    whats the delivery time from geekbuy?

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 08/10/2015 - 19:24
      +5

      Typically ~3 weeks with free shipping. Usually 3-5 days with DHL or TNT.

      • jv on 08/10/2015 - 19:30

        Typically ~3 weeks

        Why does it take so long?

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 08/10/2015 - 19:36
          +14

          That's how long it takes for China Post, Singapore Post and PostNL to process and ship to Australia followed by Auspost processing and delivering it to your door. That's why it is free.

          3 weeks isn't so bad. As long as they're not taking over 3 months like some of the others on Ozbargain.

          @Hirolol: no. JV assumes that free shipping entitles him to courier delivered service on a silver platter everywhere. Maybe their staff hopping onto the next flight to Australia and handing it to him at the door with a smile.

          @bchliu:

          JV assumes that free shipping

          There's no such thing as 'free' shipping. The cost of shipping has just been built into the price.

          @jv:
          OK.. let me rephrase it then.. "no. JV assumes that every cheap product purchased overseas entitles him to courier delivered service on a silver platter everywhere that is included in the price already."

          Better?

      • kampua on 08/10/2015 - 22:57

        The last time I bought it was more like 6 weeks.

    • This Guy on 08/10/2015 - 22:54
      +2

      Two* weeks for most of my order with express shipping but I'm still waiting (6 months) for my power bank.

      *The courier I picked didn't ship from one of their warehouses so they wanted us$50 for express shipping instead of the us$20 I paid. After three weeks of trying privately, the rep here got me a refund.

      I reordered to a capital city with the 'correct' courier and two weeks later my order arrived minus the power bank.

      Emails about the missing power bank were ignored. I found a tracking number for deutsche post on my order but deutsche post did not update it. My account was locked (I get a runtime error when logging in). By this time I had wasted several hours and the power bank was pretty cheap so I gave up.

      This was six months ago so hopefully they have improved.

    • Roary on 08/10/2015 - 19:28

      I think you will find that many of the Chinese online shops send phones like this.
      Quite often the apps contain spyware

      I have been lucky though and always received brand new boxed phones.

      • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 08/10/2015 - 19:33

        Dodgy Aliexpress sellers and generic phones from Amazon is where you'll find phones with 3rd party Spyware.

    Can anyone point out the differences between prime and standard?

    • mamsong on 08/10/2015 - 19:30

      Prime has 32GB ROM
      Standard has 16GB ROM

      • Gladioli on 08/10/2015 - 19:44

        I believe the processor is clocked slightly higher also (2.2GHz as opposed to just 2 GHz).

        • kywst on 08/10/2015 - 20:08

          and the GPU is clocked higher also

        • Jackson on 08/10/2015 - 22:47

          @kywst: the standard model is 179AUD,is it worth the extra money for this? I think I am leaning to the standard

          Depending on your carrier, 3G/4G might not work with the standard model. Different bands and such.

        • kywst on 12/10/2015 - 22:51

          @Jackson: You won't see much difference. The additional 16GB is the only tangible difference.

          +12

          They sell high quality products without the luxury price tag, they have a very reputable name for ensuring their stuff is of high quality. Not sure what your issue is with them, it might help your case if you elaborate.

        • Roary on 09/10/2015 - 14:33

          Because your naive..

          I have a few Xiaomi products and they are excellent quality.
          Just because your more familiar with other companies does not make Xiaomi any less reputable

        It helps our economy by allowing other countries to buy things at USD70c on the dollar, while everything we buy from them costs us 43% more.

          @inose: I think around 80c is more normal. I don't think there's anywhere that it's 'supposed' to be, you could argue that, if the market is working (and they always work) then the price is always correct - no matter what it is.

      Paypal charges extra to get their cut. $250 is the current exchange rate and you'll get that if you pay with some credit cards like 28 Degrees.

        that price has notthing to do with paypal. that is what geek buying charges in AUD

        they charge AUD 276.71 - [14.57(value of geekbuying coupon code)] = 262.13

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 08/10/2015 - 22:28
