    I'm interested in buying the Nexus 6P 64GB. It's much cheaper from the UK store. Has anyone tried it? Did you use a VPN?

    I don't think so, as they default to using the country of the billing address of the payment card (but I could be corrected on that)

    [edit]Google say no:

    Note: To buy a device from the Google Store, your shipping address must be in the same country as your credit card billing address.

    You could try Revolut card to buy? As its international currency?

    I did this before for the Nexus 10.

    I used a card that wasn't used with any Google stuff before.

    Go onto a desktop or laptop and install tunnel bear with a UK IP address.
    Then go to Google and create a new account which will be tied to the UK.
    Then go to Google Wallet and add the card.
    I put my usual address except the last line as Parcel Motel or whoever and their postcode n as the billing address.

    Then buy the phone with Parcel Motel as the delivery address with your PM ID included.

    That worked fine for me but I could not use that card again with my main Google account.
    I can't remember exactly what happened but they blocked it and I wasn't able to go back into the UK account either if I remember right, but this happened after the device was delivered so it didn't really matter that much.

    You can also set up PayPal to pay for stuff on Google Play with that card as a workaround I would say. I ended up getting a new card number eventually which worked fine with my main account again.

    I bought a nexus 4 before using an Irish visa debit card and parcel motel.
