Anyone knows how much do we have to pay in customs if we import a SGS2 from the U.K. on release day? I am looking at purchasing one once I get a good review of the GPS performance and want to make sure I am not surprised with any hidden cost.
unless you live in new york, you dont have to pay any. you just pay for shipping, i ordered from clove.co.uk, and there was no tax, or customs charges, only a shipping fee of 14 their money. however mobilecityonline.com is US based, and is cheaper than clove, you will pay 699, no tax, free shipping, no international hassle. the only reason i went with clove was because they will get it to me anywhere from 2-4 days faster
edit, i just noticed you wont be ordering the day they get released, then it would be faster to order from mobilecityonline, because they will receive stock from uk, which will take a few days to ship, but after that, you can order overnite delivery if you live in the US, so i suggest mobilecityonline.com

MobileCityOnline has free shipping on pre-orders. But no ETA. Yes, it's 699 but no certain date when they receive stock.
I also ordered from Clove and it's about $744 with 2-4 day shipping. I hope it'll arrive by the end of that week. Also, I think there's some currency fee charged by your card issuer. Maybe 3%?
Handtec is slightly cheaper but they've been inconsistent with stock date.

I can't directly answer that question but an email from Clove says, "Samsung offer a two year warranty on the SGS2!!"
I suppose that's regardless of where you buy the phone from. Anyone care to input?

then you have to pay sales tax, thats all, idk what it is over there, but in ohio its 7%
thats if you order from mobilecityonline, if you order from clove there wont be any tax. the tax is only from mobilecityonline because theyre actually newyork based, so newyork residents have to pay =/ not sure who would be cheaper in this instance, hmm
thanks everyone
That was one of my worries, at least I can breath now
Now to see if the GPS performs good or not. The first SGS let a sour taste in my mouth.
Ok, so the sellers that can ship to the U.S. that I have so far are:
clove.co.uk (444.00 euros + 14 euros shipping = 458 euros)
mobilecity.com (699.99 dollars + 0 shipping)
handtec.co.uk (515.99 euros + 12.99 euros shipping = 528.98 euros)
expansys.com (519.99 euros + ?? shipping)
expansys-usa.com (749.99 dollars + ?? shipping)
Watch out, UK still uses pounds, not euros
So it's actually 14% more expensive (1GBP=1.14EUR)

I believe the Handtec price you listed includes VAT, which you don't have to pay if you're in the states. The last time I checked it was about 430£.

It's 8.75%.
I tried figuring out where it's cheapest, realized that I was using euros instead of pounds, and gave up.

Is it an international warranty? From my previous experience with Samsung products (laptops, not phones), the warranty would cover the item in the locale where it was purchased, which in this case would be the U.K. no?

Clove just emailed saying if there's an issue with the device, it can always be sent back to them.
They didn't mention any other details. It sounds pretty vague so I guess I'll have to deal with either SquareTrade or Ensquared.

Guys, i want to make sure i've got it correctly: if I'm buying from UK (expansys or handtec) and ship it to USA address not in New York, in my case Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, then i wont pay any US taxes and customs, and expansys's price (which exclude EU VAT while shipping to US) + shipping costs will be my final price?
Price of phone plus shipping is what t
I paid. Shipped to Florida with nn tax.

Hi there
Has anyone who has imported a galaxy tab 10.1 from the states to Europe/UK comment on their experience please, ie how much was duty, tax, VAT, where from etc.
Its just that Im planning on buying one from ebay US since the tab isnt probably going to arrive here in France till after september and I've already been waiting to buy a tab since the original 7 inch tab came out and cant wait anymore!
cheers
You will pay a hefty premium on eBay, sellers look like they are charging way over retail, plus tax when it arrives with you.
It's a bit early for anyone to have any experiences yet, unless they got one from Best Buy in NY last week, but then they'd have probably brought it back in person and may have avoided taxes.
I ordered mine from Amazon via a mail forwarder, should be with me by the middle of next week. Expecting to pay around ~25% of the value in taxes and duty, so anything less than that is a bonus. Still works out to about the same price as the wifi Xoom over here, so I'm happy.
You will need to do research for your country as to what is charged if you want to have any hope of an exact price.
Great I found this thread !!
Amazon isn't having issues shipping to mail forwarders right? Because best buy is, also amazon selling white or metallic grey?
thanks in advance
Cheers

There is no import duty on the tablet in the UK, but you will pay VAT at 20%. A guy on these forums posted about www.bundlebox.com which is a forwarder. Apparently they offer warranty cover as well. We are discussing it over here:

White are BB exclusive so if it's from anywhere but BB they are metallic grey plasic made to look like metal.
Which mail forwarder do you use?
And which method did Amazon use to ship your item to the mail forwarder?
I have setup mail forwarder (BongoUS.com), but I don't sign the USPS form 1583. So, the mail forwarder cannot accept item shipped via USPS. Anything else, UPS or FedEx are OK.

I'm using Comgateway as the freight forwarder to ship my tab to Australia. I've used them several times and the service was great. They are based in Portland, Oregon..so you don't have to pay any state sales tax. They will ship your item through DHL.
Amazon used ONTRAC when they sent my order and it reached CGW on Friday morning.

Ok, so what will you do if the item is faulty?
You are asking about warranty
Of course this is the risk for people who import because as we all knew, the GT10.1 does not have international warranty.
It is a gamble, but it is not the end of the day.
You can return it, but you must pay the shipment your-self. More or less like this. Fried forwarder will handle return.
So, it is your choice.
It is a big gamble in terms of cost. If it is OK, then good! If it is not OK, it means you must spend more money (return processing).
NOTE: I checked comGateway.com, it seems OK, but I don't find any business address or customer support phone numbers. This makes me think to use their service, although it should be OK (I read some reviews). But, I want to be able to contact them quickly (by phone) if anything bad happens.

Electronics are late & overpriced here, so I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take when importing stuffs If, the product is faulty...most probably will try to contact samsung or return it to amazon.
Ive been looking into the forwarder Viaddress. Has anyone else used them or heard anything about them? They advertise themselves as being much better than the others. Also Im not keen on filling out the 1583 form so Im thinking about using Tigerdirect as they use UPS to ship items as opposed to Amazon where you cant choose your carrier.
update: from what Ive read, Viadress doesnt seem to be a very trustworthy service. I think Im going to go with one of the ones thats been mentioned here instead.
I am going to use TigerDirect as well for UPS shipment.
And for the forwarder, I use BongoUS.com. This is my first time experience.
So far they are ok, support responded my questions quickly, also checked their live chat. And they have phone number where you can contact, also the company address is clearly visible in their website.
https://bongous.com/contact.php
However, to use that, you must pay one time fee $5 (no monthly fee) and your credit card will be verified (by sending a small amount $0.1 - $1.0 and you need to tell them that).

Im looking at using Bundlebox now. They seem very good. All tax/duties are included. Its going to cost me 559euros all up for the 32GB model. I think thats pretty good. How much is it costing you? btw I think we're having the same conversation over 2 threads lol
I don't like the included tax with the forwarder.
Because there is chance their calculation is wrong? Or double charged by the tax office in our country?
So, I want the forwarder to not include the tax. The custom will charge the tax anyway.
Seems safer to me.
I have no idea how much in total because I don't know how to calculate the tax in NL.
I could assume VAT 20% though ... shipping cost to NL would be around $50. .... So, ($500 + 20% * $500) = $600 + $50 shipping = $650 USD = 454 euro ... not bad.
But again, I don't know the tax/duty, never done this before.

There is no duty in France but there is VAT/tax. Calculated on their site its 95euro, which is around the 18.6% VAT charged on goods+shipping costs etc. So its correct. And even if when it arrives I have to pay more, I can just refuse it (unless its only a couple of euros)
On the bundlebox site they show you the tax/duty by country
From their site for NL:

I will order this evening at TigerDirect.

AMAZON IS 150
ATT IS 99
BESTBUY IS 99
is there one for free or 1 cent ect.?
1 cent is for a new contract only. For both ATT and bestbuy you will pay sales tax on the full retail price of the phone.
Oh sure, now everybody is $99. Last month Costco was the only for $99, at least for an upgrade. New subs could get $99 on Amazon.

If you buy one of these phones from Frys, or Best Buy, and five months down the line the speakerphone stops working, for example. Can you call AT&T and request a warranty replacement? Or do they somehow know the phone wasn't purchased through them, even though it's got their branding all over it?
Also, why can't I find the GS2 at any stores in Southern California?

Shouldn't matter where you bought it and they may not even do anything anyway without insurance. You may get stuck calling Samsung for warranty service.
Try Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. I got my SGS2 at the Sam's Club in Palmdale for $148 and change + tax.
Does amazon price match?
Keep on mind that best buy's price match is only good if the store you want to match has a location within 25 miles of the store you are at. You might get lucky and get a clueless csr but I doubt it. (There are no Fry's in South Carolina.)

Weird that CDW has the Champagne model at $532 and the Grey model at $509.
Think I'm going with JR..found a coupon code for $5 off, guess that's something hah.
....That I couldn't use when paying through amazon payments. Ah well. I wanted amazon for the points and guarantees...
I would stay the hell away from CDW. Lots of their products are drop shipped, and my first purchase was delayed by a month thanks to a idiot sales rep. And I was charged about $100 in extra bank fees because they demanded wire transfer.

Earliest Negri will ship is 5/25 but keep in mind, that's a weekend AND memorial day on Monday so the earliest overnight shippers will get their GS3 is the 29th. Earliest for expanys is the 30th.

You need to be careful with their quoted price. I have just found out they adjust their price to the VAT rate of the delivery address in the EU, at least they do for delivery to the UK. I think Ireland is 23% VAT? that means, if I am right, their quoted price of 588.80 will go up to 608.59 plus p+p for shipping to Ireland. You'll see it at final checkout.

Yup, you called it. Shortly after I placed my order on Negri Electronics it still showed 5/25/2012, but when I came on onto the site 5 hours later it shows that it updated to 5/29/2012. Either they had gotten more pre-orders and adjusted the time, or because it was the long weekend.
If you are a Sprint user or soon will be...
I love my Skyrocket and just don't see much advantage (personally) for spending a ton for the S3, but...
I was reading on Cnet's Cheapskates section that you can get a S3 for $134, free activation and a $10 google wallet credit. All of the links are posted in the Cnet article.
When you click on the link(s) it looks like it is only for Sprint users. Looks like a major drawback, at least right now, is that Sprint's LTE network isn't up and running for the masses, so you'd be limited to 3G until they upgrade in your area.
I'm not sure about all of the details, though.
I don't mean to step on any rules here about posting ads or weblinks. I just thought that this sounded like an awesome deal and if I could help save people some beaucoup bucks... If you want Sprint and if you are looking to upgrade and if you are tired of your old phone and if.... goes on and on.
I'm happy with my phone thanks to Sean's Sky ICS Rom.

Isn't that for the US-version?
Doesn't have a lot in common with the i9300 other than the name and screen.
You need to be careful with their quoted price. I have just found out they adjust their price to the VAT rate of the delivery address in the EU
