Come on guys - are you really going to hand your money over to a Chinese company and expect to get exactly what you think you're getting?

1 Are the goods genuine?
2 Will they honour any warranty?
3 What are you going to do about it anyway?

Ordered mine Sunday evening it turned up yesterday Thursday afternoon via ups.no customs duty to pay and so far all works perfectly. Many thanks op it looks a beauty

Ordered nexus 6 took 6 days came by dpd. Arrived DOA unit charge symbol appears but only turns on when plugged in. Unit was brand new sealed. I Removed battery cover and saw the battery manufacture date was 01/2014 so it's been dormant for almost 2 years battery will never work again. Don't wan hassle of sending back as I'm an engineer replaced battery and new battery cover myself cost £17 unit was 239 brand new

For anyone that got one of these, the wireless charging cover is under £10 on Amazon currently. Spare battery kit also good value at £19.

Voted hot.
I've bought from eglobal central before and their customer service was excellent. As it was for a birthday present I paid the extra for rapid delivery which meant it was supposed to arrive in 5 days. After 4 days I was a bit concerned so emailed them and got a reply straight away saying that it should arrive very shortly but as a good will gesture refunded the extra I had paid and it arrived on the 5th day anyway. So top firm will definitely do business with them again.
Incidentally it was a Samsung S2 9.7" tab that I ordered, saved a bundle and my wife is very happy with it.

worth noting that the Japanese version is available for £288 on ebay. Be sure to check your LTE bands suit it though.

And me

Same

No definitely not fake
Id use them again and recommend them

id just advise to pay by credit card to fully protect yourself. The opportunity cost for me was worth it to get what I wanted at a cheaper price. The saving was too much to not use them. If another company like currys was marginally more I would rather use them though

Apologies and thanks again for taking the time to contribute.

I bought galaxy tab s2 Friday m this website, never received the item. I had to dispute claim through PayPal to get back my money. All reviews or most of them are fake

Wow! Cracking deal, snatched this for Christmas

I purchased a Z2 tablet from this company and the battery would not charge so I sent it back because it was covered under their warenty but they refused to replace the tablet and in insisted that they where going to fix it.

I emailed them several times over the next 2 weeks and received swift responses telling me it was still being fixed then all of a sudden they wouldn't reply to me and when I checked the support ticket on the website they had closed it down.

I eventually received my money back by contacting my bank and sending them all the evidence but it took about 6 weeks.

Would never use them again.

I have used this company and everything was fine. id use them again too

Why would you buy an impaled phone

they also do eBay if you can wait for another 20% off code?

Great deal at this price. I have this phone - bought it at release. Top handset, still going strong nearly a year later. Thinking about upgrading to a new handset, but newer phones seem so boring now!

This is my current phone and I can definitely recommend it, especially at that price.
The Edge screen is a nice little gimmick that will catch people's attention(if you're into that).
The only 2 issues is, the Edge screen seems to mess up some apps, from my personal experience, Fifa 16 has a bit of the top of the screen cut off, so it makes getting into menus difficult.

If you are into the custom ROM scene, then definitely avoid this phone as the development community is very small and none of the big ROM's are on it.

Bought a z3 off them (dual sim unavailable in the UK) would use them again without hesitation!

I suppose it depends whether you're prepared to take their T&C at face value. You might like to look at the problems people outline here - and elsewhere:

Buying from these people could prove a very expensive mistake indeed! :confused:

There's a further point to all this, of course. Because this company is based outside the EU, in China, there will be a sting in the tail when items arrive in the UK.

VAT (20%) and Customs Duty will have to be added in the UK before you can collect the goods:

2. Tax and duty

You’ll be contacted by Royal Mail, Parcelforce or the courier company explaining how to pay any VAT, duty and fees for dealing with customs.

You must pay before you collect your goods. If you don’t, they’ll be sent back within 3 weeks.

here is some tips : I've bought phones from abroad online and know few people who did the same with no issues:

you need to do some homework before buying phones from outside Europe.with exception of iPhones,phones made for Asian/American market MAY have some incompatibility with UK networks.there are usually few "sub models".you need to research a bit and find out if that specific model supports your sim card networks frequency.

usually in UK if you are on EE or 3 you are fine with almost any phone,but with O2 and Vodafone specially you need to be careful as many non European models don't support 4G on these two networks.

also with exception of iPhones,if you buy phones from outside Europe,the manufacturer warranty is usually not valid in UK.so you have to hope for the best and rely on the warranty that some of these sellers offer.

that being said,a lot of these Hong Kong/China based web sellers are actually legit and they have warehouses in UK so there is no reason you won't receive a legit,sealed phone without any custom issue in just a few days.at a great price.

I'd read their terms and conditions and use credit card (not debit) or Paypal.if the company isn't on eBay.

Just bear in mind the set up for Asian handsets are slightly different from Europeans, as my Hong Kong bought Note 4 cannot pick up 4G in the UK. When i called Samsung Helpline they suggested to re-flash the handset to the UK spec, but since the warranty is valid only in Asia, if anything was to go wrong i would not be covered, so in the end i left it.
The phone has either a 'H' or 'H+' where the '4G' logo should be, but i can live with that.

That's true. But not any of the reviews are about dealings regarding warranty.

I put the same deal on a few weeks back by the same supplier but the moderator pulled it as the company didn't meet it's seller requirements. :disappointed:
