U mean the extra charge that Qxpress charged?

 

[ridiculous?]

U mean the extra charge that Qxpress charged?

Ya, the stupig fees on top of gst.

Eh paiseh... I type salah... the price after using the coupon is $375.20... not $475.20 haha...

I see.... but the warranty seems to be non-existent (it says "No Return & Exchange will be accepted for opened item").

Plus if u have to pay additional GST for the overseas purchase then it may not be worth it.

I dunno but in the Q&A section at the bottom of the listing... u can see someone asking abt the warranty.. whether it's accepted by Google sg or Google US...

The price has dropped further... after using the coupon, it is now $375.20.... can hoot anot ar? But the warranty is still a dubious part...

Nothing dubious, the unit from USA so warranty is from USA. No difference if I were to buy from Amazon US and ship to SG myself. Just whether you have the stomach to buy non local units.

I have bought many phones from overseas before. Even the rare cases that it becomes faulty, it usually fails after 1 year which would made no difference if I had bought it locally.

The more important thing is whether you can get it repaired out of warranty locally. The local service center may not have the correct parts for your model even if you are willing to pay for it.

My 2 cents, if price with gst almost the same with local, just buy local set lah...

If u check out this seller's other listing for Pixel 6/Pro... it says no gst, no tax, no extra charge and comes with 1 yr google warranty so I dunno...

The pixel 6/7 series phones that are sold on Courts Online have the words "US mobile Pixel XXX" or "US PIxel XXX" in the titles of their listings... so if they really are US sets then the local Google svc ctr would have the correct parts to service them...

I have bought an iPad from this seller before and no GST charged at the time. With the new rule kicking in this year, where all the purchases now regardless of value will be charged GST, I think you should expect that it will be added on to the phone's value.

As for the Courts listing, I am not sure where they copied/pasted it from. My unit is G1AZG. Google Store SG lists it as GX7AS in the specs.

I think it's the cheapest if u buy from Hot Deal Shop on Qoo10 with the cart coupon but the thing is it only comes with Google US warranty I think..

Not sure if u guys have a similar experience.

I am on GOMO, and sometimes the phone drops connection to the LTE and doesn't reconnect. What I did to resolve the issue is make a trigger to the hicard apn and back to e-ideas apn, then no issues liao.

Wonder what is happening.
