Frequently missed by customs though if caught expect 20% of value including shipping and £13ish fee for the privilege of collecting the money.
I have had around 7 phones delivered with no fees.

In my experience using non DHL they will be nil as they will be labelled 'watch parts' or something equally 0 rated

Who cares about it being gold.
Just get a skin or cover.
This phone is amazing. I bought my uncle the Mi5 and it's super fast.
Id say even faster than my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge

I have a 3 sim only deal. Will this phone work with this network? Looking at http://willmyphonework.net it will work on 3g and 'may' work on 4g.

It will definitely work on 3g on all networks but 4g is not guaranteed to be fulll fat as most of the uk network use band 20 in some way. I'm on we and have a non band 20 phone (zuk z2) and haven't encountered any probs. O2 users, of course, will only get 3g

I got my Xiaomi MI5 from this seller (banggood) and I was very pleased.
Arrived in about two weeks well packaged in nicely understated packaging so no customs problems ;-)
Don't pay for fast delivery, DHL etc always tell customs and charge you.
Just don't expect the tracking to work, it never does.

Ordered the Mi6 with no band 20, I'm getting 4G with O2 and I live 30 miles from London. I believe O2 have been rolling out 1800mhz frequency so even O2 isnt a massive problem. Maybe unless you live in the middle of nowhere!

I have this phone and was pleasantly surprised at the camera being decent. It is better than my iPhone 6 this phone replaced.
No band 20 but I can't say I've ever noticed an issue with the mobile internet, generally always shows 4G and I'm on EE. That said, I did have problems whilst in Greece in that I couldn't get any signal, whereas my friend on EE with and iPhone had no issues, however, this may be down to the sim only being 3 weeks old.
The phone is very fast and stable when running and the build quality is excellent. A word of warning, this does NOT come with any type of gorilla glass and scratches VERY easy, get a screen protector as you will definitely need it (I found this out after a day at the beach).
Another downside is I haven't been able to get notifications for some apps to work correctly on the lock screen e.g. Ebay will make a notification noise, the lock screen will wake but not display any message. WhatsApp works fine though and displays correctly. Annoying in some respects considering settings for both apps are exactly the same.
I can highly recommend this phone though and will definitely upgrade to a newer Xiaomi in a few years.
