Anyone can recommend a forwarder from HK? Need to RMA my hk set.

Had terrible service with borderlinx earlier on, and live chat with their CS, full value will be declared for Rma item. Meaning i have to pay 7% GST again if i were to use borderlinx

don't we pay GST only on new stuff? sending old stuff back and forth also need to pay GST meh?

Me too, already flashed last night. Still deciding on whether to keep on using the gesture feature. I sort of miss using the double tap and long press options.

Then sold off @ $1040 Brand new in box.

Then ordered 5T.

Reason: Note 8 screen replacement too costly.

Anyone purchased Oneplus 5T in Gearbest before? It has 3 colors in stock and the price seems fair enough. Is Gearbest reliable?

Their 8gb ram model is listed at USD$580 but dont go thinking that you will be paying at the market conversion rate of USD$1 = SGD$1.31. If you pay through paypal, the conversion rate is probably around 1.37. After conversion, it costs more than what you pay getting from qoo10 sellers.

Also you never factor in addtional costs like expedited shipping fee(their free registered mail is very slow and unreliable) and insurance fee(in event of lost package, if you never buy insurance they will only refund you 20-30% of the price paid). And yes, lost mail is a very real concern when buying from these oversea sites, especially for an item that costs so much.

Lastly, what about warranty claims? You have to sent it back overseas should you need to claim warranty. With so many cons and practically no pros, what for you want to buy from gearbest?

Its price is higher now, i heard that it has released some coupons for price USD$520 only in 128GB. My friend have purchased Xiaomi Mi A1 with super coupon in very low price and all things went well without so much concern before. At last he received the item 5 days after he paid and all seems not bad in his experience. Maybe low price break these all concern LOL

Well if price is your only consideration then by all means buy from the cheapest online source you can find. But dont say you never been warned. I bought quite a few times from gearbest before and their delivery through free airmail takes around 4-6 weeks. Personally i will never take the risk of purchasing such a big value item from them.

There is a local skins brand called dLabel. Purchases above $20 on their site and you get free shipping. https://www.dlabelonline.com/
They also selling on qoo10 with free normal mail https://www.qoo10.sg/g/587106208

I'll just stick to the open beta 3, lazy to wipe all data to go to Oreo stable. Also the OTA will not include the new features of Beta 3.

Other than what rECKleSSfElla mentioned, add custom tax/GST, I dun think it is cheaper than getting from Qoo10(with coupons).
