It's not up for sale yet. But you can use an international credit card to pay for it. To get it shipped, you'll have to get someone to ship it to you.

friends, relatives, etc. those are your best bet. third party stores are gonna charge you extra on both device and shipping.

Or you could always wait for "water" products (imported) from the small stores. I was in Hong Kong this summer, the Nexus 7 2013 only took like 1 week from when it was on sale at the US play store. The typical price was around $2200 HKD for the 16 GB version, about a $400 HKD premuim. It'll probably cost that much paying double shipping by using comgateway.com or other mail forwarding service.
It will not cost sgd80 for forwarder...

im also from hk.. i think you should wait until it comes to hk.. the nexus 4 came in december costed 4k hkd which is good enough...
I live in Singapore where anything is subjected to a hike of around 30%-50%. The nexus 4 is sold here at sgd600+ at large retail stores... gpu can cost SGD 300 more

Actually, for Hong Kong users, it might be a really bad idea to buy from the US play store if any of you are planning to use it for 4G services. According to the LTE band thread, the UK version is a much better choice, mainly in that the US (D820) version of the phone will NOT work with 4G services in Hong Kong. Wikipedia says that the Hong Kong networks use bands 3,7, 40, the US version do not support any of these frequency bands, whereas the UK (D821) version supports bands 3 and 7.

I'd like to get opinions on the best website to order a Galaxy Note Edge/any cellphone from ?
Personal preferences would be:
- retailer wouldn't try to repackage and sell a returned/used cell phone as "new"
- has a good track record and reputation amongst customers
- keeps the customers up to date on current status of order/preorder(example: availability, current status, tracking information, etc.)
I previously considered Negri Electronics(www.negrielectronics.com), but I see that the owner sold the company late last year and it seems the website is no longer functioning for the past few days(or maybe it's just down).
Thanks in advance for your replies!

This will be my 5 th device ordered on www.clove.co.uk . Never had a problem , pretty happy with it .
I've already placed a pre-order for a black Edge
Cheers
Thanks Tossero for the info and link. I've heard about Clove a few times before. I've never directly ordered from a retailer outside of the U.S.(where I am located). I did however receive an iPad direct from China but I had ordered from the Apple Store online.
Do you live in the same country as Clove ?

Thanks Tossero. I'm putting Clove on my list as a possible retailer to buy from. Any other users from the United States purchase from Clove before ?
*Since September 2013, Samsung have implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock. Clove Technology only have access to the “European” models of new Samsung stock. The compatible countries are listed at the end of the product description.
All member states of the E.E.A and the following additional territories: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M), Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia and Vatican City.
So Clove will not work for us north americans (I'm from Canada)
Wow, looks like I dodged a bullet there. Thanks for the very helpful info iZack187. I had no clue about this and was really considering that company.
Just received from clove:
Recently you placed an order for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge - Black that was on pre-order and didn't have a price.
The product release date has now been confirmed as mid October and the price is £541.67 + vat.
If you would like to now pay for your complete order then please follow the link below.

Thanks danilos2k.
That's very useful info -- now we know it will at least be released mid October in certain parts of the world. This is good because I'm hoping it will arrive here in the U.S. before November.

Indeed... as much as I would love to believe that... Samsung did specify that the Note Edge will come at a premium price, and 541 euros does not sound premium at all... I'm expecting between 900 and 1200 USD$...

@ducster_usa @iZack187 I think this might interest you .
From Clove site :"IF YOUR CHOSEN DELIVERY COUNTY IS NOT LISTED, CLOVE TECHNOLOGY WILL BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS DEVICE AND ACTIVATE IT. YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE CHECKOUT BEFORE THE SALE WILL COMPLETE."
Cheers~
Now you're making me wonder... is there going to be TWO variants of the Note Edge?? One for SnapDragon and one for Exynos?? Or is it going to be a unified build...? I would really need to know this...

According to phonearena : http://www.phonearena.com/news/The-...rmance-according-to-latest-benchmarks_id61047 there are two versions of the Note Edge .
Maybe Exynos for the asian market and the Snapdragon for the rest of the world ?

Holy $%&!... I really hope the SnapDragon version is not as horrible as described! lol
"with scores comparable with the now aging Note 3" is the last thing I need to hear when I'm looking to upgrade my Note 3...
Thanks tossero! This is nice to know and at least makes me consider Clove once again.
Hi there,
maybe some of you done this before?
I`m wondering if there is any reasonable way to order Google Pixel from US with shipping to Poland?
I know there are available phones in EU ( eg. UK or Germany ) but there is quite a difference in prices (;
Thanks in advance!
Your best bet is ebay.

Hi guys
Where would you get this phone from for a person living in the UK?
I've been looking at eBay but they seem to be sold out or priced too highly?

I got mine (Gundam) from liaow. They're not the cheapest but reliable and great service.
Did you have to pay tax on top of the final price?
No - I'm in Canada.
I've gone for https://www.cect-shop.com/en/home
Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
I got mine on eBay didn't have to pay any taxes I'm UK aswell

Hey guys,
any advice about how to get the P7Pro sent to my country(Portugal)? My friend in Germany already received the P7Pro, but DHL told him that as soon it arrives in Portugal, because of the battery, it will be transfered back to germany!?
Which company can send it to my country with no restrictions? UPS?
thx in advance

It shouldn't, because my friend from Germany recievied it there and sent via DHL to Hungary. So, everything was fine. Same rules I suppose in Portugal.
My friend had to use Hermes from Germany back in the Pixel 3 days because of this reason.
Indeed standard DHL for private parcels does not allow for international shipping of dangerous goods, which includes devices including Lithium batteries What adds insult to the injury is the fact that this vital information is somewhat hidden and of course you are not informed when buying the parcel shipping (at least not online/via App)..... Don't ask why I know
Of course you can "play lottery" and hope the parcel is not caught .....
As alternatives apparently Hermes is a good as already pointed out, a bit more costly (but also faster) are UPS and also DHL Express....
Well, I went for the DHL Express Costs about 108€!!! My friend went to DHL and the guy suggested him to send with DHL Express.
Besides my P6, now I'm sure I'll sell the Pixel watch LTE too
Would have been easier and a lot cheaper to use a parcel forwarding service.
I ordered the phone from Google Store Germany, cost me like € 5 to get it delivered to Lithuania.
