Cool....maybe ordering just the phone makes your package less of a target in general. Hard to say. I don't think anything they are doing was happening at customs just a year ago though...pretty sure all these hassles for chinese packages are new.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] eNiNjA83:
Got mine from splendor as well and had a minor hold up for that same reason (calling the stylus a pen) but FedEx called me and asked if there was Ink in the pen. After I verified that it was only a stylus, they gave me no problems. Absolutely the best phone ever made for media lovers! Loudest sound from speakers and headphones I've ever and I mean ever heard ???

Just got mine cleared from customs after the mix up. Customs saw 7450 and took it as USD not HKD which would have required more paperwork and fees since it exceeds the $2500.01 limit.

Shows it will get delivered tomorrow now. Hopefully being a new toy it'll meet my expectations more than my current Note 8

Mine has been delivered. Wife took a look at it...won't be home until friday though. Looks awesomely massive.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] VariableSpark:
Mine was just delivered (no extra invoice for taxes or fees so far). Looks like my FedEx driver was able to dodge the MAGA Trade War Assassins and make it safely to my door. Phew!

Phone looks like a beast though, can't wait to play with it.

Got my Mate 20 X EVR-L29 and M-pen delivered via DHL to the UK from Wonda Mobile. Ordered it on Saturday evening 3rd Nov and it would have arrived on Friday 9th if the stupid DHL delivery driver hadn't gone to the wrong address. No taxes to pay.

It's a real toss up.. I've had Sammy phones for a while
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mac231us:
Why does Wonda claim price includes VAT but charges it anyway for non-EU (like USA)?

I asked them about this practice-that they claim their prices included VAT and tax. When I said that I am in the U.S and should not be charged the VAT, they said they would not exclude it (i.e. would include it) I have bought from overseas from both Europe and Asia and never get charged VAT. So basically it is just some price padded on.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Moandal:
Sorry, can't help you there. I gave the pen to my wife to give me back as a Christmas present.

Canadian Ordering Cancelled

I received an email from Wonda this morning saying they are cancelling future orders from Canada. They ship to Canada using Singapore SpeedPost and with Canada Post on strike my phone and others have been sitting for weeks unprocessed at the Vancouver postal sorting station where all mail from the Asia-pacific region arrives. I have ordered another phone from funkyhuawei but I will not be able to get a refund from Wonda until the strike is over and the mail backlog cleared up.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mouzam:
Did you use free delivery or paid delivery ( smooth delivery )?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Thechileman:
Smooth delivery. Had a day in customs but wonda met all the additional charges (assuming there we're some). DHL did the delivery which was easy to track.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mouzam:
I have been searching the net for few days to get a better deal for the global variant. I have come to the conclusion that wonda is the one to buy from because they include other charges as well with the price. Some websites are selling cheaper than wonda but they don't wanna know nothing about additional charges by customs. I will buy from wonda as well now. Thanks

I just got mine today, and havent played with it much but so far I like it. Now I am trying to find a Leather case with a swivel belt clip.

I also must change my view on Splendor, Believe it or not, we worked together with FedEx and Splendor got it cleared from customs. And they got back to me as soon as they got in to let me know (Even though I saw it 6 hours prior it cleared), So a little aggrevation, but I didnt have to give and personal info and it cleared, have to give a thumbs up to Splendor.

I used a EE data sim, as soon as it was recognised I got the 5mb update notification. My build number now shows patch02. Checked DRM Info and it’s now back to L1.

I have patch 2, mentioned in here a couple of times and told you to check yesterday after I got the update. Because of this I I have L1.

The diff is I'm not using the modded apk and you are.

Whichever apk is used, neither of us seem to be able to get 1080p Netflix.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Reb0rn:
All those modded only show the hdr or 4k icon but caps at about 480p.

The only one plying 720p is the officiall Netflix app in playstore.

I'm looking to buy a global version of this phone shipped to Canada.

Which is the best vendor option?

So far, I am thinking of buying from Splendor, as they have the most cheapest/reasonable price from what I can see ($868USD), and they ship via FedEX, so the Canada Post strike won't affect delivery.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
This leads me to believe its carrier sim related. based on who your carrier is whether it will show up on that call setting screen, US wont get anything as none of these phones are meant to be here.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Moandal:
Here's my screenshot.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
This is confirming my thought, Sim carrier based on which features are enabled.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] T i h o r:
+1 for Splendor. Tell him you're a friend of Rohit Chauhan's and he'll take good care of you!

PS. They also have one of the best prices on the M-Pen, so I recommend ordering it at the same time.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] beef_lover:
Thanks for the input!

Just curious, did you have to pay duties/customs? How long was the delivery time?

I'll be having it shipped to Montreal, so I guess it should be around the same transit time.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] T i h o r:
I order it Sunday night after dinner, and it arrived Tuesday before lunch. 4 meals from Hong Kong to Canada is damn impressive if you ask me! lol

I did get hit with some duties, but I knew I was taking a chance, as some others hadn't. Came to under $150CAD and I paid prior to delivery so there weren't any further delays/hiccups.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] beef_lover:
2 days from HK - that's pretty fast!

$150 fees.. ouch. I guess they declared the full amount for the value of the phone when they shipped it?

When I bought my Mi Max 3 a while ago from aliexpress, the seller marked a value of $55 lol. Still got dinged with ~$30 in fees :/
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
Funkyhuawei didn't designate FedEx as their authorized broker for Canada Customs so my phone got held up for a couple of days while FedEx tried to communicate with them. I then decided to expedite matters by authorizing FedEx as Customs Broker (which cost me $35 as 'importer' - since this wasn't done by the 'exporter'). Then Canada Customs wouldn't accept the "Gift - Used Phone - Value $1.18" funkyhuawei put on their customs declaration and I had to provide my purchase receipt by sending FedEx a copy of my PayPal receipt, when then resulted in Canada Customs charging $194.55 duties and taxes. If you order from funkyhuawei make sure you ask them to (1) authorize FedEx as their Customs Broker, (2) declare a reasonable value for the phone - gifts valued at $60 are tax exempt in Canada and their will be corresponding limits in other countries.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

meanwhile Canada Post has no record of receiving my phone from Wonda which was dispatched by Singapore Post on November 5th. Canada Post is on strike, so it may be along time before they clear up the backlog of unprocessed parcels arriving from Hong Kong.
