You may have to try the link several times. Sometimes it gives a server error from tapatalk. But it works.

FYI, Aliexpress/manufacturer doesn't ship to all states and from what I've experienced, it requires a strict credit card check (majority of the time it goes through). I've had payments denied and needed to submit my billing and credit card information in order to be approved and before I can place orders (even this was a process to get it approved). Processing takes 5 days (as of now, its 10+ days until they have stock) and shipping takes approximately 2 weeks.

Mine went through without a hitch. Got my confirmation and order is processed. So what if it takes two weeks from over seas. I've ordered from them on multiple occasions with no problems. I just ordered two chips for 20 bucks flat. Can't beat that.

I ordered yesterday and received an email today saying it was shipped. Will update with how long shipping takes. It says 5-15 days estimated delivery time.

Great to hear man. Got my confirmation email the next day as well. Will update on mine as well.

Is it $10/piece or $20, shows the price initially as 10 but becomes 20 in the cart?
This is the link I'm trying to buy from.

I was just about to get one and then they bumped the price to $20 a piece :/

Yeah, just doubled!!

Per manufacturer
"As G3 PMA chip developing cost is much higher than qi standard chip,and the core material
which guarantee steady performance almost 3 times of qi standard chip after final check so we have to adjust the price"

well I was interested, but then the price doubled... and it's Ali, which means they won't ship to me... so I'm double F'd, oh well

See my signature. Preorders will reopen next week.

I ordered one. I'll let you guys know how things turn out.

Sweet. Mines in route now. Should get them this weekend or early next week. I ordered a few.

I asked manufacturer about orders from their Aliexpress being shipped since it seems they are still in production with these chips.
"Hi Friend,
Trust us,no goods delivery yet. Trust us.
We will delivery your goods first as we promised."
The emails you got about shipping may be generic email? Does it have tracking number?

Yes it has tracking number. It must be generic email when they ship in stock products. I will have to recheck and confirm dates.

I ordered from them and it shipped out of SHENZHEN.

Mine did too, shipping shows acceptance per the USPS website. They shipped USPS e-packet and usually arrive pretty quickly nowadays.
I picked up a few extra's if anyone's interested be the same price 20 shipped with paypal or google wallet.
I can provide my ebay id if your wary and just have a few extras to offer, figured be better to order extras seeing how we all have been waiting so long already....

Got it yet?

Z3 being shipped to USA

Hi everyone,
I recently ordered a Z3 from Handtech, and had them ship to the US.
The phone right now is "being approved by customs", as Fedex points out, but wont' give me any indication of a time frame.
I'm trying to see if if anyone else did the same and how long it took for them to "clear customs".

Which carrier do you intend to use it on.

I've bought 2 Xiaomi phones from China to US. Both times, they were at customs for maybe a couple hours. Then again, I had them shipped via DHL.
Sent from my Z3

Mine arrived at Fedex just after 10 pm one evening and I had "International shipment release - Import" just under an hour later. (like 51 minutes)

AT&T - and I plan not giving them the IMEI number, but just getting a new micro sim.

Just out of curiosity, why not just buy it here, via Sony online? Was it cheaper?
As for shipping it gets held up for a few days at port of entry (Port/Airport), Im guessing it has to go through inspection. I have ordered lots of stuff from China via AliExpress and eBay and shipment gets held up at Chicago for a period 1-3 days, each time.

I'll take a few hours... it's been a day and a half.
What's frustrating is that the folks at Fedex just repeat the exact same info you see on their website -- which is ambiguous to start with.
fingers remained crossed.

I had bought stuff from them while in GB, and had a lovely experience. Plus I had some credit left over, with them and used it to buy the z3. I will say that their service is still pretty good. They kept reaching out to see how things were going.
1-3 days really disheartens me, to be honest. You'd think logistics would be better situated than that.
thanks for the reply.

It would be customs check, logistics of carrier has less to do with that. I'm sure the government must be swamped by a large amount of stuff to check so its understandable.

Logistics was an inference to Customs... not holding Fedex responsible for the wait.

Yep, nothing can be done about that, even when I ordered a Netgear WNDR3800 router from US to India it was held up in customs for like a week lol, which is longer than the transit time, for some their package never leaves customs! At least its not that bad.

Customs can be tricky these days considering the amount of contraband that changes hands. Still, I had a phone in customs for about 36 hours so I think that's reasonable.

I guess I should also mention, the business that sold me the Xiaomi phones, labeled the package as a phone case and a phone LCD screen. So that probably helped it pass customs quicker.
Sent from my Z3

Yes, definately. They scrutinze electronics/valuables more and relabeling as asscessories helps escape import duties (assuming), they occasionaly do full checks from what I know and then you may be unlucky if your seller lied.

Network/signal antenna coax cable needed

I broke my network/signal antenna coax cable while doing screen replacement.I was able to get some signal after grounding and soldering a small wire,but apparently the network(data connection too) is not as good as when it was with the coax cable(of course).
I tried searching the accessories forums and all relevant threads,but couldn't found any link that isn't dead.
After googling,I could find some sellers on eBay.com and banggood.com,but sadly they don't ship to my place(that's rude of 'em).
Now,I really am in need of that coax cable to really use my OPO as daily driver,while travelling or using data connection(switches every time to 2G)..it doesn't really come handy anymore.It is not anything firmware related,that's I'm sure of,because before that coax cable incident,everything was working fine.
That's my sad story.. :crying:
If anyone know of any site or seller that sells that coax cable(except banggood and eBay.com, you know the reason),please do let me know so that I can use my OPO as daily driver again,otherwise I'll have to buy another device(which I really don't want).

how about aliexpress

Hello..
Thanks for the recommendation,but do you think it will be possible to get just one piece? I really don't need another antenna,just a single piece would do.
P.s: Just did a quick search in aliexpress and found that the link you shared is the only product available,so I'm just gonna order that,as it is much cheaper than the ones available on eBay.com and eBay.in(would've been quite feasible,but prices are just too high).
Actually it is first time I'm ordering from Aliexpress,and it is good to see that there are some buyer protections,but the max time of arrival is estimated as 60 days..they'll initiate refund if product is not delivered in 60 days.I don't think it would take that much for the product to arrive from China to North India.The max I can think of is 3 weeks.Have you ordered any item from aliexpress? If yes,can you tell me how much time it took for your product to arrive?
Thank you,again.
Ps2: I don't know why it is mentioned as WiFi antenna even though WiFi has nothin' to do with that antenna.That antenna is related to network only.
Ps3:Bought it at about 270INR.
Ps4: Sh*t happened! There is another product in 0.89USD!! Should've bought that!!
Is it somehow possible to revert my payment and cancel the order??! Please reply Asap..!
Ps5: I was able to cancel the order,the status now says 'order cancelled,refund processing'.
Do you know how much time it could take for a refund?
Also, @evronetwork ,you use aliexpress a lot..maybe you can help me with this?

You can't really predict the arrival time of the order. Its very variable and depends on the shipping method. I have ordered a lot from aliexpress and some orders arrived within 25 days while some other took 45+ days and there were 2 which never arrived. But there's nothing to worry because if you don't receive the order you will get an assured refund.
Your refund should get processed within 10 days. You can trust aliexpress though, they are professional enough.

Stopped recently using aliexpress and warning others to do so. I've used aliexpress for years well... if a seller is bad(cross roads with about 4 of them - really really bad not just negative) ...you can lose money, aliexpress protects sellers rather than buyers
So unless you don't mind losing some money avoid them

But what about refund tho? Refund of cancelled order? It's still processing even though I cancelled the order just after payment.
Btw,another order which I did,shipped today.I used Aliexpress 'cause the prices were cheap,otherwise I always use eBay.
I won't do any other order on Aliexpress,but I can't really take the risk to cancel the shipped order. :/

well if you have TOO many evidence ...you'll get your money, you might lose 20-30 days but you'll get it
Now if you want to cancel or send the item back for some reason ..and the seller is bad? you'll lose your money
You see you can open a dispute to cancel or send the item back BUT if the seller doesn't accept this, aliexpress doesn't do anything ...they say talk to the seller and when the time is out and the dispute has to close? it ends with sellers win - So he gets the money, amazing? ...sure it is
Cancelling an order and getting the money back it's up to sellers choice, if he's good it's ok ..if he's not well expect to be @!#@!#%

Okay,so I got the pm from seller.She says 'Since you cancelled the order just after placing it,we never got the money.Your money is safe with Aliexpress.They'll refund the money to you after processing it i.e., within 10 days.If you don't recieve your money even after 10 days,kindly contact Aliexpress customer service.'
Does this actually mean I'll get my refund? Tbh,I don't know what's making the refund late..I mean I cancelled the order just after placing it,so the refund shouldn't take that long,right?
I seriously should've used eBay and paid a few more bucks.Their service is much better imho.

Yeah if you cancelled before they press send you are safe - They usually press "send" even if they send it a few days later, sometimes 10+ business days later - You're in luck
Ebay is safe but usually more expensive and this paypal convertion is "stealing" for sure but better safe than sorry I guess - Usually ebay sellers don't ask for any proof if things go south, in aliexpress? expect both seller and aliexpress to ask for as much proof as you can get and you might be lucky
Just wish ebay had the variety that aliexpress has, aliexpress has much more products and little parts than ebay like 10 times more
When repairing, tablet, phones, photocopiers, laptop, printers etc ...you need little parts most of the time and having hard time to find one single place like aliexpress did - but enough is enough, can't waste money or time to prove I'm not an elephant.

Hello again.It's been 8 days and I still haven't got my refund.The seller said that I'll get refund in max 5 days.How can I contact Aliexpress about this issue?
Now,seriously,such waiting time for getting a refund for order which I cancelled as soon as I placed?! Disgusting!
Ps: Apparently,they were having national holidays in china from Oct1-Oct8.Just great!
Could this be a reason for late refund processing?

Don't worry banks do take a bit, for 45 days since the first purchase you are secured(more or less) - also in aliexpress they do check the messages between the buyer and the seller - so don't worry too much

Ali Express Recommendations

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 ?

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Oneplus/311331_515316811.html?spm=a2g17.12010608.nav-list.36.44257b99Ma8S05
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 think your missing the point,
I'd still have to pay €750 for the phone that way I could actually do that now if I wanted to but I wouldn't be saving anything

Site is trusted & tested ,If Anything goes wrong AliExpress team Steps in & Almost gives decision in favour of customer. They Even sometimes flash International rom on it. I ordered Oneplus 1 from them & several items afterwards

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!

Looking to find a Reputable Seller to ship to Canada

Hi
I am looking to purchase the new Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra China Version and have it shipped to Canada.
Could someone suggest a reputable company to buy from?
Looking for the 16GB RAM 512GB version.
Thanks!

The site doesnt seem like much, but I bought my Oppo Reno 10x from them last year. Shipping was very fast, took only a few days to get to Ireland.

I've read good things about tradingshenzhen. I haven't used it yet but will probably buy from there.

i've bought 6 phones from Liaow excellent experience each time 4-5 days shipping to the states. i was gonna buy the mi 10 ultra, but found a find x2 pro for a excellent price. I may still grab one though!!

Try Wanda Mobile, ive used them in the past and all good to UK

I have ordered this phone to the UK thanks to this post. I have bought from China before and expect no hassle especially being in the UK (and hope any USA buyers have no problems!) but thanks for this post as it helped me made my mind up. Plus they take Paypal, and I have paid via credit, so if anything goes wrong they can get invovled
Edit: so today I had an nice email from Liaow. Just checking I know if the phone will work in my country, warning me about customs tax if they open it, just everything really. Made me very confident, they have some shipping delays due to Corona but we're still looking at one week in total. I was very reassured, the guy had perfect English and checked on things most suppliers just would not bother with.

Liaow also shipped my phone last year with DHL. I orderd and on the 8th of July I got an email from them with the waybill info and also a photo of the package itself. 3 days later on the 11th of July I got an email from DHL for customs duty to be paid, it was 47 euro. So 3 working day shipping from Hong Kong, that's what I call fast shipping.

That Mike from Liaow is the nicest guy ever. Not only did he contact me before confirming my order to make sure - a nice thing to do for international sales but not something I've ever seen before! - but he's kept me updated every step of the way with photos of the packaging, the address label for me to check and even weighing the package for DHL!
Liaow.com really went above and beyond. They even put the price of the phone as much lower than it really is for customs.

I got mine 16GB RAM from ALI BABA , seller name is "Fujian Century Sea Power Co., Ltd. Manufacturer, Trading Company"

For me, the recommendation goes to Wondamobile - 4 days shipping time from china to central europe, quick and helpful customer support and they promise to pay import fees themselves, should any arise.

I've got mine from mi4canada.()com and I have only good things to say about them (the shipping was with dhl express and it took 4 days to deliver). It's the second phone I've purchased from them.

I got mine 16GB 512GB edition from liaow.com, Mike- the site owner is the most responsive and helpfull man. I will buy one more silver tomorrow.
