Hong Kong Goldway, should come up on Google

I done that but the shipping options are only standard or DHL. And nothing about avoiding customs. Might be because I'm on the app on phone. Will have a look from computer

Yeah it doesn't seem to be offered on every product, just looked there. Have a look at a few others and see if it comes up. Should be called "Sellers method". Possibly message them about it.

Checked again and they seem to have removed the option now.

My Vernee Thor has arrived according to my tracking #
I'll report my impressions in the next couple of days.

Any update on how you are finding the Thor?

Need to buy a new phone and must decide on whether to buy the Thor or something similar or break open the piggy bank and get an Honor 7.

Hi guys,

Xiaomi Redmi 2 owner here. I'm taking a look around for a phone with a full HD screen, not bigger than 5" and has the ability to use SD cards for storage. Must come in under the €200 as well. Is there anything out there? Most that I have looked at are over the budget or else they are giant 5.5" monsters!

There isn't much difference in 5 and 5.5 inch, I have a 5.5 inch phone now but I used to switch back to 5 inch phones but I missed the extra screen size.

Have you used a 5.5" phone? They're not a huge jump up from 5", like you get used to them fairly fast.

Looking at this phone Elephone P9000 and checked it on "will my phone work".

It says 4G will on Meteor, however the phone specs make no mention of "800Mhz".

Am I missing something?

Anyone any advice on this please.
Thanks in advance.

It supports band 3 (1800Mhz) which most Irish networks use for 4g LTE so it will work.

They look quite nice. I have to admit that I haven't used a 5.5 inch phone before but don't think I could use it with one hand. I was very interested in the Xiaomi Note 2 but think the size could be an issue. I'm annoyed that some of the nicer phones out there don't take SD cards...

Neither of them are 5.5 inch. Both 5 inch. (Not sure if you were referring to them).

Banggood are giving 10% off items on the entire site, except for discounted items (although it seems to work on some of them).
It only works once per account.

It drops the Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro down to €138.84

Bluboo are holding a sales event. Gearbest are just one of their partners but there are other, possibly better, options to choose from.

Which cheap Chinese phone(under €250) has the best camera?

I have bought from them a couple of times with no problem. Once the order never showed up, but they refunded me after waiting a couple of more days - but they were responsive & easy to deal with, unlike that other site named above who I would never buy from again even at half price.

Felix Jones is God

Just got an email from Wish stating the Umi Rome with 3 GB RAM and 64gb HDD is on sale for €109....surely worth a punt!

Thanks looks like a great price.. Would these take some tinkering to change language remove software

Ordered the Elephone P9000, I'll report back in a couple of weeks.
