Where is the best place to buy unlocked overseas phones from, especially the sgs2, A lot of the sites do not seem very safe
Ebay
Use ebay. Because if you go through paypal you can dispute a claim if it ends up being a bad sale.
Expansys-Usa or Negri or New Egg. If you shop around and wait and look up coupon codes, you can find great deals. For instance you can get a new unlocked canadian nexus off of negri right now for $565 shipped. Overseas customers make Ebay ridiculously expensive. Unlocked Iphones sell for more on Ebay than they do directly from Apple...I don't see how that makes any sense...
Went into BestBuy to get 2 Otterbox Defender cases. They had black priced at $49.99 and purple $49.99 when online said they were on sale. Went to ring up and they said they were on a bundle sale. One was going to be full price and then the other was going to be 1/2 price. $49.99 (1) $24.99 for 2nd total $74.98 before tax.
I said I wasn't going to pay the price I could get them cheaper online. The only reason I was buying them at BB was because I had a gift card. The sales staff scanned the barcode and said he could sell one to me for $24.99, he didn't say it was on sale or not but when they looked it up at the register it still said $29.99.
I told them to look it up on their website and it showed the in store price $29.99 not the $49.99 and $34.99 not the $49.99 price they had in store. Then it showed the black being on sale for $19.99 and the other for $24.99.
Store price: Both cases $49.99 (Big Difference from $29.99 and $34.99)
Online price showed $29.99 on sale $19.99 and $34.99 on sale $24.99 WHICH BestBuy Did price match their own price.
It seems crazy that a tech company can’t even get All their pricing on the same page. The floor sales person scans the item and say’s one price, the register scans the item and comes up with a 2nd price, they then look up the price on their website and find a different price to manually enter the sales price and credit my card.
They did match their own price although over the course of this I realized their price match guarantee excludes 11/28 - 12/2 very interesting.
Your english is interesting. Just kidding.

No doubt I was doing this from my phone so it is very confusing. I'm going to revise it late from a desktop. My main issue is to always research because once I put it all together it appears that the price was increased in stores to look like a sale.
I realize that the 64Gb version is $349. But, it has to be shipped from China , go thru US customs, applicable sales tax in Masachusettes.
SO
Shipping cost = ?
Custom duty cost = ?
Massachusettes tax = ?
I had, couple of years ago, bought a phone from Canada and when the USPS was delivering it to my door, I had to pay an additional $33 immediately (I assume Massachusettes taxes and or Customs-I don't remember which)
So I take the 349, add a shipping cost (I am guessing) of $15:00, plus Custom duty/Massachusettes sales tax of about $33:00 will bring the real cost to my door of approximately $400 and change. So the real cost to me will be approximately $400 give n take. It is still a good idea but real numbers mean more than just a listed number.
Any one out there that has received their Oneplus in the USA, what were those other costs?
Thanks in advance.
I can't really answer your question, but for me in Germany/EU there were no extra costs.
300€ + 5€ express shipping + a few € for a screen protector.
A user asked the OP support for the costs and they replied:
Thanks for contacting us. The price for the phone itself (64GB) is USD349, plus shipping fee of $16 for standard and $19 for express, hence the total cost will be around $365-370. The tax is included in the price.

First off, the phone is not shipped from China. It is shipped from Anaheim California. The tax is included in the $349. Shipping is $14 now I believe, when I paid it was $360 in total and delivered via 2 day usps to new York.

That explains why I got my OnePlus One so damn fast I live near Anaheim lol Anyway, the standard shipping was $10 and $350 for the phone, I didn't pay a penny over $360.
oki doki, the shipping sounds reasonable and I like it. Thanks all for your responses.

There's a return address on the yellow envelope you can see where it is coming from.

New Lenox, IL - $11.99
Minden, NV - $10.34

First time I hear about this one...
I did mine with cellunlocker.net and was really satisfied too. It was 20$ US and I got my unlock code in less than 2 hours.
This one was all Canadian dollars. I paid $20 literally no no tax or some crap fees. Cellunlocker shafted me a few times though
Seller on eBay never_MSRP has a coupon "PICKDADSGIFT" valid until 7pm PST. $100 off price of $544 makes it $444. This coupon seems to work for any phone the seller has - I tried a few in the cart. Seems to Max out at $100 savings and came up less for some phones example the mix 2 at $388 ended up being $311. I bought a mix 2s for $444.
It's a site-wide eBay coupon, not just that seller. Works in US/Canada/Latin America/Caribbean.

You can change the url to .com and update your main adress to on in the US for example to get the discount everywhere in the world with items from your country(tested it from germany)
After posting found out it was a sitewide 20% off. Still nice to have $100 of the mi mix 2.
