I bought from Tomtop (France) and delivered in 3 working days to the UK. Paid £221.99 with no custom taxes/duties. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311460148602?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

The phone has received many OTA updates and now is a lot more stable & has gone super speed. There is one tiny bug with the App Drawer. If scrolling realy fast sometimes it's stuck with the large letters A-Z and does not shrink back to regular size until you scroll again.

In the States you can get many decent smartphones at relatively low prices but in Europe prices tend to be a lot higher. This is probably one of the exceptions. I'm delighted to pay only £222 for such a great smartphone.

I ordered at zuk-store.com (because of the two years warranty and european service center)

It was a mistake. They hadn't the grey version in stock, but I bought it anyway (22nd of october) - the devices are announced to arrive at their store on the 30th of october, but no word got out if they have been distributed to the customers.

I should have bought them elsewhere :(

(I have to add, I'm really not patient when it comes to buying eletronic stuff... :D)

amazon.it

i bought mine on amazon..

for 299€ i received a gray z1 at home in two days ;)

at the moment i am really highly satisfied.. first of all for the battery !!!

great phone.
[Zuk Z1 General] khurrraam:
Robpollard, I am beginning to think that I made a mistake too. I've ordered via zuk-store.com for the very same reason as you (warranty and european service centre). I ordered on the 26th but at that time, it showed that the stock will come on the 28th but then date changed to 30th next day.

They haven't replied to any of my messages as of yet about when will it get dispatched. Clearly you've been waiting longer than me, and what made matters worse for me is that fact that TomTop on eBay is happy to ship me the phone from its Madrid warehouse to my address in Estonia for €290 delivered.

I am hoping to hear from zuk-store tomorrow. But surely if the stock was to be replenished on Friday, 30th. They should have sent the delivered out the same day, or probably it will be tomorrow, Monday 2nd of November which is annoying because we would be waiting 3-5 days on top of it.

Could you please keep me posted with the progress of your order and I'll do vice versa?
[Zuk Z1 General] Robpollard:
Shall do. Let's hope they'll deliver soon ?
[Zuk Z1 General] Kenji242:
Ebay Germany 265€ :)
[Zuk Z1 General] jawrob11:
Could You past/send the link?
[Zuk Z1 General] Robpollard:
6.11 now for the grey version on zuk-store.com. Will ask for a refund.
[Zuk Z1 General] khurrraam:
I noticed it this morning too. I am torn here now, where are you thinking ordering from? And where is it that you're getting it delivered?

This is the lowest price I've been able to find, TomTop is one of the official sellers but what happens to warranty related matters?

http:/_/goo.gl/CVUe7c (just fix the url by removing underscore).

p.s. Amazon UK has them for £229.

ZUK says that they will be updating the service centre details later. Does that reassure us that at least for any warranty related matters we won't have to ship the device back to HK or China Mainland given that's how most China based resellers would try to honour warranty?

But then again, if you buy it from ZUK-Store then if ZUK will have service centre in EU that it should mean that we should be able to get them serviced as long as they were purchased from an authorised reseller.

Or am I just being too pedantic, and I shouldn't have high hopes for a budget priced phone? And consider it a pretty much without warranty?
[Zuk Z1 General] Robpollard:
I was on the fence too, but decided to demand a refund (which they will grant, their chat-support works rather well). I think I'll wait one or two days and either re-order again or order it elsewhere. Too bad, I'd love to have it in my hands by now.
[Zuk Z1 General] Kenji242:
I can send a link to you unfortunately. The user "ahappydeal" has offered the mobile phone 300 € with price proposal. He immediately accepted my price proposal of 265 €. You can search times. If you do not find him meld again! :o
[Zuk Z1 General] cojona2015:
Hello,

Whose are interesested in the Zuk, I have a code discount from gearbest_com with a final price of 256,65€

Contact me through MP.

I'm new in the forum and I cannt put links.
[Zuk Z1 General] khurrraam:
I just sent you a PM. If your discount works and is from the reputable seller then I'll cancel my order from zuk-store and get it ordered so that I can hopefully have the phone this week. :D

Thanks again for offering!
[Zuk Z1 General] MogoPips:
I'm looking into buying a Z1, but most of the "official" retailers listed on ZUK's homepage look really shady.

And a lot of them received horrible reviews from disappointed and possibly scammed customers.

For instance the reviews about the coolicool store online, as well as the bad experiences the users on this forum made with zuk-store.com and zukmobile.cc

I'm really not sure if I should trust a company that has such poor judgement in terms of its official retailers.
[Zuk Z1 General] khurrraam:
Zuk-Store.com seem to be good folks! I spoke to them over the phone today. The chap sounded genuine and offered to ship the 'white version' as they had them in stock. I politely declined as I'm after the black version. Their phone number is available on their website, and if you look up their FB page, you'll see that they have refunded people in the past when requested. On their FB page, you can also see the picture of their manager with the CEO of ZUK and Cyanogen rep at the Germany launch event this Friday.

But his explanation was that they ordered stock from ZUK, who have caused the delays. He said that they were finding it frustrating as their reputation is on the line now (for a side project for their business, the company actually operates in Belgium as SHS computer.), if you google them you'll find all their details.

They also accepted my VAT number (after verifying it and invoicing me without VAT) so that I can declare the VAT exemption as my yearly business purchase. I don't actually think that Zuk-online are bad people to deal with but from their end, they are going by the delivery dates being provided to them.

I hope this helps! But the only reason why I want to cancel the order is because I'm impatient and what if there are more delays. The chap above me, if he can give me the discount code for a retailer who ships within EU from EU. I'm sold!

Edit:

Zuk-Store are just annoyingly incompetent whatever explanation they may offer. They should have set customer expectations appropriately. They told me today 9th of November that they still can't fulfil my order that I placed on the 26th of October, and need 10 more days to deliver it. What a bloody joke. They've had my money all this time! And now, they simply say sorry and we will refund you. That's it? What about the time you've wasted and the fact that I lost out on the sale pricing and now I have to pay full price from another place ?!?! Do yourself a favour. Don't bother with them.
[Zuk Z1 General] MUG3NHC:
Get it from shop gizchina. 2y warranty, shipped from EU.

I got mine from there. Fully satisfied.
[Zuk Z1 General] khurrraam:
Thanks for the suggestion though. :good:

GizChina is selling it for €328 delivered (£235). I would be better off buying it from Amazon at £229, not that it is much of a difference but I'd rather go with Amazon UK any day!
[Zuk Z1 General] k_akos:
Got mine from shop.gizchina.com. It was sent from Italy and arrived the next day. Ordered last Friday afternoon, got it this Tuesday. No issues at all. Super happy :)
[Zuk Z1 General] grycu:

[Zuk Z1 General] Waldfalter:
Hi,

I am currently living in Berlin and I ordered my ZUK Z1 on eBay France. It took 4 days to arrive. The build quality is outstanding. I am in love with that display. My phones before have been the Nexus 4 & 5 and the Oneplus One. Performance is great, even though it has nearly the same specs as the Oneplus One. I ordered the grey Phone for 300 €. I didn't run into bugs or any issues so far and can definitely recommended the buy.

Greetings
[Zuk Z1 General] salfai:
I called them today (i am french). They told me they'll receive stock on 12/11 (thusday).

I don't want to order it on Ebay for the warranty :crying:

Do you know any alternative to zuk-store.com? The price suddenly went up to 340€...

I'm currently on budget of 300€ (and no, I don't want to spend more)

gizchina and honorbuy shops get up to almost same price with express shipping

does anyone have any amazon/ebay trusty seller that ships to Croatia?

Tomtop on eBay 290 took 4 days, great seller .
[Zuk Z1 General] YoolaCro:
Oh I just ordered from geekbuying! They have crazy sale until 11/11. Guys go check out and grab your ZUK cheap. I paid about 2000HRK which is approx 290$... I'll have to pay VAT most likely but just around 25$ later because I'm ordering this one from China...It's gonna take 15-30 days to get here but I'm fine with that.
[Zuk Z1 General] YoolaCro:
I'm going to try to cancel the order if possible and get it from TomTop.... Only because I don't want to wait that long for new phone to arrive

[Zuk Z1 General] Franco Banco:

[Zuk Z1 General] Goonerman:
The Zuk Z2 should be available early next year and I whilst I will continue to watch this thread with interest, I think I will wait for it to come out.:)
[Zuk Z1 General] YoolaCro:
I don't think this will be that soon in 2016... It's just confirmed there will be ZUK Z2, but not when...
[Zuk Z1 General] Goonerman:
From what I have read, it is expected to be available around March 2016, so may possibly be available internationally from say June/July 2016. It is likely to cost more than the Z1 but I'm happy to wait for it.

How to get it in India
[Zuk Z1 General] Robpollard:
You're missing a question mark, but I'm going to assume you're asking where to get it in India?

If that's the case, here's the link to all off the official resellers, one of them will surely send a ZUK to your home:

hi guys, after doing a lottttttttt of research and watching many videos in youtube, I finally decided to buy Lenovo Zuk Z1 for myself.

I ordered from Geekbuying.com for 289.99 USD .. Use the coupon code ZUKZ1 during checkout to get that price.

And I hope it reaches early to India.:)
[Zuk Z1 General] Msonata:
Hi!

I'm planning on buying a Z1 since it seems to be one of the best bang-for-the-buck phones right now.

The only thing I'm worried about is the warranty. Many Asian OEMs don't have a good track record when it comes to customer support (taking ages to respond to messages, refusing to honor the warranty, offering only partial refunds for DOA devices, you have to pay for the shipping if you want your device repaired etc.).

I would like to hear about your experiences with Lenovo/ZUK/retailers.

(BTW, I live in Europe and will most likely buy the phone from Amazon UK.)

[Zuk Z1 General] Robpollard:
Again: Delay at zuk-store.com. Obviously the phone manufacturer is behaving incredibly dumb trying to deliver the phones, thus the shipment will arrive at the end of the week, at the earliest.

Since I'm from switzerland, all the other EU-shopping possibilities are no option for me, since after taxes it'll be easily 400 euros or more :(

Bought from Amazon UK. Grey model. Sold by Z U K and fulfilled by Amazon. Quick delivery, but has a slight hardware issue: the left hardware button LED is much brighter then the one on the right.

I opened a thread on it.

To be honest I might just live with it, as everything else is perfect.

Only had one OTA so far, to patch to 12.1-YOG4PAS3OH.

Also came with additional UK USB charger and a phone stand.

[Zuk Z1 General] ranka79:
Yes 4G compatible and its international version, cyanogenOS 12
[Zuk Z1 General] shibliaftab:
when I checked on

http://www.willmyphonework.net/

It shows in data that zuk international version doesn't support 4G In india. Chinese version do support 4G In india but still not sure about 3g compatibility on some network. I think that device listed on eBay.in is Chinese version unlocked and flashed with COS.
[Zuk Z1 General] ranka79:
Doesn't matter, only difference between China and international version is os. I think in both versions 4G Indian bands should work. Checked on 91mobiles.[emoji4]

Bought mine on zuk-store.com - ordered on Monday 30/11 before noon, arrived today 3/12 ... that's three days for shipping from Belgium to... Belgium (mainly our national courier bpost's fault)! :p

The store is certainly not a scam, as claimed in this and another topic (http://xdaforums.com/zuk-z1/general/zuk-official-store-europe-t3216780) but I guess they started off a bit too enthousiastic, without having a large stock :confused: ... a post on their Facebook page explained that on 25/11 all items were on stock in large quantities, and this was confirmed by a certain Jean-Marc in the chat box on their website.

Not the cheapest store (346.80€, shipping included), but the store has some advantages for Europeans:

- 2 years warranty

- staff is trained on repairing the phone / replacement parts on stock in Belgium... well, that's what they told me in the chat box

- faster repairs, because no shipping to Asia and back

- responsiveness of staff (phone, email, chat box, Facebook page)

- faster delivery compared to Asian webshops

- no surprises when it comes to import duty & taxes

And now, let's get started with the ZUK Z1 :)
