tips for buying overseas - HTC Droid DNA

Hello everyone, if you buy a phone from the United States to $ 400 used, what are the customs fees for europe approximately? (Italy)
I'm trying in every way to have it, because my OneX has abandoned me.
thanks to all

[Q] Info before buying an EVO 3D

Hello my dear friends,
I need an information about the EVO 3D in the US. In France it's rare and expensive, and I have a friend who's travelling to NYC in a few days so I needed to know how much it would cost if I asked her to bring me a brand new EVO 3D without contract and GSM of course! I would work in France right?
In a nutshell I need the price and if there actually a GSM version in the US!
Thank you all in advance!

That would be really nice of you!
You can always try Ebay
The proble is the taxes from the customs...
Does GSM necessarily mean 1GB of internal memory?
Only Canada has the GSM version in North America, it runs $99 on a 3-year contract with Rogers, and I believe $550 as an outright buy. I bought one yesterday through a Rogers partner (Tbaytel). That version is HSPA 850/1900/2100
In the USA, only Sprint carries the Evo, on their CDMA network.
There are likely places in the US where you can buy it from, but it probably won't come with a warranty.
Okay understood! So if I find someone going to Canada, I'll have to tell him to go at Rogers? And ask for a phone without contract? Right? 550 US dollars?
Thank you a lot for helping
Am I right?

I am also tempted to buy online, however I am not sure what taxes / duties I would be charged for the phone once it reaches India!
Guys I think you lot better pm. Selling stuff isn't allowed unless you use marketplace of xda.
£412 is including all taxes and delivery. Don't know what that comes into INR. But what I read was inter-state / intra-states taxes weren't more than 200 INR.

[Q] About Buying s3 in Hungary

I saw a few topics about help for buying s3 so i decided to get some help from you guys I'm going Hungary with AFS intercultural programs for 1 year. And i want to buy a Galaxy s3 from here. How would you buy it ? With 1 year contract or without contract ? Btw i'm going to buy a sim card from here if u can tell me which operator is better it would be good too.
P.S: Going in August so prices will be same i think.
Thank you
T-Mobile has the best services, quality and coverage.
The cheapest would be the one with one year contract
thank you jasahu do you know anything about Tax-Free shopping ? What about VAT in Hungary what percent ? And can i get a refund for VAT with contract ?

I do not much about tax-free shopping. I do not think that there any more to that than the usual airport duty-free thing.
VAT here was raised to 27% not too long ago :-(
I suppose there little chance to get a refund with a one year contract because you basically get refund if you leave the country soon with your recently bought item. When you do the shopping in person (as opposed web-shopping) I would expect them to give you the refund at the border when you leave, but that is just a guess.
But you can of course try it I suggest you should go to a T-Mobile (or Vodafone or Telenor office at a mall) they often have usable English speaking assistance and ask them.
Or ask them in e-mail. At least T-mobile.hu have an (limited) english version of their website and definitely trying to answer your question.
ok thank you so much I looked to all operator's websites but they haven't English in shopping section =/ i'm going to look for 1 year contracts then when i went there
Here are the prices for one year contract, in descending order of monthly fee:

And I need correct myself when it comes to coverage, Vodafone has the best 3g coverage

International. Where to buy?

Anyone know where one can buy the HTC DNA (deluxe) internationally ?
Probably the easiest would be to find someone in the states to by and ship it to you.

Some sources say it will come to Europe (the UK atleast) after China got it. Others say it won't. Anyway I really want this phone but if it takes them more than 2 months to bring it to Belgium (where I live), I won't buy it. Because I want it to be the newest and best phone out there for a while. That's not possible if you get it 2 months after the release. But I don't want to go to Samsung either because of the plastic design, Such a dilemma
PS: Sorry for my bad English.

How much exactly pay you for a non contract Droid DNA ?
I try to buy it and i choose "device without service", then "Next" yo the end, I ended up ordering
I wait 4 days and nothing. So.. i call to verizon and ask what's up and they told me that i must choose "Device with wireless" and 40 USD month line.
Did you encountered the same problem ?
In store is asame problem ?
How much exactly did you pay for an non contract (without a subscription) ?
Thanks in advance !

How are you ordering from Verizon? They ship in the US only, unless you have a friend/relative in the US or are using a US mail forwarder.

im wonder can you buy it from amazon? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A4OOPN0/?tag=getbestbuy20-20 according xDa can boot unlocked so
I believe Amazon Wireless ship to US addresses only.
The only other places I'm currently aware that offer the Droid DNA with international shipping are:
eBay
Negri Electronics
Expansys USA
hmm im wonder if you have it and something is **ck up (im sure it will wont)with you phone and you try use yours warranty htc make this legit or they say "sorry this phone is not suppose be in your country and we dont repair him" ?
http://theinformr.com/cell-phones/htc-droid-dna/buy/
Does anyone know of any other places that ship the Droid DNA internationally?
eBay prices are inflated and neither Negri or Expansys will have stock soon.
I put data of VCC (virtual credit card) and put the address of shipping trader from USA to Europe. SIMPLE !
Is not first time when i buy from USA and all was ok with order but they (Verizon) dont send me any feedback about sending order and only after i call it on the phone they told me that i must buy a "Device with Wireless" with 40 USD / month, so i cannot buy "Device without service".
So, is a known s _ _ t of Verizon or they lie me and just me have bad luck ?

Yes, somewhat the same problem but then in the store.
Also couldnt but the phone without a plan in an actual Verizon store.
I did manage to buy the DNA without a plan in a general Electronics store that also sells verizon products.

[Q] Scam, Real, or what?

Not available yet but will pretend and keep your $$ until it is. Stick with Negri, they won't say they have unbtil they have, then ship same day.
It's drop shipping. They are so called "middle men" who take orders without having the actual product at hand, but orders it from a third party when they get an order.
- Cooperate with a wholesaler or manufacturer
- Get a fair price
- Add a couple of dollars on top of that
- Get order
- Send the order to the wholesaler and pay them for the product with the money they received from the customer
- Wholesaler sends the product to the customer
- Retailer AKA the middle men keeps what's left of the money
I did this a couple of years back, so this is how it's done. It went well and i never had any trouble with customers. I only sold to customers in the US and Europe though. Should you order from that site? No. Not if you care about delivery time and warranty. Got any problems with the product down the road? Forget about it.
We'll see what's up
I ordered one tuesday sept. 10 after calling and requesting a tracking # they sent me a link to UPS, it says it will be here fri. it's suppose to be the 4g version. I order purple but this one was on backorder they said so i opt for the white. I bought it through paypal so if they have been dishonest about shipping or contents paypal will resolve the issue. I will post back and let everybody know!!I
So I received it on time(3 days) it is the 3g version though but still very impressed. I'm on Walmart mobile, which is done through tmobile and it load my whole music unlimited library in seconds and then played them with little to no load time. Still planning on emailing welectronics about the 4G part, the item specs I clicked on said lte was present so we'll see what they say.
