It's not up for sale yet. But you can use an international credit card to pay for it. To get it shipped, you'll have to get someone to ship it to you.

friends, relatives, etc. those are your best bet. third party stores are gonna charge you extra on both device and shipping.

US Proxy will do the job
I'm looking for a sure fire way i will get during release.. Google has been VERY stringent with checks..
If the card address is not from the us. There are occasions the order will bounce..
But thanks for the suggestions!

Or you could always wait for "water" products (imported) from the small stores. I was in Hong Kong this summer, the Nexus 7 2013 only took like 1 week from when it was on sale at the US play store. The typical price was around $2200 HKD for the 16 GB version, about a $400 HKD premuim. It'll probably cost that much paying double shipping by using comgateway.com or other mail forwarding service.
It will not cost sgd80 for forwarder...

im also from hk.. i think you should wait until it comes to hk.. the nexus 4 came in december costed 4k hkd which is good enough...
I live in Singapore where anything is subjected to a hike of around 30%-50%. The nexus 4 is sold here at sgd600+ at large retail stores... gpu can cost SGD 300 more

Actually, for Hong Kong users, it might be a really bad idea to buy from the US play store if any of you are planning to use it for 4G services. According to the LTE band thread, the UK version is a much better choice, mainly in that the US (D820) version of the phone will NOT work with 4G services in Hong Kong. Wikipedia says that the Hong Kong networks use bands 3,7, 40, the US version do not support any of these frequency bands, whereas the UK (D821) version supports bands 3 and 7.

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!
Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.
Anyone know which stores in China sells OnePlus 64GB China version? Mine friends are in China now and he said the employers said that OnePlus can only ordered from the net?
Aliexpress will tell you the answer... The stores over the might be organized and have some retail point.

Crap, there goes mine plans for cheap 1+1. :crying:
Guess wait until international version is ready to order without stupid invites.
Hi,
I'm going to be in China from now and until October and I really want to buy a 1+1, but don't have an invitation.
My question is where I can find this phone on the streets and how much will it cost there?
(I'll be at Shantou, Hong Kong, Guilin, Chengdu and Beijing).
Tnx for the help!
Couldn't you just buy the Chinese OPO online and have it shipped to where you are staying? Since they will ship from China, it won't take too long for it to arrive where you're staying?
He could save on shipping, tax and customs if he's already going to China

If you're already in China I don't think you have to pay for customs? I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with China. I would assume a Chinese phone shop could have them in stock or various carrier mobile stores.

I'm in Beijing and if you go to a store like Gomez they will have it there. Don't remember the price but I remember it being pretty close to what the cost for it was online.
Thanks for the comments!
When you say pretty close to the prices we see online, you mean online Oneplus store or sites like DX, eBay..?

Hi has anyone purchased a mate 7
32gb MT7-TL10 from a seller called sanho2013 ?
I purchased from them and there taking ages to deliver my phone.
He said 4-5 days delivery which states from UK but his account location is hongkong. Either way I wasn't bothered aslong as I get my device. Well I purchased last week on Monday and thursday 27th he sent me royal mail tracking. I've tracked it since Thursday and also rang royal mail as it just says tracking will update when we receive the item. Royal mail said they waiting for the item N that we have the job information like my address but the seller still.hasn't give it to them.
I contacted the seller many times he just said royal mail has got it on 26th which is wrong with estimated delivery 31st-2nd which is different to his original delivery date the 30th. But my argument is royal mail.don't even have it yet so he.is ovsly talking crap to me.
I was just woundering if anyone has experienced this ebay seller before. I did reasearch on his account before I purchased and he had a few thousand positive feedback.
I just don't understand how a £389 device hasn't been delivered to.me after a week and half.

If you order oversea it will take at least 10 days maybe two weeks.
^ seller is shipping from abroad (HongKong) & RoyalMail not got it yet.
The tracking updated last night it is out for delivery. Wish sellers was mote truthfull. It's a lot of money to part with. The sale stated no tax sent from UK.

Perhaps he uses triangle shipping from HK to UK then to you.
If so then you wont have taxes to pay, the phone may not be international version though??

And yes he must use something like that. I dont mind where its from as long as it works on my ee in UK and delivery is correct not 3 days late when they say royal mail has it when they dont
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA Free mobile app
Yes exactly what he does, hongkong to third party in UK as gift or low value so no tax, then on to you.
Finally received my mate 7. What a beast it even had UK charger inside so I'm guessing its the phone is for the UK as was manufacture sealed. Only problem I found was a little dent in the top left hand corner of the bezel. Not too happy about it but not a lot I can do but will contact the seller.

I had the same situation. From a different seller tho. Chinese people have the same tactics.
Try and cancel it, ill tell you where you can get gold mate 7 in a sealed box with eu lte bands with next day delivery for £360
Edit: just read all the comments. I guess im a little bit too late

Haha yeah little late. They ovsly making some money dodging taxs.
£360 is a good price tho I could only find 1 for 389 apart from a dodgy looking site for the 32GB version. So happy with this phone it's awesome. Definitely be looking into buying more Huawei phones in the future. Wasn't sure what I would receive from the seller but it's all UK as has UK charger inside so very happy. Just wish I didn't get a bit of a dent in the top bezel even.tho it's not very noticeable once I no it's there it eyes always sees it. Hoping for the seller to give me a partial refund as it would cost him a lot to return a doa device and then send another 1 out.

What is the model number & firmware version ?
In asia we are experts at opening & resealing boxes, most phones centres where I live have wrapping & sealing machine so you need check things real well.
The gold 32gb dual sim is £300 here & even cheaper than that in China/Kowloon
Do you guys actually have uk warranty ! I have warranty centre in my city near me, almost £400 is a lot of money for no rear retail seller support or reliable warranty.

@techfan1997 I've been using the MT7-L09 model for several months now. It works perfect with LTE on both AT&T's network and T-Mobile's network. It even works well with T-Mobile's AWS 1700 MHz band for its backhaul HSPA+ 4G service. This phone is 100% compliant with US GSM-LTE providers.
