What????
No matter where you buy the Nexus 5... you will be paying sales tax, unless you purchase it from a company that has no physical location in that state. Technically if you do buy something that doesn't charge you tax you're supposed to report that in your taxes at the end of the year.
K.... being a non us resident & planning to buy from US just wanted to know is there a way to buy @ quoted price!!!!

If you're a non-US resident you'll still need to pay import duty and any other relevant taxes for your country when you receive the item.

How much on average do these countries scam people for on a 349. Dollar device?

Depends on the country.
Here's a calculator:
http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/
If you're in the UK you don't pay customs duty on imported mobile phones but you need to pay VAT at 20%, so it works out that a $349 phone is $418, or £260, which is actually more than you'd pay for the phone in the UK.

Thank you corporate America. Sorry yall, I couldnt hold it in, I had to express my joy to the world! Good bye hermes/8525, you've served me well!
so how's that? is that with a rebate, or out the door?
did you get a special discount?
out the door, retail, no contract, no upgrade!!! special discount!
Any way we can get a name or a photo of the reciept or something that we could take to corp store to prove it? I went to a corp store yesterday, and they refused to go below $399 even though I have a premier account.
Almost exact same deal I got. My Premiere discount is 60% on equipment's retail price. I got it for $240 + tax, no contract or extension, just out the door.

has anyone realized that best buy has been doing this for the longest?
since the tilt came out.
$250 a 2 year contract (369 one year..something like that) no rebate forms,pda plan required....what so ever.
some guys at ny.. times square tried to tell me that the att tilt simply wouldn't work without a pda plan therefore i must or i needed to add it to the two year plan/contract. As far as i know they dont advertise it though, but i couldnt even find it through their website..... -

Bingo lol!
im getting mine for 250 at the store...just waiting for a new batch to come in
Can someone explain what the big deal is with getting the phone for $250 with no contract? What good does that do? So you can use the phone on a no commitment, either prepaid or pay-as-you go plan? If you go that route you are going to pay considerably more than if you signed up for a 2 year contract, so it doesn't really make sense financially.
I can get the premier discount through my university, but why when newegg has it for $150 with a 2 year contract, free shipping, no tax?? That's exactly what I did.
The only advantage I can see for buying it through premier is if you are trying to upgrade your phone in the middle of your contract. Other than that, newegg still has the best deal. Period. If I am misunderstanding something please explain.

Because a lot of people already are in the middle of a 2 year contract, and don't want to wait 14 months until they can get the Kaiser for less than the cost of a used car.

Also, for those who don't want to wait for newegg to get them in stock (cuz they keep running out), amazon has it for $200 (I think) w/ 2 year contract.
How do you get a premier plan?
I spend a **** load on my bill, What is premier? I have a $200 dollar a month plan! But I don't think I'm premier..

thx for the link, but yeah that deal wouldnt benefit me in the long run becuz i have a GF data plan(19.99=unlmt internet 1500txt 50mms). Contract upgrades wouldve shifted me to a 44.99 plan! So I think i did good!

Expansys-USA.com, which doesn't charge tax in most states, now has the new Nexus devices up for pre-order.
Additionally, you can use MrRebates.com to get 2% cash-back.
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.

Hi, i heard that preorders are at the end of November, or 12th of November
Not sure yet. But i think we can order only Nexus 9 for now...
The pre-orders for the player start on 17, but the pre-order for 6 starts on 29.
late October for pre-order of Nexus 6
Awesome thanks everyone for the replies!

650 euros is significantly more than 650USD, ~530 is more of a fair asking price. I'll feel bad if someone pays 650 euros for a phone.

Price is not my concern but Taiwan is not in the 28-country lists.

I love this phone and I would love to move away from my Redmi Note 4 MTK for this one. But I live in Morocco and I don't know from where to buy this phone internationally. I found it on Aliexpress but the price is high and shipping only with DHL (which is bad in my country as the package always ends up in customs when we ship with DHL and we end up paying unfair prices for customs).
Any website sells this phone for a fair price and has standard shipping? (free shipping if possible)
Thanks guys

Im from morocco too and i don't think the phone will be available locally but if your are not in a hurry you can pre-order the phone from bangood, or you can buy directly from the official huawei tmall store through an agent(like cssbuy or superbuy ...), it's cheap but it's also a Chinese version and you have to pay the agent some extra bucks for shipping and service.
I understand it comes as import from the US, site is the same as for US buyers and price is quoted in USD.
Anything bad to report with customs, any extras fees or hassles?

That's why a lot of people have things sent to PO boxes just across the border when ordering laptops or phones overseas in Canada.
Also, a little over $800 is close to the right conversion rate on the camo RM3.

You rent a space at a post office in the US, and any packages that you don't want to pay duties or taxes on, you have them shipped there.
It does become an issue if they catch you doing it, but it's difficult for them to prove.
