Buying Mi 9 - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm from Miami.
I want to buy the Mi 9 on Aliexpress.
If I buy it, does it reach the door of my house? Or will there be problems with customs? Should I pay taxes?
Thanks

Tax from AliExpress really depends on your country and your luck. You can ask the seller to give the lower declared price but the "tax" part usually depends......

Ali Express will not declare a lower value. You may get lucky, but it's highly likely you WILL have to pay import duties. Sometimes they do however shipping from a different warehouse, in your country.

Where to get outside China?

Hi Folks!
I'm groupie like interested in the Phone.
Does anyone know a reference option - in my case to germany?
Please only real suggestions - ie shops in which the device is already available / orderable.
TradingShenzen is known already.
Who knows more?
Update -more shops:

I am very interested in this phone. Hope there is a reputable company we can buy it from China and ship it to the states
Gearbest.com have already confirmed they will be stocking the phone on Nov 4th. Also worth checking the official Xiaomi store too
I've always had good luck with ibuygou.com. I've bought my Mi4c from GearBest, and it came with a fake MIUI ROM. So now I avoid GearBest.

gearbest has them on preorder but the prices are insane. geekbuying also has them for noticeably better prices but i haven't dealt with them in-person ( general opinion is that they are okay)
geek link ( 38-47 days until shipping):

Do you have experience with TradingShenzen? I'm also looking for Germany delivery
Otherwise that the only reasonable price.. All others are heavily speculating I'd say 800 USD

No sorry no personal experience.
They exist since a couple of years - so they seem to be no short living "one hit wonder"

this is actually slightly more expensive than the shenzen link for 256gb model, but cheaper for 128gb
do you have previous experience with this seller? their webpage is literally less than a month old.
P.S raupe, i don't want to look rude but your signature is needlessly big, you could sort it horizontally. Show some love for other people's mousewheels
I've pre-ordered from banggood.com. Took me a while to find the "pro" 18k version that comes out less than $1000AU to avoid import tax, and I still had to apply a coupon. It currently fluctuates daily around the $1003/1004 mark. They do not get stock in till the 30th...but...first of all I want to wait for reviews. Second of all there is a nice big button next to the order in "my account" that says "Apply Refund"
Thank you for the thread. its scary as prices gone up already !!!!!!!!! OMG

one of those crazy sites has increased the prices by 150$ just after 24 hours of the conference OMG
Such a shame it doesn't have global LTE bands.

Anyway it is meant for the Chinese market only but luckily it works in my country , the real challenge if I can get one with the expected slow production !!!

just for teh lulz i wrote to banggood about a price match from that shenzhen company. would be great if they matched it - the other page has it for good 50 euros less ( 60ish usd?). i mean, one can dream, right?

"Thanks for your interest. It looks like Xiaomi Mi Mix will have limited production of only 10,000 units per month so we had to stop taking pre-orders because we're not sure when it will become available for shipping. You might want to consider Mi Note 2 or Mi 5s Plus instead. Or we can contact you in a couple of weeks when we get more information? "

Mi Mix 2? from gearbest.com

i found this browsing http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_624119.html if real which is questionable because of all rumors about it, but if, I hope the rear camera slides up to reveal the front facing camera, I hope
back design is horrible... but why gearbest start a new notice campain about an unrelased phone ? Xiaomi doesn"t talk about it...
I like how it looks, but it goes with without saying.
I'm guessing the picture is just a placeholder since that's been around for almost as long as th Mix. Also, the rumored display ratio is 93% that thing looks more like 99. A phone without front facing camera in this day and age would be an extremely tough sell obviously.
If it has North American band support for T-Mobile and a decent dual camera setup, I will preorder it. The original Mi MIX got a lot right, at least in my opinion.
Mi mi mix whas destroyed​ the last weekend.
What do you think that I have to do?
Buy another mi mix or wait for the new model?

The new one will be better obviously but the specs on gearbest website seem too good to be true. Can you wait for more than 6-8 months for a device with unknown specs?
Sent from my MI MIX using Tapatalk
I hope will be less time.
6-8 months is too much.
If I i'm shure that will be 6 months I don't wait and I buy another mi mix.
This is the question/situation
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI NXT-AL10 mediante Tapatalk
if it's true I can only hope that Xiaomi will not make the new mix with ceramic materials, aluminum or metal with gorilla glass 5.?
lol 6666.00 ... nice
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 will be released in October or November.
Quick question: to U.S.A residents
If i buy from Gearbest i'll have to pay any customs fee?
If yes, anyone have a idea of how much it be?

Customs fees vary a lot thanks to variables. If it comes through DHL Express, expect to pay $25 on top of whatever the Customs and Brokerage are. Sometimes things do come through without any major fees but that seems to be getting more rare with every passing year. Although I can't say for sure based on variables like couriers. I'd say, on average, expect about $40 to $50, if you get charged, and that is before any of the courier fees are slapped on top of that.

Ive bought from Gearbest and banggood.. Neither site have I had to pay custom fees. They usually mark the value of the package as $20 or something and say its an MP3 player or camera..
Just pay for the shipping insurance or shipping with tracking. Itll cover you even if it costs a bit extra

availability - when and where

so far i've seen it being sold in a fishy uk online store, which i'd rather not buy from, and romanian and polish stores, which i don't have access to.
chinese online stores shipment takes ages so i'd rather skip those too.
how is it possible to be notified about it becoming available (actually in stock) in new stores in the uk and in around europe? is it predicted to happen soon or it might take a while?
I suggest that you wait for amazon.it , amazon.es. If you have friends in France they can buy it in eLeclerc on 27.8.
I bought mine on gearbest yesterday. Shipping isn't bad for me in the US, I paid 5 extra dollars for 7-10 day shipping. And I got a free $40 mi band 3 which is a good deal.

Is that more trustworthy than Gearbest? They still haven't shipped mine :crying:
It's supposed to be restocked on the 31st, 1-2 days to start shipping, and then 7-10 days to actually ship. It's a pain.
thanks all

Would you be so kind as to notify us as soon as it arrives? I believe all of the websites are "preselling" it, but I may be wrong. Also could you tell me how the connectivity is for your mobile network? Thanks mate

Yeah I live chatted gear best, they actually get their stock on the 31st. And it'll take 1-2 days to process, and then 7-10 days to ship. They offered me a refund or an exchange instead but I said I'd just wait. So it'll probably be another week until I get it. But as soon as I do I'll post.

USA. So far, it's pretty good, but basically a Mi A1 with a better camera and 18:9 screen.
I have it since yesterday. Love it, I get a nexus feeling with stock android an such good overall speed.
i ordered one waiting for shipment , I read many negative reviews so kinda ruined my excitement for it =( How is the battery. I ordered the 6gb version, do you thinks it's worth over the 4GB?

purchase asus rog 2 phone

where can i purchase online the phone china version no problem.
Yeah, couldn't find it on aliexpress.
Giztop.com has it listed
You will need to wait 3 weeks or 1 month or even more. The stock is limited they are currently locally selling the phones in batches every 4-7days and every time it's sold out.
Is Giztop even legit? I feel the list thing as in stock but ship it 1 month later. Also it's at an inflated cost right now being $100 more, I would wait a month
I've bought a phone from them before and purchased this from them. I'll see when it ships and arrives.
It looks like Alibaba is selling them. https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=asus+rog+phone+2

Liaow is a trusted seller, I can confirm.

I've bought my last 3 phones from that shop, including my current ROG 2.

Hi,
I received it at my door 4 days after them getting the first stock (they use DHL Express). Usually full processing, shipping and getting through customs takes max 5 days.
I did of course get to pay customs tax, around 28 EUR (+-30 USD), I live in Barcelona.
It arrived in perfect condition and included a simple charging adapter.

ok thanks for your info, i live in Czech Republic so it will be similar
Liaow is $200 more than original price. it is quiet expensive without including shipment cost and customs.
giztop probably buys from JD and marks it up by $100
Even if you live overseas, you can purchase this mobile phone at the Chinese version of jingdong.com official store.
liaow wants $1150 shipped for the RoG Phone 2
I hope prices go down eventually. I am content with my OP7 Pro but would like something with better battery and no curved edges.
Something tells me it won't go down, blah.

is it reliable? the only chinese I buy from is Aliexpress, and sometimes the vendors are mean/tricky. i found this one:
https://item.jd.com/100006808184.html
But i m relying on google translate to understand the page... I m a bit worried about risk of not being able to communicate with the seller or so if anything happens... and there is no shipping cost?
Also i was reading the comments on the phone on JD and soo many complaints about defects in screens. it seems they are suffering from quality check ?
which makes me worried as Asus won't support tencent out of China...
And I tried to create an account and it requests to use phone number. I added my phone number but not receiving sms with the code. I guess they have the international code to my country wrong.
Thank you

Best (cheaptest) place to buy?

Again the Uk has got the ****ty end of the stick when it comes to pricing. Being nearly 600 quid here.
So where are the best places to buy?
