vPost and Borderlinx FAIL in their concierge service to buy from google playstore.

Earlier I have issues with VPN so use buyforme from tenso. Hope my stocks still have.

My own calculations for 32gb from japan is about S$610. Then forgot GST in singapore. End up...S$650++

P.S. Errr ****, tomorrow weekend they not open. OH NO....

anyone bought from us store with singapore credit card and had their order confirmed or even shipped?

I ordered with singapore credit card, but order status is still pending, since this morning, with delivery in 2~3 weeks time.

Wonder if it will go through.

At most the charger will be different. It makes no difference to me as I already have so many USB chargers at home.

use usb chargers that doesn't make your phone operate weirdly. it will become like this after a while.

tested proven with two nexus 4, rma-ed.



take care of your phones people! i ordered 3 nexus 5 for colleagues

Mine is still pending too. Best of all I've no idea if they accept my payment or not because I put the wrong billing address.

I will only be charged when the item is processed right? So if I delete my card info from Google Wallet now... this order won't go through?

Mine from JP one is still pending even though I filled up same addresses for both billing and shipping.

But another one of US has been shipped since this evening. I didn't use same addresses though.

I just ordered, so here are the steps.

1) Register at Forwarding service connecting overseas customers and Japanese online stores [ Tenso.com ]
2) Send over photocopy of your IC/driver's licence/passport front and back. They just want to know your name and address as Japan's laws dictate they have to do this.
3) Install VPN, I used OkayFreedom. https://www.okayfreedom.com/
4) Get a Japanese connection using OkayFreedom.
5) Go to https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_black_32gb and select your choices. I used Chrome's Incognito mode (Ctrl-Shift-n) so I can translate the website and avoid signing out of my real Google account)
6) When you click checkout you will be asked to register a new Google account. Register for it with the address provided by Tenso. (Guide here: Shopping on Japanese Websites)
7) Click buy and wait for the item to arrive at Tenso.
