Give it a week or two then price will drop if you looking to buy it pay as you go, otherwise ebay is the only option. Price wise based on spec is reasonable

I have ordered mine from amazon.co.uk
I am trying to get one from japan i believe they already have it there now. If i manage to get one from there i will cancel the amazon order
I have been waiting for the LGG4 for a long time, really looking forward to this device

I know you want this phone badly, and rightly so it's truly amazing.
But I would wait, the great deals don't start to surface until a week before release. You won't be able to get the phone any earlier than 28th May so just stay strong! :highfive:

Mobile Phones Direct have it as in stock available for delivery tomorrow on their website. Deals with EE and Vodafone, showing SIM free for £489.00 including delivery. Not bad. http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/shopping-basket
hope the link works, posting from phone.
I have purchased from them a couple of times in the past. If you look hard enough they have some really good pay monthly deals.

Best Place to buy for UK

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).

i was quick to order from oppomart today, because the price is right! but after googling about their reputation, i'm now a bit weary i just threw money in the toilet

mixed reviews, but mostly very negative.

Note 7 will not get any software updates as it's officially discontinued by Samsung.

You ordered a note 7? I think people is stupid. Better do what samsumg said: turn off your phone for your safety.

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.

Import Pixel 2 XL from US to Europe

Hi guys. I'm simply in love with Pixel 2 XL. And I want it. Now!
Unfortunately I live in Italy.. And the phone will be delivered..... No, we don't know when... But we know the price! 989euro. Crazy!
So I think to buy it the the States. One friend will buy the device and send it to me.
One question: the phone will work correctly in Italy/Europe? In tech specs all the data are the same between US and IT devices.
Thank you so much guys!

Seems like there's no difference between US and RoW model in terms of lte bands this time around. Should be fine. I'm waiting for my US purchased device to use it in Russia.

most likely that it will work fine
but make sure that the lte bands in italy are supported in the pixel + order unlocked version

Going by the specification page on the American Google store, the Pixel 2 phones should work just fine in Italy. They might not support carrier-aggregation though if that's available in your country.
Google has yet posted any clarification regarding this.

This Pixel 2 has no difference all over the world on cell coverage.

Thank you guys

in usa most states have tax
only few don't have tax

My experience with "importing" tech stuff from the States is, your shipment will 99% go through customs and you will have to provide your receipt which in turn will serve as a base for calculating how much import tax you will have to pay to your government. Since I live in Slovenia and you are in Italy (neighboring countries part of the EU) I believe your scenario will be the same.
Taken from http://tradecommissioner.gc.ca/italy-italie/market-facts-faits-sur-le-marche/17370.aspx?lang=eng
Import duties into EU countries are subject to import tariffs (normally applied on the import c.i.f. value) plus the value-added tax (VAT) which varies according to different importing countries. The standard rates for Italy is 22%.
According to the Italian Stability law of 2016, the standard VAT may increase to 25% in 2018. The imposition of the VAT rate increase will be dependant on the performance of the Italian economy.

It doesn't matter where you're importing from, your import tax is the same - shipping from other EU countries does not count as importing.
So put another 22% on top of your price of $902 and add the ****ty conversion rate from $ to € your government will probably give you. The phone will end up costing you around 900 € if they don't add any handling expenses as well.
It's funny how the situation changed in the last 3 years. Before it was hard to get Apple products where I live and it was very easy to get subsidized Nexus phones from our carriers, now it's the other way around. Getting a Pixel would cost me around the same as it would getting a Crapple product. A shame really.

Hello,everyone i've looked for importing the Pixel 2 too but the main problem it's the customs fees are too expensive and all the company that send to France (like shipito, mailbox ...) only send via DHL FEDEX so there is 100% chance that customs fees will be added, and they cost 120€ ... I'm going to Miami in March and i'm thinking of buying it at a store in Miami but i don't know if we can import the phone like this if there is customs fees risk too or not.
@AmphybiouS How do you proceed to receive your Pixel and what was the final price, did you have customs fees ?

If you buy the device in a store and bring it with you on your person or in your luggage you won't have to pay import fees.

thanks a lot so i think the best choice is to wait till March haha plus the fact that the conversion € to dollars is better for me 700$ (with Florida taxe) cost 600€.
But the customs wont say anything if i have my current phone and the pixel 2 with me ?

What happens with the warranty though?
When they increased their warranty time they said about "worldwide warranty"
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsFRyoLZZjXvo/?hl=by
We’re very confident that the Pixel 2 delivers an exceptional smartphone experience, and to give users peace of mind, every Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will now come with a 2-year warranty worldwide.

Did they mean that the warranty will be 2 years everywhere or that the warranty is valid no matter where you are?

I really want one too, but not available in Portugal!

Hey guys,
I live in Poland and I took mine from Ebay. For all the people here looking to buy one, this is what I recommend.
I paid 880eur in total for my Pixel 2 XL 64.

Hi. I was thinking about ordering a 5t.
Anyone in Ontario order one? Can you tell me how much you paid total for shipment and customs?

There isn't customs.

Same story. But ordered two phones. They were delivered from California for less than 24 hours by DHL express.
Although I have not ordered any special shipping service.

The 128gb? How can I use the student discount?
I'm not a student

I'm very interested too, is anybody want to share their student discount ?

There is nothing to share.
Just register here
https://www.studentbeans.com/student-discount/us/oneplus
and you will get the personal discount code that will be valid for one month.
But do not use gmail when you register, try to use something else.
PS.
I also came from my good old Nexus 6 to OP5T
I still think Nexus 6 the best Google phone ever made. Had zero issues with it for 3 years.

I'm not a student so I cant buy it with the discount ( or there's another way? ) anyone o had bought it without the discount can share how much has paid?
Thanks in advance

I bought mine on the release day and received it on Black Friday (which is no special day in Canada). Paid about $740, used a referral code from a friend.
Very happy with it. It works perfectly on Public Mobile (which doesn't sell phones and expects you to have one unlocked, though Telus-locked phones will work).
IIRC there was only one shipping choice, DHL (yuk) and the phone shipped from California HST-paid so it didn't stop at customs.

Where to buy

At the moment this beast is only available to buy outright from carfone warehouse for a whopping £2299.99 no change here been waiting for this for a while now just hope they offer it on contract soon.

I purchased at Clove last week with Paypal. Less than $200 over list.
Good Morning
I emailed yesterday to say that we have been offered some stock from another source, but it is a higher price – now £2010.00 as updated on our website.
Would you like to pay the extra amount and have a phone dispatched to you in the next 2 days? We cannot guarantee that we will be able to get any of the lower priced stock. Apologies for this situation.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated during this period of crisis.

Out of topic i see you located in US ! How is the phone ? Whats your previous device ?

It works great on ATT. Using stock apps without difficulty. Messaging, voicemail,
contacts, maps, G mail, Google searches all work in apps provided. Had to add Gboard apk to get a keyboard I liked. Personal preference. Provided Swift keyboard is pretty nifty. Also have a Galaxy fold. Used Phone Clone to transfer contacts and whatever from Galaxy fold.

Nice ! Thank you, i also sold my galaxy fold, got pixel 4xl sold it today., and ordered Mate XS. Google is only keyboard to go I agree...the only thing i see no one can’t sign in in to google maps....I guess time to use Waze...and its sucks
