Hi. Sorry, if the question sounds strange, but I will be visiting the US for a conference for about a week in a week. It seems impossible to order the Transformer from the usual suspects, since they all require a valid US billing adress and seem to cancel the order if that is at a Hotel. Incredible! So it is not even possible to order for store pickup for me.
Has anyone of you any idea if there is a chance to pick up the Transformer around Orlando in a week or how I could place an order for pickup? Doing this from Europe seems to be the problem.
Any other creative ideas on this topic would be much apreciated!
Thanks a million!
I don't travel international, however when I need to ship to a different address I call my credit card company and add the address as an authorized shipping address and they add it to my account so that when the charge is authenticated, it will pass the address check.
Have you done this already? If not, you definitely need to let your credit card company know you are going to be shipping to an alternate address.
Hope it helps.

i think they have hhgreg store there you try store pickup
I live in south florida and the best buys have been getting them in stock once a week. I'm about 3 hours from orlando I'm not sure about in-store stock up there.
Hello if your luck and BESTBUY have the Transformer in stock when your arround , they have the option of allowing you use a non US credit acrd on their site BUT only for shipping to a US address. Suggest you try nowinstock website and check shipping estimates . hope that helps

That's the problem. BB only ships to US residents, no Hotel adress allowed and they have removed the possibility to check 'Store Pickup' for Transfomers. Aaaahgh! I managed to fall into that pit with both BB and Sears ...

Hi Folks,
I'd like to get couple of new HTC devices but Sellers send them to US Only.
Is there any Shippings Forwarding Services available for individuals? Is it possible to ask Seller to send the item to DHL or UPS Pickup Center and then ask DHL or UPS to forward this item to me?
Or what are the other ways to get items from outside the country?
Cheers
Brokerage Services
Does anyone know any trusted broker that can forward me shipments within adequate brokerage fee?

You might try MadMonkeyBoy -- he's very well-regarded over at Howard Forums. He just got a shipment of Wizards, so he seems to be well-connected.

Hey guys,
So... I bricked my Atrix 2. Like, hard bricked it. Fortunately I am still under warranty. Motorola advised me to send it their repair centre to have it examined. Problem is, it's an Atrix 2, MB865. The phone is only manufactured in America. I'm in the UK. After talking to their customer service, they said if I ship it to them in America, they can't ship it back to the UK. Only a US address. I tried talking it over with Motorola UK, but they said that since they do not manufacture the phone I couldn't give it to them.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Offer to pay return shipping, or include a pre-paid shipping label they can use to send it back. You'll need their cooperation on this.

Upon using the live chat for customer service, they've concluded by saying I need a US address for them to schedule and repair it. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try on the phone tomorrow. Until then... are there any alternatives anyone can think of?
Did you buy it in the US?
The only other thing I can think of is that you have to have someone you trust to act as a mediator, perhaps for a fee. There's a risk you'll never get it, and they carry the risk of you telling the the item was lost/damaged.

Bought it on Amazon.com, so it's from the US. The think is, it's still under Motorola's warranty. I would consider using someone as a mediator as I'm kind of out of options.
Did the seller ship it to the UK, or were you in the US when you bought it? If they shipped it to you, then contact the seller.

I purchased it from Amazon whilst being in the UK. I have contacted the seller, although it doesn't look like he intends to respond. I'm really out of ideas here...
I assume it's a 3rd party seller on Amazon marketplace. If they don't respond, I think you can contact Amazon directly, at least to put pressure on them to resolve the issue. If sellers behave like bad Craigslist artists, while selling on Amazon, it makes Amazon look bad. I would look into that avenue, 'cause you're running out of options.
Just came across something I'd never heard of, & remembered this thread. There's something called "Package Forwarding," and if you search online, there are loads of companies that do it. Mostly, it's for people who want to buy things from the US, & have it shipped abroad. You'll have to contact some of them to see if they'll fill your need.
Having no personal experience with any if them, though, I can't give any recommendations.
Hope you get this sorted out.

Thank you so much, this seems like it could work. I found a website which allows me to have a physical US address. Only problem is, Motorola require a US phone number while submiting the repair form. I'll try and find a way to sort that out now.
I live outside the US, but I have family there. If I have one of them purchase for me, could they ship it directly to my US shipping address which I keep only for shipping, which is not my relative's address, so I can have it drop shipped to me?
Will there be any problems with address on Playstore purchase? I mean, can you ship to another address than your own, as in this scenario?
I believe you received going to have to buy the international version. Not sure if that's going to be on the play store in the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know about that. Is there an "International" version of the Nexus 4? As far as I know, there isn't. My question isn't about the hardware. It's about the draconian restrictions placed on the Playstore purchases.
Aren't you basically just asking if you can have a separate billing and shipping address on google play orders?
Yes you can!

Basically, yes. I am going to ask my brother to purchase it for me. He lives in the US, but I don't. I am simply asking for that reason, because I am going to ask him to ship it to my US address, and then drop ship it to myself.
Does any one know or received he Google play credit when bought from Amazon yet. I have received 2 devices but no email? I am UK based so aware its USA only but checking to see if I may still get it or if it has a delay. Thanks
I received my code via email same day I ordered

I got my Android TV 2 weeks ago in the UK and haven't received any code. I assumed it's because it's not valid in the UK.
Thought so too, just asking if any USA people have had it yet and if so how long it took

Forgot about this, just asked where the hell mine is through CS.
I ordered on amazon and got the code maybe 20 minutes later after my credit card was charged.
I got mine from amazon and it was given by Amazon not google

I applied for my code 12 days ago and have not received it. Called Nvidia customer service twice and just posted on the GeForce forums. Hopefully that does the trick. Purchased in the US, from BestBuy.com.

Hi guys !
I bought a Smartphone from an Online Shop in China...the price were awesome and I jump on the opportunity
However, for safety purposes (it is the first time that I payed so much from chines online shop), I payed for an transport insurance that will payback if the phone get lost in the "journey" from China to Europe.
By tracking system info, I know that the phone get to Spain, than Portugal (no customs system )...but it's been a while since the phone is stuck in Lisbon and, next week, the deadline for the reception of the good will come to an end....
Now, my question is:
If I activate the insurance from China, since the deadline is overdue and Lisbon won't answer my requests for more informations, and that, by some miracle, the phone finally get to my address (it happened for some goods in the past), will the phone works?
I don't know if the seller will blacklist the phone in China or in worldwide carriers....in fact, I don't even know if I will get a payback
Thanks for the help !!

Why would a seller blacklist a phone they are knowingly selling? Was it listed for sale as a black listed item?

If the phone doesn't reach the client...it could mean 2 things, or it's lost or it was robbed by someone in the chain of transport...at least that's how I think.
