I'm on off on Monday, thank goodness. I'm going to open my door wide, camp there with my Nexus 7 and hug the grumpyass postman when he comes.

Same status as yours. If it comes tmr, that makes it delivered on the 3rd day after it arrived at Tenso (excl Sun)-- that's helluva fast!

If you only having 3G data plan, issit worth to get LTE set for extra S$80?

I calculated 16gig:
US set S$510 ___ Jap set S$590

that is if you can get straight from US playstore.

i heard they already banned shipping to forwarders.

those who manage to get it are the early ones.

i too wanted to get the US version but was too late.

12 days, should be long enough right!!

how long does it take if I order from JPN stores now ah?

fastest would be next monday, if they ship out on the same day as you order (today).

Today ship out,
Wednesday receive at Tenso
Then got to see when is Tenso's next shipping date, if Friday ship out means Saturday arrive in Singapore customs. Maybe then next working day will deliver to you

OR like mine (mine shipped from HKG on Mon):

Tomorrow ship out
Thursday Tenso receive
Saturday ship out
Sunday reach Singapore customs

Then i waiting for it to clear customs and deliver to me by this week lor

Why isn't anyone getting from Australia?

Just ordered mine through family living there. SGD548 after conversion for 32gb black.

Have to wait for about a month though.

No, and I don't appreciate that tone. Question is why isn't anyone else doing it? Why exclusively from Japan

Shipping from Australia to SG is expensive. It will cost more than Japan. Not to mention that the phone will take longer to arrive.

because

#1 No freight forwarder in Aus
#2 Seems like within AUS still need to pay shipping fee
#3 Also seems like theres a delay, coz JPN sets immediately ship out during the week N5 was released

I see. Thanks guys, looks like it's just a shipping problem. Anyway if I can get a friend to help bring from Australia when he returns to Singapore, would anyone be interested?

May take up to 7 to 8 weeks though.

I believe it is due to a confluence of reasons including:

1) Extra delivery fee for AUS play store
2) No good forwarder
3) Appears to have logistics issues (Long wait for shipping)

Which makes it unfavourable for some/most of us to get it from AUS.
