Where'd you get the voucher?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Any updates from anyone ordering from Jadopado? Total cost, delivery time etc?

They emailed it to me, only prob is my order has to be $50 higher than the price of phone to get discount, so It kind of works out to $50 discount

 

[rodga]

Maybe try stacking the vouchers

All my suppliers in Dubai swear by them, actually tell me to go to the store and place my order. Their shipping is extra and is sent by FedEx to SA.

The phones default 1 year warranty covers accidental damage and water damage. Underwritten by allianz global

Thanks, please let us know what you got charged in terms of customs & vat when it gets here.
BTW how much is shipping?

Is it a gift card or a $100 off voucher? If it's a voucher, understandable, must companies do that. If it's a gift card, that makes no sense.

My bad,I misread the voucher details. Was for UAD 100. That works out to about $27 only. Delivery by FedEx cost $65, so will just get it shipped to my supplier in Dubai instead then he will send it to me from there.

Man I'm loving this phone

Getting very good battery life, almost 5 hours screen on time stretched over 3 days.

But you had that dual sim battery drain problem? How was it resolved?

Don't know, it went away. It seems it's an issue with the GPS. So I'm reading that after you use the GPS, you should switch off location services and restart the phone.

So it seems to be intermittent, which is annoying. But apparently this is a Kit Kat issue. The Nexus 5 suffers from some issue with the camera process not stopping after using for example Skype. Google is working on it. I think we can expect a small update in the next couple of months.

Also, I'm coming to South Africa on the 11th of April. I could bring some Moto G's

Sound like a good idea

BTW have you seen this: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/gadgets/98022-smartphone-imports-in-sa-what-you-should-know.html

Using the same calculation on the Moto G 16GB Black from jadopado @ R2,189.42 it works out to be over 3k to get it here:

Item price = R2,189.42
+ 15% "Luxury item mark-up"
Taxable value = R2517.83
+ 21% duty and tax = R3046.57

Still not a bad price for a this phone though.
