I too asked the same question in another thread but got no reply...
When I ordered my Nexus One from the States I remember having to pay a pretty high customs tax or something...
Maybe I should just wait surely it's going to come to Canada at some point...? $800 max everything included and I'd consider it... I'm not sure if more than that is worth it... Surely the price will go down...? But I really want it now!

thanks for your reply, im also considering buying from handtec, since im in alberta i prolly wont be paying hst, the max they can give me is 5% gst i believe ? including the brokerage of course.. kinda blows canadians get nailed up the ass on duty, was reading the american thread and they didnt even get any duty..wtf.
Hi there,
I take delivery on Monday and I will reply.
I also got from HandTec. My total CAD for phone and shipping came to $776. I am expecting some heavy duties. I can understand the Gov. charging huge duties on items available in Canada for purchase through a Canadian retailer, but the Note isn't.
My budget was 1k, so I think we HandTec things are going to work out just fine.

Can you post the link to the store? I can't find it, I get a 404 message at www.mobiledna.ca
Edit: Ok I found them on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mobiledna
Honestly, I don't get it. They are a Bell retailer. Do they know the phone will not work on their frequencies?? Something fishy going on.
the fishy thing about this store is they are bell and they don't have iphone 4s!!! the only good thing about this store is you don't paid tax if you paid cash
My Note arrived Nov 1 (delivery date) from Negri Electronics, cost was $823.71 after a $35 discount with overnight Fedex from Hong Kong, customs clearance took one day, taxes were around $35 paid to Fedex, fired right up with my Rogers sim, apn was correct, 3G/HSDPA connection, speedtest are around 4-5Mbps down 1-2.5 up here in downtown Vancouver, on wireless the speeds are similar to a tablet 30-35Mbps down, 5 up on my home network.

yes, to my door. i paid cad200 to fedex right away for two notes.
I ordered mine through Basatne Electronics, who are based in Mississauga. I called them up several times and managed to find out that they have two warehouses - one in Mississauga and one in Hong Kong. From the feel of the conversation, the Galaxy Notes they have are almost definately located in Hong Kong. However, the employee reassured me that even if it was shipped to me from Hong Kong that I would not pay duty or whatever since I paid sales tax.
Their price is pretty reasonable, at least compared to ebay, and they're based in Canada (and close to me) so if I end up having a really big problem with the phone or their service I can just drive down and talk to them in person.
My order came out to $1,010.22 total including tax and the free Fedex Express Priority shipping. Should arrive on Tuesday.
I would post a link to their website but new users aren't allowed to post a link so... yeah. Google it I guess.
To find the Galaxy Note just search it in the search box on their site.
MobileDNA are not that fishy. They take phones that are compatible with Bell (hence Rogers, TELUS, etc) and sell them straight up AND/OR contract. They are selling the note at $149 this weekend for 3yr activation with Bell. I activated with them when I got the white SG2 before Bell got it.

Taxes and Duty
Purchased from Handtec, and it's supposed to arrive on Monday morning. Fedex called me to say that my taxes, duty, etc. will come to $105.54, and they won't leave the phone unless I pay them on delivery.
Glad to hear you can just drop in a Rogers sim card and you're good to go!

Sorry if this is redundant to Black Friday post but I thought it was worthy of attention.
If you have purchase an AT&T tilt within the last 30 days, the original purchase point will credit you back 50% of purchase price today through Sunday only! (Fri.23, Sat.24, Sun.25))
I just got them to credit back $150 to my account! I thought that the credit was post rebate, which would have made the credit $100, but I got the full $299 price reduced by half! SCORE!
Everyone that can should take advantage of this rare gift from AT&T.
i believe it's only certain states that get the 50% off.

same here I'm in Missouri and I bought mine on the 13th this month, so maybe they'll drop the prices here in a week or so.
I called an ATT store and they said there's no credit back or any discount on a purchased tilt!!
what if you ordered the tilt from the premier site?? Does this count for a 50% refund?
30 day price matching
I had to physically go into the store but others were able to call in.
Don't let them bull**** you and tell you otherwise, everyone is eligible, the caviat being it had to purchased from AT&T direct.

Do you live on the west or east coast? I'm on the east and went to the AT&T Tilt page on their site. If I put in my zip code, it's still $300. If I put in a zip code from the west coast (I tried San Francisco, California), it's $150.
Called ATT just right now and they credited my account 150$. It took me 45 min and asking for the supervisor to get to it. Now im just waiting for the 100$ rebate to sweeten the deal.
I was only able to get $100.00 but I ordered it back in mid Oct. so I missed the 30 days by 5 days! But then I'm not going to sneeze at $100.00!
I just (2 hours ago) bought a tilt from ATT website for 399 w/ 100 rebate. R u telling me I can get another 150 back? I dont care if it took two hours - I would love to get my phone for 150. What is the offer info?
Damn I order it back when it first came out.
just add an additional line for $149 after $100 rebate
Can someone give me the info on the deal? I can find the 50% off select phones, but I cannot find any HTC, much less Tilt incl in the offer. I would like to get 150 back - who wouldn't? - and if I have the info I will, but what am I going to say, "People on the forum are getting it - why can't I?"? I am not too confident with that approach. If you got the deal there had to be an offer - so where can I see the offer besides word of mouth?
Please.

I just went in and purchased the Tilt and got the 50% offer. Now as mentioned it's in 'select' states but I think a simple call to a local office should suffice. I will say that when I went in, it was marked at that price too. It's basically $249.99 with a 2yr Contract (new or eligible upgrade) less the $100 mail-in rebate... here in Sacramento, CA... so net price of $149.99 after rebates + tax.
As to the refund... well I'd think you'd only be eligible to get that as if you were going to return it and re-buy it. Under that criteria, if you can do that, then you should be entitled to the refund. If it was purchased online, etc., not too sure what the specifics would be...
Thanks! I will check it out tomorrow. For sure.

Good luck! If you're within 30 days, there should be ZERO reason for them to give you any problem - provided it was from an AT&T Corp store. I'd position it as 'Well I can just return it and then re-buy it.' Maybe choose better wording but you get my point...
the torrent of swears that i have to unleash because i bought my phone 2 days too early would without a doubt get me banned from this forum.

Expansys-USA.com, which doesn't charge tax in most states, now has the new Nexus devices up for pre-order.

Thanks for the heads up. But it doesn't tell me if they will charge me sales tax in California. If I don't know this then it's not worth pre-ordering through them. Can anyone tell me if they do based on past experience?

They don't charge you until you accept the cost once they get their shipment. No risk just pre-ordering and finding out if there's sales tax later
is there any benefit buying this from Expansys vs the Play store besides that you can pre order right now?
Looks like this is for the 8gb model, do they have pre-orders up for the 16gb model?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Just weary of putting my bank info out there if I don't have to so I like to know its a sure thing before pre-ordering.
Also want to make sure this comes with a U.S. 1-year warranty from Google. I'm used to Expansys being the place you order foreign phones from and if anything goes wrong you have to ship them over to Europe or whatnot to get them fixed
What do you guys think about the price on Expansys? Will it be much bigger than 300usd compare to the Google Store? If not, I would order it from EU.

Yeah, my order came out to no tax and no charge for shipping.
Ordered it on a Thursday afternoon, was ready to ship by Saturday and got it 4 days later in a small box on my doorstep via FedEx Ground.
Great phone, but looking forward to the Nexus 4 and considering ordering it from them again to save on shipping/tax to California. Plus cash back is available at various sites.

I'm trying to pre-order it off contract which is likely the problem. The Sprint customer service reps had told me I would not be able to pre-order because I'm not eligible for an upgrade. But the website lets me add it to my cart for 549.99 so I thought I'd give it a shot. Oh well, I guess I'll try the telephone sales department when they get in.

They would do that. Apparently KEEPING customers is not as good as getting new ones! I really hope RadioShack offers that deal for One preorders. That, or I'll probably look into getting one from Best Buy (if not as a preorder, then at least with some gift cards that I have). I'm not in a terrible hurry to get the One. Kind of wanted to see some demo units before jumping in anyway.
Yep!

Yeah, they charge taxes in California based on the full retail price of the phone. So depending on where you bought it from, the "off-contract" price would be the price they use to charge you taxes.

how is that legal? sales tax is supposed to be based on what you pay, not what its worth.

I bought the phone. It was a bit of a process but easy. You have to have a service plan for them to sell you one. So I signed up for the phone and the cheapest plan they would get me. Then went home and called Tmobile customer care and paid the balance of the phone off. Then went to cellunlocker and got an unlock code. Then for the next day or so I used it on AT&T to make sure it had no problems. Then I called up Tmobile and canceled my plan.

Yes, but they want me to put $420 down just to start a plan with them...if I'm going to pay that much down, I might as well just buy the phone outright. I was just seeing if there was an alternative.

Yes, but if you are up for a 2 year contract on AT&T you can by the AT&T version for discount then sell it for $750 + then by the t-mobile version and save yourself about $350.

please tell me where you're going to sell an AT&T Note 4 for $750. The market value is like $600.
Here is another thread about this:

I hope there is something that helps there. Looks like you might want to try Best Buy.
I know people are doing this because of att's lock down policy.

People seem to be having luck at Rent a Center, as well.

Thanks! Rent-A-Center seems to be the way to go. Pay $40 down and then choose how you want to pay: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

I put mine up on Craig's list for 800.00 and it sold in a few hours. The full price of the phone on AT&T without a 2 year contract is $825.00. As long at you sell it for less than that it sells pretty quick. Don't know where you got the market value is 600.00 if you are selling it for 600.00 you are getting ripped off. They go for way more than that. Even on ebay most of the auctions are finishing in the $750 range.
Put mine on craigslist 3 days after it came out in Washington DC area. Took 3 days to get a reasonable offer- $760. Sold for that amount. My brother listed his on craigslist three weeks later at $650, didn't get any bites for a few days and finally had to settle for $600 (this was one week ago). I'm not sure where YOU live, but the market price for the AT&T version of the Note 4 is certainly around $600. Look at Swappa: five phones listed for under $630. You know how much they make after the $10 fee and shipping? $600. Do not advise people that they can get even close to retail asking price for the AT&T version. Maybe the T-Mobile version... that price is holding steady around $680-$690.
Yeah, there are a couple T-Mobile Note 4s on Craigslist around here for like $550-650.

Well that sticks for you I guess. There are plenty selling for $750 on eBay and Craig's list. Swappa always has **** for prices for a seller. Look them up on eBay. And there are tons up for sale in my cities on Craig's list for $750. Just had a friend sell his yesterday for $780 he didn't even bring it home from the store, found an offer before he made it home.
Sorry you can find any one to buy it for more than $600 but that send like a you problem, not the going rate for the phone.

Ok, sell on eBay for $700 (if you're lucky, still seeing recent sold ones for ~$650) fee break down: $70 to eBay, $20 to PayPal, $10 Shipping. Net $600. I don't know why you're arguing this... any way you sell the phone you're going to be getting ~$600 for the phone, give or take $25.
Yesterday's average selling price on eBay of new or like new AT&T Note 4s was $657.08 with a standard deviation of $53.32. The median was $664.43. So If you're that middle guy, selling for $660. You'd be getting $660 - $66 ebay fee - $19.44 paypal fee - ~$10 shipping fee. You're looking at $564.56. Even at the top end, you're looking at $608.46
OK, so Rent-A-Center has them for $29 on black Friday and you have 90 days to pay it in full. So...having it paid in full in 3 months is a cool deal.
Now...has anyone got one from Rent-A-Center and will it work on AT&T and use it as a T-Mobile device as far as rooting, flashing, etc.?

Full price on the rac version was 890 +tax locally.
Anyone heard of any sales on the Note 4 for new subscribers at TMO?
Really want to make the switch to TMO and get an N4 at the same time but not sure if I should wait for any deals.
I know the N3 is $100 off but I already have an N3.

It is most likely that there will not be any Black Friday or Cyber Monday promotions on the Note 4 by T-Mobile. They have had some online web-only promo codes for $38 (or was it $48) dollars off, but that has since expired. I would recommend you check the t-mobile front page every couple of days or so to see if they bring that deal back again. Last I saw the promo code for the web-only promotion was "NOTE4DEAL" but I believe it has since expired as mentioned before.
Best Buy has also ran out of stock on the Black Note 4 T-Mobile model for $699, so maybe check with them to see if they restock.
Frankly speaking, there will probably not be any significant deals on the Note 4 that would net you over a $50-100 discount anytime soon. So it really depends on if you would like to wait another couple of months and maybe find a deal, or spend the money to get it now.

Costco had a TMO deal that expired 12/1 where they gave you $125 in Costco Rebates and waived the taxes for the Note 4. I was on JUMP paying down my Note 3 at $31 a month and just traded it in (I have to mail it in 30 days) for the Note 4 at $31 per month. That was the best deal I came across.
