Order was shipped with Stackry. But I got this dodgy sounding SMS...

"77199440xxxx, Dear Customer,please could you URGENTLY email: l.freddy@fedex.supaswift.co.za regarding tracking # , FedEx requires your ID number/importers code to proceed with customs clearance. Kind Regards Lance (DO NOT REPLY TO SMS,PLEASE ADD TRACKING NUMBER IN EMAIL)"

They do infact need your ID for customs clearance. I shipped with UPS, and they phoned me to ask for my ID.

If I were you, Id rather phone Fedex to confirm

I got the same thing. Contact them quickly to help speed up the customs clearance etc or you will wait

when did you actually pay them? I've gotten the pro forma invoice but haven't been given any info about making the payment.

0 invite available. PM me your email address if you are serious about buying one. 64GB Sandstone Black.

Out of the 3 invites MyBB members requested, none of you used them. Shame on you!!!!

DHL never asked me for my ID. They just sent me an invoice with their banking details and I paid immediately.

so the black friday deals are being able to buy the device (16GB & 64GB) invite-free and discounts on selected accessories..maybe this means that the invite system is slowly being phased out?

Cut it close there!
Haha tell me about it, was stressing! DHL pulled through, they got it this morning and managed to deliver 2 hours later. Will save on import and shipping, but the price in Pounds was considerably more than in USD when converting to Rands! Thanks again for the invite!!!

If I may ask what is the total cost you guys end up paying? My S3 is still going strong and can't really find a reason to upgrade at the moment but this might be something to consider.

I upgraded from an S3 running CM and the difference was massive. Go for it.
