Did you have to pay any customs or VAT charges?

I only had to pay the EMS delivery guy R65.18
When ordering I chose the EMS shipping which was $20 probably that included those charges in advance.
The seller also lowered the price of the phone from $155 to $40 on the invoice so that might lowered the VAT

Automatically, or requested?

One week update of the Mi Band 2:

So it has been one week since I first got the Mi Band 2 from DX.com and I am still very happy with it. I am taking waaaay too many HR readings!

I also bought the Mi Band Tools app (R30-odd) to customize my notifications a bit more than what the Mi Fit app allows. You can set DND times, custom icons (up to a point), custom vibrations and a bit more.

The battery is currently on 43% and it has tracked me through about 200 HR measurements, 21km total distance or approx. 36'000 steps. It also vibrates and shows a notification on all calls, messages, e-mails and I have it set to track my sleeping patterns and wake me with a vibrating alarm. Oh, and I also use it as a Smart Unlock when it is near my phone

Thanks for that. Brilliant app! Just bought it.

The battery life seems to taper off quite sharply after about 80%. I am sure it will stabilise within the next few weeks as I am gradually just leaving it alone for the most part and not using it as much as the first few days. The Mi Band Tools app might also have something to do with it, but I will see if I can determine what exactly uses the majority of the 70mAh battery
