The Nexus 5 Thread

[thatguynokes]

Received my Spigen cases today, one Ultra Fit and one Ultra Hybrid. Was pleasantly surprised to find both come with a free screen protector. But that was the only good news.

Quality of the ultra hydrid wasn't good, had tons of scratches on the clear plastic back right out of the box. The ultra fit looks more "premium" in pictures than in real life..

Kinda disappointed, might order some Ringke cases to try..

Just purchased a 16GB Black NExus 5 .... Got a email from the bank stating that there is a charge of YEN 200 ... Citibank Credit Card ... Anyone know what this YEN 200 is for?

Google is verifying your account before deducting the actual amount. The 200 yen will be refunded to you.

google play test water with your CC, if can be charged means your card ok, if cannot be charged then they will tell you the actual transaction cannot go through

Hey,

so you trust some said dun use vpost or those who are already using vpost?

Anyway can see vpost seems slower than tenso in processing.

I tried putting in my singapore number and it failed. But putting in the online contact for Tenso works.

What is the state I should select? Do I leave it as AICHI?

Thanks & Cheers

use the contacts of tenso. The Aichi change to Tokyo.

Yes, you are fine. So long u dun mind paying higher forwarding fees and take longer time to reach u lor

 

[BlackCube]

u siam tax?
moi total is $519.88 + $19.68 for vpost without vcare.

Think the bank previously deduct de $504 is just for holding, final value will be abit more expensive

No lah. I used promo code, that's why shipping cheaper.

 

[YouYongku]

My total cost for purchase (SCB CC - $588.03) and shipping (include vCare - vPOST - $62.83) is $650.86 for 32GB Black.

If anyone is interested.

Eh, inclusive of GST.

The break down is as such.

shipping - ~ 28
GST ~ 4x
vCare ~ 18

total is 89

i used code so became 6x.

so you are not wrong, shipping is indeed ~ 30 bucks.

Mentioned a lot of times here, the initial charge of $200yen is to verify your card only, will cancel. The final amt will be charged only when they ship.

 

[lyk13]

Same as the guy I quoted in the post. 1830 yen.

How come my EMS insurance only 50 yen???
