    Managed to pick two of the international editions..
    no other model seems to be in stock.
Cynicaloflife on 11/11/2016 - 19:43

Anyone aware about how cashrewards will work?

Used the same email for aliexpress and cashrewards. But did not go through the cash rewards website. Was that a mistake? I thought aliexpress notifies cashrewards about the purchases.

(Also somehow got $10 USD Discount, but kind of regret now not using it :( as coupons dont work with cashrewards)
- baldur on 11/11/2016 - 19:46
  
  from cashrewards:
  
  Note: If you cant see your transaction here, you may need to wait up to 7 days following your purchase to see it here.
  - Cynicaloflife on 11/11/2016 - 19:46
    
    Thanks! Worse come worse, I will contact tightarse.
    
    I didnt use the coupons just to get the cashrewards ($5 new account + 11.1%).

Holy shit am I glad I added the few things I wanted to my cart early.

I refreshed after purchasing my things, and everything else I had in wishlist was gone by 7:02 pm.

They do not feck around with sales over there.
Greens on 12/11/2016 - 00:11

Is there anyway to get more than a USD$2.00 discount coupon? I even downloaded the Aliexpress app but that gave me nothing.

I am looking at the Mi5S at USD$294.99 and I can see if you spend over $300 there is USD$30.00 off coupon you can get somehow. It says they have exhausted their coupon stock….? If I can get the coupon I will order the film and cover for the phone making it USD$302.19 before the $30 discount coupon.

Any help would be appreciated. It was a pity that the Redmi Note3 Pro Prime sold out which was USD$116.99 as I was planning all week to get that phone. Now if I am spending 2.5 times that amount I will want that $30 off coupon. Sound fair?

Just ordered Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition (Band 28) - 32GB/3GB but forgot to do cash back bummer
- MashiMaro on 12/11/2016 - 00:17
  
  Cancel and reorder. I did with the mi5s.
  - atlinus on 12/11/2016 - 00:56
    
    AliExpress website says to cancel, you need confirmation from the seller ?
    
    SALE is only for today, what if the seller did not agree to cancel or only agree and respond after few days — may cause trouble/dispute.
  - mutanti on 12/11/2016 - 07:40
    
    Done. Have cancelled and reordered… See what happens..
atlinus on 12/11/2016 - 00:52

Will there be a difference in charges/fees if I bought the phone in USD currency rather than in AUD currency?

I forgot to change the currency in AliExpress to AUD and end up paying in USD.
- twister292 on 12/11/2016 - 01:08
  
  Depends on your credit card. Best to pay in. USD and use a credit card which doesn't charge forex fees.

pixxelpusher on 12/11/2016 - 15:18

Only one left when I was buying was the Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition so thought I may as well grab it. With this version is there anything you have to do to it once it arrives? Do you have to flash the rom or anything or is it all good to go as is? The listing said official International software, so does that mean no tinkering is needed?
- PinzVidz on 12/11/2016 - 15:50
  
  See here.
  - pixxelpusher on 12/11/2016 - 16:14
    
    Thanks, but the sale page on AliExpress did say that it has the "Official Global Rom + Google play store" and under MIUI version it says "MIUI 7.5 android 6.0.1". Isn't that the same as what you've linked to? This will be my first Android phone, coming from iOS.
    - baldur on 12/11/2016 - 23:55
      
      i sent a message to the store, they said it will be all good to use. probably everything will be already pre-installed.

samehada on 12/11/2016 - 18:17

Redmi Note 3 Special Edition is no longer manufactured by Xiaomi so ALL back orders by Geekbuying will soon be cancelled. They are pretty much pre-sale and my order from the very first sale has been cancelled. So even if you pay with DHL it won't be shipped fast because they don't have stock on hand. You can consider this is the last chance to buy this phone for whatever stock these sellers have left.
fredblogs on 12/11/2016 - 20:54

Just had my Mi4C order cancelled due to: "Your Order No. has been cancelled because payment was not made before 12 Nov 2016 00:26"
I paid with credit card and it shows on my bank account! And I have a previous email saying "The seller has shipped your order".
Has anyone else had this happen?
- saray248 on 12/11/2016 - 23:16
  
  Hi @fredblogs
  
  I have ordered gold and silver Redmi note 3, I got an email that Gold has been cancelled but Silver is processed.
  I am not sure why it's been cancelled due to"Your Order No. has been cancelled because payment was not made before 12 Nov 2016 00:26".
  I have paid for both the orders with the same credit card. This is really frustrating as the money has been deducted from my credit card already.

Poseidon on 18/11/2016 - 00:18

I have had no updates to my order so far and now the seller just asked me to cancel my order as they have no stock. I cancelled and selected 'no stock' as the reason for the cancellation. The seller then refused my cancellation and is asking me to cancel again stating a different reason 'change of mind' or similar.
Is this dodgy or am I missing something?
