Any Canadians with a GNOTE? (retailer/price and duty questions?)

Very interested in importing this thing to Canada. Wondering if any canadians here have bought it, if so...
1:Where did you purchase from?
2:How much did you pay
3: was there canadian customs tax and what not?
thank you so much for your input.

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.

Does the phone get delivered to the door, but you pay FexEx the $200ish within a month?

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.

Did you have to pay FedEx at the door with credit card or do you pay online later?

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!

Fedex sucks! That means the phone is so expensive after all the duties and taxes.

Thanks for the correction. I'll try throwing my friends Bell SIM in when I get my phone to verify.

Does Tmobile update order status on sunday?

I ordered my note 4 on friday with the most expensive shipping option. The estimated delivery date is tomorrow, Monday the 20th. But, my order status is still "being processed". I was wondering how accurate their estimated delivery dates are. I'm super eager to get the phone rawrr!

Not sure but I ordered mine from T-Mobile on Friday as well with free shipping and by Friday evening I had a tracking number for delivery tomorrow (Monday). I ordered it around 3:00pm ET. I ordered it in person at one of the stores.

I went on Saturday and they said they had sold out all 40! I couldn't believe it. My friend, who is on T-Mobile, went with me. I am on AT&T. We ordered one and they said the 28th which also shocked me. I have to ask my friend what the status is. I will bother him every day until I get it. Lol! Hopefully before the 28th.

I was told the 27th when I was in the store and ordered mine last Friday. Was surprised when I got a text that my order shipped with tracking that same evening for Monday delivery.

What locations had 40?

A store in Newington, Connecticut.

I ordered mines Thursday the 16th in store around noon, didn't receive tracking untill Saturday, ground shipping will be here in California on Thursday the 24th...
I use to work at ups in downtown Los Angeles, from my understanding UPS don't open on Sundays, so tmobile might print your shipping label or have your package ready to ship today, maybe.. But ups won't get their hands on it until earliest Monday.

T-Mobile sent me a text message with tracking before UPS even picked it up. Not sure if that is standard procedure or not but that was my experience.

I really suggest that you forget about keeping track of yorur order online. During the Pre-Order release, very few people had their online orders updated - even after the shipment had been sent.
Personally - my online order sheet/receiept - said processing for 1 week after I got the phone - and in fact I got an email from Tmobile three days after I got my phone that my NOte 4 was shipped.
I don't knwo why - but the online system for reporting and tracking from TMOBILE has had issues - your best bet is to go to UPS and setup an account for "My UPS" then try to track the package with your shipping address. - that is what many people did with the PREODER - and it was much more reliable than waiting for notice from TMOBILE -
Regardless of what you do - good luck and I hope you get your NEW NOTE SOON -it is an awesome phone!

You can also try tracking by reference number using your phone number. That is the only thing that worked for me. Despite having my name in the shipping address they actually shipped it to my company name and those won't show up on myups.

That's cuz tmobile and anyone actually, that has an account with UPS can print their own UPS labels. But ups don't process any shipments on Sundays. I can't say the same about Tmobile warehouses not working on Sundays though I have no idea about them.
Do what some people suggested and sign up for free ups account. You can receive text messages from ups everytime there is an update on the movement of your package. They will text you when it's been shipped or if there is a delay.

At&t is shipping

Just got my shipping notification on my s6 edge 128 gb black. Gets here Tuesday.

Same here, shipped and arrives on Tuesday same phone as you 128GB Edge. However second guessing myself if I should have gotten the S6 instead with all the reviews saying Edge is not as good as regular S6.

Did the previous shipping date quote for 4/8? I am wondering if mine has the potential to ship early as well..

Got mine too. USPS though.

Have had the tmobile version for a week I can say it is outstanding. I'm glad I choose the edge. So much more unique and feels great in the hand.

What were the order dates on everyone's that has shipped already?

They are almost identical. My only fear is finding a premium case and screen protector that I'll feel safe enough to protect the edges.

WooHoo! Got my notification too! It will be here Tuesday!

What was everybody's order date who has had their order shipped? Ordered mine last Monday, hope it ships soon.
Also are you guys getting notified through text or email?

i just got my ship notification at 6:31pm today , fedex 2day picked u in forth worth Texas, I re-ordered on April 1 after cancelling my order that was placed on 3/27, I had the t-mobile one and sent that back friday, after playing with the t-mobile version I can`t wait to get my Att one that has service I can actually use, also my original ship date was 4/8/2015 and I have the black 128gb coming

Yeah, my mom ordered the S6 and so did I and she texted me this morning saying she checked hoping it would ship and it hadn't. I just by random chance decided to check this evening, and... saw that they shipped.
My original ship date was the 8th, but have my tracking number and everything now.

I ordered on the 27th. Got my shipping email too. It's usps but I don't have a delivery date yet. After a failed attempt to get the tmobile version working it will be nice to have one working.
Edit: 128 gig Black

64GB Black pre-ordered last week. Still no shipping notice here.

(Sprint now Shipping) Has your Note5 shipped yet?

Has anyone had their order shipped out yet? Sprint stated they would start shipments today.
Edit: Received shipping notification at 5:22 PM

nope no email as of yet...i don't think they will start shipping until Monday..so once you get it, it will be closer to the actual release date.

They told me it would ship out around the 18th

"Your order for the Samsung Note 5 64GB Black has been received. For pre-orders placed through 4:00 PM CST on 8/18/15, we will deliver in 3 to 5 business days from the date of the order. For orders placed after 4:00 PM CST on 8/18/15, we will deliver in 2 to 5 business days from the date of the order. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience."

Same, 64gb Black.

I placed an order at 5pm PST on Thursday, 8/13/15, since the Sprint website said pre-orders being shipping on 8/14. My current status is still "waiting at the warehouse to be processed". At 5pm today, Customer Service Live Chat said that my order will be shipped by the end of the day because almost all of the pre-orders were practically ready for shipment at the warehouse. A few hours later, my status hadn't changed, so I contacted them again at 8pm. He then stated that it should now ship this weekend.
*Update:
At 11pm last night, I received an email saying that it shipped through UPS. The Sprint site says that it shipped and supplied a UPS tracking number, but the UPS site says that it's just "ready for UPS" and does not provide an estimated arrival date other than 2-day air.

This time its Sprint first. Last year, T-mobile users get their N4 first.

i'm not on Sprint, but FedEx tracking shows my wife's ATT Note 5 is scheduled for delivery on Monday, August 17th... surprised it's shipping that soon.

ATT also. Tuesday arrival. gonna miss my SD slot. but gonna love the phone no matter the difference

I ordered mine (black, 64GB) early in the morning of the 13th. My order status still shows no activity, just the 3-5 business days message. Live chat has been unavailable for the last several hours. They didn't waste any time billing my credit card, though. Looks like I'm snafu'ed.

Arrived early this morning

I Love Sprint.
