you mean Tenso took only 2 hours to verify your particulars after you send it in?

they haven't verify mine yet... :\ how do I check anyway? I was expecting an email from them..

Yeap, about 2 hours after I first registered at Tenso and submitted my IC details to them (PDF format), I got the following email:

This is Tenso.com

thanks squeeish

I presume when registering google jp account, must use tenso address right? but what about payment methods? if use cc, wouldn't it not tally with our cc bank records?

My nexus 5 order consisting of 3 phones went through successfully with my POSB Go! Debit Mastercard.

Remember to set both billing and shipping address to Tenso's, and perhaps you might have to increase your spending limit (default is $1,000) of your card?

Yup, i set both address to Tenso's. Spending limit is $2000. The ~$2.50 charge from Google is actually still under ledger. I'm wondering if it's held by the bank.
Anyway, I just did a re-order. *fingers crossed*

Yeap. Billing and shipping address must be tenso's. Although it doesn't tally with our bank records, somehow it still goes through.

Yeap, about 2 hours after I first registered at Tenso and submitted my IC details to them (PDF format), I got the following email:

My case is slightly different. Open an account with tensoJapan (Jshoppers) and proceed to place my order of n5 at google jp. Later, emailed tensoJapan my particular - NRIC & telco bill, BUT did not receive any email confirmation if my account is okay or not.

But, my item was successfully delivered to tensoJapan yesterday morning and I had made my payment yesterday night to have my item re-deliver to singapore.

BTW, tensoJapan dont collect GST. Guess GST will be collected by Singpost when they deliver the item to me

 

[maumu]

hmm i'm just worried that tenso could not/did not verify my particulars then my item get stuck with them... den gg liao.

 

[koreanlover]

Mine at Tenso now.

 

[billytannn]

What? Mine still states leave warehouse @ 15th Nov

As in the previous pages, just keep ordering and cavelling, until that particular order gives an immediate email "receipt", then shipping is quite soon. The previous 2 times I ordered no emails from Google with status pending. So just try luck, cancel and reorder. Hope that helps. And hope it comes soon!

Had the same concerns as you as I also didnt receive any reply after submitting my particular. But anyway, I think they will get in touch with you once they receive your item (just like my case)

Dont worry so much

Ugh my first order which was declined by Google now has changed the status to pending and my bank is charged again for another order.

I suppose if I can't cancel the order, I have to let it go to anyone who's interested in it. It's a 16GB black variant.

Wah... u had scared me as my first order was also declined by google. Just checked and the order is still there - status Decline and waiting for me to fix the problem.

I believe the error is caused for those who try using DBS/POSB to make the payment, but didnt know DBS/POSB had auto disable overseas purchases since 1 Oct.

Yeah been wondering about that since the order successfully went through. Somehow they take our cc information which we input into their site and then their address becomes a valid billing address of our cc.
There's a part of me slightly worried about security here ...

Correct if I'm wrong, the bank only disable card usage for magnetic swipe transactions.

 

[mrpoker]

who here is the one that accidentally ordered extra set ah? can pm me?

True, but few bros encountered issues when making payment using DBS/POSB CC. Though it can be resolved by informing the bank, but it is a hassle. For my case, I swapped to my UOB CC and the payment went thru w/o any issue. DBS did call me up later if I have any issue with my overseas payment, I told them dont bother
