Postbox Courier. If you can wait for 2 weeks then let me be your guinea pig, I will give you a cost break down. Also zeek doesnt have it in stock and I imagine that it will be a while before they get it. Oneplus has even stopped sales in other EU and Asian countries because of strong demand.

Keep us updated with the process, and final charges.

On another note; my trusty 1+1 died after owning it for 2 years.

I really wanted to get the 1+3, BUT in the end the high cost involved in getting the device here (customs, courier fee's) and the lack of local support (warranty, repairs) was a deal breaker.

I got the Mi5, its not bad, but not a powerhouse like the 1+3

Even OP 3 accessories are scarce in SA

Bought a case for my OnePlus 3 the other day and had to also be willing to prepare myself for the long wait of 2 to 4 weeks due to them ordering it from the US first and then shipping to SA. I'm still on week 1 of waiting but this case is really worth waiting for IMO. :p
 
OxygenOS 3.2.4 hotfix OTA will start soon on OnePlus 3 - Paused Rollout

Statement from OnePlus on their forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygenos-3-2-4-hotfix-ota-will-start-soon-on-oneplus-3.459673/#post-15158063 - Guess I will hold off upgrading the OS until all issues are fixed. :whistle:

Hi Everyone,

We've provided a hotfix for the below issues and begun rolling out OxygenOS 3.2.4 for the OnePlus 3 today. The update includes the following items:

  • Fixed the auto-reboot issue.
  • Improved call quality.
  • Implemented various fixes and carrier optimizations.

As usual, the rollout will be incremental. We will get everyone covered as quickly as possible. Please give us your thoughts and feedback in the comments below!

Thanks :)

EDIT: Due to some reports of issues with Android Pay and LTE connectivity, we’ve temporarily paused the rollout of this OTA. We will address these issues and continue the rollout as soon as possible.

How are you guys planning to use the chargers when importing? Isn't the plug standard different?

From where did you order your case from. I am looking for one.
 
Ok guys. My phone is here, I got it litellaly a few hours ago. Let me get the obvious questions out of the way:
Q: How much did the phone cost?
A:329GBP which translated to R6069.16 via paypal at the time

Q:How much did shipping cost?
A:Oneplus offers free shipping to the UK(weirdly they shipped from Poland of all places). I shipped to Postbox and they charged me 22.76GBP (R411.62) to ship to SA.

Q:How about import duties.
A:Ouch, I wish you didn't ask. I ultimately paid a total of R1429.40+R150.00(Disbursement Fee)=R1579.40.

Q:How much did it cost in total?
A:R(6069.16+411.62+1579.40)=R8060.18. This is obviously exchange rate dependent.

Q:Are you happy about the total cost?
A:Not really. I was hoping to keep the costs below R7000. But considering that I have a top of the range phone with latest chip and and 64Gb storage. Also considering that the exchange rate, I am happy. I suppose I could have bought Mi5 and saved a bit but, meh.

Q:Why did you order from the US. it would have been around R400 cheap?
A:I know, but the US version doesn support all of our LTE bands

Q:How long did it take?
A:14days from placing the order.

Q:Impressions on the phone so far.
A:The build quality is as good as the iphone. It is thinner that one might think. The camera bump is not as prominent as I thought
