The Nexus 5 Thread

[shichuanhua]

Guys,

DHL sent me a invoice for GST but no details on how to pay the bill. Anyone knows how to pay the GST invoice?

most likely collect by delivery man

 

[PDA_lover]

DHL already delivered the phone...so cannot pay to delivery man.....should i just sleep on it?

I just tried ordering a Nexus 5 from Japan playstore.

Funny thing is.. Right after I placed the order, I received a SMS from my bank informing that there was a charge of JPY 200... and then one minute later, another SMS from my bank informing that there was a charge of JPY 44800!

Only 1 minute in between both charges?! I thought the JPY 200 charge is meant for Google to test if the credit card is valid..?

Oh.. and I used jshoppers tenso. I copy pasted the Japan address in the Japanese characters instead in Google Wallet. Would that be fine?

Wow Google Play Japan shipped out my order in 12 hours. Cool. No hiccups so far on my first attempt.

Try pack & send. I also wonder how one bro here managed to ship his using DHL from OZ. I asked DHL, but they also refused. However, they referred me to pack & send.

I got it through using Fedex, they said there isnt any issue with just 1 mobile phone. Was using corporate account though, overnight shipping which cost less than S$30.

Obviously even though there are 2 phones, it's also not an issue, since HK warehouse also uses FedEx to ship out to AU.

Hi guys, i'm here to do a MO for the Diztronic casing, it's only sold via their website or in the USA now. So i contacted their CSO and this is their reply.

So their normal price is around $10 per casing, with such a substantial markdown in price, i hope you guys will join this MO and get this superb casing.

Please refer to the following XDA links for the plenty of great reviews people have had to say so far.

Diztronic Matte Black TPU case Review and Picture - xda-developers

Cases that dont ruin the feel of the phone - xda-developers

Amazon.com: Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for LG Nexus 5 - Retail Packaging: Cell Phones & Accessories

I'm not trying to earn any money here, just looking to spread the word on a casing that i feel is worth getting.

So yeah, i'll be bringing in 2 for myself, so just need at least 8 more of you!

Feel free to WhatsApp/SMS me at 9twotwotwo133five for any questions!


Ps. If this is not appropriate, i'll gladly post on the MO section and link people to there.

I hit this error below. Tried to order 2 sets at a go. New Google account with Jap details, using Citibank credit card and Tenso address. Anyone got similar issue? Should order 1 only at a go?
