I got an invite so bought it of the official site and the had it delivered to a forwarding agent and they shipped it internationally.

Total expenditure including custom duty was INR. 28,000 for me.

all these phones are made in China and then shipped to USA mine is from USA and therefore has cyanogen written on its back cover and came with CM11s installed. The ones bought from China directly will come with color os and will not have the cyanogen written on the back cover. But that said you flash cyanogen rom over it.

USA and China models work in India mine is working perfectly.

Okay, how much do you think would the 16GB version would cost including customs?
[ONE General] Oomahey:
28K!? I got it for 26K, including customs, shipping, etc.. Which mail forwarder did you use?
[ONE General] jagdesh:
Hi

I used viabox.Com. They first charged me for FedEx Priority Service but later sent it through TNT normal shipping. Now they are saying they will issue a partial refund of my shipping charges.

So once I get that then total cost should be around 26-27k

Recently, my mother wanted a new phone as she has been using a Samsung Galaxy Ace from a long time. She wanted to venture into the Flagship phones and disliked every one of them (you know how choosy mothers can get). But i am proud to say, she herself stumbled upon this phone and wants the OPO, and for her the more the space, the better it is. But I had to reveal to her that this phone cannot be bought at a market. So I request my fellow xda-mates here, please send me an invite if possible. I would be very very Grateful to you all. Just want to see my mother smile and use something which no one else has usually seen. (psst...mother's birthday round the corner).
[ONE General] sandeeppathak007:

Never select EMS as your shipping

Hello friends and oneplus one lovers:

I had very BAD experience with EMS shipping service. No one will receive your call and they never update the courier status on their tracking site.

Hence please do not select EMS shipping when you order your phone from Aliepress to india.

All the best

Thanks

Just bought mine from expansys.in, I have had some experience with them previously when I had bought Lg G watch (not too long ago, ofc). I have/had a nexus 5 that I bought almost 1 year back, but had a lot of bad stuff happen to it, including broken screen as well as borked data line in USB (i.e. usb can charge but no data/adb).

Anyway, I already posted about my experience in another thread about third party buyers so please take a look!

Tl;Dr: Amazing experience with buyer (ymmv of course), did not at all seem shady like those chinese scalpers on amazon and aliexpress (not necesarily bad, but I just have the worst luck when it comes to these things). It IS (or rather: was) the chinese version, I flashed custom recovery and PA rom, and am now more than happy with it. So far so good I guess. Let's hope it holds out as much as smartphones usually do.

I remember we were in touch before for nexus 4 accessories. Why don't you adopt the same method for this. I have already ordered mine. I can give you my address and we can save on shipping.

Cost of ordering and shipping to HSG was 23k as on 27th Aug.
[ONE General] varshil:
Yea bro. I had ordered my nexus 4 2 years back with hopshopgo and also accessories with it.

But the customs killed me. Took appx 4k. So i doubt i ll order opo via dat route this time.
[ONE General] sandeeppathak007:
Please share an invite if anyone has one

Thanks a lot
[ONE General] TjPhysicist:
Either way indian customs are one of the most expensive I've seen. And since most devices fall well above their cut off....the only way to avoid is to have someone purchase themselves and bring it as a personal item when they coming to india. I ordered G-Watch thru expansys and customs was 6K (for a 15K watch). OPO: customs = 3.2K (which is a bit better). I suspect that delivery company also makes a difference, with the watch i did aramex delivery instead of fedex (the other choice expansys has for india). I'd suggest doing UPS or FedEx or such, for some reason I have encountered more than a few people who have told me they have reason to believe customs goes a lot better with these guys.
[ONE General] abraham89:
if anybody has invites, and are kind of troubled thinking about the US shipping, i have a very secure way to solve it.. I have my cousin travelling from the US to India in a week or so, and i can ask him to do the handling and all.. Anybody interested in this can help me with an invite too ;)

edit : This direct person handling will not levy any customs fees i guess.. so by far, this is the most economic method i beleive.

2. Will the warranty be present even if I buy from Hong Kong?

3. Anyone has any ETA or any idea as in when and If there would be an India launch?

4. There is a website offering the OnePlus One 16GB @ 23K. Is it worth it? (Link: http://goo.gl/jDSUyx)

NOTE: I am really sorry if the above answers were solved. I would appreciate if anyone would help me out, as I am hoping to buy this phone in the near future and would like all queries solved before I purchase the device.

[ONE General] shubh_007:
They are going to repeat the same s**t here also starting with 100 invites and then increasing it slowly. I think amazon will just be their partner for distribution. They are going to irritate people the same way they have been doing till now.

Amazon will only handle payment and distribution of Oneplus One. In order to buy one in December we'll be needing India Specific Invite and probably use it on Amazon India.

Got my OPO But with a Yellow tint (Minimal but Noticeable)

Hi,

I got my OPO Yesterday and I think I have Yellow tint towards the bottom (Say 5-10%) which fades to the bottom, If anybody else got it and seen any such thing, please ping me.

I am not sure if the attached photo would do any justice but I was able to know the difference against a white background.

PS: I did not remove the plastic on the screen as I wanted to test all the functionality first and then if put the screen guard and case.
[ONE General] Sumit.K:
Don't worry, its just he adhesive that hasn't dried and it'll be soon be gone. There are many videos on YouTube regarding this issue and some of them have placed it under direct sunlight or exposed it to UV light to cure the tint. I'd recommend you to keep using the device as usual and this should disappear in some weeks. :highfive:

PS - If you're worried about the screen being yellow, try using the Moto X 2014 and you'll be horrified to see how pale yellow the screen looks when displaying white. I just sold my Moto X 2014 and replaced it with OPO. For me, I'm done with AMOLED'S and their horrendous burn-in issues, which I had on both my replacement devices (Moto X 2014)
[ONE General] Lakshay Sethi:
Nice to see everyone enjoying the OPO. There must be people who have been following the OPO forum for a long time.

I needed a little advice. I was contemplating about getting the OPO or the nexus 5.

I wanted to know if the development for OPO is as good as that of nexus 5? Thats all i care about. Hardware and everything else isnt an issue for me. If anyone could help, it would be great.

Thanks!

Edit: Also with the CM deal with micromax, the support of CM is definitely become less and CM is the one developing the code for lollipop.

[ONE General] mannu_in:
18K will never b the case in India... It is just the US price conversion in dollars...If they are going to release it in India, the price most probably will be around 23k-25k for 16GB.....Indian system is lot more complex and launching here is very cumbersome process.... Carl from Oneplus has mentioned the same thing regarding the launch(except the price)...So my best bet will be on Dollar going down hopefully after the election results.....nevertheless I will be buying it whether they release it in India or not...

[ONE General] anuj247:
My only concern is what if something goes wrong? They don't have any service centers or anything.
[ONE General] Krusade:
you'l be on your own if something (hardware) goes wrong, atleast till they launch it India.. however I doubt they will give global warranty and hence you'l have to pay for repairs, as for the software part, I dont need to tell you, as you are a XDA member :D

I guess customs will be more in bulk than on single product, Dk though, do some R&D.. best option atm is to ask any NRI relative to bring it from outside if they are coming(US is the cheapest option for INR, it ~21k, whereas in other countries it is ~22-23k by conversion)
[ONE General] Recognized Noob:
Want one

I want this so bad but not one of my relatives lives in the contries mentioned.

It isnt going to hit the indian market soon. prrobably by october or end of year becaoz they have not made it available in market in these contries yet. they havvent even launched in china where they r from or so i heard.

i wish v guys who really want it cud order bulk together. and about customer service, i dont care. i dont think that you could possibly to anything harmful untill u root. and v shud not do that unless it hits market here.

tell me guys if u r getting from foreign. :laugh:
[ONE General] Krusade:
it has been launched in China, man.. ordering bulk will attract major custom duty, remember that
[ONE General] Recognized Noob:
then what option do v have? getting from some relative living in those countries? dont know why india is still back so much. after all indians are the second most majority in xda. that has to mean that we consume a lot of smartphones obviously. so y no release in india too? it would be an instant hit like canvas 2 proved to be.

if anyone gets this phone they should post here how they got it and for what price.
