Does anyone know whether you would have to pay import VAT on goods from eglobal? If you have to add extra 20% on top of the listed price then you can defo get it cheaper elsewhere.

No.. me and my friends bought 4 phones from them so far. We never had to pay import VAT or any thing else...

17.1 To simplify the process of buying internationally, eglobal central choose to handle the process of custom clearance for customers. By purchasing products through eglobal central, you authorise eglobal central to make arrangements for clearance of customs on your behalf for the products in your order.

As a result, prices shown on this website are the final total you have to pay to have the order delivered to your door, without any hidden charges and customs delay.

My friends and I are thinking of buying this. :wink:

Anyone know if this is an EU model? Samsung won't honour warranty with devices from UAE, Hong Kong, etc.
imiy to minted83
31 Aug 17#17
Its definitely gonna be non EU Spec. So no warranty with Samsung but will be honoured by the retailer.

Mmmm buy flight to Hong Kong (for the repair) or chuck in the bin? Which will be cheaper - definitely a toss up :thinking:

Your first port of call with any warranty issue is with the seller, they will then take it up with the relevant Samsung service centre for the area that it was supplied from. This is not to say that you will get satisfaction from Samsung as they have several carefully worded responses that enable them to void the warranty, such as water ingress, unauthorised removal of a part. Having said that I have never had a problem with a Samsung phone or smart watch.

The seller is in Hong Kong. Samsung UK won't entertain a warranty claim on a non-European model. Might as well buy a Xiaomi or something.

Is it duel active or duel standby sims?

Your question is answered by clicking the link, and reading the specification list.

Thanks,
it wasn't that, I hadn't realised it was automatically selecting insured delivery. Which has an additional charge.

For me, it is coming up as £505.99. 'FEAST' is taking £10 off the total to make it £495.99. Am I missing something?
Where is the extra £11 coming off? I removed the expensive shipping option so its not this.

How would the warranty work on this?
brooklynbrawler
31 Aug 17#26
Noone has actually explained how to get the handset for the price listed. It should be listed at £495.99 as the £10 discount code 'FEAST' off of a stock price of £505.99 does not equal £484.99.
raviab to brooklynbrawler

Maybe it included the 2% quidco cashback?
brooklynbrawler to raviab
31 Aug 17#29
Is there not a rule that cashback amounts are not guaranteed and should not be included in the price stated on HUKD threads? Even the OP says 'possible 2% quidco'.
2% of 495.99 is £9.91, taking the total to £486.08 in any case.

I can't see the post from Noone explaining this. Any idea where his post went of does no one know?

31 Aug 17#28
I can confirm that no Samsung warranty will apply to this and you will need to speak to the suppliers to resolve if you have a problem. i know this as I deal with chargeback claims were many people have fallen victim to this and Samsung have told them to go away. i personally think its not worth the risk, but on the other hand you do get it cheaper buying from abroad
Can anyone advise whether its best to use Paypal or A credit card if people are considering using this company? There appears to be a high chance that you'll need some form of consumer protection provided by either mechanism.

For what it's worth, one of my phones developed a defect after I purchased from eglobal. It was an LG phone and it was not UK stock (I believe it was TW stock). Eglobal provided an UK address for me to post the phone back. It took a long time (about a month), as I presume they had to ship it back to Asia to get it serviced, but eventually I got my repaired phone back. Throughout the process they have a web ticket tracker where you can inquire them about the repair status and they usually responded within a day.
So there is a vendor warranty, but be prepared for it to take a long time if a fault does develop, but I cannot fault them as they delivered what they promised in the end. The only cost I had to pay was the postage cost to the UK address.

For 20£ more you can buy it from amazon.it? unlocked with warranty...plus it's amazon.
It's the single SIM version from Amazon.it unlike this one, which is dual SIM

Dual sim is rubbish for me, but this is my opinion

Only for the first 3 months under the A-Z guarantee, after that your on your own
kjfrazer to johnwillowlfc
31 Aug 17#42
6 months isn't it? Pay by credit card and they'll have your back too.
johnwillowlfc to kjfrazer
31 Aug 17#44
Yes Section 75 may cover you but after 6 months of ownership it is the customer who has to prove to the credit card company that the phone was not provided with a fault present at the time of purchase as warranties typically only cover manufacturing defects. Also to answer your question on the A-Z guarantee its 90 days after delivery to file a claim amazon.co.uk/gp/…730
Edit to above: Section 75 does not cover Amazon Marketplace purchases as there is no direct link between the Creditor and the Supplier and there has to be for a S75 claim to be established as Amazon are not the suppliers of the products.

I have taken the plunge, wanted a dual sim and an S8. It's annoying they don't do dual sim in uk versions but guessing carriers blocked that one.

what are the disadvantages of a dual SIM compared to single SIM (apart from being potentially more expensive)?! Can't you just put one SIM in a dual SIM phone?

Just common sense prevailing I think, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't :wink: PS Bought several 200 plus phones from them, no import duties etc, no problems. Well over three months now! UK model etc (always the same questions) When I see stuff advertised here, I often compare it with Eglobal, where it usually is cheaper but no point in advertising it here as the doubters will immediately try and vote it cold

I've bought from eglobal before, had no issues.
But it is usually NOT UK stock. The FD model / dual sim model is not a UK SKU and most likely Samsung will not cover it in the UK warranty procedures.
