Buying in the USA, who do I buy from? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked at expansys, amazon, and newegg. All have relatively equal prices but with amazon I can get free two day shipping with prime.
Any other good options I missed? Any that I listed that you recommend or warn against?
I would like to find a place to buy that has a warranty so that if I get a defective unit I am covered.
So quick shipping, no tax and no warranty with amazon, or someone else with a warranty and slower shipping?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Am I allowed to sell my A70 8GB here?

If the answer is no, I apologize and please remove my post.
I had it 3 weeks. It's working fine but I decided to stick with my Windows netbook. I'm still within the return period, but I thought I would let everyone know.
I loaded the SDE and the UrukDroid 0.6 ROM, so it's already rooted. I paid $281 including the shipping, and I'll sell it for the same price, I pay the FedEx shipping to you.
I also have the Tuf-Luv leather case made specifically for the A70. It allows access to all controls and fits very securely. I paid $48 with the shipping. I'll also pay the FedEx shipping, but only if you buy both.
I prefer to sell both together. I'm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and these can be seen and picked up locally.
Please send me a PM or respond to this post.

Actually you can't return it. You hacked it and it no longer has a warranty. So you are selling a used device without warranty. You might want to lower the price.
I would give you $200 for it.

I already have the RMA and the UPS label to return it.
I agree about the warranty, but the seller's return policy states that the unit can be returned for any reason within 30 days.

How much is it worth?

How much is a reasonable price to ask for a mint second hand Galaxy S2 in white? Posted in the market section but no interest. Is asking 350 gbp too much?

Usually I've seen them go for lower than that, around 310-320 I've seen on other forums.

Used price from shops here (Tokyo) is equivalent of about 325-350 gbp with 30-day store warranty. (This assumes original box, all accessories, etc.)
Have a look on ebay, last time i looked they were going for £300/£350
On Ebay UK £300 - 400. But if you live nearby one of them, you might be able to do a cash on collection and make the 'price' cheaper. Since you have to pay eBay final fee and paypal interest fee, he might kindly accept a lower value than he/she has listed on eBay.
i would say about €360 is a fair enough price, if was selling mine which is in pristine condition that's what id probably sell it for.
white gs2 in cex in manchester going for 300. looks in mint condition. i'd pay no more than that. i'd sack ebay...plenty of rip off's.

help me order a case please?

Hey guys, I saw a decent case on ebay and unfortunately they wouldn't ship here in the Philippines. I was thinking of buying this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/StandBook-Multi-Stand-PU-Leather-Case-for-Asus-Eee-Pad-Prime-TF201-red-Tablet-/120912896867 They're the only vendor selling this kind of case.
So anyway, can anyone especially from US would help me buy it? They offer free shipment of the item for US btw.
The payment would be like this:
1. I would pay for the item plus the shipment fee for Philippines via Paypal. Cheapest USPS only please
or
2. You can be the one buying it and I would pay you when I receive the item. I know this option may sound creepy on your part but don't worry, I won't screw you up.

Crazy eBay buyers

Over on eBay is an auction eBay Auction for GN2 on Verizon and as of right now its up to $750. The stupid part is its above full retail price and the seller is only offering to ship you his pre-order once he gets it. So really you could just pre-order yourself at full retail and save money and keep your warranty since its tied to your account.
Thread Closed...going no where, but thanks for the info.
Thank you.

US Buyer Reccomendation

I am in the US looking to buy one of these. Any recommended sellers?
From xperia blog they recommend Clove and Handtec from the UK. Handtec seems cheaper (vs ebay for perhaps better returns/warranty).
I'd appreciate any recommendations from people here who have purchased.
Handtec sells for $572. Ebay is closer to $540
If I do get it from ebay (from taiwan or HK), could I run into issues with languages?

I got one from clove. No issues.

I purchased mines at Plemix for $520 + $28 shipping. Also purchased a Z1 compact there with no problems. Shipping was within 2 days so that's a plus. Currently, there's a free 32 GB memory card special until the end of the month. Haven't really had any issues with them and never really contacted customer service so I can't say anything about that. Not too sure about the returns/warranty but there's info about that on their website.
Thanks. Although from some quick research on Plemix I see some mixed reviews. I'm sure most of these places online are fine if everything goes smoothly. Its really when something goes wrong (ie. item arriving damanged, DOA) to see how it is handled.
I've also noticed that Amazon UK has it for cheaper than Clove and Handtec. The Xperiablog article said AmazonUK does not allow VAT to be excluded but it was excluded when I added it to the cart. Actually, I notice I can buy directly on Amazon US for around $540. I might just do that.

Isn't the one listed on amazon from third party retailers like expansys? I wonder how they handle returns just in case.. any idea??
I got mine from Amazon for $550 and received it next day thanks to Prime shipping. No issues.
I ended up ordering through amazon as well. I decided to save $10 and get the non-prime option. Although I ordered it Friday and it came today. I just wasnt at home to sign for it. (Missed the guy by 10min)
I think the only issue will be if I need to send it back for warranty. I'll have to pay shipping both ways to Hong Kong or Taiwan or wherever the phone originated from.

I live in Australia and have bought the z1 and z3 compact from Clove UK, have bought other tech from Handtek, had no problems or issues with using Australia cell provider, support or anything. I now have the z5 compact which I bought from ebay Quality Deals Store on Ebay when ebay had 20% off store wide recently, got it delivered for a bargain $600 AUD. The phone came quick, set it up in English easy and it works on Australian networks etc. Couldn't be happier ☺
Amazon was perfect for me. These past two weeks has it seldom carry the Z5c as Prime... usually a seller ships some 10 devices to Amazon's warehouses (to be categorized as Prime) but those fly off the shelves. In the past two weeks I have seem some 60 Z5c as Prime to disappear within hours, but if you look daily, they are there.
If you are in the US, at $550 Prime is worth it over ebay's $540 in my opinion; faster shipping and 30 days possibility to return it.
do you need amazon prime account for it? is this different from 3rd party sellers on amazon?
