Contracts are ****. Also ordered my xiaomi from gearbest.

If i remember correctly you have like two Telkom "uncapped" LTE devices, so you probably can just add that sim to your phone which gives you the data and Just buy like a R100 airtime for when you need to make calls.

You're sorted! That's for sure.
 
My mom took one look at my Mi A1 and asked me for a Rose Gold one. Normal HK warehouse is out of stock. Any issues with ordering from the HK-4 warehouse?

Don’t see there being an issue at all, Iv had a order from each through my history.

Side note, ordered and Anne Pro keyboard from them and its current sitting in customs, should clear today and be delivered Monday or Tuesday I hope. Didn’t alter my address or anything so seems touch wood that the address issues are sorted. Can’t wait for this keyboard!

What was the order value of the keyboard?

My dashcam parcel and a second parcel with cables, memory card and phone cover both skipped customs clearance

Order value was about R1100, added a Beasus Wireless Charger to try them out too in the parcel, all my Miboxes had customs fees in them, so no customs would be a bonus if it turns out so.

Howsit @GearBestZA,
Any feedback on this?

Currently, we are working on a new shipping method. That new method should be able to support the shipping of batteries but can only be confirmed once the deal is signed. They are still busy in discussions and confirming pricing to ensure it is the same pricing if not cheaper. They are still busy confirming but once I know, I will advise.

Thanks... any idea if this would be "slow shipping" or courier-type shipping?

Sounds Great, here is hoping, I can really use some Big Xaiomi Power banks :)
 
Another 2 orders placed with Gearbest (1x phone in order 1 and 3x covers and some USB C cables in order 2)

Will report back on progress if anyone is interested. Got in just before the start of Chinese New Year next week
 
Okay, so I just placed a $1000 order with aramex. Hopefully it is not ****ed up, ans ships before CNY. Next order is with banggood.com as more of the stuff I want is in the same warehouse.

What did you buy
 
Hi,

Having trouble with my address in cape Town, bought the new Elephone U pro, just received a message from Gearbest saying that they cannot ship to my address using Aramex, used my postal code in Parklands 7441
