Order through Handtec. You order it tonight you will have it at your door Tuesday morning. Total price will be about $750
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
No I imported a one x a few months back. In the US you don't pay import tax, at least I didn't. But US customs did contact me and needed more info on the item I was bringing them. I just told them it was a One X.
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
No, FedEx will not charge us here in the USA to clear customs.
[Galaxy Note II General] gaberosa:
Just ordered a straight talk Micro SIM Card with the unlimited service 45$ card, now i need to wait for Monday to see who i am going to get this phone from, i would like the international version. :) Is the UK version the international model or just the Korean?
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
Ya man Canada's import tax is 13% and that's not even including duties.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Seriously? I looked on their site but couldn't make sense of any of it....lol Gonna order now.....are the grey's really readily available? Never ordered direct from the UK. Customs should go smooth enough to get it here Tuesday? That is freaking FAST! Thank you good sir!
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
If you read the fedex tracking email, you'll see that all it is is a receipt of a tracking number request. I assume that they will be shipped out tomorrow as they always said, and we'll get them Tuesday.
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Yes they are very reliable. I have ordered half dozen phones from them never once had a problem. I have also never had a problem with customs either.

The thing you have to remember is that we here in the USA DO NOT PAY VAT. So our price is 435 pounds which equals $701. So with shipping total you are looking at about $730

When I put my tracking number into FedEx.com it is telling me delivery Tuesday morning October 2 by 10:30am

So both colors are def all shipping out tomorrow with a Tuesday delivery.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Only thing i was worried about is the fact that they don't have a next day option for shipping to the US. Only a Fed-Ex 1-4 days
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Yeah they say that just to be on the safe side. You will def get it within one day. People on these forums who live in California and have ordered through them have even gotten it next day.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Thank you! I'm ordering NOW! Just needed confirmation...lol Big thanks bro...gonna snag the grey one :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Nuwidol:
Well, I couldn't wait for the grey one in the end. My Brother went down to the Samsung store in London today & picked us up a white one each :P

Its lovely. Much better than my Note 1. The screen is beautiful. I used to think my Note 1 had a fantastic screen but with them side by side there is a huge difference.

JB is also a really nice upgrade from ICS. Everything is beautifully smooth & very, very quick.

Apparently I can't post images yet though. I was trying to post an image of the phone scoring 1955 on the Geekbench 2 suite (iPhoe 5 scored 1600ish). Note 2 is the new Top Dog.

I uploaded a video to You Tube called Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Geekbench Run if you want to see it being run.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Hmmm....I don't really get it. How did they send your phone today over there in handtec UK? The time you post this message is about 9 pm Sunday over in London. Do people in hantec work on Sundays and after 5pm??
[Galaxy Note II General] kkma1869:
Congratulations on your new note 2. How much did you pay in london? Was this Westfield?
[Galaxy Note II General] CurrentlyPissed:
If I order the version from handtec or clove, would it work on sprints network? And would I be just limited to 3g?
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
No they don't, I explained that a few post later after this. They just gave me tracking info and fed ex will ship it tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II General] EvoYas:
I finally just ordered from clove and will have it sometime this week for sure. I mean its really only a difference of 50 to 60 dollars when its available in US. Cant wait.

[Galaxy Note II General] MinionOfEckerd:
What carrier are you planning on using it on? Is the GN2 coming from Clove able to get HSPA+ speeds? (I'm curious because I want to get a GN2 and use it on Straight Talk/AT&T and get HSPA+. Thanks!)
[Galaxy Note II General] gaiden:
Got the tracking number last night.. Wil be delivered by monday oct 8 at 6 pm.. Sooo happy... So it took atleast aweek from uk to australia... No prob as im out of town anyway till nextweek...

Anybody having problem paying if it help i used googlecheckout works great got an instant email passing security check didnt do anything.. Just login to my google account...
[Galaxy Note II General] CurrentlyPissed:
Can someone please answer this? I would like to pull the trigger.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
So if they have given you a tracking number that means fedex has already got your phone?

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

A week?! Wow...that's long. Which company and shipping method did you choose?

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

Don't know about the answer to the sprint question. But the international versions you get now are 3g only
[Galaxy Note II General] CurrentlyPissed:
It's killing me lol. I want to ordere the version from Handtec, but I just don't know if it will work on Sprint's network or not. Ugh. I wish someone would answer. I know someone here knows.
[Galaxy Note II General] thanhdang:
The galaxy note 2 international version won't work on Sprint nor verizon. However, it will work on T-Mobile (Edge) and AT&T(3G)
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Hope i get tracking in the morning! Can't wait!
[Galaxy Note II General] TheFamilyMan:
I don't recall me telling anybody how to spend their money nor criticize ANYBODY about anything. I deserve the lowly title of being disabled - DO YOU THINK i LIKE IT? DON'T YOU THINK I WISH I WAS WORKING? DON'T YOU THINK I'D LOVE TO WALK MY DAUGHTERS DOWN THE AISLE WHEN THEY GET MARRIED? DO YOU THINK I LOVE HAVING STEEL AND CADAVER BONE INSIDE MY BODY LET ALONE ALL THAT BLOOD SOME GENEROUS POEPLE DONATED BECAUSE AT THE TIME I NEEDED IT?

I consider myself lucky just to be here dude and I'm NOT going to live my life explaining to you or ANYBODY ELSE how, why, and where I spend my money!

I also am lucky enough to have been awarded disability - do you know what it's like going 4 years without a paycheck, having two girls and a wife to support with no assistance from anybody??? Do you comprehend the sense of desperation year after year? Unless you've been where I've been - get out of my face - I can still defend myself anyway I possibly can - I didn't give up and I'm NOT about to for the likes of you and people like you.

I can say I'm taking advantage of all the years I paid into Social Security which probably won't be around when you need it. Just for the record, what they provide anyone on SSD is wayyyyy below the poverty line, you get me, are you thinking about what I'm describing here.

If you don't have anything nice to say then DON'T SAY IT AT ALL!
[Galaxy Note II General] EvoYas:
Ill be using it on simple mobile 4G :)

Message Coming from the Android universe.
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Yes it will get HSPA speeds.

I am also planning on using it on Straight Talk.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
It won't work on sprint. Sprint uses CDMA, this is GSM.
[Galaxy Note II General] gaberosa:
What about the one from handtec i am kinda confuse :/ is the UK version going to be the Internationale if not then what is? please reply it will help me on my order. So i can get it shipped by Monday any one!
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
The international non-lte model is the N7100, so just look for that.

The LTE model is the N7105 which isn't out yet.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II General] gaberosa:
Thank you so much! Just Placed my order with Google checkout, I hope FedEx delivers it to my PO Box like amazon does with all my orders.

I also ordered a straight talk micro sim card with unlimited service card. but straight talk charged me twice for the same order and every time i call them to refund me the mistake they did, they say they don't have my card on file, that there wasn't a order and some BS... i will see if one order is cleared and other is refunded this afternoon, and if both are cleared all call my bank -.- to have this **** fix... I also want to get a cover for the back and a screen protector does any one know where to get them?
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
My phone's being packed. It's possible it arrives tomorrow evening, Wednesday is guaranteed. It never took more than 2-3 days for any domestic delivery.

I've been reading every post on this thread for a week now, what are you raging about again?
[Galaxy Note II General] gaiden:
[/COLOR]

A week?! Wow...that's long. Which company and shipping method did you choose?

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

hi Dmax, it was the fedex priority

Ship date Sep 30, 2012

Destination samsonvale qld AU

Estimated delivery Oct 8, 2012by 6:00 PM

Service type Priority Pak

maybe its just worstcase scenario due to custom?
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Mine Will arrive in 5hours... The long wait...
[Galaxy Note II General] rp4k:
That is odd because here in shenzhen China and in Hong Kong they are only selling the LTE version and they are calling it the n7100. and I know it has 4g because there demo phone had 4g service bars
[Galaxy Note II General] Beamen1:
proshop.no has them in stock! Cheap too! Ordered it just now, so I will hopefully have it tomorrow/Wednesday :D
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Now this will confuse everyone! Samsung!
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
It's just 4600 at CDON, it says it's being packed. Should be sent today.
[Galaxy Note II General] @home:
Just cancelled my order with Clove.

Gone with Handtec - On-line chat agent told me they had over 150 Grey units in stock. If she was BS me I'll be well angry.

[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:

[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:

[Galaxy Note II General] Nuwidol:
Yes, it was Westfield. The phone was £569 but we got a Galaxy Note II Cupcake & a pack of Jelly Beans to go with it so it was worth the extra money lol...
[Galaxy Note II General] @home:
Did they also confirm they had 150 units in stock?

Did you order the GREY?
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Dammit! I had handtec ship to my job. Now they have emailed me wanting details of my job or bank info....hope this doesn't screw with my delivery!
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
It shouldn't if you provide the info they want sharpish!
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Just got a dispatch confirmation email from clove. ...YAY!

Also got my cheap tpu case tonight....I must say I am loving the dimensions of the phone already....much easier to hold than the note 1....can't wait....;)
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Yeah i got back to them QUICK! Ends up they had already confirmed the address :) And i quote
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Great! Lol. They did same to me even when payed via PayPal!!!! I hear people here saying they don't do this if payed via google checkout. Guess what payment method I'm using next time!

Or I'll open an account. Handtec seem good
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Yeah i also payed with Paypal.....i'll know now in the future! So far Handtec's customer service is spot on :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Beamen1:
Yupp. I bought it for 5000. Then I saw the price drop to 4500, just minutes after placing my order so I canceled that order and placed a new order at 4500, now it's back at 5000 :D

Hopefully it will get sent tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II General] @home:
What did they ask for? Are you in UK
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Proof of address, utility bill, drivers license so on. Got a scan emailed back to them instantly!!! I'm in uk yes. Londinium :cowboy:

Grown man acting like a child here!
[Galaxy Note II General] @home:
How soon after you ordered did they ask?

I'm at work & don't a utility bill & don't drive, I payed via paypal, so far no security email from them. Ordered at 10.30am today
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
It was odd cause I ordered on Saturday morning (cancelled cloves dry white version) and was asked for secirity details on that evening!

Just emailed them and a whole 6 minutes later have received reply that they're happy and posting to me today!! Thats better than a flipping orgasm!! Pathetic I know:( :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] nishbul:
You should have gone with the Google Checkout, no questions asked.

Was just checking Cloves unboxing video, seems like the EU phones wall charger is a different to what we use over here in North America, how do guys intend to charge it besides plugging it in the PC.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpkkXtgU1gs
[Galaxy Note II General] :
The EU/Asian charger is always different from the one in NA. The seller may give you an adapter for free (negrielectronics often does this), or you can buy a cheap one on amazon or ebay :D
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
I have ordered many phones from Handtec and they will usually throw in the box a converter for free. Even on their website it says the phone will come with a free converter.
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:

[Galaxy Note II General] Bilhouse:
Has anyone in the UK received their dispatch notice from Handtec?

Mine is meant to be arriving tomorrow but I haven't got my tracking number yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] Deaj:
N7100 (Titanium Grey) Inbound!

I just spoke with sales at Negri Electronics with whom I've had a standing pre-order for a Marble White N7100.They received a shipment of Titanium Grey and they're expecting another shipment today with both White and Grey units. They still had Grey units in stock according to sales. I had picked White as it seemed as though it was shipping earlier than the Grey (color wasn't an important factor for me). They switched my order to Grey and it will ship this afternoon via FedEx overnight. I should have the N7100 in hand by 11:00am tomorrow morning. WOOT! :victory:

Popular Electronics (in Wisconsin?) also has Grey in stock this morning.

Nice to see them arrive here in the U.S. so quickly! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:

There should not be any Duty on cell phones, but you'll pay GST or HST on it.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
has anyone got their dispatch notice from handtec with shipping - ROYAL MAIL? I can't remember last time I got my note from them.

the reason I asked, is because I ordered an accessory which said IN STOCK at the time, then I find out 10 hours ago that my accessory was out of stock, and I only found out because I enquired about my order via webchat -___-

I said forget about the acccesorry, send the phone and credit the accessory, because who the hell is going to be able to wait for something to come in stock lol... so anyway he said he told the warehouse. but I get no confirmation email or anything so I dunno, I'll probably end up calling them in a week because I haven't received my phone, only to hear there will be no note on my file regarding this. typically my luck :(
