I think they are one company website features are very much identical apart from layout design but plug ins seem to be of the same.

Same company , there’s about 3 of them. No way would I spend near £500 on a phone with no warranty you must be mental if you do to save about £100. Sounds like a good price until something goes wrong with it.

if you have decent phone insurance then it shouldn't be a problem, my S7 i bought last year is a dual sim import and that broke and i just got it repaired on my phone insurance i have included with bank no problem at all

How much was the excess on bank insurance? Mines £50. So might as well paid the extra to start with

Geez. As the months go by, HUKD is steadily going down in my estimation. These sort of 'deals' should not be allowed IMO. At the very least there needs to be a health warning outlining the potential risks in spending large amounts of cash purchasing goods from half way across the world. But money talks eh...??

Assuming the buyer can pay the merchant directly via UK credit card (like at EGC) then the supplier obligations are inherited by the UK credit card company; examples being no import VAT to pay, plus the indicated 12m warranty. This is true of any £100+ purchase paid directly to a merchant via UK credit card no matter where in the world the supplier is located, including UK. In this case: UK credit card S75 protection talks.

Even if that is the case, it could take months to sort an issue out via your credit card company.
Additionally if you buy a phone that is subsequently faulty, the supplier will be entitled to it back for warranty work... Could be at least weeks before you get it back from a foreign supplier.
There are issues surrounding phone returns to China.
What if it gets lost in the post.... who do you claim from then? Royal Mail? Dhl? China post?

To repeat / expand: the UK credit card co assumes all the merchant responsibilities from supply (inc lost in post) to warranty (manufacturing defect). There is also no need nor obligation to ever contact the merchant again once the credit card payment has been made. S75 claims are straightforward. CC companies often scratch heads with S75 claims, but the CC companies know that they are obliged to fulfill the legal obligations of S75 and it is unlikely the UK credit card companies would want to be seen to be dragging their feet and expose themselves to regulatory intervention.

To be fair, I had a hellish time returning a faulty S8 to Amazon.it (very few courier companies will touch a phone with a sealed battery, RM wouldn't even entertain it) and that's within the EU, I'd hate to try and get back to HK.
Eventually cost £63 to return (although this got refunded by Amazon) and hours of emails, so S75 protection or not...if things go wrong, the £100 saving may not be worth it.

A Did you return phone to Amazon.it for a refund or repair?

Refund and replacement.

Every time I've ever asked RM to post a phone with a battery that can't be removed and asking them to put a hazard label on it, I've been told it's fine as long as it's turned off. Different post offices, different staff too - always the same.
Had no issues returning a faulty 3DS to Amazon.es, but admittedly that may be like comparing chalk and cheese (or paella and pasta :joy: ).

What you state is true. This and other factual guidance should be provided to potential buyers before they decide to go ahead and purchase from Chinese sellers.
Let's not avoid the fact there are other losers with these deals. Firstly, someone ultimately has to pick up the tab for credit card refunds caused by Chinese sellers saving costs by avoiding their responsibilities - and it isn't the credit card companies. Secondly, Chinese sellers and UK customers collude in avoiding having to pay import duties. It is one of the reasons why their low prices are so tempting. Honest UK based traders are losing out, as is the British taxpayer. The whole business is a legal and moral mess IMO and reflects badly on any organisation that makes money actively promoting it.

I understand CC companies reclaim the majority of S75 costs from the merchant via some terms in the merchant card processing agreement; obviously won't apply if the merchant ceases trading where the CC company may take the hit. Note example of EGC who typically state the customer has "no further import costs to pay." This is usually because the item is shipped to an intermediary in the UK prior to onward shuffle to the actual buyer - it is the intermediary who is liable for any import fees such as VAT, should HMRC decide fees are due, and presumably EGC has an arrangement with the intermediary.

I now understand that this seller will not accept direct payment by credit card. Only accepts via a third party like PayPal and Worldpay. I understand that protection from s75 is unclear at best but probably doesn't apply.
AndyRoyd to topazz

Direct CC payment to merchant is mandatory for S75 eligibility, so if direct CC payment is not an option via TD then obvsly S75 is not applicable. This is different to EGC who do accept direct CC payment (unless EGC systems have changed within the last 4 wks).

A HUKD mod deleted a deal I submitted for a well known legitimate UK-based company for bogus reasons and flagged my account, then they go and allow this. I'm thankful for those who do post deals but I havent the patience with them anymore.
