The CLOVE UK had it for $729gbp. Why did you pay so much? Duties are gonna charge you $150 when it arrives too :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
didint want an F because of possible OEM unlock issues creeping up like on the n8. and there are no import fees on wonda. if there is, they will refund them. this is my second buy from them( so i know). 2 day ship is great too.( ordered it yesterday night getting it tomorrow)

btw;

clove has the note 9 512gb at 1099.00

wonda has it at 959 right now ( the good n950n version too!) acctualy i got it at 929gbp! but prices went up a bit but there was 20 of shipping so all in all i got it at 949gbp

so why would i even think of clove again ??? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
I got an N950F from Clove UK with OEM unlock and I got charged $150 duties with fedex. Wonda refunds duties? That's nuts lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] htc fan89:
That seems too good to be true, never heard of a seller refunding duties. If that’s true dam I gotta buy my note 9 from there also lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
yeah wonda is the best place out there they also have the N the F and DS and the honkong 9600

clive sucks. last year they lost my phone( had to battle with them and customs to get my damn duties refunded because i had paythem when i got the notification from fedex and thought it would speed up the proces... how wrong i was)so thats how i found wonda and have been happy as a clam

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] coremark:
I can vouch for Wonda, first time I ever bought from them last year and got charged like $75 CAD in duties, and I just emailed them and attached the proof and they refunded me in like 2 days. Didn't question anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
what was the shipper?

edit

shipping company i ment.

last year my note 8 came via DHL and never got charged. what province are you in?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] coremark:
That was the one. DHL. I'm from Vancouver
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
humm weird. anyways guess we'll see this time around what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
so got a notification for DHL for import charges of 21.65$ which is chump change.

i payed it with paypal and sent the payment receipt to wonda with a few more screen shot and reference to my order.

i got a refund 10 minutes later in my paypal for 13 gbp... like wow...lol

that was fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
☹️ Another day in "Processing" hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Holy crap. That's amazing. I might try DHL afterall. I am in Ontario though. Would it be any different?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
well as you can see it seems to differ by province and even by year. regardless wonda will refund.

the only thing i dont trust is the DHL guy...lol i continuously check tracking to bolt down back to my place and grab the package.i did release it so they can leave the package but they dont get that i have a portico and sometimes leave it in plain site outside....

If I order the dual sim version, is it possible to flash a TELUS CSC to get VoLTE and WiFi calling?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
so i just got my phone and from what i can see it is flawless. no screen bleeding issues on the side nor bezel gap issues . screen tint is regular now yellow hues or anything.

just as my last korean note, hardware is perfect.( i wonder if korea keeps the good phones for them selves and the rest of the planet get the rejects....lol)

one thing i was not expecting is that it comes with two pens.

a black which is in the device and an extra yellow one.

now i just have to wait for amazon to move their ass so that i can put a screen protector on it and really start using it.

if i find any defects or oddities ill report back. but as they say:

no news is good news!

btw i got the skc carrier. last year it was luc(LG, yeah lg sells samsung phones! i had an lg logo on the box,!)

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

flahing not sure but you could manually copy the csc files. i did that last year before there were user created csc packs floating around. worked fine. this year csc has its own partition but i plan to try when i get my screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Cool thing is Telus' VoLTE will work on non Telus devices so I don't think you'll need to bother with changing the CSC. VoLTE should work. It worked for my Xiaomi mi mix 2 and my oneplus 5 so I don't see how it wouldn't work for a note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Another thumbs up for Wandamobile. They really are that good. Less that 2 days to uk. Refunded import tax. Better prices. Won't go anywhere else.

How about WiFi calling? Is it possible to flash a TELUS CSC to a dual sim version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Well I had an LG 7 thinq a couple months back and WiFi calling worked. I know I didn't get it from Telus but I don't remember if it wasnt from Telus to begin with so I can't say for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
usually samsung phones come with multi csc. so even if telus carrier is not on there you would need to change it to a provider that does have that feature. i know by default phone will switch to a specific csc the minute you put a sim. even if that sim carrier is nowhere to be found in the multi csc list. question is will it switch it to a carrier that has that feature? i don't know.

if you are rooted, there are ways to select a specific carrier. you can most likely also copy over your specific carrier csc files from an other stock firmware into your phone. i am planning to do just that over the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkalltheway:
So is it possible to use stock firmware (telus) on a dual sim phone and keep both radios active? That's where my confusion lies...considering that telus phones are single sim only
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
not sure what the outcome would be but from what i understand,

second sim is just a line. not sure that phones features would also change because you switch to sim two. it might be that sim 1 is master and sim 2 is slave.

but i really dont know. your goal should be getting to run slot 1 with telus before attempting to put two sims into the mix. if you only use 1 sim anyways then your phone would act as if it were a regular single sim if slot 2 is empty.

unrelated:

(btw dual sim and single have the exact same firmware files.a lot of people try to flash back to stock and think they will brick their phone because they only can find the regular model files)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] star12133:
Will wonda region unlock their phone like Clove does?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkalltheway:
Wow, this is helpful information before I bite the bullet! Finally, is it possible to flash a telus CSC / firmware on a dual sim phone without root? I am thinking of ordering the 960 f/ds...as long as I can flash without root, then I think I'll be golden. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Ah yes that's the only hassle. I don't think Samsung would honour warranty so you'd have to send back to Wanda, but the customer service really is good. Yes getting the n9600 which is fully compatible with UK, confirmed by them also

Their phones are unlocked yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Ok if it doesn't go through with Samsung today I'll phone them later an may cancel and do it that way

Sent from my ONEPLUS 5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
flashing right now implies you take the stock ODM.md5/tar file from a stock firmware. as you know these firmware come in one big zip file which after you uncompress result in multiple files that you flash with Odin.

thing is this year, csc is actually on a separate partition . and i think Odin does a check against phone and file to verify model compatibility.

lets say for arguments sake that it doesn't for this Odm file containing the csc. not sure what impact it will have in the phone.

since i will be rooting, i will simply manually copy over the system files... much safer

not sure i am ready to test flashing over different model firmware files with odin quite just yet. specially when they changed the way the files are on the phone.

there is a csc post on the note9 forums which may help. it is unclear what the OP is trying to say in it...lol. but people might report there if flashing different model firmwares is possible( ie: flash a n960u csc on a n950f/ds. if you flash within the same model but just different carrier then if course you can do it all day long.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

samsung only honors warranty of a phone bought in the region where you live.

If you bought a UK phone and you live in the UK you will get wanrranty. but if you live in the USA and you bought a UK model then no warranty. the simple reason is your address. last year i ordered from samsung uk directly, after a week payment was declined and order cancelled. i then got an email stating that my address was outside the UK so they could not completed the sale. and they asked that i buy from samsung from my region/country.

the obvious reason is that if i need to send it in for repair or if i need support, that model is not available in my country and is a bit different than the one being sold where i live. so they cant support me and manufacturers are required by law to support their products. but you have to buy them from the proper regions it would seem.

sellers like wonda and clove might offer a 30 day warranty but more than that i would be surprised.

Received my UPS shipping notification last night for the Gear IconX Wireless earbuds. Should be arriving today. I'm very surprised that they're shipping so quickly.

When I preordered with Bell, I got an email from them that had a link to the preorder promo page. I filled out the information there. Then when I picked up my phone I went to the promo page via Samsung's website and uploaded my preorder receipt and phone receipt on another different form.

What I think happened was that the 2nd form wasn't required for me to complete to get my promo. I think the first form was good enough. Now I still have a pending promo offer on my account that will likely be cancelled at some point once Samsung realizes that I already received my headphones.

Just got notice that my headphones were delivered!

A+ for speedy delivery but C- for making things super confusing.

Tracking says Friday. But I wouldn't be surprised if it came Thursday as Hong Kong is 7hrs ahead so it'll be traveling back in time to get to me lol that's how I like to think

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Unbelievably fast. Like I said, I don't see why it can't be delivered today, Thursday. One day delivery from Wandamobile Hong Kong.

£4.19 import tax which they've refunded already. Great company. I'm sure if anything is wrong they'll be easy to deal with. With great reputation like this you won't want to ruin it

Edit: next day delivery from Hong Kong to uk. Bravo Wandamobile and DHL! I can't even rely on my domestic delivery companies to do this!

Wondamoile is charging $769gbp witch equals to around $1300cad. Never-MSRP on ebay is charging $941 but comes with duties because it's from USA. In total I paid with duties $1260. I guess it's almost the same.
