Best place to buy if you want off contract/not in US

Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution!
Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:
handtec [dot] co [dot] uk
It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).
It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661
Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.
I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).
Cheers!

Erm, unless you're a company and can claim VAT back, you'll be paying £500 for that phone, not £419...

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.
If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.
And 419GBP is ~487EUR (not 418).

I wish I could order it, but I know I would end up paying half it's price in taxes anyways.

Handtec have always been great for me - usually quite a bit cheaper thanks Clove as well.

Yep I ordered mine from Handtec within hours of them putting it on the site, can't wait!
And no you don't pay VAT if you're not a UK citizen

i prefer clove co uk
because for extra 20 pound you get Smartphone Pre-Shipping Testing Service
Also
"if your product develops a fault within 14 days from the date of dispatch, we shall cover any return postage fees and rectify the situation to provide you with a fully working product."

Could I order from one of these sites and use it on T-Mobile US? Does this version support the AWS band? Also would I end up paying way too much?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just looking for a way to get the phone sooner. Because no one really knows when the HSPA+ version will come out in the states. I was guessing not until next year. Hopefully sooner.

amazon don't send to spain

Hi, I want to buy some accessories in amazon uk, but curiosly if I choose a screen protector, it doesn' t let me to buy it because they say they can´t send this product to spain, but a stylus pen and an adaptor yes.
Somebody knows why?

Most likely the specific item is not sold through Amazon itself, but through a partner.
Partners can set their own rules as to where they will allow shipment.
This is even the case when the item is sold by a partner, but fulfilled by Amazon.
The reason for this is typically that the partner has a distributor agreement with the vendor for only specific countries, and yours is not one of them. So your supposed to purchase it through a local supplier, which if you manage to find them will likely charge you more.

I hate it when things like that happen too, just use Ebay mate. Lol

I believe I will run to ebay.

You may want to try amazon.de or amazon.co.uk, they have a slightly different shipping policy. Or just go ebay, as RavenY2K3 suggested.

After the stuff Spain pulled on the Amazonians you think they'd want to ship stuff to you? J/K....

thanks, I tried in co.uk and same situation, I will try in .de .

You do know that amazon.es sells screen protectors, right? The selection isn't as good but at least shipping will probably be less expensive.

Feel free to go to UPS.com and calculate the rates yourself for a 2lb package with dimensions 8x6x4 inches.

O2 now have them in stock for the UK Just ordered one!

They only deliver to home address and I'm not willing to take a day off work. I'll take my chances next week and visit an o2 store.

Mi6 in Europe?

Will mi6 sell the phone in europe? Now it's 500€ in ebay.de, Will it be cheaper? And does anybody know a website which sells mi6 for cheap and ships to germany

Try aliexpress

2499RMB in china ，And it in out-of-stock.you can buy it in alibaba taobao

You can check iBuyGou.com
I think this is the best reseller for EU. Mi6 64GB you can get for total 492$ (including shipping with DHL etc.)

There's an option on the checkout you can choose which is kind of insurance that if you'll be told to pay the tax they will give you the money back. It costs 5% of the order's value. It's explained better on their website.

Bought mine from AliExpress - Hong Kong Goldway. Payment cleared today, now processing. I'm in the UK. Paid £15 for DHL shipping. Asked for sealed box otherwise they open and flash global ROM. Be interesting to see how long it takes and if I have to pay customs charge/tax.

Lol a little? They have only just started to sell in North America. Xiaomi won't be selling phones in Europe any time soon. You can bet on it.

My Mi6 just arrived from oppomart.com. We do not need Xiaomi shops in Europe if we can order from outside. The only problem is the VAT and customs fee.

Chinese enterprises are discriminated against by many governments, this is not Xiaomi's fault.

I sent a mail to ibuygou, they said that DHL is the best shipping and they are sending it as a gift so no taxes. I like it ?

Question Where can I buy pixel in EU

Hey,
I would like to buy Pixel but it's not officially available in Slovakia.Do you know some site that I can order one and will ship to Slovakia?
Thank you

Try to find the best company that has mail in the United States that can ship to Slovakia. like Aramex.

You can also try the reshipping option and buy from the closest Google store that sells it, like Germany or UK.

Do I just buy it from the official Google store of that country and set the delivery address to my country?

No, you create an account with a reshipping company, like for instance Shippito. That gives you a local address in the country that Google will ship to, then Shippito will forward the parcel to you wherever you are in the world for additional fee.

I hope the "forward2me" works for you, but if it didn't, try getting it from "clove.co.uk". I just checked and they have all colors in stock. They reputable and only carry EU/UK models.

Watch out with orders from UK to EU. You may get a **** tone of customs fees since they left EU. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but I made my last purchase from UK at the beginning of 2021 and I don't plan ordering from that country anymore, when my coffee containers that were supposed to cost 80€ ended up being 140€...
I'd go with Germany.

Not true, at least for the German store. They even inserted a clause that reserves them the right to not deliver the bonus product (Bose headphones) if resenders are used.
