Extra $35 via DHL will make it appear at your door within 5-7 Work Days. Depending on your bank's exchange rate you looking roughly at R3000.
It came today....

Dont know if I can say lucky you or to bad....
My Note 4 from China is having a race against the Mi 5 from Hong Kong and the Case from the USA Warehouse.
So far the Mi5 is winning
No cut for Pravin?
I'm more than thrilled. Getting a fastboot rom atm so I can unlock bootloader and flash Lineage , TWRP, Gapps, SuperSu. Screw MIUI.Dont know if I can say lucky you or to bad....

The light green model... interesting
When did you order, and what shipping did you use? Import duties?
Ordered on 9th January total was R2700 for Note 3 Pro Kate with cover and screen protector. Used registered shipping. Cos I read that DHL was R600 or so if memory serves plus they bang you at customs.
So the customs turned out to be only R64. 00! Lmfao

You seriously ordered on 9 Jan and got it today
I take my hat off with respect for you, No ways in hell I would be able to wait 2 months for a phone. (I am strugling with the week already hitting refresh on DHL tracking as if its a arcade game.)
Hell I am so bad I bought 2 just in case one breaks or gets lost
I had a replacement after I sold my LG G4 for R2500. So I wasn't hard up.You seriously ordered on 9 Jan and got it today

Got me final bill, had to add R311 for Customs and whatnot
Overall a lot less than I expected or budgeted.
Delivered already, or still on the way?

Which guide are you using for that? I'll try the same on my Mi Max if MIUI isn't to my liking. What's got you so against MIUI? Previous experience with that or Lineage?
Going on 98 days now for my delivery

OK all the guides for unlocking the bootloader failed. Had one soft boot loop as well. The tutorial idos posted on page 65 worked without unlocking bootloader.Which guide are you using for that?

I don't like any skins on Android at all. I suffered with the G4 for a year. I've always had a preference for Cyanogen Mod from day 1 on my HTC One X .
No bloat. Customize to your hearts content. Control battery life.
On a side note. Two of the covers I have don't fit this Kate. If anyone wants them pm me. First pm gets both. Just leave me your postal details and contact.
Edit: Aaaaaaand they are gone.
