Hi mattlol
This is an international/import model
You do not have to purchase additional 1 year wty as it comes with 1 year wty by default.
RRP is taken from CNET:
http://www.cnet.com.au/samsung-galaxy-note-3-pricing-plans-3…
Correction: It should be $999
We will get the devices sooner than major stores. Most likely it will be shipped this Monday(30th September) if there is no further delay from Samsung
Cheers
Sam
has anyone dealt with Becextech before? are they good?
Hey webtherapist
I'm sure that you will be pleased with us (or if not talk to us and we will make things right), but it sounds biased Lol :)
Don't just take my word.
You are welcome to check all the reviews from third party survey/feedback company (both positives & negatives) from Google:

lots of sockpuppet reviews on productreview.com.au
Hi OP/Rep,
Are these in Australia? Or are they delivered from overseas? Will the buyer be deemed to be the importer?
So, no warranty from SAMSUNG Australia? They offer two years you know?
If warranty support is needed:
Who pays for the return?
To where is the phone sent?
Who pays for the return to the customer?
Is there a guarantied maximum wait time?
Will any service/repair required be carried out by an approved SAMSUNG repair center and with genuine SAMSUNG parts?
Is a SAMSUNG AU AC Charger included with each item?
If not. Is an approved adapter, with A-Tick or C-Tick included?
Sorry for so many questions, but this is a lot of money.
EDIT
By the way most of those reviews appear fake to me.
EDIT 2
Yeah. Just checked them out. Positive reviews are fake. Keep mentioning the store name and so on. Clear fake reviews. This may not detract one from buying any real bargains, but sure makes your store look dishonest.
Why waiting for the rep to come back and reply to my questions, I would like to point out that the Australian Market model will be priced at a RRP of $999.
However Hardly Normal is offering it as a Pre-Order for $888 ->
http://www.harveynorman.com.au/samsung-galaxy-note-3-black.h…
So, taking that price as a reference point - you can spend $39 more than this Becextech price and get Fair Trading protection, a local two year warranty backed by SAMSUNG Australia, a safe and legal AC charger with an AU plug, and peace of mind.
So, all taken into account this IS NOT A BARGAIN.
grey import for that price is expensive , rather get from harvey norman with 2 years warranty.
Where's the +$79 postage?
Where's the +$79 postage?
Wat you talkin bout?
OP/rep said $849 delivered.
Still not a bargain, as local price now is $888 - may be lower on release on October 3rd.
I've got a blanket rule not to buy from anyone who thinks $75+ for postage is appropriate (check their other items). It's just plain deceptive (especially when they can run a special with free shipping…)
Lol so much sockpuppeting on productreview. Very suspicious.
Definitely not a bargain. Pay a few dollars more for local stock.
Hey Guys
Thanks for all the comments. I always appreciate them :)
@ uccoffee
The price is $849 delivered currently. It's the decent price for first batch. It's subject to change depending on the stock and exchange rate

@ A3Australia
Thanks for the questions and pointing out the other price. It's the decent price for first batch as previously mentioned as we will ship this Monday.
Our 3rd Oct price may be better(again it will depend on some factors).
To answer some of your questions:
Who pays for the return?
A: It's customer
To where is the phone sent?
A: We have a few repair centers throughout Australia. They are located in Vic and NSW
Who pays for the return to the customer?
A: It's us
Is there a guarantied maximum wait time?
A: 2 - 4 weeks is our normal turnaround times. 45 days is our maximum wait time before we replace.
Will any service/repair required be carried out by an approved SAMSUNG repair center and with genuine SAMSUNG parts?

All our repair centers though are pretty good and all the replacement parts are guaranteed genuine
Is a SAMSUNG AU AC Charger included with each item?
A: Yes, it comes with genuine Samsung charger(with CE tick) plus AU adapter
Hope this answers
Cheers

Thank you for the reply.

I take this to mean that repairs are attempted at your repair centers, and that these repairers are not authorised by SAMSUNG.
I accept you 'claim' that you believe your repairers use genuine SAMSUNG parts. However, they could be telling you lies. After all, if they are not authorised SAMSUNG repair centers, from where could they be ordering the parts?

One of my questions was - "Is an approved adapter, with A-Tick or C-Tick included?"
I take it that the plug adapter does not carry the required safety approval?
Feel free to contact respected company to report the reviews that you suspected is not right or the poster if you prefer and communicate with them.
Some of those review sites are NOT RESPECTED at all.
In any case most of the positive reviews failed my tests. They are fakes.
@ A3Australia
Q: Thank you for the reply.
A: No problem. Always glad to be a help :)
Q: I take this to mean that repairs are attempted at your repair centers, and that these repairers are not authorised by SAMSUNG.
A: Yes. They don't work on imported model, unfortunately. I'm curious if you know any of 'authorized' repair center that do international model?
I would be happy to contact them
Q: I accept you 'claim' that you believe your repairers use genuine SAMSUNG parts. However, they could be telling you lies. After all, if they are not authorised SAMSUNG repair centers, from where could they be ordering the parts?
A: Yes, it's guaranteed. We have been in the industry for 7 years and has been true to our word. If it's something you are concerned then you are able to do further research about them.
Feel free to PM me and i will advise you our repair centers.
Q: One of my questions was - "Is an approved adapter, with A-Tick or C-Tick included?"
A: Charger has C-Tick not adapter
Q: Some of those review sites are NOT RESPECTED at all.
A: In your point of view, which review sites that are respected then if i may know? :)
Of course, Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and i respect yours too.
Take the advice that you think is right for you and leave anything that you feel is not right. If you found all of the online reviews are not true then you can always buy from the brick and mortar store if you are more comfortable with them. After all, we need to support local business too
Just my 2 cents :)
p.s: Btw, not sure if HN is selling 4G or 3G model as it's not clearly specified on site whether it's N9000 or N9005? Our one is 4G model
Cheers
Sam
these repairers are not authorised by SAMSUNG.
A: Yes. They don't work on imported model, unfortunately. I'm curious if you know any of 'authorized' repair center that do international model?I would be happy to contact them
You are obviously somewhat confused.
The facts are:-
There are no "international" or 'imported' models.
You are selling a Hong Kong market phone.
SAMSUNG Australia will not honor any warranty on these phones.
SAMSUNG Australia and/or some of their authorised service centers may service/repair these phones, but will charge for the parts and labor.
you believe your repairers use genuine SAMSUNG parts. However, they could be telling you lies. After all, if they are not authorised SAMSUNG repair centers, from where could they be ordering the parts?
A: Yes, it's guaranteed. We have been in the industry for 7 years and has been true to our word. If it's something you are concerned then you are able to do further research about them.
Feel free to PM me and i will advise you our repair centers.
Ridiculous! You can not guaranty any such thing. I shall take up your challenge and will call SAMSUNG tomorrow.
One of my questions was - "Is it an approved adapter, with A-Tick or C-Tick included?"
A: Charger has C-Tick not adapter
No, you already stated that the AC Charger has the "CE" mark, NOT any accepted Australian certification.
If the plug adapter does not carry approval it is illegal and possibly unsafe. Does it at least have insulation covering most of the two angled pins?
Some of those review sites are NOT RESPECTED at all.
A: In your point of view, which review sites that are respected then if i may know? :)
None of the ones you posted. Perhaps ProductReview was before the Deals debacle.
By the way, you are still not admitting to all the fake reviews?
Of course, Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and i respect yours too.
Thanks for that.
Take the advice that you think is right for you and leave anything that you feel is not right. If you found all of the online reviews are not true then you can always buy from the brick and mortar store if you are more comfortable with them. After all, we need to support local business too.
Well you sure don't. And what about supporting Australia by paying some AU tax? GST and/or income tax.
The bad reviews are the only ones that pass any testing.
Harvey Norman, $888 pre-order, AU stock, no warranty hassle.
Hi A3Australia
Sorry for the late reply. I've been flat out and been working on some cases for yonks
necessarily HK stock. As a matter of fact, HK stock cost slightly cheaper than AU model
Sorry for the confusion, When i said "Samsung does do any repair for imported models.." that means they don't warranty work for imported model so we have to provide our own warranty
Yes, the replacement part is genuine. Not sure how it's related to Samsung though as i have mentioned that we have our own repair centers?
Both are correct. Charger can has more than one certification.
All the reviews are all correct. The only way to find out is to buy and experience this on your own. You may then write your own review
As previously advised, take the advice that you think is right for you and leave anything that you feel is not right. If you found all of the online reviews are not true then you can always buy from the brick and mortar store.
p.s: Short answer is yes, we pay income tax locally.
Specialized corporate tax lawyer should be able to advise this. Companies must be structured properly
Cheers

Before I respond - let me be clear and up-front with my belief regarding this rep. He is blatantly lying to the OzBargain community, and is also attempting to be misleading with his replies (eg. Regarding paying income/company tax on these sales).
I was not confused. This is indeed international model. We bought from Asia, Europe, USA depending on proces and bring these to our central warehouse, which is located in HK. It's not
necessarily HK stock.
Then you should have stated International models - plural. There is no "international model" according to SAMSUNG. Each market has its own model.
As a mate of fact. HK stock costs slightly cheaper than AU model.
Of course it is! That is why you mostly sell the HK model to Australia, because it is cheaper because of no tax and 'churning' of local HK carriers customers.
Sorry for the confusion, When i said "Samsung does do any repair for imported models.." that means they don't warranty work for imported model so we have to provide our own warranty.
No, you could just pay the SAMSUNG Australia charge for out of warranty repairs. You find it cheaper to use unauthorised repair shops or to return the phones to Samsung HK.
Yes, the replacement part is genuine.
No. You have no way of knowing or being able to truthfully state that.
Not sure how it's related to Samsung though as i have mentioned that we have our own repair centers?
THAT IS WHY IT IS 'RELATED'. SAMSUNG has told me that they do not supply parts to unauthorised repairers.
So, one of you is mistaken or lying. I wonder which one.
Are these repair centers, that are your "own", authorised Samsung repair agents?
Both are correct. Charger can has more than one certification.
You are being evasive and misleading. Are you now saying that the AC chargers you are supplying (HK, ASIA, European, and American) all carry the required AU safety certification? And that the adapter used to adapt these different chargers to the Australian style angled two pin plug, also carries the required safety certification?
What is the Supplier Number on these adapters?
All the reviews are all correct.
Please! Now you are just insulting our intelligence.
Short answer is yes, we pay income tax locally.
Stop being misleading. You DO NOT PAY AUSTRALIAN INCOME TAX, COMPANY TAX, OR GST, ON THESE SALES. You should legally, as the sales were initiated in Australia. Unfortunately our Tax Department is not enforcing the law. They told me that they did not have the funding to do so.
A warning to anyone thinking of purchasing this grey import phone:
http://ausdroid.net/2013/09/28/samsungs-new-region-locks-app…
hmmm… is this AU stock? where did you get the $1009 RRP figure from? $83 seems a bit steep for one extra year warranty.
