I'm thinking of getting the Nexus 5x, it's on sale in Amazon for just 300 euros ( yes the 16 gb version, but it will do, I'm using spotify now ) , the thing is I'm concerned about the whole stories with the phone lagging like hell, if I don't like it, could I return it no questions asked ? As far as I know , a customer has 14 days to return an item bought online , but I just want to make sure
p.s. I live in Germany
if you're seriously concerned, get a nexus 6P (it's been on sale a handful of times), since it's the EXACT same experience minus the lag, plus a slightly bigger screen

It's been going on sale multiple times here in the USA (I got one for about $385 USD after combining some sales/promos), perhaps you can hold out for a sale over there as well?

wow , where di you get yours for that price? Amazon?? Here in Germany I think the nexus 6p flopped really hard, pretty much no physical store has it on stock, kinda feels like it was discontinued , you can only get it on google store and on amazon

I got it online at bestbuy.com, it was on sale for 450, I had a 10% off bestbuy coupon, and my discover credit card gave me another 10% off.
its definitely the best android phone out right now, but i agree the initial price it was sold at was pretty high.

At the moment the 5x (32GB) is available as an EBay.de WOW Offer for 299€ (ordered mine on saturday)
Regarding the performance I think with custom ROM/Kernel that should not be an issue any more.
Kindest regards,

Notice that all American prices are before taxes and here in Europe include a 20% VAT in the price so for a fair comparison subtract the 20% to the German price. Here in Amazon.es I've seen the 6p as cheap as 500€ an that's pretty close to the American price if you take into account you are paying a lot of taxes.

I know that the taxes are not included in America , but Google really screwed us over with the price of the new Nexus devices here in Europe , wow I just checked Amazon.es and the phone is indeed cheaper than on Amazon.de it costs 590 versus 650 here , there are of course cheaper prices but I always like to buy directly from Amazon , I think I'm gonna wait for the release of the galaxy s7 to see if it affects the price of the nexus 6p a bit

Sure thing! I completely dismissed the 5x at launch until a co-worker said he had got it from Amazon.es at 350€. Finally it was 400€ for me, which I think is fair for what you get. I was also tempted by the 6p at 500€, but I really value using my phone one-handed when in a rush so I finally stuck with the 5x.
And back to your original question I never had any problem with returns from Amazon. Surely questions will be asked, but they are very good at Custer care and won't have problems if you respect the return policy times.

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.

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.

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 $313 USD.
I ordered from Carry-it electronics with DHL. Major error!
They didnt declare anything so i had to pay 46 euros to dutch customs first to even get my phone.
Afther 7 weeks now the phone went completely black.... Dead. It still was stock..... On directions of Carry it i took it to local phone store...15 euros to check it. Mainboard defect! Not repairable by them. Carry it doesnt believe me so they avoid any responsibility. I should sent it back and make more costs... No way. First make more costs to customs because of their error.... Then 15 euros to check the phone... And then ship it anyway......
Folks.... Don't do business with Carri-it
I ordered from my Mi Max from Top One, price I think was 272 dollars total, to Czech Republic. 64GB version. Very smooth transaction, received it one week later via DHL, no customs, no hassle, they even put Google Play on it. Would gladly deal with them again.
Issue right now is that out of the box I know they don't support all the LTE bands in Europe and I am trying to find if someone has a patch that will unlock them. I am getting about 12Mb/sec, which while not as bad as my first test which as a horrible 1MB, still far from what LTE can be. Outside of that, what a great phone, easy on the eyes, fast, and great battery.
Phone came with 7.32 or something MIUI. Unless the MIUI that is out there includes more LTE bands, I am not going to chance updating right now, just my preference.
Officially MI max 128gb GB is not available.. Can anyone recommend be a website in Hong Kong where I can buy MI max 128gb? Plus some accessories
Will mi6 sell the phone in europe? Now it's 500€ in ebay.de, Will it be cheaper? And does anybody know a website which sells mi6 for cheap and ships to germany
Try aliexpress
2499RMB in china ，And it in out-of-stock.you can buy it in alibaba taobao
You can check iBuyGou.com
I think this is the best reseller for EU. Mi6 64GB you can get for total 492$ (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 ?

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.

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

Same here, I ordered the black 8/256 on launch day at 12:58 on Amazon (DE) and didn't ship yet ...
I bought it for 254euros from official site of xiaomi from spain but i live in cyprus and will be ship to a warehouse to spain and will be forwarded to me total around 275euros.the offer ended... anw.i used shopandship from aramex to forward the package
Got the 128 GB white from Amazon.de for 300 EUR (early bird price). I wanted the 256 GB but it didn't have the early bird price (was 400 EUR). So I decided the extra RAM and storage isn't worth +33% price. Mine was shipped around 5.4.
I ordered my black 8/256GB version from the official po.co store here in Hong Kong on launch day 19 April and it was delivered by SF Express on 21st. Price was $3,099 after a $100 launch discount coupon. It came with 12.02 global version of MIUI but I’m still learning on the bootloader unlocking process to try and flash the latest EEA version.
The F3 seems pretty widely available in the bigger chain retailers, mostly the same price as above.
No issues to report with it, though I’m not a gamer or heavy user, and am a long time Apple user who jailbreaks so sick of having no banking apps..... Overall very positive so far and looking forward to experimenting further.
