where did you buy your mi max 2?

Hi!
Im just wondering where you bought your mi max 2 and from what store?
I can figure that most of you bought it through Aliexpress? Was it goldway or "xiaomi store"?

Geekbuying, as well. With a discount.
Alright. Thanks for your answers! . What kind of rom did you get on your phone? "shop rom", chinese without play store or real global with OTA support?
I purchased mine from gearbest. I got the Global rom with 64 GB. It should be here tomorrow. The global rom versions of this phone should come with the google play store pre-installed.
I used xiaomidevice.com. Shipped using DHL 2 days ago, and is currently in the process of clearing customs!
Nextbuying global rom...3 days dhl delivery...
Mine had a global rom out of the box and I've updated it with a ota right away. Then unlocked the bootloader and rooted!

I got mine yesterday and updated with the OTA as well. Just curious, what guide did you use to root with? I actually like the UI so just want root and custom recovery. Not interested in flashing any roms.
From the official Xiaomi store in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong.
From mi.com/in India's official Xiaomi website.Bought within 30 secs of commencement of the flash sale. The sale started at 10.00 am and within 45 secs it went out of stock. lucky me.
Buy from my local store , with global rom and bootloader already unlocked. Then I flash manual (becoz unable to OTA update - maybe fake global rom) with official rom from miui.com stable 8.5.4.0
Then root it and install many apk that need root access
Got one gold from bestgear had it 6 days later. Got 2nd one black from AliExpress. And took 4 weeks

Anybody ordered yet from CECT-SHOP, TradingsShenzen, Giztop or other shops yet? Have any info about the shipment or the orders are still processing?
Have heard that orders are starting to ship from January 11th, so would be good to know if this is true.

I've ordered from trading Shenzhen and giztop before. Both are pretty fast. Tradingshezhen customer service sucks though, I asked if I would be able to return a phone if I left it brand new sealed in box and they told me I would have to pay $50 + return shipping + I think 20% restocking fee and I better like the phone. I would have understood if it was something like shipping + 10%, but what rubbed me wrong was how they told me that I better like the phone. I kid you not that's exactly how they said it to me lmao. Giztop was okay, their support was a lot more professional but they got some information wrong and they also took too long to ship out the phone I initially wanted. I eventually ended up cancelling the order and ordering a different phone from them. That one came pretty quickly at least. I used the GTRE4 code or something like that to get a discount as well. Both places have marked up prices compared to ali so you are paying a premium for faster shipping.
I've ordered my mi11 from aliexpress since it was the cheapest option, and only like $20 more for twice the storage. Plus most places didn't have the leather options that I wanted. Hopefully it ships out soon. I remember I ordered a poco f2 pro from aliexpress and it never shipped even after waiting over a month. I ended up cancelling the order and getting the ace2 from giztop.

Question Where to buy?

Where is everyone picking these up at? Sale Prices?
Nice question.
I bought it on AliExpress when the early bird discount was on, you can still purchase it for the normal retail price, they ship from China, Spain, France and/or Poland.
Ok, Thanks. I will wait for it to go back on sale in the future... shouldn't take long to be back on sale with all the new phones being released.
I've been keeping an eye on Aliexpress these days and found the price fluctuating a lot. Alarmingly so.
And there're not many sellers having this phone, so the choices are limited.
I have a feeling that Xiaomi is spitting new phones way too fast that the retailers and consumers can't keep up.
I bought from Aliexpress launch special at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wor...108MP-Camera-Snapdragon/1005002136612866.html
Arrived yesterday so ~16 days after ordering to Brisbane, Australia
came to AUD$379 after local cashback rewards applied on top of special

I dont know about Giztop but I ordered from Tradingshenzen this Mi 11 Ultra and last year K30 Pro Zoom and everything was perfect, shipping was faster than Aliexpress and they test the phone before they ship it, also you get a discount code for next buys. 10/10 for me.

I just received my phone from Giztop, 256GB Ceramic Black China ROM. I selected express shipping and got it in around 7 days. It came via DHL from HK shipped to my house in US. I selected the 67W charger which came in the box as well. I had no issues and can recommend them.

Ordered from tradingshenzen. Took few days to get it delivered from China to Switzerland. Customs was included. Can't complain at all.
Where to buy the Mi 11 Ultra?
Currently, there's no official way to get the Mi 11 Ultra. As soon as credible stores have the phone, I will list it here.
