hey guys, i have a question, im in the UK and want to buy something from google play....but it doesn't say anything about shipping? will the item be shipped from a UK factory? because i don't want to get it sent from overseas for example and they charge me import tax/vat
Does Google Store accept payments from outside the US? I'm thinking of buying a Nexus device through the Play Store and ship it to a shipping company that gives me a US address, which will in turn, deliver it to my home outside the US. So yea, do they accept any payments from VISAs and Mastercards from any place in the world?
May be they will just deliver your purchased device as long as you pay them or if u contact them correctly and clear so that they can access you with proper address.
I think yes (I'm not live in US)
Hello,
I've just ordered a Nexus 5 from Google Play and sent it to a friend of mine in US.
I used my credit card but in the billing address I used the shipping address (in the US), so it will let me purchase is, because Google Play doesn't sell it in my country.
The order was successful, but I heard of people who ordered but later got their order declined because of their credit card country that mismatched the shipping address.
Does anyone know after how much time I can be sure my order "passed the test" and won't be declined?
Thanks,
Elad
Hi everyone,
I am thinking of ordering a 32GB Nexus 5 from here, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GD9R79O/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00GD9R79O&linkCode=as2&tag=warpwhistle-20 I was just wondering about Warranty if something were to go wrong with the phone can I return it to Google Play. How do I get it transferred to my name?
Warranty is done by lg if you didn't buy it from google play, and if someone bought it from google play and gave it to you as a gift its also done by lg... stupid if you ask me.
Its better to order it from Google play because you have a 1 year warranty if you need to RMA just call Google and they'll send you a new device then you send them back yours when you receive it. If you buy it from somewhere else you'll have to send it to lg and wait for them to fix it or send you a refurbished device.
Sent from my NEXUS 5
Could I not just get the receipt from the seller and transfer it to me if they bought it on the Google Play Store?
I bought my Nexus from UK but I live in Bulgaria
LG Bulgaria will keep my warranty?
I called a Google rep and they said all the original buyer has to do is call in, give them their billing address, name, and the phone's IMEI. They'll confirm their information. Then the original buyer gives google your name, email, and billing address and they transfer the warranty to you.
All of this information was given to me under the assumption that I had received the phone as a gift. If you tell them you bought it off someone from Craigslist, I'm not sure if that would disqualify the warranty transfer..
I got mine on eBay and bought along with it a one-year warranty against malfunction, drops, theft, and loss for $75.
What is wrong with Google Play Store? Just order from there and save hassle if it comes to it.

Just try to think about outside of US. If you receive your phone as a gift from someone from another country, you need the warranty. It is a shame that Google is unable to provide worldwide warranty and stick the users to their location.
Other scenario is if you move away from the country you can screw up your google play store warranty.
Hi,
My Nexus 5 was purchased from the U.S. Play store, paid for with a U.S. card and delivered to a U.S. address. (my American colleague helped me out with all this!). My Google account was set up in the UK, although I am now living in West Africa, in Ghana to be precise
Google have kindly agreed to replace my handset, which I've managed to get back to the States. They can send me a time-sensitive URL to sort out the replacement process which basically involves entering U.S. card details for payment although no funds are actually removed from the card itself.
The problem is I need to access the U.S. Play store on my notebook so I can properly use the link (which is somehow linked to the U.S. store) but even using a VPN and selecting a U.S. city, I'm not managing to get into the U.S. Play store and see USD prices, still seeing UK
Does anyone have an idea how I can get into the U.S. play store while still based here in Ghana? If you've done something similar before, I would really appreciate some detailed instructions
Thanks!
