    Banggood has my order for three months and always told me my ordered item is on backorder. Now the order was canceled. I have to go through Paypal to get my money back. what a headache.

      I have bought plenty of items from Banggood. Never had a problem with them.

      One item was pre order, but was delayed. They offered that I could wait (and get extra points) or get a refund. I waited a few more weeks but it was still unavailable so asked for a refund and got it straight away (within a few days I think)
      All pleasant and worked well, no problems. I've never had to go through pay pal.

      • Unity55 on 23/12/2017 - 12:29

        How lucky you are, I have my order on Sep 09 2017, and Banggod has replied me in Paypal on 14 December "we will accept your refund request asap to complete refund; You are guaranteed to get your money back sooner than the original timeframe of 20-30 days in Non-receipt PayPal case flow. " Their origianl timeframe for refund is "20~30" days. I just wish they can process it ASAP.

        • PVA on 23/12/2017 - 12:36

          Maybe I am lucky but just saying what's happened for me.
          All was good.

          I did message the rep here though maybe that might help you.

          @Unity55:
          I must add I have never bought something expensive. The dearest was an Android box for about $40.

      • Unity55 on 23/12/2017 - 12:33

        I have 15 orders from Banggood in one year time. I have average spend over $50. My last order is over $300. I don't have any problem with them before this pre-sale event. They will never send it out and they will hold your money.

  • tids2k on 23/12/2017 - 11:52

    I have recently filed a PayPal dispute with lightinthebox. I guess all these HK sellers pretty much have same reputation.

    How come One Plus stopped selling in Australia? Any one know why.

    • jasswolf on 23/12/2017 - 12:19

      We're one of only 6 countries in the world that use Band 28 LTE, and we have 3 of the 12 carriers in the world that make use of it.

      If you're making a cut-price product like Xiaomi or OnePlus do, there's simply no point in having a presence here because it jacks up your costs as you seek to procure specialised modems.

      Maybe once they're able to more cost-effectively produce chips/modems through their individual supply chains or B28 adoption rates rise that will change, but for now we're stuck with premium brands/devices and phones made for the budget PNG/Taiwan markets.

      TL;DR version: Optus and Telstra's mindless (and LNP-fuelled) network wars have made us an unattractive target for new phone manufacturers.

      • cycleri3 on 23/12/2017 - 12:24

        It has nothing to do with this. Its more the local support/warranty and power brick that they can't be bothered with due to lack of population.

        OnePlus 5T sold globally already has all network bands needed for AU, including B28.

        • PVA on 23/12/2017 - 12:31

          Agree, so them saying this really means we can't be bothered making an Australian spec charger like others do.

          Friends in Australia,
          Thank you for the amazing support. We're putting sales for this region on hold until we're sure our Aussie fans can get the best OnePlus experience. We'll continue to provide the promised after-sales support for OnePlus 5 users in Australia.

          I'm aware that the 5/5T supports B28, but that's a small bet by OnePlus and not reflective of their overall product range.

          B28 may erupt on the global agenda if an international agreement that follows our 700 mhz spec is ratified, but it looks like China and the US won't follow suit at this stage.

          We're an easy fleece for margins compared to most countries, so there's zero reason not to have a presence here other than manufacturing issues.

          They came into the market with the 5, then immediately exited. What do you think that says about the market and manufacturing conditions?

        • PVA on 23/12/2017 - 16:16

          @jasswolf:
          Yeah, thinking the same. Not interested in us so why should we buy then.

      • Danthemanz on 23/12/2017 - 14:06

        It was a supply chain test that was always going to end, they said this before it started.
        The phone already had band 28, they added like 20 bands all at once to make it a global phone, the next model will have it too.
        I’m willing to put money on selling to Australia coming back too at some time in the next 6-18 months.

        • jasswolf on 23/12/2017 - 14:26

          I 100% agree with you, so long as the FDD agreement gets off the ground. It's a factor in why they barely put their toe in the water, and reflects the quasi-oligopoly in place in this country.

          The nbn will change that in terms of metro costs at the least, but the LNP keep trying to push the fixed wireless bandwagon every chance they get, and LTE will be a big part of that. While that doesn't include band 28, you can bet they will tack onto any initiative that opens the door for their 4G/5G dream for rural internet.

    • compound on 23/12/2017 - 13:03

      I'm guessing here with a background in marketing and distribution:

      Import cost and regulations. Getting things into Australia can be a painfully slow and expensive process. Especially brining large volumes of electronic goods (QA and Safety etc).

      Which might explain why we're so behind with pretty much a lot of things compared to all the market leader countries.

      Other reason could be they're still in negotiation with stock from JB, Harvey, Bing etc because they all know the demand for this phone.

      Also usually Chinese products are quite disjointed in their organisation/marketing/logistics/chain supply. Not having proper expertise in global launching - they're learning and making it up as they go considering they haven't been around as long as the other established brands. Industry from China are good at copying/counterfeiting, it's their forte but everything else is pretty meh…

      • jasswolf on 23/12/2017 - 13:32

        Import regs are definitely a factor, but the 'bloody China' excuse doesn't fly here on its own.

        It's a combination of import costs, extra modem costs/sourcing and the cost of penetrating the Australian market (media traction tends to have a much more limited impact and OnePlus have a smaller ad budget, while Xiaomi don't advertise).

        • compound on 23/12/2017 - 14:11

          They don't advertise here.

          Most of Xiaomi's international stock is driven by consumer content/media. Which is a smart way to penetrate the marketing.

          I wouldn't be surprised their marketing budget allows sendouts to key influencers to generate a buzz.

          What do you mean by bloody China excuse?

        • jasswolf on 23/12/2017 - 14:18
          +1

          @compound: Xiaomi didn't advertise at all until late last year.

          'Bloody China' as in, best practice is on the cheap. No worse than the rest of Asia in this regard, though corruption is definitely a concern.

        • compound on 23/12/2017 - 15:50
          +1

          @jasswolf: There can be some amazing products coming from there but there's a big number are doing so without an industry standard for quality control. There's a reason why the stereotype/ status quo exist, there's some if not a lot of truth in it.

          Off topic but when I went to Shenzhen for 2 months visting and living in the factories, I only saw shoddy factories. Would love to see a quality one in action though!

          A lot of the stuff that we buy from Aliexpress or from cheap chinese online stores are probably laced with poisonous metals because I know the ones that I visited had zero care about contamination and their waste program was disgraceful.

    • tids2k on 23/12/2017 - 12:55

      you dont have to but budget concious like me would prefer this. 835 to 845 is all marketing shil.

      • jasswolf on 23/12/2017 - 13:22

        Leaked benchmarks suggest the SD845 will be as powerful (multi-core wise) as the A11 Bionic at the same clock speed, so it's not really BS.

        • tids2k on 23/12/2017 - 15:51

          but then the question do we need more power and better hardware or do we need better software implementation around that hardware. If HTC HD2 is still able to run Oreo considering it only had mere specs the overall user GUI is more important and its cleanliness when dealing with hardware. Apple is one great example on how clean their software is as compared to android which wants to new hardware to run apps. At the end of the day there is no point having 100k+ score on benchmarks when the phone would only run 6 hours of screen on time.

        • Diji1 on 23/12/2017 - 17:57

          @tids2k: > Apple is one great example on how clean their software is as compared to android which wants to new hardware to run apps.

          Uh OK. Hey did you hear that Apple literally slows down it's old hardware to force users to upgrade?

          Apparently not …

        • jasswolf on 23/12/2017 - 19:43

          @tids2k: Qualcomm have recently opened up driver development more with vendors, so you'll start to see better optimisations going into the future.

          On top of that, the benefits of upgrading to SD845 are privacy and security of user data as well as a GPU capable of decent AR/VR performance. That plus a 30-40% uptick in performance and a 30% uptick in efficiency make it pretty awesome.

        • tids2k on 23/12/2017 - 22:44

          @Diji1: Exactly that is what I am trying to say here. The software has the capability on running on old hardware. But because the companies want to have more slice of the market they bring up new hardware and as consumers we get more excited thinking newer is better.

        • tids2k on 23/12/2017 - 22:47
          +1

          @jasswolf: @jasswolf that's something my s8 is already capable of. But new hardware do have better scores on benchmark but think about it. Would you want something you can afford or just buy something for a hefty price because they are new. I'm not against you but how the companies exploit consumers in thinking that newer is better. Innovations like bezeless display for example is something that I would be excited about not at what is powering it.

        • thektrinh on 23/12/2017 - 23:58

          @tids2k: It's difficult because the regular consumer doesn't do much research into new hardware vs old hardware and most of the time, yes, newer SOUNDS better. That drives the market which puts the cheaper phones under pressure and we are the ones who cop it!

    • Kerrby on 23/12/2017 - 23:55

      What phones have the SD845 in Australia?

      • tids2k on 24/12/2017 - 10:20

        At the moment you can get Qualcomm reference models but they are not commercial or consumer products.

        • Kerrby on 24/12/2017 - 12:25
