I am looking for this cradle from anywhere that accept Paypal but except mobilefun.co.uk.
I haven't managed to find any though. If anyone found one or similar (but with audio jack and headphone external jack like that one), let me know.
Yeah my eye also on this cradle. Unfortunately I haven't found it on ebay either. Mobilefun only has it. I hope Chinese guys wake up immediately and see this
mobilefun will stock it in 2 days but I'm not willing to buy anything from a shop which uses discrimination policy (higher price for non-UK buyers) when others sell at the same price. Since they are all Chinese, let's wait and see, maybe they appear somewhere else as well.

Hey! We're just getting our own back. Normally we (in the UK) pay MORE than non-UK peeps for the same thing. The usual story is that something that costs $10 in the US will cost £10 here. When the exchange rate is £1=$1.50!!!!
And I can't see the different pricing. I put one in my 'cart' and asked for international delivery and it was just a few pence more than delivery in the UK .... and they HAVE to charge more for international delivery than UK delivery seen as how they're a UK company.
Or have I missed something?

You are missing something.
Of course delivery price will be higher depending on the destination. The price difference I mention is not in regards to exchange difference. I mean that you buy a DHD for example which is shown GBP470, if I buy it from outside UK, they will convert it to somewhere around GBP560 although this is not the real exchange rate. I contacted them and they state this as a policy. mobilefun and expansys does this so I am not shopping from them. handtec and a few other shops don't do this. I bought my DHD for GBP470 form them at that price and the loss of currency convertion will be something that I either win or lose during payment from my bank account and it wil not be so significant, maybe a few pounds.

Oh, I see what you're saying. But that's just what we Brits have had to put up with for years so I have no sympathy for that particular problem. Hope you get the best deal you can though.

Was interested in this but £20+ seems quite steep for a piece of plastic, a USB cable and a battery connector.

I'm sure this is the same if not a similar product if your looking for a Paypal compatible seller.
Anybody know of a cheaper version of the product without the extra battery charger?

as an experienced ebay user in both selling and buying, you will be hard pushed to find something cheap that is shipped quickly AND is of good quality, better to spend more and get it from a reputable supplier
I realize that the 64Gb version is $349. But, it has to be shipped from China , go thru US customs, applicable sales tax in Masachusettes.
SO
Shipping cost = ?
Custom duty cost = ?
Massachusettes tax = ?
I had, couple of years ago, bought a phone from Canada and when the USPS was delivering it to my door, I had to pay an additional $33 immediately (I assume Massachusettes taxes and or Customs-I don't remember which)
So I take the 349, add a shipping cost (I am guessing) of $15:00, plus Custom duty/Massachusettes sales tax of about $33:00 will bring the real cost to my door of approximately $400 and change. So the real cost to me will be approximately $400 give n take. It is still a good idea but real numbers mean more than just a listed number.
Any one out there that has received their Oneplus in the USA, what were those other costs?
Thanks in advance.
I can't really answer your question, but for me in Germany/EU there were no extra costs.
300€ + 5€ express shipping + a few € for a screen protector.
A user asked the OP support for the costs and they replied:
Thanks for contacting us. The price for the phone itself (64GB) is USD349, plus shipping fee of $16 for standard and $19 for express, hence the total cost will be around $365-370. The tax is included in the price.

There now is an additional 'sign on deliver' cost of 2.35$.

First off, the phone is not shipped from China. It is shipped from Anaheim California. The tax is included in the $349. Shipping is $14 now I believe, when I paid it was $360 in total and delivered via 2 day usps to new York.

That explains why I got my OnePlus One so damn fast I live near Anaheim lol Anyway, the standard shipping was $10 and $350 for the phone, I didn't pay a penny over $360.
oki doki, the shipping sounds reasonable and I like it. Thanks all for your responses.

The shipping varies depending on where it's going within the United States. I've bought two, I'll list their shipping locations below along with their price.
New Lenox, IL - $11.99
Minden, NV - $10.34

NO matter how you slice it the phone plus shipping is well worth it. So dont sweat shipping cost for an phone you wont be mad at!

Hello there,
I want to buy a Mi4c 2gb cellphone from europe or somewhere were I have not to pay taxes for the customs.
Do you guys know the best sites to buy it?
Thank you :fingers-crossed:
if you buy from an eu location, taxes will be already paid and incorporated into the cost charged to you so they will cost more compared to those shipped from china (the extra cost being same as the value of tax that would have been paid). If you import from china, there is a decent chance you won't have to pay tax, but if you do then the total will come up to the same as one bought from the eu. so i'd say if you can wait a couple of weeks, buy from china as you are quite likely to avoid taxes anyway, but if you can't wait buy from the eu.
i bought mine from:

Ah yes but what i'm trying to say is that if you're intent on buying a xiaomi phone, you'll have to be prepared to pay the tax either way. if you buy from the eu, the cost of tax will be incorporated into the cost charged by the seller so you're guaranteed to pay the tax. but if you buy from china, you will probably not have to pay tax but there is a chance you do so you have to be aware of that. chinese sellers typically mark their products as gifts or as a low amount (like mine) as to avoid taxes as customs officials can't open every package that comes through their borders to check inside. this means that most chinese goods will make it through untaxed but if you're unlucky you'll have to pay up.

Yes, I understand you. But there are places like gearbest that sells it in a good price and it avoids the customs, but they're out of stock. Thats why I want other sites that sells it in EU
I bought mine from honorbuy mobile 2 weeks ago.
Gizchina has EU warehouse
http://shop.gizchina.com/mi4c/
If you don't want to pay tax, you'll have to order from China directly, not from a EU warehouse.
From China, you could randomly have to pay taxes too...
Note that you'll have to wait 2-3 weeks more.
PS : you should consider the 32Go version instead of the 16Go. For the storage, but for the RAM too....
Email came in a little bit ago.
Use paypal, fraud prevention denied my original Visa payment.
I just got my order email just now 11/14/17 9:30pm CST and I just ordered 2 Razer Phones!!
FYI - I had an issue getting the order to go through using a credit card direct on the site ... got an unsuccessful payment email 2 times using 2 different cards ... so then I used PayPal and then the order went through and shows processing now.

I'm betting it might take time but most likely I'm sure it'll get figured out.
I get the feeling Razer is mostly concentrating on the hardware, letting Google handle their own OS.
Fyi, talked to customer service to be sure my order went through.
While having them on the line I verified we'll need to be present to sign for the delivery, and it's also shipping from Hong Kong to the US. :/
Not sure if this means customs or not or it's now going to be weeks.
So if ya have a microsoft store nearby you might just go there. Closest to me is 3 hours away, thinking I should have waited til Friday and then called the MS store..

Got tracking.
Sorry for double post wouldn't let me add it to original post
I'm glad that some of you were able to place your order. I was not so lucky. As soon as I received the email announcing that ordering was open (about 48 hours ago), I placed an order using Amex. The order was immediately cancelled for no obvious reason, but my Amex account was charged anyway.
I inquired as to the problem via email and it took a full day to get a reply. Razer asked for copies of a bill and my driver's license, which I immediately supplied. I received an acknowledgement that the documents were received and that they would be examined by the "finance team". I am still waiting...
I have never had such an experience before. Amex is quite good at fraud protection, but I guess they are not good enough for Razer. I will give them another day, before I dispute the charge with Amex. This is not a good way to instill customer confidence and loyalty.

Bogus!
Though I think anymore, there's probably a black-list and then geographical hits. Meaning I'm sure the card companies keep lists of known fraudsters by website or company name, but I'm sure geographical denials are the norm. If someone lives in USA and never has had any purchases in China, and then all of a sudden their card is charged for 1500$ in China, better to deny first and ask questions later. This is how paypal works because it's not geographically dependent and probably marked as "safe" by 80% of the population who uses the internet.. :/

I'm not sure what you are saying, The transaction was approved by Amex. If they let the charge through, why should Razer cancel the order while leaving the charge transaction active? I never did business with Razer before, so I am certainly not blacklisted with them.

You should goto razerzone.com the community insider section. Poke around there and you'll find a CSR that is reaching out to individuals about stuff like this to get their orders in, I assume, in front of the line.

Anyone have any recommendations regarding reliable stores on Ali Express
The 7 pro is about 1 to 200 euro cheaper there at the moment.
I understand that it will be china model but seems like a deal.
Anyone any experience with this ?

This is the seller which my friend is working with. He is trusted since me and my friends bought a lot from him.
So you save up to 200 euro to wait at least 30 days for shipping from a sketchy retailer you have no info on.
Or just wait 25 days, you will potentially be able to save up that extra 200 euro, then order directly from oneplus or another trusted retailer near you and get it in the same or possibly sooner time frame and it will be the correct model for your region.

I just got information from the seller that If you write a message to this seller during the order and give him my nick as a code: Dorsefrith you will get 5% discount
You will have to wait with payment until he lowers the price.
Gone off the idea of using AliExpress,seems it's hit or miss when you will actually receive the device and stores advertising 6-8 days DHL is just an empty promise and then you've got the possibility of dealing with Customs,It's easy to get pulled in with the prices but overall not worth the hassle.
Gearbest is decent should be faster than Ali Express and some coupons for discount, Also avoid DHL they're a scam. I've had problems with them in the past with custom charges etc.
I want to buy from Gearbest but the phone was sell only from China or Hong Kong warehouse. Price was Good.
In my country, 19% vat + 2-4% custom... NO ! Thanks. But NO!
I both from a sales forum in my country a blue OnePlus 7 pro 8gb-256gb with 550 euro . Wonderful!
