Same phone as banggood deal yesterday, just slightly cheaper. Global version with Band 20 so compatible with UK 4G :innocent:

if you choose a fast delivery, then it's more likely to get charged with customs.
choose the slowest free delivery service and it it's unlikely to get caught .
I've had about 10 phones and plenty of other items, never paid customs.
of course, you should be prepared to take the hit though, as it's not guaranteed

Have four Xiaomi phones here and recently received a Redmi 4A for the MIL. Had a look at the Samsung Galaxy J3 with same Snapdragon 425 though only 1.5GB/8GB though decided to save £40 on the 4A as warranty rarely used IME. (unless it's a Samsung) :wink:
Can't see me buying another Samsung now I have found Xiaomi.

Im quite sure the answer of this will be yes, but is this better than the doogee x5? The screen seems to be going funny on my x5, it's so sensitive to the tiniest bit of moisture that it makes texting impossible during the humid months

I've owned 2 x Doogee phones, the X5Pro and the X6Pro.
I've never owned a Xiaomi phone but my mate has the Mi4 and the build quality was far superior.
There were a few quirks with the Doogee phones using (or not being able to use) the camera withing certain apps and this was a big deal for me sending messages to my kids while overseas.
They did perform very well indeed but build quality was particularly light on the X5Pro.
I'm now running an LG K8 (adb terminal enabled to merge external SD Card) which is hobbled with the standard 8GB of storage. Other than the storage it's a very decent phone, build quality vastly better than the Doogee products.
My other daily driver is a ZTE Zmax 2 Pro which is of far better quality than Doogee but perhaps not quite as polished as the LG.

Will there be import duties and vat to pay when it arrives in the country?

Pretty sure your conversations will be spied on by the Chinese through the snapdragon ice-cream jellybean sandwich bugging device hidden inside. Use with caution and don't tell 'em your name Pike.

I ordered an Xiaomi Mi3 from GearBest about a month ago and it came within a week. They must have some stocks in this country
