        • @Cheapascents: I found that the Gold colour is the best. I don't really like the design of the Mi5S, Mi 5 glass back design is sexier and classier than Mi5s

  • +2

    You can still buy Mi5 with Music Package, this is actually better value. The Mi Piston 3 for extra $9 USD is cheap, this headphone is on ozbargain deal for more than this price.

  • Bought a Mi5 and came out to $308.48 AUD.. White with DHL shipping.

    • how? standard package? did u pay in USD or AUD?

      • +1

        Standard package and paid in USD.

        was $205USD + $16.93 USD DHL = $221.92

        Coupon didn't seem to work.. But I'm not fussed.

        Just happy to find a phone similar to my now non working Xperia Z2 with NFC.

  • +3

    Just got the Mi Max. Son has iPhone 4 which has carked it, so thought I would upgrade to this and let
    him have my Redmi Note 2. Probably gonna look like d**k when I put the phone to my ear to make a call, its huge! ;) lol

    p.s Thanks OP.

  • +1

    FYI, if you are looking for Mi Max case, this is really nice, just found out from XDA site,
    iPaky Brand PC Frame Silicone Back Cover Case For 6.44" Xiaomi Max Xiaomi Mi Max
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/232001718028

    • Doesnt it come with a case

    • tinnko it comes with a basic case :)

      • not sure how will fit with the case from from gift pack but pPaky seem to be good and many good feedbacks from XDA,

        • it should do the job fine :)

    • The frame on these ipaky ones are cheap frail plastic that cracks easily. Look elsewhere.

    • I ended up going with an aluminum framed case to give the phone some more rigidity. As I am still worried I will break the phone in my pocket due to how bendy it is

  • redmi note 4 sold out :(

    • Its says still 500 left

      • Barry, maybe added more stock :)
        Just noticed it changed.

      • +1

        just checked. Still sold out…
        Edit: just worked! Got a silver one :)

    • Only the Silver one is available. Just added one to my cart to check.

      • You can add Piston 3 earphone and check out, good price for Piston 3 anyway.

  • +1

    major difference between Mi5 and Mi5s:

    mi5- Quad-core (2x1.8 GHz Kryo & 2x1.36 GHz Kryo) and 3000 mAh battery- Standard edition

    mi5s- Quad-core (2x2.15 GHz Kryo & 2x1.6 GHz Kryo) and 3200 mAh battery

    • +2

      I think it is better to get the Mi5 32GB, much better value for money.

  • Just bought a Note 4 Prime. DHL was AU$ 31.42 WTF?? But I won't mind if it comes within the 8-16 days as mentioned coz I am flying out in 3 weeks time. Fingers crossed!! Am I being too optimistic?

    • Probably, during this holiday/sale period.
      I purchased an RNP3 kate on 12/12/16, shipment info received by DHL in HK on 13/12/16, still has not updated since then. The delay is in transit from CN to HK.
      Once DHL receives it in HK, it is likely be delivered within the week from what I've read.

      • "Shipment Information Received" is basically the seller creating a shipping label. The seller then has to hand over to DHL, which these AliExpress sellers seem to take their happy sweet time with.

        Effectively that "shipment information received" is just a way of tricking AE into thinking it's been shipped out.

  • +1

    Purchased the Mi5 with DHL shipping, thanks OP.

    Have been looking them up the past few weeks, was either going to get this or pay double and get the OnePlus3 and i decided I wanted my money more than a faster phone.

  • Is there a code? I'm not getting the prices shown in this post.

    • You missed it, Mi5, Mi Max, RMN4 all sold out now, you can keep checking in case it comes back in stock. It is back in stock NOT because they add more stock but because some orders got automatically cancelled by Aliexpress payment system.

      • +2

        nah, plenty of stocks left. Just select different packages if not successful but it would costs a bit more with additional accessories.

        • Well, I mean stock at the advertised sale price.

        • @samehada: when i checked mi max, the $159.99 is still available. guess they might have added more stocks.

        • @fchis: I don't think they add more stock, just some orders got cancelled either by buyers or the payment system, their fraud prevention system is very annoying, I have orders cancelled before and lost the coupon I used for that order.

        • @samehada: whoops, that's terrible then.

        • @fchis: The annoying part is that I used exactly the same credit card for previous orders to the same buyer details and it went through. Aliexpress CSR told me they can't reinstate the order and asked me to order again. The sale is over, price increase and coupon is used, I am really pissed with them but nothing can be done.

        • @samehada: How often do you buy from AliExpress? I've never had an order cancelled or had issues with payment processing.

        • @PR0r: It is hit and miss, I have ordered many times on Aliexpress and it just happened for a few of my orders.

        • @samehada: Strange. I've placed well over 200 orders and never had that problem. I've used the same credit card since opening my account, never changed the details, it just works. Pretty sad you've had to deal with it though. Is there any way to avoid it or triggers for it?

        • @samehada: When i went through checkout, it asked me about 5 times to re-enter my cc details.. and then at the end of it, it failed.. so went through the process again which worked..

          When it failed, it gave me some sort of error message saying that the authentication server for the CC had been reset and that I had to try again. I think it's because their payment gateway is being hammered and just gives up.

        • @Vladdo: Out of curiosity, are you using AliPay?

        • @PR0r: I don't believe so, no..

        • @PR0r: I believe all the payment is through Alipay, it is the same as you pay with CC on ebay, it is processed by Paypal.

  • Got 2 Redmi Notes 3 Pro. Hopefully cash back works and phones are functional.

  • Is there a way to change the shipping method after i already bought the item? I intend to use dhl express shipping and pay for extra but for some reason shipping option is aliexpress standard shipping (21-60 days)! Im quite certain i selected dhl express during checkout process. Hope there is a way to change it.

  • Purchased MI Max Silver 32gb versoin at US $176.92 including DHL Express. I choose Us dollar currency and paid with Coles Master Credit Card (Au $245.93).
    You can save more from exchange rate conversion if you choose US dollar payment. Don't forget 7% cash rewards!.

    Thanks OP!!!

    • or 8.8% using Quidco cashback

    • which card are you using? does they charge you for oversea transaction fee/ Currency conversion fee?

      • +1

        28 degrees, bankwest zeo mastercard, coles master card. None charge currency conversion and the rates are on par with xe.com

  • -5

    Correct me if wrong but none of these offer dual sim and micro sd expansion at same time?

    Those are the two things I want in a phone.

    • I google the first one, nd find out it has all of these features, pls do some research

      • Common slot for sim 2 and sd card on redmi 3 pro.. I suppose its the same for these phones too.. Not sure though.. So either put sd card or second sim or alter the sd card form by filing it to accomodate both..

      • +1

        @ zlasuka

        U might need to google that first one agian cause your wrong…it uses slot 2 sim for sd card, so its one or the other.

        • Apparently there is a way to mod it to use 2 sims and the cd card. Try googling that ;) I personally wouldn't bother though.

  • mix luks brilliant

  • Is the black Mi5 sold out already or it wasn't on special from the start?

    • Black never appeared in stock for me

  • Can I get some opinions on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (32GB/3GB) camera and overall performance compared to a flagship phone? Thanks

    • After watching some reviews I went with the Note 4. DHL was about $30 AUD…. had to close my eyes and turn away while clicking checkout.

      • Did the same great phone for price and also got the Ali express credit on checkout through the app (coupons on start screen) about $12.50 additional pretty much same as cashrewards etc but immediate which I prefer a lot more.

  • Got a Mi5 with DHL

  • I can see Mi5 eBay price of $320 may be faster delivery than this seller.. Any reason why so many jumped up & bought from AliExpress?

    • The prices were insane, the seller was legitimate, problem with ebay is you 9/10 times get a fake phone and it ends in tears
      I can see paypal is the real protection on ebay though vs AliExpress but in all honesty I have never really had an issue

      The Mimax was 226 and then ~30 shipped via DHL so a good phone for 250 shipped via DHL is definately better than any ebay site.

      • he said Mi5, not Mi Max

        • +1

          doesn't matter..i wouldn't be buying off ebay vs a trusted seller

  • +3

    Thanks op. Pulled the trigger on a mi max. Coming from a Samsung note 3 that startING to have issues. Paid for DHL. Fingers crossed

  • I have bought Mi Max with DHL shipping service and I have never bought from Aliexpress before,
    how am I going to get DHL tracking number and I did mistakenly add P.O Box address,
    I did message to seller to change the address but still no reply from the seller, must be very busy with thousands of orders,
    I never worry with Paypal payment but with Aliexpress, YES, fingercorss

    • +1

      i have ordered with aliexpress before and dhl and put a po box. they end up messaging you asking for a diffenrent address before they send.

      the stupid thing for me was - where i am in sydney , dhl dont deliver to and it gets contracted out to startrack (auspost) so i could have used a po box but dhl obviously dont look that far ahead.

      • Startrack delivers to P.O Box and DHL don't, and most of week days I am at work, :-(

  • +1

    Any undecided shoppers afraid of missing out can relax because there are other phones available able to contest the A$221 Mi Max that has 6.44" screen 4850mAh 3GB/32GB at Dreami

    A$225.40 undiscounted Redmi Note3 Pro Prime SE 5.5" screen 4000mAh 3GB/32GB but w/ B28

    A$217 w/ US$2 store coupon Redmi 4 Pro Prime 5.0" screen 4100mAh 3GB/32GB

  • +1

    Mi Max purchased. Thanks OP..

  • Boo hoo! Ali Express closed my order due to 'security concerns' and want me to submit pictures of my drivers licence, credit card and statement. Is this common / legit? Although the purchase still shows up on my credit card as 'Transaction Pending'

    • Happened to me too :( Also card says pending.

  • +4

    Just got an email from Aliexpress saying, Your Order 8XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX has been shipped (Not DHL)

    • They always say it's shipped pretty quick, without actually shipping it…

      • Yeh i'm aware of that.
        hoping it arrives by the end of Jan….

      • They've been known to surprise though

  • Just got a message that I need to pay another $30USD to DHL as I am classed as living in a remote area.
    I live less than 10km from Hobart Airport.

    Have asked them to send the Mi Max via the Free Shipping method.
    Looks like I am gonna have to wait a while for it.

  • I am so upset as they closed my mi max order due to their stupid security reasons and ask me for copy of my passport, credit card and its statement. I used the same credit card for my previous order and it was all fine and why is this happening?

    I am not going to buy from aliexpress again. I cancelled all my other orders (Screen protectors and cases) and as soon as I get refund. I will close down my aliexpress account. I don't want to share my personal information (Passport, Credit card information and Statements) with Chinese company at all cost.

    Well, Good Bye Aliexpress.

    • I have never had an issue
      seems quite strange.

  • Just got a email to say aliexpress is tracked with cashrewards and DHL shipment is on its way from Hong Kong :)

  • +2

    Wow, cashrewards is pretty good. Have been in OZb a few years but never used it… until this order. yay! Will use all the time now.

    Also, a charge of $5.66 appeared in my bank account for int. transaction. boo-hoo for that.

  • +1

    Tracking been added. Being sent from Hong Kong. Anyone know how long it will take? Normally DHL is 2-3 days at maximum from Hong Kong but given it's between Christmas/New Years delays could be up to a few days?

    Also first time using cashrewards, expecting cash back of $13.20 which is great.

  • My order was closed and my appeal has been 2 days with no reply. Its been updated to Refund is processing - so much for adding extra for DHL shipping in hopes that I'd get it earlier too. What phone around $400 AUD shipped is as good as Mi5s? (SD 821/3000mAh+/~5inches/QC3.0)

  • +1

    My DHL tracking has been updated, and will be delivered by end of day 2/1/2017. Can't argue with that..

  • +1

    My DHL tracking shows the phone has been picked up by DHL as well…

    This store (Dreami) seems to be much quicker than the one I bought RN3 Kate from in the 11.11 sale

    Edit:Holy Smokes the delivery estimate is end of day tomorrow

    • This seller is great, have used them several times :)
      Sadly the 11.11 sale is so huge that most stores get slammed and its luck weather or not your order gets away first. Personally when I order on the 11.11 sale, I expect the items to arrive sometime before Christmas. Keep us posted on delivery time!

      • The 11.11 guy was slow to despatch the item, once DHL got it it took all of 2 days…

        So now it's a countdown…either I get it tomorrow or it's after the NY holiday

        • DHL shows the delivery date: 30/12/16 but latest update was still at HongKong at midnight,
          don't think today, it'll be 3/1/17, but seller has done quick shipping,

        • @tinkko:

          Indeed looks like that

      • I ordered 27th, delivery due by the 3/1/2017
        I can live with that

  • Does anybody else have their estimated delivery today (30/12/2016)?

    Pretty sure it's a glitch though.

    • Where does the tracking say it is?

      • After entering my tracking number on DHLs website on the top right corner it says "Estimated Delivery: Friday, December 30, 2016 By End of Day"

    • Tuesday, January 03, 2017
      By End of Day

      you wont get it today, it would not cleared customs and theres no way it will pass through Australia that fast.
      Someone has borked something

    • estimated delivery today (30/12/2016), latest update said leaving form Hong Kong at 12:40 today,

      • Pretty much same as mine. It must be a glitch, it can't be delivered by today.

        • package arrived in Sydney, waiting for custom clearance, dhl updates

        • @tinkko:oh lucky. Yours may coming today then if lucky but it is festive season so maybe not.
