phone arrive? Was the condition as expected? (perfect condition, no flaws whatsoever)
And I'm assuming by the "global rom" mentioned in the title, it comes preloaded with Google Play and the rest of the Google apps?
Thanks for the speedy reply, buddy.

Was well packed and was delivered by DHL. Took 5 days from order to delivery. Brand new and all seals intact. I did not check what rom it came with, unlocked bootloader, wiped and installed linage directly
Maybe you can buy one from Taobao,but I don't konw there's someone want to show you how to take a phone to the UK from China or not.
Hi,
I ordered mine through Gearbest, came with the global ROM which I've stuck with so far. It takes OTAs.
It does take a bit of getting used to after coming from Lineage, but with Nova launcher on top it's passable.
As for customs duties, I used their standard free shipping and it wasn't stopped. It came very well packaged; lined jiffy bag and all that.
Timing-wise, ordered on the 22nd June and received 4th July; so if you can wait it's a good option.
It was received perfect, all seals intact. They threw in an adapter for the plug as well. One in the box isn't a UK plug.
A quick Google shows it's on Gearbest at the moment for £335. That's a tenner cheaper than I paid!
Overall, I'd do it again (though hopefully not for a while yet!).
Ordered my first Xiaomi (Redmi Note 3 SE) from Honorbuy.
- Shipping was really fast (2-3 days) but very expensive (about EUR 40,-)
- Packaging was just a plastic bag, box was little damanged on the corners and it came opened
Ordered my next Xiaomi, the Mi 6 from Gearbest on June 25 and it was delivered on July 10. Bought it during a flash sale for EUR 326,-
- No custom fee nor shipping cost via Priority Line > Germany Express
- Came with Global ROM 8.2.2.0 (NCAMIEC), google services preinstalled and sealed
- Packaging see screenshot below
- My experience overall was pretty satisfying, i could track the whole process.

That is VERY strange indeed. That site is who I got my Ceramic blue from - and all the official papers INCLUDING a very official warranty and pre and post delivery phone call verification from.
They were very thorough, all the way to certifying my IMEI numbers and providing a service number because Xiaomi really doesn't have centers in Africa.
So, I really don't know what to say. Who did YOU call...?
P.S. Just did a check and you are indeed CORRECT! So I may have been lucky....always use PayPal.
Xiaomi do say they are a recognised vendor though and the phone is 100% legit and they will honor warranty BUT only through them because Xiaomi is not OFFICIALLY in Kenya.
Heh. I guess this is everyone's problem eh, with Xiaomi. As far as I could tell, they're only OFFICIALLY in China!
So, for reference, they did mention Gearbest also but none of these are official Xiaomi.
They have an official store in Singapore (heh....!)
The long and short of it was that if you are buying from abroad, there are a number of vendors they deal directly with and exchange imei and serial no. information to make sure as far as possible that only genuine products are being sold. They wouldn't tell me who, only that they would recognised warranty from this site but not directly from me.
So actually - I have to deal with Xiaomi Devices directly if I encounter repair/warranty issues.
When I checked back with Xiaomi Devices they will replace/refund if returned within a month completely. After that, for a year, warranty still stands as free BUT you pay for shipping.
After that they offer support until the phone dies as just a regular support/dealer/repair.
I got the phone from China through Hong Kong so they are Chinese based - which explains the very awkward communication - not dodgy in my eyes, very sincere, just.... Very Chinese!
I did ask how to buy directly from Xiaomi and they said they didn't think it was possible but they'll get back to me.
One thing though. Xiaomi direct is concerned with China sales. The reason they accept warranty from these 'partners' for international sales is that these partners are obliged to make sure that the phones they sell are international. I am not sure what that means but I think the suggestion was that if I shop from XIAOMI direct, I get a Chinese device and it's up to me to International-ise it.
All very obscure. So yes, Xiaomi Device is NOT Xiaomi.... You will have to make your choice.
I have bought from Gearbest before but this lot feel more thorough....they also had the Blue Ceramic almost immediately, day one, and their shipping is DHL and very quick.

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.
What about the play store. Is it installed on the phone?

Not on the Chinese ROM. Some resellers will install it before shipping but personally I would request them to leave the box sealed.
