Safe stores,sites,sellers to buy Xiaomi phone's and accessories from


If you didn't get it are you sure PayPal won't refund?
I'm waiting for paypal's response for that matter now.
So that is a no-go. I'm starting to think Android-sale.com is not a good place to order Xiaomi mi-2. They have "promised" a 2-day processing time to people who's been asking about availability of the phone while I've been waiting over 2 months. So my opinion is that it's a no good store.
 
guys on ibuygou there is the preorder of mi2s...converted just 20€ more then the mi2 (32gb version)
 
Quoting myself:
Have anyone got MI2 from android-sale.com since beginning of february? My order is taking awfully lot of time.

So my order have taken 12 weeks now. I commented about the matter on their youtube videos, and I got a e-mail from them which said that they shipped the order. It's been 4 days now since the email and my order is still at "processing" state on my account at the website. They haven't given me even the shipments tracking number.

How long getting the tracking number usually takes?
 
Still no tracking number or anything. I will make this very clear for everybody that you shouldn't buy at android-sale.

Here's my e-mail conversation with the shop (This is long for the post, but essential for understanding what's going on or if you just want to humor yourselves):

Okay these items I ordered on february 2:
Xiaomi mi-2 32GB, 3100mAh battery + screen cover = €380.49
Xiaomi mi-2 16GB, 3100mAh battery + screen cover = €342.67
Xiaomi mi-2 16GB, 3100mAh battery + screen cover = €342.67

+DHL shipping
Total: €1080.95 = $1428,89

April 1. (the fools day)

Shine Wong:
Sorry for the inconvenience.We will keep contacting with the manufacturer and try our best to get the phone and ship it to you as soon as possible.Thanks


April 2.

Me:
Can you enlighten me why could you send the phone to others but not to me? This seems you don't appreciate me as a customer and keep delaying the order as you like.
While I look at the reviews and questions at the bottom of the phone's page, I see:

Is it in stock now?
Review by RunnerCZE on March 28, 2013
Hello! Is it in stock now?
If I pay today, when the phone arrives?

Me:

Okay that sounds reasonable

April 11. Week 10

Shine Wong:

Me:
With the 3100 mAh battery?

Shine Wong:
Sorry for the inconvenience.We can't confirm the time for this at present.Thanks

April 12.

Me:
I can manage with the 2000 mAh battery. But you should refund me somehow if you cannot provide the 3100 mAh battery. USB OTG adapters and MHL adapters is fine for the sake of waiting for over 2 months too.

April 13.

Ok,we can refund the payment for the 3100mah battery.Thanks

And after that I haven't got any response from their shop. As it seems they made some adjustments to their shop during April. They don't sell their phones from android-sale.com but the "buy now" links to alibaba/aliexpress. And who keeps the shop at alibaba? Well that's not very hard to guess. So it seems they are moving to clearer waters and I lose $1430/3 xiaomi mi2-phones.
 
^God, that's sounds very bad . . .

So there is no chance to get your money back? Maybe you can try to contact paypal?
As far as I know, android-sale is like a partner with Gizchina so I thought it's reliable.

No, there's no chance to get my money back anymore. The transaction have been made so long ago. I tried thou. I checked out the gizchina and yes: Lots of their reviewed products are linked to android-sale.com. I'm wondering how could I get the phones thus they don't sell them anymore. If you want to buy products from android-sale theres only links to aliexpress and dhgate. Of which I wouldn't trust in a million years.
 
AliExpress is not a shop, its a place. Like chinese version of Ebay. Bought something there over a month ago, still waiting for it. Every shop on AliExpress is potential problem, but some can be trusted, I think. Didn't have positive experience with them yet, only ordered once and still waiting.

I bought both Xiaomi phones and Xiaomi original accessories several times from RealPricesFromChina.com (both before and after recent update). Received everything just fine. Got one bad phone (manufacturer defect), sent it back and received a working replacement (new phone) without problems.

Edit:
if you paid via Paypal and didn't receive your product and you're still able to open a dispute and seller isn't helpful in fixing the problem, open a dispute and if it isn't solved within time limit, upgrade to paypal claim.
 
imho the price is too low on dhgate even the 32 gb version at that price? o_O
this forum have ibuygou as official seller price isn't too expensive it's 100% safe and communication with the seller seems good to almost anyone
 
@emaz did you talk to any of the sellers?? and If you did then do you think them both as reliable or for that matter any one of them..
your feedback will help me to be sure that i'm not payin for a knockoff!!!...:)..
 
blackstone / emaz / other MIUIAndroid Member,

Anybody ordered from www.fulcrumall.com before?
If so, may I know what was your experience so far?

Is there any Xiaomi Store in Beijing or other cities in China / HongKong / Singapore?

Thank you in advance!
 
what about fastcardtech.com..
i see xiaomi mi2s in this site is cheaper.
what fastcardtech trust for buying?
 
@sp4rda in the first page : ginuzence: Xiaomi Mi 2 with a slow proceeding bad communication with the seller insecure payment, but at a cheaper price. fastcardtech.com
 
Hi guys, can anyone tell me if they got their Xiaomi MI2 S from an ebay seller. There are some from Hong Kong but seem like a fake deal, can anyone confirm a good seller from there that ships to Bulgaria? I've searched for a reputable site but even in this forum I see problems with customs, shipping and etc. Thanks in advance for your response.
 
Hello again. So I never got the phones nor have been refunded by android-sale.com. This time I'm glad I live in Finland because the law ordered the credit card company to refund me. Phew! Now I'm trying again from ibuygou.com. I'm pretty sure everything goes smoother this time.
 
j'ai commandé ce produit il y a 3 semaines et franchement, il est TOP !!! produit tres bien fini, rapide, aucun soucis (wifi, 3G) un ecran 5.8 full HD qui permet de visionner aisement les pages web, prises photos et videos nickel (faut juste bien configurer l'apn au depart), une rom satisfaisante pour y stocker un grand nombre de logiciels, un peu encombrant mais bon, je l'ai voulu lollll, Le site Bonpascher est serieux, rapide et efficace, je recommande +++ ce telephone et le professionnalisme du site:http://www.bonpascher.com/portable-pas-cher
Portable Pas Cher
 
Recently i bought a back cover for my xiaomi m1S from SIS 24 hours online Co., LTD. for 10$
