Nexus 5X - Where to Get from?

Bik on 11/11/2016 - 15:39

Hello everyone,

I am looking forward to getting a Nexus 5X for my dad.
I saw this
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/275128
$422 @Mobileciti

And also came across
http://www.eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au/google-nexus-5x-4g-3… $325 @eglobal.

Can you please suggest me, is it worth getting one from eglobal? How are their products? Or it should be wise to pay $100 more and get from Mobileciti.

Also, can someone please make me clear on what are grey imports?
I am sending this phone to my dad overseas. So not sure which one to get?

Thank you :) Looking forward to positive feedbacks

    Keep in mind it's actually $350 shipped @ eGlobal, use code BLACKFRI to get 3% off making it $340.25.

      When i try to test with that code, gives me:

      ERROR! There is no such discount coupon.
      Please try again.

    I could be wrong but usually mobiciti is Aus brand? As such you should have the full aussie warranty instead of eglobal only warranty. I'd personally pay the extra hundred. (I have no idea if theres any other differences such as frequency bands etc)

    Not sure about you but eGlobal had an extra cost of 35 bucks for me for shipping due to being in a regional area, if you include the shipping price I don't think its too much of a jump.

    In saying that though I bought my s7 edge from eGlobal and its working great, definitely new, and took about 7 days to get to me as they used toll priority shipping. I haven't had to (and hope I never will have to) deal with warranty though so its something thats worrisome.

      Mobileciti and mobicity are two different companies.

      Mobileciti is based in Parramatta and they sell phones in a store, and online.

      Mobicity is under Yatango Holdings, which closed down and simply operated as Yatango Shopping, and now that too has went into voluntary administration, leaving customers with unfulfilled orders and out of pocket.

      Whatever was left of their customer base is now being taken care of by Yomojo

        Whoa Whoa thanks for the catch mate, I didn't know there was two different ones (with such similar names), I remember seeing a Mobileciti deals post earlier today so figured OP was talking about the paramatta one. Cheers mate!

        As I can't edit the earlier post, I'd personally go for eGlobal out of the two of them.

    If you have a friend or relative in NZ who can post it across for you, this is a great deal. $299 NZD for the 32gb version

      thanks so much ^_^

    Personally I would pay the extra $100 and go mobileciti
