Obviously not but as long as you don't go for the DHL shipping option then you won't pay any. Judging by your username though you won't be buying this deal just in case.

First time order of a Chinese phone from Ali Express.
Picked this up for my Mum, had my doubts of what a sub £120 phone can do/be (used the ali express app to get the price above with £8 coupon off or something).
From ordering to delivery in my depot ( i am a postie) was 7 days, I have a S7 Edge, n whilst it doesn't have the super amoled screen and NFC of a Samsung premium phone, for what it does include for sub £120 is FANTASTIC!!
I use the finger print scanner on my S7 Edge, whilst good on the front it could be better, keep in mind the edge is a £500 + phone, the note 3 finger print scanner is on the back, (where the S8's is gonna be) and WOW is that thing accurate and fast!
Super smooth UI, massive battery, 5.5" screen, and what i was impressed with most of all was the build quality from Xiaomi.
If this is the effort and features they have in their entry level phones, i am very keen to try one of their premium models, the likes of which are still sub £250 massive price difference from the Samsung and Apple sim free pricing.
Overall Samsung and the like have got complacent in recent years, the likes of Xiaomi, and Blu Boo are hitting a market they have overlooked, and are doing a great job in the process, with the Samsung Note 7 debacle the big boys are gonna need to really step up their game!
Thanks again OP for the deal link, and all the comments and tips from the HUKD army!

Buying stuff from China might not be for you
Sit tight stop being a drama queen and wait for your phone to arrive

if you're ordering one from aliexpress search for redmi note 3 152mm. that finds a lot.
also check out XDA for redmi note 3. it has an accessory post which shows lots which fit the Kate version here.

Got the 2gb version of this and took 11 days from a seller called Goldway, just received a Mi Max phone today and took 14 days but after 7 hours setting the phone up it had problems swiping across the screen, thought it was a glitch in one app but after 4 apps i reset the phone to go back tho got this one via ebay and not ali express like the note 3 pro.

21 days from ordering to delivery to rural Scotland, standard free delivery from aliexpress. I ordered a Mi Max early December, incredible phone for £120 delivered, like the Miui software a lot. Remember to give quidco or topcasback a try, remove the UK warranty charge, unless you want it, and I got a $10 discount for setting up a new customer account.

I ordered mine on 30th dec & got it in 9 days! Same phone & same seller over standard China post & received by royal mail - no customs.

My mi maxs delivery took 14 days from placing order to my door. Dispatch took 7 days and delivery itself only one week! And that was the cheapest option, not dhl.

Non-removable batteries are a major pain :disappointed:

Battery is easily replaced (at least for the normal one- son smashed the screen and I took it apart. Eventually bought this....)

Just not locale. Set Falklands. New update has UK.
The link in your comment is the same phone as the one in this deal. This comment link explains the usage of "Prime" by some sellers. Although the comment is about the RN4, it's the same idea for the RN3. It doesn't have any model/variant that is officially named "Prime" by Xiaomi so it is based on seller naming which varies. For example, Honorbuy's page and Geekbuying's page for the same phone don't say "Prime".
