I bought a n lg v10 a couple of months ago. would the priced rop if i waited for a couple of months?

Has anyone used this company before? Are they legit?

used them three times never needed to use warranty so cant say how good or bad that is but the tablet and the two phones i got cant complain im even considering selling my gflex 2 and getting the motorola xforce off them for the better canera and battery

Already posted last week.

bite the bullet. Cost me £400.70 with insured shipping.

i paid via PayPal

K, (I assume not funded by Paypal credit). Thanks for info.

Is this b grade stock or returned items? I'm worried as they are based in HK.

They sell new products unless specified. This is steal considering it's better than the UK version with the Quad DAC.

I've heard eGlobal are a bit hit and miss but most of the issues stem from poor turnaround times (we're talking months and months) for stuff that needs to be RMA'd and issues regarding delivery times during busy periods.
I'd say use a credit card for the extra protection if you use eGlobal to be on the safe side.

At this price I'd say it's well worth the risk for the money you save. I've taken the plunge and had an email through saying it's on it's way. I'll update this if it's still active when I get it.

I did, for the extra protection. Transaction just went through as normal as if I used a debit card.

Appreciate your response. Did you receive a payment confirmation from Worldpay or EGC / other? Not to be confused with any "thanks" or "order acknowledgement" msg from EGC. Thanks.

I believe I had a payment confirmation from Worldpay onscreen at the time of ordering but no separate email from them. I just had the one email from EGC with the order summary/receipt.

Thanks. I'm sure you can see I'm trying to confirm if WP is acting as a processor for EGC or as an "agent" (obviously agent may detrimentally impact on S75 cover). Possibly final Q: when you can view your CC statement, I would appreciate if you could confirm the payee as WP or EGC. Cheers.

Yeah no worries. Looking at my online CC statement which is pretty basic as it's a pending transaction but it comes up as "EGLOBALCENTRAL.UK" so I don't think WorldPay come into it. I'd say if you're uncertain then give it a miss, but I'll update here as soon as I receive the phone and let everybody know how it went.

Ordered the Platinum version, Thank-You :smiley:

Great, that implies S75 may be enforceable if required. Would appreciate an update when the CC statement shows the transaction has passed from pending status. Thanks for your persistence.

EGC are excellent value. Just hope that there isn't any issue with the phone.

Wow good deal for a phone that has only recently come out. I will be waiting for sub £300.

EGC is a safe company. I bought a nexus 5x£230 A one plus 3t £380. And a canon dslr costing £1600. All delivered with in 6 days. All new. No issues.

i dont have the lg g6 far east version (and i was gutted the uk didnt get the dac) however having had the uk version g6 for 2 weeks my only main Gripe is the poor quality of the camera in low light, particularly the front facing camera. i've yet to take an indoor selfie that i havent immediately deleted. very fuzzy/grainy - the ffc on the G4 was markedly better.. ive taken some very good well lit pictures, but any unexpected movement or low light and they are just awful.

From what i've read the forthcoming htc11 is also high quality audio.

That seems like a cracking deal to me. Nice one. :smiley:

I was just about to post this. This price is for the Platinum version. The white version is a bit cheaper @ £389.93, and the black version a bit more expensive @ £410.30. I would've gone for the black, but it broke the psychological £400 barrier for me. The difference between this and the UK model is amazing. And at around £100 cheaper, give or take.

I had actually signed up for the UK version on contract with O2 earlier today, but cancelled as soon as I saw this price.

Something to consider as well if you're a returning customer. They have a "rewards" scheme running, which should bag you and extra £35 off if you spend over £280. They say this is deducted automatically at checkout, but I never got it and I have raised a case with them. I've probably got a snowball's chance, but if you don't ask, and all that. Another 2% quidco as well.

I've used eGlobal a few times before and have always found them to be totally professional, keeping in touch throughout the ordering and shipping process, and checking to see if everything is in order once delivery is complete. And their prices, as you can see, are second to none. And I always pay with paypal for the added security.

Just bought LG V20 dual sim from T-Dimension for £347 also in Hong Kong, Phone was delivered from UK by DPD so no worries about import fees, paid by paypal, the only problem was that the account tracking did not progress and it read processing from the minute i paid until it was delivered.

I really want the G6 but heard battery life is kinda bad. I have a OP3t at the moment

What's the best way to pay, via PayPal?

i would stay away from this company, got an LG G4 from them some time ago, had been dealing with them for 4 months untill i got a partial refund ( the phone went into boot loop -LG factory defect). the phone was also within full warranty still. avoid !

Thanks

But not sure about this or oneplus 5 whenever it releases

shame it doesn't have snapdragon 835 like the other flagships

Good luck getting LG to warranty this. Given their track record with boot loops (my G4 went back twice) I wouldn't personally risk it.

Had a shipped email overnight :smiley:

They do not have an international warranty and will not accept non uk sourced phones

Stay far and wide from the company. They sell products they don't stock. Dispatch notes are sent when products aren't. Ordered Sony a6000 from them a while back. Had to complain so much to get money back. They even asked for passport and a bill to prove I was who I was.

So can you get the battery replaced on this? later down the line?

is the camera quality better than the S8 or U11 ???

I've been strongly considering the V20, particularly because it has a removable battery is very robust. It's now down to £305 on eglobal.

drunken, i tried to contact LG directly first, but LG- UK refused to accept it as it has Hong Kong Imei number. it had to go back to Asia.

Amazing price but after the disappointing at best, woeful at worst LG G5 I'm pretty much done with LG handsets now.

Its a great phone CEX pay £324 for an A grade V20 so if you dont like it you can sell it on at a profit.

White version is for 388.96£

Damn, I'm almost cracking... MY current G3 wont start tried new battery and nothing. always said to myself never pay more than £250.. but I need my phone...:disappointed:

I'm also cracking, went to see it in pc world and even though G6 is 5.7 and my current moto g4 is 5.5, the phone os actually smaller in total size.

Whats putting me off is not the phone, but everything else around it such as warranty, support, replacement, refund etc...

I've taken the plunge. I was holding out for the oneplus 5 but heard it's only 1080p. Just worried that the price of LGs always seems to drop like a brick.
There's also sellers on eBay supposedly shipping from Ireland for around £410

If you look at the earlier exchanges between BillyBoomhauser and myself, it appears that there may be a credible direct debtor-creditor-merchant arrangement when paying the merchant directly via UK-sourced credit and in such circumstances UK-enforceable S75 protection would apply where the UK-based credit provider (typically: credit card company) is legally obligated to jointly and severally assume all warranty and other merchant obligations.

Can you type that in English? :wink:

Mmm, maybe it was a little rambly. Gross summary: if applicable, pay EGC directly by UK credit card and any warranty or refund is sorted by credit card company. No need to even contact EGC after purchase.

Just be aware though it may not be straightforward in practice - a friend bought a grey import LG G4 (hadn't realised it at the time), had trouble getting warranty support so went through his credit card company who didn't seem to understand a grey import, even after a lot of contact going back and forth. I do know some people who have managed to get a warranty repair done but it took several months for the phone to be shipped back to its original country and then shipped back.

Perhaps others have a smoother run with their credit card companies but I'd still treat a grey import as no warranty and if someone does manage to get a refund or repair it's a bonus, it's something to weigh against the cost saving.

Andy I just looked at my CC statement and it comes up as:

EGLOBALCENTRAL.UK
LONDON
Household Appliance Stores
Sunday 21 May 2017

I've checked DPD and the phone was in Manchester yesterday so expecting it shortly.

Excellent, thanks.

UK credit card co's can be no different to any UK-based merchant when it comes to the occasional requirement of having to remind a company of its obligations. I had a similar brush aside from CC co when I made my first S75 claim, but a polite ref to both the legislation and its interpretation saw a prompt resolution of full refund, and I kept the busted kit.

I am curious to know if this supports 5.8GHZ wifi channel, any chance of testing this out. cheers

It looks like mine will be delivered via DPD tomorrow which is fantastic service! I have ordered items from many UK retailers that take longer than 4 days, touch wood the phone itself is fine :smiley:

(y)

Sorry to be thick but how do I go about testing it? Let me know as I'll definitely take a look, as I've been fiddling around with my wifi setup.

Edit: Spelling.

I've given up on LG too. great phones, had g2 and g4 but rubbish battery usage and can't be doing with that anymore

Just been delivered :smiley:

How is it? Worth getting?

Looks like the 3% flash sale is over, could've sworn it had anouther 24hrs left... oh well.

The voucher code EASY still works for a £10 discount.

GSM Arena spec the Wi-Fi as follows - Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, hotspot

Hope that's answers your question.

I got my DPD tracking no today. so hopefully Tuesday I'll be able to play with it.... :sunglasses:

Looks like it's back down again?

Wouldn't risk it for a phone that is likely to bootloop within 12 months.

Could you also foretell if Labour party will win this election?

Still waiting for mine. Already seeing word of the LG G7. Oh, the joys of upgradeitis

Voted hot and I've ordered

Not worth it. You have no warranty and check the LG boot loop threads. unreliable hardware.

there is a seller 1 year warranty https://www.eglobalcentral.co.uk/warranty-policy-en.html

Boot loop on the g6?

Ordered on 25/05 and received today. Got platinum one for £390.99 plus TCB tracked at £9.86. So far so good.
Used Xperia Z2 before which is a brilliant phone but couldn't stand the bezels so chosen this one over ZX Premium. Hope G6 will serve that long (nearly 3 years with Z2).

so if I bite on this is it best to pay by cc direclty or credit card via paypal, can anyone also confirm the 4g types this covers

handset support all 4G bands. so it's working with any network.

I received mine today. Everything seems fine. Only issue is I don't like the colour (platinum). really thinking about selling this and reordering black version.

To those of you who bought it and have received it: Did you pay for insurance shipping, or opt for free delivery?

Just the standard free delivery.

Can I just bring the V20 back into the forum, virtually the same spec as the g6 plus the dual screen, removable battery , IR blaster B&O tuned audiophile DAC plus B&O headphones for about £100 less!
https://www.eglobalcentral.co.uk/lg-v20-h990-dual-sim-64gb-sim-free-unlocked-titan.html

I think I may end up getting this. G6 is nice and sleek, but the V20 has larger camera sensor and a removable battery.

You could send it back within 30 days as per their terms - you pay return postage plus £15 handling. May take less of a hit?

I flog it on ebay for £455 (used my sell for £1 offer). Around £20 profit after PayPal charges and shipping. :smile:

Price drop: Now £376 for white, £377 for Black/Silver. Free screen protector. You can also use codes to bring price down, Happy3Years seems to still work for 3% discount. 'Easy' for £10 off. 'Papa7' for £7 off. (Note: You can't stack codes!)

https://www.eglobalcentral.co.uk/product/LG%20G6?subcats=Y&status=A&pshort=Y&pfull=Y&pname=Y&pkeywords=Y&search_performed=Y&q=LG%20G6

LG G6 comes with factory installed screen protector.

I received my one yesterday, after 5 days, the delivery was without insurance, everything looks very good , the sound it's amazing.

What was all in the box?

How long did it take them to actually send it? did you get a tracking number / notice of despatch?

I ordered mine on Monday and just got emailed to say it was out of stock. Delivery is expected in 2 to 3 days.

Did the phone come headphones?

i ordered the black version and it came with a pair of earphones in the box

From unboxing videos I've seen the Asian model comes with earphones in the box.

I don't believe the US/EU version do.
