[Q]Shipping from Walmart online shop.

Hello everybody,
I wanted to ask you, especially someone from USA. I want to buy Nexus 7 32Gb (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Google-Ne...let-ASUS-1B32-with-Inland-ipad-folio/22409574) from this shop but it doesn't support Poland. So here is my question. Is there anybody who will pick up my package in USA and send it further to Poland by courier? I'll do all payments also including the cost of shipping package to Poland.
And if you agree with this proposition, I can give a small fee (15-20$). It's not sure yet, because my friend are going to USA and he can take it back too.
Also, for your info, I'll buy it in end of January/beginning of February
Thanks in advance
I suggest you let your friend get you one when he's over there, or find someone closer to buy from.
Sorry, but no transactions can take place on the forum.

Good place to buy online for Canadian shipping?

Hello Forum, thank you for your excellent support.
i'm interested in purchasing the C6606 once it is released and would like to find a fair and agile online reseller to hold and alert me of stock availability.
I'll be shipping to Ontario Canada - would prefer to order from a canadian reseller if possible. Any recommendations?

All I can suggest is to have a friend in the U.S. buy it with -their Credit Card-. You can reimburse them afterwards. Moto is doing address checks to match credit card address with shipping address in attempt to prevent fraud.
Another alternative may be to buy on Swappa - if you can find one customized to your liking. Just be sure to ask the seller if he/she is willing to ship internationally.
And finally, if possible, get the GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile) version (XT1053). It comes SIM-Unlocked, and bootloader-unlockable.
Good Luck.

UK: where to buy the dual sim (L29) P20 pro?

I am in the UK and am considering getting a dual sim (the L29 variant) of the Huawei P20 Pro.
Do you know of any store that sells the dual sim version (sim-free, unlocked), and that would ship to the UK? A reputable foreign store that would ship to the UK would be OK, too (but if from outside the EU, I must make sure that VAT and custom duties don't end up costing too much).
The only UK online store I have found is www.clove.co.uk , which is out of stock at the moment.
I understand Three UK sells the dual sim, but the Three signal is too unreliable where I live.
EE, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse don’t sell the dual sim (I asked their chat tech support).
I have found some supposedly UK-based vendors in the UK, that sell at £690 vs Clove’s £790. It seems like a good price, but maybe too good to be true? I’d think a reputable store would give me more peace of mind.
Amazon UK lists two external vendors which sell at the same price as clove, but some user reviews mention the box was opened and the phone covered in fingerprints (used phone? Customs inspection? A return?).
Thanks!
I bought mine from Amazon France. Got fed up of looking for it in the UK
Wondamobile. Com
Thank you, guys.
@qwerty1q, have you tried wondamobile? Does the price really include VAT and custom fees, as they say? You don't think buying from a UK store like clove is worth the extra £100 or so?
@dreamWille, do you remember if you bought it directly from Amazon France or from a third-party vendor listed there? Searching Amazon France now, I get a vendor that has an address listed in Spain.
Thank you, guys.

Bought my Mate 8 from them 2-3 years ago, no problems.

I always buy directly from Amazon because of warranty purposes.
Check all the Amazon sites (Germany, Spain's, France etc)
One of them should have it in stock
Currently have a note 8 duos, have someone willing to trade for a p20 pro single sim. Worth the trade? Honest opinions?
Model CLT-L04, what is the difference in models?

Don't hijack other people's discussions. Asking a question by opening a separate thread would be better. Also bear in mind you're more likely to hear pro-Huawei opinions on Huawei forums, and pro-Samsung opinion on Samsung forums, because, clearly, each forum will be more populated by people who have chosen that brand

Common sense, as well as explicit rules in most forums, suggest it is frowned upon to hijack discussions and bring them off topic. If this is not true of XDA, I apologise because I didn't know. I still dare question, however, what the benefit is of reading a discussion about where to buy an item to then find messages about how that item compares with another one.
Think you'd be lucky from a contract perspective.
SIM free maybe.
Try uSwitch they've got some nuts deals.
Or just buy my Oneplus 5 off me

Hi mate. I’m in the UK too and ordered it from Giztop. I ordered the 512GB model and it came to roughly £930 with shipping and 2 free gifts - the Aero Cooler and the official case. Pretty expensive but I doubt the phone will actually launch in the UK on 4th September as earlier mentioned so I can’t be bothered to wait another month.
You can also try out Aliexpress or Liaow. Both have it in stock and sometimes there are ones on eBay too.
Cheers.

I've not seen anything on eBay at all. Have you seen any good deals for the 128/8GB model?

I'm really curious how much the real global variant is going to cost.
I was considering the 512GB version from giztop and enjoying the global ROM they would load, but I don't mind waiting another few weeks for the official one with a locked bootloader so I can get OTA's and what not.

Can't you still manually flash updates? Global will definitely be expensive going by Rog 1 prices.
Who bought Asus ROG Phone II/Elite version 12GB/512GB from Aliexpress
Hello Everyone,
I'm Thinking to buy this as there is no global version yet here in USA, I was hoping some one might have bought this version.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000128227373.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.59e83c00ixRC7Z&mp=1
if anyone have bought this version, can you share the ROM version whether its WW or CN,TW. I know this isn't much of a big deal for some.
any suggestions or screen shots will be helpful.
Also i've consideration to go with Tencent Edition, but wanted to get the highest spec one.
Thanks

I personally think you're crazy if you pay almost double the price for that upgrade. The RAM you won't need and to pay $400 more for the storage is nuts. Get the 128GB version and save yourself some money

You do make sense, but honestly Its not big of deal for me as i bought Note 9 last year for the same price, i have been a sam/apple guy for years. I know 900~1000 $ for a phone sounds ludicrous for many. That's where the high spec phone NA market exists.
The Tencent edition is promising as its 545USD in ebay, but there is a lot of discussions regarding 4G bands not supported, so i was skeptical with thought.
my only confusion is aliexpress selling global version WW(Elite Version) 12GB/512GB or its Chinese Version or other.

According to giztop and many other sources, the 128GB version lacks important LTE bands.
Personally, it's worth it for the storage, but the bands can be very important.
I pre-ordered Tencent version 8gb 128gb from Banggood for 497€. Good price.
giztop is the best
ship very fast 12 days on italy
no taxes
paid with paypal a little bit more but high quality service
They sell the global model (ZS660KL-1A012EU) in some Asus stores like Belgium, Poland, Sweden but they don't send to other countries like Netherlands where i live.
https://eshop.asus.com/nl-BE/rog-ph...-zs660kl-1a012eu-6-6-12-512-gb-hdd-black.html

https://eshop.asus.com/sv-SE/rog-phone-ii-zs660kl-1a012eu-6-6-12-512-gb-hdd-black.html
It's not in the NL store, because i think they have some lawsuits here.
Got mine from JD.com. tencent version. 8/128gb through a friend from China.
Will check ND update.
From Bangladesh.

Found a new website from Canda
Hi Everyone,
I found a link for Asus ROG II Global Variant - 12GB/512GB from Canada, for 987 CAD$ ~ 740 USD$, Its showing they ship to USA with EMS Canada for 65 CAD$, total of 1049CAD$ ~ 789USD$, surprisingly low considering Aliexpress & Giztop.
I'm not sure about any taxes it did not show up even in the payment page just 1049 CAD$ only PayPal as payment option.

Edit: I found giztop ships to India. This is the first time I am placing an order from a unknown site. Are they reliable and trustworthy ?

Be careful from the looks of this it looks like the Chinese version with the global version flashed on-top. Why? Because in the specs it has 2x2mimo while the global should be 4x4mimo
