1311583 2012-11-10 08:04:00 I'm gonna be ordering a Nexus 4 for me on Thursday, and about half a dozen mates too... and my bro's getting a Nexus 10 as well.

Just thought I'd post on here and see if anybody else was interested as well. I'll basically be taking care of the ordering and importing and things, and we'll save on shipping and whatnot.

Anyways, the offers there :)

1311584 2012-11-10 08:21:00 how much will they be roughly? not that I can afford it at the moment.

By the way: I knew someone else who got some kind of ipod (or whatever it was) one for him & more for his friends, from overseas. Because he brought in a few he had to pay GST on the lot as he was classed as a 'importer' if he had of got just one there would of been no GST because it would of been seen a personnel import. (at least I think from memory that is the truth of it) anyway all his mates had to make a second smaller payment.

1311585 2012-11-10 09:49:00 Yeah, im pretty sure the rule is anything over $500 you pay gst on top. stratex5 (16685)
1311586 2012-11-10 10:45:00 I'm keen, depending on how much the Nexus 4 ends up costing and what kind of ETA we're looking at. Cato (6936)
1311587 2012-11-10 12:19:00 Delivery prolly take around 2 weeks, so last week of Nov
The 16GB will be around NZD$525
GST / Import Duty is paid on anything other than the Nexus 7 (on its own), so we're just doing a bulk order anyways and lumping it all together, so can't save on GST. If it's under $60 for the Import Duty & GST, they "let it slide" coz it's not worth the hassle. Roughly anything over $350 is likely to be picked up, so we mostly just save on the shipping / forwarding and stuff.

Plus it's a TON cheaper than NZ retail!!

1311589 2012-11-10 19:41:00 Ohh ... tempted. I am planning to get a smartphone before Christmas and was looking at the Samsung Galaxy S3... Jen (38)
1311590 2012-11-10 20:12:00 Damn, very tempted but I'll probably have to wait until later on this year :( at least then they will be 2nd hand and cheaper :devil The Error Guy (14052)
1311591 2012-11-10 20:15:00 Ohh ... tempted. I am planning to get a smartphone before Christmas and was looking at the Samsung Galaxy S3...

Think of what you could do with the money you save on the S3!!! The Nexus 4 is almost half the cost of an S3....
