My 2nd P5A is expected to arrive on 17/Dec.

Just in time to give to wife before xmas. :s12:

Surprisingly the delivery charge is $11USD cheaper than previous.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if we could purchase Pixel 5A directly ourselves using a Singapore Bank Credit Card but using US forwarding address like those EZBuy...will our order go thru? Thanks in advance.

Hi, it will go through initially and then automatically cancel after ~2 days as it "doesn't align with" Google's "Sales Terms".

Many in this thread have tried as well, including myself. It doesn't work and is why people are using Buy-For-Me services.

Oh ok thanks....I see it seemed to go thru now but i guess it will be rejected later as you said.

Recommended 'Buy for Me' thru Comgateway? I never tried 'Buy For Me' but only use like EZBuy to as forwarding address.

I check the thread and it seemed the cost for this:

$399 + $20 (Buy-for-me fee) + $65 (Shipment inclusive GST) = $484 x1.36 = SGD 658

Like not worth it...saw on carousel $668 new unopen export japan set (1 month seller warranty).

Japan set's shutter and screenshot sounds cannot disable. fyi

Does anyone know if the US version would work just as well in Singapore as the Japanese version i.e. mobile bands, Google Pay, DBS Digibank, TraceForever etc.? I presume 5g will work for neither but I really don't want the annoying camera shutter sound.

Edit: also, anyone know how to use international credit card on Google Store US? I don't need to use CGW/buyforme as I have a friend who will be coming from America but I think my Singapore credit card is not working
