[Q] What has been your experience with purchasing unlocked from Amazon? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking at sellers Quality Deals (out of Taiwan) and SalesTagz (out of NV). Has anyone ordered from them and what are you experience(s)?
TIA!

I have ordered from Quality Deals which was fulfilled by Amazon. I ordered with 2 day shipping and it arrived a 2 days after I ordered it.
I am very satisfied with the phone and the purchase. One note is that currently the Taiwan version can't be boot loader unlocked. Only the Eastern Europian version can be unlocked for now.

Which seller did you use?

Well, I went with SalesTagz for $508 and free shipping. Will report back about my experience with them; might be helpful to someone else here.

$499 (Canada) and $578 (Usa) Deals :)

Hey there, if this is of any interest to you guys, I've found a pretty nice deal online for the HOX. Note that the $499 deal is through the Canadian website. These are unlocked, quadcore, NON-LTE versions of the phone if LTE isn't an issue for you.

Sorry, edited op. Working now (;
Well crap, I bought mine 11 days ago for $640, received it on the 23rd, and the price dropped on the 28th. So since the price drop happened after I received the product I'm not eligible for NewEgg's price protection. I did talk to a CS guy over livechat though and he "made an exception" and gave me a $40 gift card, so that's nice, but I still basically lost $100 for buying the phone five days too early...
That's rough my friend I've been in that boat

Yes, it's the unlocked international version.
It wasn't branded like Vodafone or any other brand?

Just a warning... don't order from anyone on Amazon US. They are branded phones (Vodafone Germany for me) and they seemed to be lightly used.
I returned it to Amazon and ordered from Negri yesterday. Glad to hear they are unbranded.
Unfortunately I ordered from Amazon, and received a Vodafone HOX. I returned the phone and got it from Negri.
Been real happy so far with mine from Negri. HT24D build, no issues at all, it's perfect.
Mine is coming in on Monday, I can't wait!

Buying Nexus 7 (2013) in India

So..who all are looking to buy this in India? I'm thinking of getting one using Google Play Store and HopShopGo this or the next week, 32GB version should cost about ~350$ by my calculations (270$ + 16.5% Customs + 25$ HopShopGo shipping).
Just as a note, I am not looking into selling or buying for others, just asking for people who are looking to do same as me
Available on Ebay
The16 gigs model is listed on Ebay already. For 19900/- with free shipping from US. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...t=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c3551d6e9&_uhb=1

Dude i have placed a order on Ebay for 32gb four days ago, currently the listing is finish, below is the link, with adding coupon i have it for Rs.21350/-
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...40308?pt=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c35210374
hey guys, is $229 for the 16 gig model the before tax or after tax cost of the Nexus 7 in USA ? I just wanted to know the exact price difference in ordering from Ebay vis-a-vis having someone get it from US...
Do you get india warranty when u buy from ebay or amazon?
Hey people, I ordered a nexus 7 16gb wifi only, on 2nd august, and it'd be arriving either tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
There's this seller called TabIndia on eBay.
I got it for 17500/- ($288) which is the cheapest you can get. The seller is trusted, and really nice to talk to. For getting a discount of 1500 (instead of buying it at 19000 through PaisaPay by eBay), you need to deposit the money in his account and he'd send you the tablet.
Of course, it sounds like a Scam, but I did it, and the seller is trustable. He owns a nice shop and you could just check out his eBay Reviews.
you could mail him @ [email protected] if you wish to buy with certain discount.
He was selling 32gb at 20,500 AFAIK.
I'm really worried about screenguard since I don't have any. I ordered XtremeGuard but that'd take like 20 days more to arrive.
Any suggestions for the same? I have a neoprene sleeve which'd work for nexus 7 2 though.
Warranty ?
Am also considering getting one for me from USA as one of my relative is due to arrive next weekend, Can anyone here using NN7 in India tell about Warranty ?
Will we get warranty in India by ASUS ?

Check the contract terms where you buy it. Maybe it got international warranty or just limited.

Its before tax. I bought a 32 GB model from BestBuy. Price came to around $290 ($269 + taxes). I think Amazon doesn't charge any taxes.
I am waiting for it appear in Play Store India so that I can order one for my parents. But considering people are shipping from US, I am thinking of doing the same. Anybody has experience in how I can ship to India after buying from here?

Sorry if my wording was not clear. What I meant was this - I am in US now. So, I was wondering if anybody had any experience buying it from US and shipping it to India? Other posters, I believe, were talking about ordering them from India.

Well if you are in the US, just buy one and send via your trusted parcel service, e. G. DHL, should be not a problem, not sure about Indian import tax tough, I had to pay 7 percent over here.

Ask tax form from seller. When item leave the country, immigration must pay you back to your account.

UK Buyers - have you looked at Tesco?

I've been looking around for a new LG G3 for a while (unlocked - I have my own SIM). I didn't want to get one off Ebay so I was looking for a UK retailer. Carphone Warehouse had them for £479. I then found that Tesco's are doing them for £420 with free next day delivery.
Mine arrived today and seems fine. Official sealed box and everything.
So, just in case you are looking, this may help.
Alan
[Now, someone will tell me they've found it even cheaper ]
Sorry to tell you this, £329.99 very reputable retailer. Were £319 a few weeks ago.

Where to Buy 802L

I have been searching, and cannot find anywhere to buy this specific model.
I want the 802L specifically, since it has the LTE bands that T-Mobile uses.
Does anyone know where I can buy one online?
Thanks!
There's one for sale on Amazon right now. I bought mine from the ebay user: factory-unlocked Maybe you could contact them about getting one? When I bought mine (July) they were selling them from both China and the USA. Now they don't list them for sale but maybe they could get you one.

Thanks - unfortunately the one on Amazon right now is listed under the 802L, but is actually an 803L if you go to the seller's listing.
I had contacted a number of eBay sellers, and could not find any that could supply the 802L model.
I just thought I would update this in case anyone else came along.
I ended up using buyee.jp to order one directly from Amazon Japan.
I will update this when it arrives.

So, I received the tablet and have been using it for a little while on T-Mobile.
It took about a week for the Buyee process to work. The total added price, over the Amazon.co.jp price, was about $35.
Everything is working well, great tablet, love the build quality.
Didn't like the launcher, so I switched it with Nova straight off.
Hoping Marshmallow comes soon.
The tablet DOES work as a phone on the T-Mobile network, and gets LTE.
I have personally seen up to 40Mb/s down on it.
As a phone... The speaker is near your ear, but it faces outward. Don't try to make any private calls in public places with it, as bystanders can hear your conversations.
Hope this helps someone else like me.

Indian buyers - Anyone bought from Appario?

I just noticed the 6Gb black edition is now available on Amazon from one seller "Appario Retail Private Ltd"
They seem to be the only seller with the black colour, anyone know if they are legit? googling their name returns some pretty bad feedback.
I am really hanging out to get the black version which no-one in India has sold so far.

I bought mine from them yesterday (the black variant) . It will get delivered by tomorrow. Rest assured if anything goes bad Amazon always replaces or refunds the entire amount . So go ahead and buy it.
Thanks, can you please post back here confirm you got everything as expected?
I got the free Bluetooth earphones from them.. Received in 2 days.. They're genuine.. Nothing to worry
