    Add about €40 customs and handling fees to that, unless you're very lucky and it slips under the radar.

    I would avoid. It's gearbest & secondly the wording is odd "unlocked for world wide use".

    Presumably that means it has the global ROM, not the Chinese version on it.

    The one's that everyone is buying have the wording "Official Global Version".

    I wouldn't buy it until one of the more expert posters comments. Put in on here & you will soon find out:

    Plenty would disagree but each to their own. Lots if people have bought this phone from Honorbuy & no one has had a problem. 48 hour delivery & no duty

    What is your argument exactly against them? You've said nothing to actually vouch for your dislike of them.

    Ok... so do plenty of places. You're not putting up a worthy argument here whatsoever, just saying it's bad with no backing.

    I've bought plenty of electronics off it and never had an issue.

    As I said before it's everyone's choice & I choose not to based on the opinions I have read on Boards.

    It's a fabulous phone but be careful because there are lots of versions. Check the other thread before you order one

    Looks to be the same one in that other thread, has band 20 lte so thats the global version.
    However, if you have to pay customs it's going to be cheaper to use honoubuy or goldaway (on AliExpress).

    I got the Xiamo Redmi Note 4 a few months ago from Gearbest. No import fees and not a single problem with it.

    Shouldn't this be in the sponsored Gearbest thread? nothing is a bargain from Scumbest.


    Should have been banned from here, not welcomed with an open wallet.
