Hey all,
Im looking at getting the TF with the dock but not sure if i should get it here in the UK or get it in US and have it shipped. The reason I'm thinking of the US is for 2 reasons:
1. Cheaper
2. Better updates (they seem to have more features?)
While I know it will be a longer wait for it to be available properly in the US, it might be worth it.
What do you guys think?
id suggest the UK. There are various problems that mean you may need to return/exchange it ....
(mine still has something rattling around inside it)
once the ROM community kicks in and the ASUS updates settle down im guessing that updates will come via custom ROMs as opposed to waiting for official ones to filter to the UK.
I bought it from this site
http://www.laskys.com/computing/laptops_and_pdas/tablets/asus_eee_pad_transformer_with_docking_station.html
Delivery is due on Tuesday.
used Laskys a few times and found them quite good (well no problems and quick delivery anyway!).
I guess you guys are right, best just get one here and be done with it.
I bought from Comet, direct from store. They only seem to have one per store so maybe worth a call first.
Mine seem fine with no issue, but only 1 day old.

Comet and laskys are essentialy the same company anyway...
got mine from laskys too..very quick delivery... I called the support hotline for a replacement because the first unit I received had serious light bleed, the support guy quickly ordered a replacement for me..(no question was asked at all)
The replacement turned up the next day (i was very surprised) and the parcelforce guy took the faulty one back...
can't complain that
the coemt and PC world here both have the tablet, but not the dock.. the guys at PCworld (suprisingly) were excellent - really knew their stuff!
This is a query just for Indian dbrand skin owners.
I have ordered Nexus 5 dbrand skin just 2 days back. Shipping address is for panchkula,HR. How much time it will take to reach here? Also, how much time it took yours to reach your location ? A reply with location will be really appreciated.
Note to mods: I created this here to get feedback for Nexus 4 skin owners as the time probably will take the same as for N4 orders. I did query at dbrand skin thread in nexus 5 section but none replied. :/
Thanks!

I'm in Mumbai. I ordered, got their shipping confirmation in 2 days, reached me in 6 days (after shipping). So a total of 8 days. I'm assuming around 8-10 days for your location most probably. If not, then maybe sometime around a week. If you do not get it in 2 weeks, send them an e-mail, they'll resend it for free.
Well I ordered mine, and as per dbrand, Delivery in India takes about 6-8 weeks. I wrote them when it was 4 weeks that I did't receive it.
They asked me to wait for another 2 weeks. I still did't get it and mailed them
And they dispatched my order again.
It has been a week since they re-dispatched my order. Lets see how long will it take.
PS: Normal mail reaches me in about 5 days from Canada and I'm in Noida. So not much an Interior part of India.

is there any one else in india who sells similar skins
Are you guys using Tracked Shipping or the "risky" option?
I did not know this thread existed before I ordered mine (just now). Hopefully I will get the order delivered.

i want to know one thing.... there are two kind of shipping:
1) canada post ($28)
2)local indian post$5)
could you please say which postal service you opted...
My first order never came to me (risky shipping). I emailed them first after 4 weeks and they told me to wait another couple. Then I emailed again after another 2 weeks (total 6).
They reshipped it a few days back (4th Dec). Let's see if it makes it to me this time. BTW I live in New Delhi.
My order arrived in 7 days via normal shipping. I lived in Noida then.
Help me solve my dilemma
People who received , which one did you opt for?
Any reviews on risky options. I see these warnings
1. It arrives on time - Excellent
2. It arrives late -Ummm. OK.
3. It does not arrive at all - What concerns me
Risky shipping is $USD, but Reliable one is $28. Its way too costly
Some advise?

Did you use the tracked shipping or the risky one? How much time did it take you? I am from Mumbai.

I ordered through risky shipping. The first order never made it. They re-shipped on December 4th. That hasn't made it either and I don't have any hopes that it will arrive. I would recommend you order through tracked shipping.

I have ordered two dbrand skins via the 'risky' shipping and they've come through on time. Don't know whether I was lucky or whether the indian post is actually reliable, lol

Oh sad to hear that and thanks for your input. Tracked shipping is too costly though. I am searching for people who also want to order Dbrand skins and we will order as one package amd distribute the shipping costs.
Yup. That's defintiely a good plan.
for shared purchase dbrand
I would like to go for stickers of HTC ONE M7

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p
Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.
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.
I just ordered the new Pixel Tablet with 256GB. It will work nicely with my Pixel 7 Pro and replace my aging Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus.
$599 with the dock, less the $200 credit from my P7P purchase last October.
Delivery is June 20.
Is anyone getting one?
Hi,
Defintely want to get one to match with my P7P but I am wondering about the stylus functionalities though.
I saw in the caracteristics of the Pixel Tablet that it supports USI2.0 but I don't know that much this standard.
Anybody knows anything about how that'll work? Anything comparable to what Samsung does?
Thanks
I ordered one arriving on the 20th too. Haven't had an Android tablet in a long time and looking forward to blocking ads which makes my iPad so annoying.
Hope it's just like my P7 Pro with a bigger screen
Just got a notice that my Pixel tablet will be delivered tomorrow. Too bad that I am out of town until Friday.
That sucks, however, you've got another thing to look forward to upon your return. Mine came today and I'm setting it up now. New factory image posted, as well.

Are you going to root? Glad the factory image is up in case I bork it.
Did anyone have delays in their order? I have a vacation coming up and they claim to be delivering at the day before.
mine was shipped "overnight delivery"
