Buying from UK, which store?

Hi,
I want to buy the Kaiser from UK to the NL.
Anyone can recommend me a good online store that does not need complicated process?
I dont like when they ask me to make a copy and fax a whole lot of documents (passport, credit card, electricity bill, birth certificate, and whatnot!).
PS: No expansys.* please.
PSS: or if anyone know NL online store that has Kaiser in stock now? (I searched but found none).
Thanks!

Hey,
I've ordered mine with www.devicewire.co.uk to Belgium.
Spoke with a guy named Richard, he is very prompt to help me.
Paid with an international Credit Card, had to show my passport and that's it.
The device Arrived today already VIA Ups.
Have fun,
NADAVI.

Hmm, I went to their purchase page, but the online form only has UK as the country destination.
Did you fill in the order online?

Yes, I closed a deal with clove. Nice people there!

I have to buy this phone pretty quick (my Universal has literally died today)
Should i swallow the £470, or do you think i might be able to get it cheaper if i buy it from the US? (i have friends who can send it over, so i can avoid import tax)
SOOOOOOOOOOO want this phone, screw the Omni

I recommend Clove. Ordered mine this morning (Wednesday) to ship to Florida. It was probably 2pm UK time. It was in DHL's hands within 2 1/2 hours and I expect to receive it Friday. They generally ship same day. Bought my TyTN from them last year, I also received it in 2 days. Very fast and friendly service.

bersca did u need to give them any special info or just norm CC and add? like did they need passport ect. also are you having to pay import fees at all? Im in CA and was looking at ordering it from them but if I need passport and other crap might just get the ATT one when it comes out or ebay one.

Here's a site in Holland.

You have 2 options:
1. give the authorization code of the transaction
OR
2. give copy of certain documents (e.g. cc statement, etc.).
for option 1, call your cc service, and ask about your transaction with Clove. Then ask what is the authorization code for this transaction. The cc service should inform you a number.
Then call Clove, inform that number.
Done
no need to copy and send any document!

Uk shipping to india - advice please

Hi
I need to ship an item (Touch HD) to India but don't know where to start with regards looking for a shipper.
Has anyone else advice they can share?
Thanks
Andrew

I bought a Tilt from USA, it was shipped through USPS to Pakistan via priority mail international and reached here on 15th day.
so you use the Royal post or something similar.

DHL or FedEx should not take more than a week! 15 days is too much..

Some known intl couriers like DHL, Fedex would do the needful, if you are careful about money go for Royal shipping. BTW which state you want to ship to. You should be careful about the state as it depends on that as well how much time is that gonna take. Good Luck.

I'm pretty certain Royal Mail won't insure mobile phones sent abroad, certainly to India anyway.
Do be very careful on choice of carrier, and insure that they do specifically cover postage of Mobile phones as many do exclude them.
Also, if your taking payment by paypal, ensure it can be electronically tracked as you'll need electronic proof of delivery in the event that the buyer claims non-receipt.

The market place is for selling / buying and trading only.
Advice will have to be sought in the off-topic forum.
Thanks

OK Thanks Dave, and thanks guys for your suggestions too

HTC One 64GB Developer Edition - Where to buy in Canada?

I'm looking to buy a HTC One Developer Edition in Canada. I recently just contacted HTC, and they can't ship to Canada, what bull****. But anyways, where can I find a Developer Edition that will ship to Canada? Cause I don't wanna pay way over $700, cause that's how much it is on HTC's website.

Bump.

Some Canadians are buying through friends. Others have reported that VPN/Parcel Forwarding/US dollar Visa will work. I'm working on this issue now to see if I can get it working. I'll report back later if I can.

I have had luck. I went through HTC website and used a parcel forwarder.
Steps:
1) Get a US Dollar Visa - I used RBC which has a $65 annual fee. Some of the other banks have much cheaper cards, which you might want to look into.
2)Use a free VPN to get you to the checkout section of HTC's site. I didn't have to use a VPN to purchase on the HTC site, but I did use a free VPN which didn't support SSL on port 335 that the webstore uses. I just used the VPN to get me to the checkout stage and then I turned it off and completed the order.
3) Step up a parcel forwarding company and get a US address. I added the mailing address of my parcel forwarding company to my VISA. I then used a different address for my parcel forwarding company (by accident) and no one *****ed, which is odd.
4) A few days ago the phone arrived at the parcel forwarding company and we got it reshipped. Currently it's in customs somewhere and I should have it in about a week.
I think that the ordering criteria must have been relaxed a bit because I didn't have any trouble getting one of these shipped out. I didn't really use a VPN, I used the WRONG mailing address which wasn't on my brand new VISA, and I had a fight with the parcel forwarding company. All of this and the phone was shipped and then reshipped. Probably costs my another 100 bucks for the dev edition.
I used http://www.shipito.com/ for the forwarder. If you buy yourself it's postage + 4.3% of the postage + $8.50 USD to have the item reshipped. That worked out to 34 something for me (I pay a 2.50 instead of 8.50 because I bought the annual plan).
In total this cost me :
The VISA annual fee - 65
THe Parcel forwarding Annual fee - 50
The Postage et al - 34
The phone dev edition - 650
The visa and forwarding service I'll get lots of other mileage out of later.
If you happen to live in the Edmonton Area I can help you out, since there are some financial commitments of the VISA and parcel forwarding service you may not like. If you have any questions PM or post below.

Thanks for the info. I called HTC and asked them if id be able to ship to a hotel when I travel to the us, but they mentioned Id need a US credit card ( and also add the hotel to my cc). since I dont have a US visa, I couldn't order. I'm in Ottawa, but thanks for the offer. i'll see what my bank offers for US Visas, and see if I can have it shipped to a hotel i'll be at. If not I'll try as you suggested. I didnt even know parcel forwarding services existed.
Thanks again,
ck

There are charts that compare US Dollar VISAs. Here is one, there are a few others I have come across. I think I cheapest annual fees I have seen arr around 20 bucks...
http://www.milliondollarjourney.com/top-us-dollar-usd-credit-cards-in-canada.htm
This site is about a year old. I've read stuff on just getting a US VISA from a US bank in the states as well. There are some problems with that because the US uses a different credit rating system so you'd have zero history. I think you might need to have a SIN number equivalent down there as well. If you live close to the boarder getting the package is much much easier though. Most people just set up a mail box at a US post office and ship to it, travel across and pick up there goods. There are companies that specialize in this type of service actually. I don't live close to the boarder at all... (about a ten hour drive) so I don't have any recommendations. I just know I've come across them before online.

Im with RBC, but looks like the TD might be the best option. Thanks again for the info. Great community here.

Just curious if you ever managed to get a HTC One ordered?

No I wasn't able to order the HTC. When I called HTC they mentioned to just add an address I was visiting in the US as the billing and shipping address (hotel, family, etc). So before I did this I tried calling my credit card company to add one of those addresses as a billing address but they kept saying they were unable to do that. I tried a few times, but I think now there's probably a note on my file (whoops).

Hmmm that's odd. I had no problem adding addresses. I even added the wrong one and it still shipped, to an address that wasn't even on the card. Is it a US dollar visa?

Tiger Direct Bundle Deal

Some one asked about this in the Best Buy thread, but I thought it may be worthy of another thread.
Tiger Direct has several bundles which throw in a free book cover and 16GB microsd. To sweeten the deal, they also have a $20 mail in rebate, and if you have an American Express you may qualify for an extra $15 off. This is a pretty good deal if Tiger Direct doesn't charge tax in your state.
Here's links to more info:
Tiger Direct
$20 Mail in Rebate
$15 Amex offer
After using the tab for about half a day now, I've had some laginess issues which I believe may be due to the Exynos processor-- but I love the screen so much it is worth the compromise.

Try Nova Launcher. TouchWiz is a lagfest. Also as soon as we get a few solid roms going from freeza et al lag will go away.
