Lazada selling at $859 now. If you have been collecting vouchers and Lazada bonus, should be able to get around 740 excluding any credit card Cashback.

Worked out to almost same for CGW buy for you.

What is the max lazada bonus possible? I only managed to get $33 over past few days.

So max is $15 (shop) + $15 (lazada) + $33 (lazada bonus) + $5/10 (credit card) for me. still more ex than self importing.

I got > $100 and used $85 for the phone. Did u play the lazzie which can get up to $99?
No, i didn't know how the lazada bonus worked, so i didn't actually go hunting for it. Just collected whenever i saw it. originally i tot it was just max $5 off $50 so i didn't bother :o

As you can see, most self import by ordering from US google direct had gotten their orders cancelled.

Only CGW buy for you working so far and as shared total including shipping and buy for you fees all added up to USD 545.67 which is around SGD 730+ also.

mine $10 (shop) + $15 (lazada) + $85 (lazada bonus) + $10 (credit card voucher)
if include credit card cash rebates will reduce further.
I have received my pixel 5a through CGW buy-for-me service on 2nd September. Paid in total USD545.67.

Solid phone. Full battery can last me through 2 days. Snappy interface, intuitive gesture.

Just curious, I guess it would be cheaper if ask friend in USA to buy 5a and ship over as compared to CGW, Ezbuy etc?

Get your friend to bring it over when they return - Save on shipping.

Tell them that you will pay after the goods arrived onto your hand and pay them in SGD will be cheaper too! - Save on foreign exchange rate.

My first pixel, those who using earlier models or 5a, may I know will volte shown in status bar or just show LTE?
Did try calling and using internet at the same time, seems ok but only seeing LTE so just want to make sure. Thank you.

To check got volte > setting > network and internet > mobile network. Should have volte option.

I think Singtel and StarHub support at the moment for current pixels. Not so sure for mvnos.

Yes, should showed 'LTE'.
