we have them for the iPhone at work (bestbuy) but i've only ever seen the microusb variant on their website, and only the DWA065, not the WL (guessing difference is green instead of blue?)
http://www.dexim.net/us/wheretobuy.html
lists a couple different places, though it doesn't have Best Buy on there, which does carry the iPhone cable.
however this is from that page:
Please see the distributor/retailer map below and select your location below for a list of suppliers in your area.

they should have used a note to annotate the email needed to be a clickable link on their webpage! instead they left the note in the code, haha.

I can't find it anywhere on there web site for places to buy . I even check Bestbuy only shows the version for Apple ?

[Q] Importing experience

Hi there
Has anyone who has imported a galaxy tab 10.1 from the states to Europe/UK comment on their experience please, ie how much was duty, tax, VAT, where from etc.
Its just that Im planning on buying one from ebay US since the tab isnt probably going to arrive here in France till after september and I've already been waiting to buy a tab since the original 7 inch tab came out and cant wait anymore!
cheers
You will pay a hefty premium on eBay, sellers look like they are charging way over retail, plus tax when it arrives with you.
It's a bit early for anyone to have any experiences yet, unless they got one from Best Buy in NY last week, but then they'd have probably brought it back in person and may have avoided taxes.
I ordered mine from Amazon via a mail forwarder, should be with me by the middle of next week. Expecting to pay around ~25% of the value in taxes and duty, so anything less than that is a bonus. Still works out to about the same price as the wifi Xoom over here, so I'm happy.
You will need to do research for your country as to what is charged if you want to have any hope of an exact price.
Great I found this thread !!
Amazon isn't having issues shipping to mail forwarders right? Because best buy is, also amazon selling white or metallic grey?
thanks in advance
Cheers

There is no import duty on the tablet in the UK, but you will pay VAT at 20%. A guy on these forums posted about www.bundlebox.com which is a forwarder. Apparently they offer warranty cover as well. We are discussing it over here:

White are BB exclusive so if it's from anywhere but BB they are metallic grey plasic made to look like metal.
Which mail forwarder do you use?
And which method did Amazon use to ship your item to the mail forwarder?
I have setup mail forwarder (BongoUS.com), but I don't sign the USPS form 1583. So, the mail forwarder cannot accept item shipped via USPS. Anything else, UPS or FedEx are OK.

I'm using Comgateway as the freight forwarder to ship my tab to Australia. I've used them several times and the service was great. They are based in Portland, Oregon..so you don't have to pay any state sales tax. They will ship your item through DHL.
Amazon used ONTRAC when they sent my order and it reached CGW on Friday morning.

Ok, so what will you do if the item is faulty?
You are asking about warranty
Of course this is the risk for people who import because as we all knew, the GT10.1 does not have international warranty.
It is a gamble, but it is not the end of the day.
You can return it, but you must pay the shipment your-self. More or less like this. Fried forwarder will handle return.
So, it is your choice.
It is a big gamble in terms of cost. If it is OK, then good! If it is not OK, it means you must spend more money (return processing).
NOTE: I checked comGateway.com, it seems OK, but I don't find any business address or customer support phone numbers. This makes me think to use their service, although it should be OK (I read some reviews). But, I want to be able to contact them quickly (by phone) if anything bad happens.

Electronics are late & overpriced here, so I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take when importing stuffs If, the product is faulty...most probably will try to contact samsung or return it to amazon.
Ive been looking into the forwarder Viaddress. Has anyone else used them or heard anything about them? They advertise themselves as being much better than the others. Also Im not keen on filling out the 1583 form so Im thinking about using Tigerdirect as they use UPS to ship items as opposed to Amazon where you cant choose your carrier.
update: from what Ive read, Viadress doesnt seem to be a very trustworthy service. I think Im going to go with one of the ones thats been mentioned here instead.
I am going to use TigerDirect as well for UPS shipment.
And for the forwarder, I use BongoUS.com. This is my first time experience.
So far they are ok, support responded my questions quickly, also checked their live chat. And they have phone number where you can contact, also the company address is clearly visible in their website.
https://bongous.com/contact.php
However, to use that, you must pay one time fee $5 (no monthly fee) and your credit card will be verified (by sending a small amount $0.1 - $1.0 and you need to tell them that).

Im looking at using Bundlebox now. They seem very good. All tax/duties are included. Its going to cost me 559euros all up for the 32GB model. I think thats pretty good. How much is it costing you? btw I think we're having the same conversation over 2 threads lol
I don't like the included tax with the forwarder.
Because there is chance their calculation is wrong? Or double charged by the tax office in our country?
So, I want the forwarder to not include the tax. The custom will charge the tax anyway.
Seems safer to me.
I have no idea how much in total because I don't know how to calculate the tax in NL.
I could assume VAT 20% though ... shipping cost to NL would be around $50. .... So, ($500 + 20% * $500) = $600 + $50 shipping = $650 USD = 454 euro ... not bad.
But again, I don't know the tax/duty, never done this before.

There is no duty in France but there is VAT/tax. Calculated on their site its 95euro, which is around the 18.6% VAT charged on goods+shipping costs etc. So its correct. And even if when it arrives I have to pay more, I can just refuse it (unless its only a couple of euros)
On the bundlebox site they show you the tax/duty by country
From their site for NL:
http://www.dutycalculator.com/help_center/Import-duty-taxes-when-importing-into-the-Netherlands/
Thanks for the calculator, I found there is no duty as well. So, it's good
I will order this evening at TigerDirect.
And you? Made up your mind?

Isn't Amazon listed on BundleBox as one of the most popular stores used? If so, surely you can use Amazon?
does anyone know the dimensions of the package? also check out this one

I found the NFC + Wireless Charging Sticker

I thought this may come in handy for anyone wanting to add wireless charging to their g3 without having to buy the the official circle case. This supplier also offers a circle case with wireless charging sticker already installed.

Doesn't look like they'll ship to US. When I try to checkout, the item removes from my cart with a message about not being able to ship to my country. Bummer...this was exactly what I'm looking for.

I would message them because it clearly states free shipping to the US via e packet. I also changed the link so it isnt a mobile link. Try again.
I tried again and changed the site view to classic at the bottom of the page. It let me process the order this time. Now to see if this will actually work. I guess $10 is pretty cheap to test this out and not be forced to purchase a qi case.
Seems to work for me. Actually when I opened up the site, there was a pop-up that specifically said the company ships to the US.
I ordered one, but it will take forever to get here (15-26 days) via "Chinese Post Air Parcel" which really means it's loaded on a slow boat to America.......

Description says the package is 5 stickers, so I'm hoping both are included.
So can I use this without the case?
I'm confused by this product. Can I use it without the case? I have the gold Sprint LG LS990 and I don't want to use a pink (in photo) or grey(in description) case. Plus, I was reading another thread that said that some of these backs are not really working on the US phones because of the location (and number) of the pins. 2 vs 3. I don't see the LS990 mentioned anywhere on the page. I'm not quite sure what the supported values D885 D830,D851,D850 F400L,F400K,F400S are.
15-30 days shipping to USA.
Just a thought, but if someone wants to organize a group buy, you can get a lot of 5 for $32, $22 fedex shipping. Get 5 people to pay about $15 and that should cover US shipping to send them on once they get here. Probably faster than the poor guy they have swim across the Pacific to get them here...

I'd do it, but they won't ship to WA state.
"We are sorry, but due to legal restrictions, AliExpress is unable to provide escrow services to residents located in Washington State."
Does anybody have any idea if this will work with the Verizon model? The model number isn't listed but I'm not sure if the internals are different from other models?

No way to know till some people get them in and try. We found out the hard way that the ATT model won't work with the Qi back plates, so no idea if the VZW model will work with these. Even though the seller claims TMO compatibility, we don't really know that for sure till someone tries it. It wouldn't be the first time some vendor made an assumption about compatibility that turned out to be incorrect.
Don't suppose you have a link to the case do you?

buying it in ebay from south korea

Hey all ,
I want to buy this watch and I noticed many sells on eBay from south korea.
watch has a very good price and according to the list it should work fine in my country as far as bands.
also asked the seller if I'll get FOTA updates and he said that yeah.
so my question is , can anyone think on other reasons why I shouldn't buy it from there?
sell for example : http://www.ebay.com/itm/321576361962
Thanks for your help
On the side of pessimistic, I'm always very careful about ordering anything from overseas. Mainly cuz what if something goes wrong???
Once i ordered a fairly expensive HD IP Cam from Asia, and when it arrived it was clearly a fake. The worse case I know of, is a co-worker that ordered an Galaxy
S5 from Korea at a great price.
After a few weeks, weird things began happening.
By utilizing a few sites that specialize in spotting fakes, he would've never been able to tell that he got taken and bought a cheap clone. And the kicker of this story, the fine print in the con's listing forced ebay to rule in his favor.
So overall, try to order products from US vendors and be sure to read the description in its entirety.
Sorta like the guy that bought a picture of a gold iPhone for big $$$, cuz he didn't read (or maybe doesn't know how).
Good luck!!!

I think that for hige-end devices such as this it would be very easy to spot a fake product , for example , curved screen is not something that every manufacturer can make.
and as you said , ebay buyer protection plan can always save you.
in addition there's the whole feedback system that if you know how to work with you can figure within 2-5 minutes of investigation if the seller is reliable or not.
my main concerns are about the version of the watch , will all apps work on it etc.

Don't be so sure on the looks alone. Take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/gear-s-150-t3001480
First off. This model won't work in the US.
There are a lot of different versions of the GS... Each for a different segment of the world. I would do some 2G/3G/4G frequency research on the model you're buying and the provider you'll be using it with. Also, make sure it's factory unlocked... Trying to get it unlocked from another country would near impossible.

yeah , $150 for a brand new watch is of course a ripoff.
you're right , the south korean watch won't work in north america , but as you can see I'm not from US
I guess I will cancel this order though , since I found other seller from Europe who also promise to cover any customs duties if it gets stopped.

Sold out online, none of their distribution centers are reporting actively having stock (assuming they work like Walmart does).
You could try what ChazzMatt said and query for your location, but you'd get a more certain answer if you call your local store and ask if they have any in. It's entirely possible that they ordered a few with a display unit, and/or someone ordered one in and decided to get something else instead.

Any way to pre-order in the US?

Is there any website that would ship to the US? I really wish I could jump on the deal on the UK that comes with free watch GT and free wireless charger but I know that won't happen but is there at least a website that would sell the phone and ship to the US? Or we are stuck with having to wait months until they start showing up on swappa and ebay?

Thanks! I thought about it again an since I would not qualify for the free gift it would be $1,180 for literally just the phone since the supercharge 2.0 would not be compatible with US plug. Being able to charge 70% in 30 minutes was one of the big pros for buying this phone but without that I think I'll have to hold on with the Note 9 for a long time, maybe when the S10+ comes out I'll compare with this and if Mate 20 pro is still better I'll look again a way to buy it cheaper then

Wonder if anyone in the EU ships to USA. Those models have way better update support. They also do not have emerald green
You'll probably be able to import it from eBay soon.

Didn't think of that
You can pre-order a Mate 20 PRO on Amazon.co.uk. The models do not appear to be carrier specific, which I assume means they are unlocked. Amazon specifies in the listing that "This item does not ship to the United States." Undeterred, I decided to see whether I could order the device and specify a US shipping address, which worked fine.
Questions:
Will amazon ship the item to the US even though it says it won't? When might they catch the error?
Are these UK devices unlocked? The listing does not say unlocked, but they are also not tied to any specific carrier.

I was also looking into it on amazon.co.uk.

Looks like AT&T/T-mobile would be fair, but Verizon users are kinda out of luck. YMMV though.
Wonder how warranty/repairs would go for this thing...

Pre order bonuses only ship to UK though. Would of pulled trigger if I got the watch and charger too. I'll wait till the spring and see if any SD8150 flagships match the features in this phone or if Huawai tops itself with the P30 pro.

Just ordered from a Twilight Mate 20 Pro from them. Only site I could find that didn't charge VAT.
We will see when it shows up!
Hopefully I can still get the watch and charger since I am having it shipped to US.

Well it's nice they didn't charge you VAT. Will you use an US to UK adapter for the supercharger 2.0 plug or will you just use another slower charger and type C cable (when not using wirleess charging) to charge the phone?
I wonder if Huawei is planning on manufacturing at all any superchargers 2.0 with the US plug
About the watch and and wireless charger unfortunately all the websites I've seen specify in bold and/or red letters that gifts are claimed on hauwei website after receiving the phone (similar to samsung gifts) and they'll be shipped ONLY to UK address. So you'd qualify but you'd still need a UK address :/
First what's VAT and second are uk and eu models the same?

VAT is like taxes, £749 without VAT and £899 w/VAT.
I assume the charger plug and software are different on US and EU models but not sure about any hardware differences

VAT in EU averages 20%. America does not have this. So instead of 1300$ shipped the phone was 1000$.
As far as the gift, I plan on using a mail forwarding service. They provide a UK address and forward the package to you for like 30$.
