Arrgghh, yes.....ordered from Geekbuying the 25th September (registered mail), it finally landed in my mailbox today. Went to post office to fetch. Hard cover fits like a glove. Screen protector I'll fit later. Next time I'm using DHL.

Thank you. Will also order that hardcover if you're happy with it?

Happy with it, all the holes align perfect, appart from the IR blaster that's just a little bit out of line. But I don't use that, so that's fine.
The screen protector could've been a milimeter or two longer though, but not bothering me.

Two months? Whew! I guess my 10th October order is not yet lost in transit.

For some reason DHL isn't a shipping option when I select shipping to SA. Only EMS and TNT at over 20USD. Eish

Can anyone tell me what the total internal storage is that shows up in a file manager?

Why don't you just buy it from Gearbest, $ 139.89 for the 16 GB and $ 169.89 for the 32 GB. I ordered a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 PRO 4GB RAM, 64 GB ROM from them last week for $ 217.89.

Just make sure you ask for the shipping by FedEx Expedited and insured. It should be here in 7 days, and you will have peace of mind as the SA post office will not be involved in the equation.

I'm new at this, how exactly do u ask for dhl shipping? Because all I see is Expedited at checkout

What's the preferred way of paying? PayPal or credit card?

Both should have you covered in case anything goes sour, but I think you can pay with credit card through pay pal, which is what I do. So I'd say pay pal

Ordered through Banggood with EMS shipping (7-15 days), it's been 3 weeks and it hasn't even arrived in country yet, I would advise you to ship DHL always!

I am still waiting from the end of October for my stuff and seen yesterday that it has just come up that it is Jhb Post office centre with customs. Also EMS shipping, but I could not recall seeing the DHL option on the payment when I paid for it.

Anyway still holding thumbs that I will get the stock before Xmas.

Yea, as far as I know DHL (expedited) wasn't an option, I contacted them and also Singapore post they said they'll launch an investigation. EMS is a big rip-off if it still ends up going through the post office..
