They've got a 9.3/10 rating

Brandon over on Pocketnow, at least i've heard him say it on many unboxing/reviews, gets stuff from Negri all the time so I think it should be cool.

They are legit. Quick free shipping

has anybody ordered from them to the uk? how much did it cost you?
also if i did order a sensation xe from them, how would it differ if i was to buy from uk shop?
thank you

It should be the same but you can try clove or handtech if you are in the UK.

well from negri it works out to be 470 gbp (including delivery)
from handtech it works out around 492 gbp (including delivery)
and clove is 500 gbp
so if the one from negri will deffo work in uk, i wud prob buy from them....

WOW!! That is kind of a large difference. Negri is usually more expensive then clove from my experience.

Hi, this is my experience with them, I bought a NAM Legend and 1 day after they wouldnt replace it the microphone quit working, I called them up and they said they would send it in for repair.. I sent it back to them, long story short, after calling them every couple of weeks for close to 6 months, they finally sent me a back a different unit, this one had scratches and other things wrong with it.. I decided it was in my best interests at that point to take what I got and be happy with it, and to never buy from them again. my 2 cents....

hmmm well taking that into consideration, imma jus buy from handtech.co.uk, at least i wont have to worry about the charger not working in uk and stuff with cell reception....

Want to know peoples experince on best way to sell phone.

i have a thunderbolt in essentially new condition that i want to sell, but only really know of ebay. have people used other services that they could recommend? or if you know of any sites where people barter for other electronics that would be great too

Use the marketplace here its free to use with far less hassle than ebay. I've sold 2 phones here my g2 and nexus one and both were successful, easy and smooth transactions!

you can also try swappa.com they charge you $10 but the service is great I've used it several times to buy and sell phones.

Ebay always has been best for me, good prices and quick sales

Craigslist has always been the way for me - meet somebody face to face and get cash....

Or get robbed. Be verrrryyyy careful with face to face meetings.
eBay has served me very well over the many devices I've sold.

I have sold successfully on amazon, although they do charge comission. I have used craigslist too, but if you choose to meet, do so at a public place, like coffee shop or grocery store.

Wow - I hope people aren't getting robbed! Meet at a Verizon store, not in a back alley in the worst possible part of town. Done many a transaction via Craigslist, never once had any issues and I usually sell within a day or 2 and get the amount I am looking for.

[Q] Any Reason NOT to Buy From Wirefly

Looking at getting a couple new phones, a Note 2 and a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Wirefly seems to have the best deals on the phone, but I wanted to check with people here to see if there is anything hidden, or pitfalls I should look out for.

My dad has ordered from Wirefly numerous times and has yet to have a complaint. I have never ordered from there but I don't see why not. Cheers!

Honestly none at all, I am one of their many satisfied customers, items ship quickly, prices are reasonable and they often have killer deals in addition to all the newest devices... It doesn't get any better... (well other than Amazon that is)

thanks for the info.

[Q] Buying options between within the country or buying outside the country?

I want to know what would be the pros and cons of me buying between one within the UK or one from China if I were to buy an android TV stick. I compared amazon.com to another site (visopix.com) I don't know either also if the other site is reliable. Any thoughts about them? Because if I order from amazon, it is coming all the way from China while the other is within the UK and both offer free shipping. Is it worth paying a little extra to get the item from within the country already or what?
-Cheers

Agreed.
What's most important is that you're getting what you think you're getting - not where it's coming from.
I used to own a MacBook - it came direct from China when I got it. Even if I'm no longer a Mac fan, I know that Apple is a pretty trustworthy company in that they weren't going to be shipping me a pirated look-alike or a can of beans.
I buy things on eBay directly from China all the time. I make judgments depending on how much I think I trust the seller and from reviews. It coming from China or Hong Kong doesn't mean it's a bad product. If I need it fast, I can usually find a warehouse in my country that is stocking the same thing - which came to that warehouse from the exact same place in China - it usually costs a little more to get the exact same thing because the people operating the in-country warehouse need to recover their costs, too. They're just a middle-man.

Thank you for you input. A friend of mine just recommended the other site to me and he seemed pretty happy about his recent transaction with www.visopix.com I suppose I will think about whether to settle with the middle-man or not. It's just sometimes I do not like how they do the packaging from China and I end up with a damaged box or if I want to return it and the shipping internationally usually cost more.

[Q] Why is Everything More Expensive in Asia?

Hi everyone,
I'm living in Thailand right now. Before I came here I was lucky enough to pick up the Nexus 7 (2012) 32 GB for around $230 at the time at Office Depot. I erroneously thought that electronics would be cheaper here because I would be closer to the source of production, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan for example.
However, it's pretty impossible to find a Google Nexus device out here. When I do find them they are usually $100 over what you would pay in the States at least. It seems like a lot of people buy Samsung tablets and phones out here but the prices are the same as Apple. A 2012 Nexus 7 would cost as much as the iPad Mini out here. I haven't even seen a store with the 2013 version available.
So why is this? Asus and LG are both companies located in Asia, but they pay maybe twice as much in some cases for something I could get in the States. Meanwhile Apple stuff is pretty similarly priced.

yes this is the norm in ASIA and third world countries, they basically try to claim government taxes and duties are at fault but I would assume the importers and middlemen also have a higher percentage and since there is no control as this would be considered a luxury item...prices are always on the high end compared to States and Europe. At times it looks so ridiculous that even at such steep prices, they are in demand and NO one really complains about it. . just my two cents
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​

This is because of government taxes
