yes you can order from aliexpress, but if from rakuten, and seller from europe, you will not pay extra money for customs or taxes, and very often you can find cupons on rakuten , for example when i order it was 30eur offer for over 300eur shopping.

and if you buy on rakuten you will get points ( if you register as member ), i got 1700points what is 17eur, and after you can buy some other things in value of 17eur on rakuten ( for free, you pay with that points ).

just writing this , not to push you to buy.

Update on MiGlobalStore purchase:

So apparently many peoplr have commented on the store news pages, and they are complaining about how they purchased phones and the seller never respond to message nor ship thier phones. This started near end of June, till now.

Dont know what happened to this store but I am cancelling the order.

According to Aliexpress customer service, only the seller can accept the cancellation, which means if the seller does not respond, my money will be held by aliexpress for 40 days. That is just great. And thats probably what will end up happening, since the MiGlobalStore doesnt seem to care about no sh*t at all LOL

I didnt want to wait so i put in an order drom gearbest, and they shipped it (DHL shipping number provided, at least) right away. Will see how that goes.

For now, my gut feeling is: stay the hell away from MiGlobalStore, no matter if you get what you bought in the end, the overall experience is not gonna be smooth for ya.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
You mind posting a link of the store pages?

I'm actually rather interested in the story. But I guarantee you that whatever you order will arrive at your doorstep, some people were waiting for a month. But something like that can be delayed in some many different ways. There is just no possible way that they gonna sell 1k phones and not ship them, that's something even AliX would not let happen.

I suppose they just have a bunch of workers shipping what ever crap they need to all day and all night. And have a "dedicated" chat team just on paper to please the minimum requirements to open a online shop on Alix.

But yeah, all in all who doesn't like that should definitely look elsewhere.

Mi Global Store

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bQQcRHbi

Go to the "Feed" tab and open the comments under their (many) posts.

I mean, the price i paid on gearbest is 10 dollars less than this store for the same product, so, with this kinda customer service, to me it is very obvious which to choose lol
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
I just spoke to someone on gear-best regarding import duties and taxes. And sadly they do not resolve it up front, so basically what they told me is...check with your state for import duties, so gearbest goes off the list as well.

Don't know what they told/promised you, if at all.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
Duty is random here, there is a chance that you dont pay at all lol

I bought mine from Ebay and had it 3 days later. Seller shipped it very quickly.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
Well that's a story in and of it self. IF you order from alix using the standard shipping method and kindly ask the seller to label the parcel as a 20€ gift,pc parts of whatever else...the customs can ignore all open it and see whats inside, well obviously they are not that dumb.

The second option is to use DHL shipping method, as some alix sellers then send the parcel from hongkong to the UK - in the UK the package gets repackaged and then send via DHL to the destination address, and thats how the end consumer avoids any kind of import fees whatsoever, but.-..there is always a but, it seems that a lot of the alix famous real seller are stopping that kind of shipping method because of all the brexit nonsense whats going on in the EU. So there's that...

Somewhere in the EU or outside? could you provide a link for us peasents :)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Scarface1991:
I bought it from this seller. He seems to have his Stock stationed in Germany so I was able to get it in just a couple of days.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.de/ulk/itm/401777470931
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
Thanks, but sadly does not ship to CRO only a few countries surrounding Germany.,..the search continues...

EDIT:

- As I somehow found out. It seems that all the delays with shipping regarding all the resellers at Alix are due to things:

a) Huge wave or pre sales orders as well as the alix summer sale a few weeks ago. That's just thousand upon thousands of orders on a daily basis.

b) And this is the bummer, all the people who got their MI 9t in a meaningful time are the ones who ordered the phone in black and/or blue (See comments) - everybody else, has either ordered the RED variant which is btw out of stock on every reseller known on alix. They did not even update their stock numbers correctly.

future updates will follow.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
I do hope that is why they are not responding. Although that is still just bad customer service but at least its kinda confotting that we know on a good chance they are not scammer. LOL

I just hope they eventually start looking at custormers messages and cancel/refund my order, as my gearbest order has already been shipped out last friday.

I dont wanna be the same as some othet customers (based on the comments in that stores post) whose money were just held by aliexpress for 40 days because the MiGlobalStore does not respond to cancellation.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
No, no...they are for sure not scammers, far from that.

Quick update, 2 out of 3 resellers responded to may questions after 2 days, so there we go. Patience and time is needed.

But as I said before, don't take their costumer services for granted like if you buy locally. There is none when something goes wrong after a few months :)

To my knowledge tradingshenzen has the best customer support of all those chinese resellers, 2 mails and the response was the same day, twice. But sadly their are out of stock for now. They even gonna check when the re stock will be and let me know later.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] 0vlade0:
don't worry it will ship. We might have bought from the same seller. I think it was mi store global.

They don't answer messages. i ordered on june 26th and it shippsed july 5th. estimated arrival the 15th.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
I already requested cancellation LOL although Aliexpress is still holding my money, i have already put in order on GearBest anf its been shipped
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
Yes they are holding your money for the time being. But remember that alix has the 60 days protection policy. SO the worst case for you would be to just wait for 60 days until your refund gets accepted.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
Update:

So MiGlobalStore responded my messages and agrred to cancel my order, after over a week. Its good that they wont freeze my cash for 40 days lol only 3 - 5 more days lol

On the other hand, i put in order last friday at GearBest for the same 128gb blue for 10 dollars less, they said its shipped with DHL but the packaged did not get picked up until today (Monday) i guess nobodys working during weekends. DHL updated and is showing that the est. delivery is this Thursday, which is 3 days. Will wait and see. Its shipping to Toronto btw.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
Did they by any chance told why there was a delay and stuff?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
None what so ever.

Below is their message:

"

Hi, friend:

Good day!

Sorry for our late reply!

We agreed the order cancellation.

You will get the refund in 3-15 working days.

It depends on your bank's processing time.

You are welcome to place order in our store again.

Best Regards,

Denny

"

And i guess it can potentially take 15 days for my cash to return lol darn..i didn't see that....nightmare is not over yet lol
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Pejpi:
Update number: 457cv...

I spend the last two days contacting every single Chinese retailer and ask them the same question.

1. IS this item with thew code XXXXXX currently in stock? because i can order it but i read people are not getting their shipments in time. (geekbuying, banggood, honorbuy - alixpress like Goldway, mi global, mi online etc..)

Most of them came back with the same answer - "in stock next week" - at least the 128gb blue version global

So there we go, they are selling the phones even when they don't have it physically in stock. So you buy it, they way for a restock, once there then the whole drama starts. But at the end it does arrive but for some just to late.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
Final update on my mi 9t 128gb blue purchase:

After bought from gearbest, the order soon is marked shipped but actually only shipping label created. The parcel didnt actually get picked up by DHL as it was a Friday evening.

And then DHL picked up on the next Monday. Since then, it took DHL less than 48 hours to get the phone from Hongkong to Toronto!

See the attached package tracking.

Gearbest has done a cool thing by declaring the phone in the parcel as "Multimedia device - $100USD", which i guess is the common among sellers in that area of China lol

On thing to note, the identical order with same DHL express shipping costs 10 USD less tham MiGlobalStore.

Meanwhile, the cancellation/refund from MiGlobalStore, which i requested 3 days before the Gearbest order is still not back to my credit card lol

In conclusion, based on the information i have so far, i, PERSONALLY, again personally, will never consider buying from MiGlobalStore again. I think that the store is simply bad.

Ordered mine from gearbest. Waiting for about three weeks now, as they shipped a week after ordering.

Won't order any phone from GB again, as the phone is sold on eBay from retailers with 2-3 days estimated shipping time for the same price now.

I do know that ordering from china while living in europe always takes some time, but this is the longest time I ever had to wait at GB, and it's not even prospective to be delivered within the next few days...
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] unicycler:
As already mentioned, I do know this. It's not the first order I did on GB. But compared to other retailers that do send from local warehouses "out of the containers" it's not worth it anymore.

And in addition to this GB needed one week to dispatch.

The smartphone case and tempered glass I ordered at the same time at GB has already arrived a week ago. Also without taxes.

Bought Black 128gb from MiGlobalStore on AliExpress. Ordered on July 10th. Expected delivery today (Toronto), July 19th. No complaints with shopping experience, tracking number worked fine, no duties.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] the steve:
I also bought my mi 9t on AliExpress, directliy from Mi Global Store. At first they said it was shipped in 10 days, later it changed to 15 days but actually it took a month before the phone was even shipped. I tried to contact the seller a few times but I never got any answer. I live in Germany and when they finally shipped it, they send it with UPS from China over Dubai over Germany to UK. In the UK it was handed over to DHL and sent back to Germany. This was quite ridiculous to send it from Germny to England and then back to Germany. The whole shipping process took about a week and even visiting Germany twice I did not have to pay additional taxes. Maybe it was included in the shipping costs of 27€.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] ydd0ras:
My davinci arrived finally on last Saturday. Exactly 20 days after purchasing on Gearbest. The phone was packed properly, no duties or taxes paid (to Germany with EU Priority Line). The phone was delivered was DHL. The Mi 9T is great, really an amazing device. The sound has been improved over the older devices (Poco F1, Mi A1 or RN4x). The camera no matter if used by the stock camera app or the latest gcam mode from San1ty is fantastic. The in-display FP works also excellent. My device is already unlocked and I am using Xiaomi.eu + microG + Viper + Edexposed ans other mods.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] ydd0ras:
It is really hard to compare both, because they're so different. On Mi 9T aka K20 you have 3 cams with better sensors. Both, the stock camera and a gcam mod working flawlessly. The performance (not tested for gaming) is the same or slightly better than on Poco F1. The device is a little bigger than Redmi Note 4, and a little heavier. The finish is outstanding good and it feels awesome in the hand.

Battery is fantastic and yes, better than RN4x. But I can compare that properly, because my Mido is old and also the battery. Honestly you can compare the Mi 9T with Pocophone or Mi 9SE, but not with a RN4x. Even the mido is a great device.

Hi there guys,

Good question got my phone updated to the latest pie firmware 9.0 G955USQU5DSC1 and now having issues registering on network. I'm on page plus and not using verizon. Once updated to 9.0 I had my Page Plus sim installed and picked up full bar reception was able to make calls and listen to my voicemail but annoying pop up kept poping up every 2 seconds or so that new sim was installed and I should restart my phone. Right after restart I'm having trouble with reception I tried everything adding apn, rebooting, reflashing, factory reset, nothing would help. I thought verizon phones are all factory unlocked.. kinda sucks to face it now with this pie update cuz page plus worked just fine on stock firmware 7.0. The phone is 3 years old .. fully paid off from vzw. Why I'm getting this ? Once i insert verizon sim everything is working... :rolleyes:
