    You didn't say which seller on Aliexpress there is loads.

    Maybe link the device and seller your looking at.

    Some sellers (HK Goldway) have VAT free shipping.

    Allot of people have used aliexpress for phones see this thread: -

    Edit: - The links I looked at say that the phone doesn't support Band 20(800) for LTE use here: -

    And be aware of Customs charges when it arrives here, I know two people who got phones and got caught, even though everything else they ordered got through free.
