      • Unlucky mate. I ordered Sunday and has been shipped out today.

        • Has yours actually left yet? I ordered Sunday as well and received a DHL tracking notification on Wednesday (10:50am HK time).
          The status hasn't changed since then: "Shipment information received" Shipment ready for dispatch
          Makes me feel they just scanned an empty satchel and are waiting for stock to arrive.

        • Same seller? I can't even get a reply to a message… I also ordered sunday.

        • The listing says anything you can add to cart is in stock. Apparently not the case. They place order with xiaomi after we ordered.

        • @gerenuk: (profanity), you're right. I mistook the DHL tracking notification with it actually being shipped but it was just that they received the shipping information. The status on aliexpress is that it is awaiting delivery. Messaged the seller and waiting for a reply now. (profanity) hell got me excited about my new phone too.

        • @db1983: As I told @gerenuk:

          you're right. I mistook the DHL tracking notification with it actually being shipped but it was just that they received the shipping information. The status on aliexpress is that it is awaiting delivery. Messaged the seller and waiting for a reply now. FFS got me excited about my new phone too.

        • @kampua: Yeah, I was mistaken. It hasn't shipped ffs. So basically what you're saying is they order it from Xiaomi then wait for it to deliver to them then deliver to us?

    • @db1983 I got the same email. I accepted their offer.

      • I accepted their offer, but it hasn't ship yet.

  • Bought a global version instead from this deal -

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/395756

  • I messaged the seller to ask why mine hasn't been shipped after 5 days of 'awaiting shipment'
    They have responded and said I am in a 'remote DHL area' and I need to pay an extra USD$30. I'm in the tweed area about 1.5hrs south of Brisbane.
    Cancelling order.

    • I ordered mine on Sunday and a few days ago I thought it shipped but I was mistaken as it was just that DHL 'received shipping information' and it has been on 'awaiting delivery' all week. I just messaged the seller now and hope its not the same situation as you are in as I live about 20 mins away from Melbourne CBD so that would be pretty (profanity) stupid. Was really eager to be getting a new phone next week or week after too so all I can do is hope right now.

      • 'received shipping information' is a good sign DHL have accepted it. So you would be right.
        Ended up ordering from gearvita for US$191 shipped. Hopefully that order goes smoothly!

  • I just received an email responding to my acceptance of a black one. My acceptance was few days ago.

    • Im going to wait a few more working days and if not yet delivered, I will cancel.

    • Same here. Disappointing.

  • Hi Guys,

    Any (ebay) link for case and screen protector for Redmi Note 5. I searched quite a bit but couldn't find a good one from local seller. I asked a seller and they said they're not selling for this model.

  • The op seller does sell the case and protector. I always buy them with the phone.

  • Has anyone who bought this deal had the phone actually delivered?

    • I'm expecting mine to come at the end of next week. They dispatched via DHL on Friday and was given tracking code- sent from HK

  • Mine has just been marked as shipped.

    • Sun 19-Aug Ordered black version (assumed it's in stock and will be shipped DHL Express)
    • Wed 22-Aug Received DHL shipping notification - "Shipment information received" / Awaiting dispatch
    • … 4 support requests submitted, in the last one threatened with a dispute
    • Mon 27-Aug reply:

    Sorry for late reply,
    We have contact with the shipping company,
    The reply they will solve this problem in two days.
    If you have any problem, please contact with us
    Regards
    Ruby

    so, hopefully it will leave HK on Wed. what a joke

    • They better pick up rest of the parcels that's awaiting dispatch

    • Are you serious? At least they replied to your message… I sent 3 support requests threating a dispute and did not get any reply. Was just about to open a dispute right this minute but kinda glad I saw your comment. Absolute joke indeed.

    • Finally dispatched yay, apparently at Wed 29-Aug 2:52am (local time?)
      Estimated Delivery to Sunshine Coast: Monday, September 03, 2018 By End of Day

      • Yep, mine also. Guessing they dispatched them all today.

        • Mines still shipment info received sigh

        • @dingdong3000: :( hope yours updates. Mine has estimated delivery of tomorrow.

        • @tfg: nope still shipment info received and their lying excuse in response was this below..

          ‘Dear friend
          Thank you very much for your inquiry!
          Due to typhoon, dhl delivery efficiency is reduced,but they will do best to ship your order,please don't worry
          For the Processing Time: ’

      • Your in good hands once DHL confirm they actually have it

        I know it was included free this deal but I'm always happy to pay more for DHL - it's worth it

  • Good price, but my Redmi Note 3 Pro is still going strong.

  • Ordered on 20 Aug 2018 and Delivered on 30 Aug 2018. 10 days for DHL delivery. Hm…

  • How to check whether the bootloader is dodgy?

    • Bootloader is unlocked?? What do you mean by dodgy??

  • I am aware that some vendors flash phones with dodgy ROMs, not sure if there's dodgy bootloader. Just a guess.

    https://gist.github.com/trietptm/3d789ba61ad767bd4efd9aab36e…

    • Don't think its dodgy. Gonna flash lineage on it.

      • This is apparently Chinese version flashed with Global Rom so bootloader is unlocked too. Global version has 2 extra bands we don't use in AU but we'll never be able to lock bootloader nor pass safetynet on these Chinese version.. which kinda sucks. Having second thoughts about getting from this vendor grr

        • They have changed their listings to say "global rom" and "global version".
          https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Redmi-Note-5/3010045_…

          I ordered just over a week ago and havent heard a thing from them since. They don't reply to messages.

        • @Duff5000: they’ve always had the global model on their listing and global rom is CN model which is the cheaper one. There’s no free DHL anymore on their lisiting..

          Dhl delivered mine Sunday which was surprising.

        • Ahh your right, i was going by the screenshot from when i bought it which just says "in stock". That is shown only when you select a model.

  • Ordered 9 days ago, messaged them 5 days ago to ask what is happening and they havent replied once.
    Messaged them several times since, still no reply.

    Useless seller.

    • Threaten to open a dispute and if they don't reply within next day just file it. I'm sure that will get their attention. Was yours with free DHL ? Which colour you order? I think they were sending message to people to swap for black due to them having no stock for gold or something last week.

      • Ordered gold as it was the cheapest, said it was in stock and will be in a case 24/7 anyway.

        I havent heard anything from them at all.

        • Yeah they sent message who bought Gold and asked if people were willing to swap for Black.. Most agreed. Delivery is fast once DHL has the package. I would file dispute giving false detail that item's in stock.

  • I got my phone yesterday. It was shipped 10 days after order when I messaged them, then received few days later.

    • I agreed to changed from other colour to black, guess that might helped.

      • Same here, ordered around 12 days ago, delivered via DHL last Sunday. Didn't knew DHL do deliveries on weekends too.

        • Hey guys, was the bootloader unlocked when you got it? Mine shipped yesterday (at last).
          Thanks.

        • +1

          @ozoner: Yes bootloader unlocked.

  • +1

    I ordered (gold) on 27/8. It's now 7/9 and I'm still waiting for dispatch. I have sent several "come on guys get your sh!t together" emails - have had 2 "don't worry, we are taking good care of your order, blah blah" emails but still waiting. No mention of the need to swap for black (which would be fine). This seller is awful, never again. I'd open a dispute, but I'm scared they won't send my phone! (which must be close to being shipped now, SURELY).

    • same

      • +3

        I think its a supply issue with Redmi Note 5 Pro in general and not this seller being dodgy. I ordered from a different trusted Aliexpress seller and had exact same experience. The previous 6 Redmi phones I’ve ordered form Aliexpress (including from this seller) all arrived in days.

        If they admit they don’t have stock then they’re forced to refund you so they just ignor your messages until the processing time expires, then if still no stock they mark as shipped and give you the shipping ID of an empty DHL satchel and feed you stories about DHL having issues.

        Reading the Australian feedback it’s a mixed bag of really slow shipping and really fasting shipping stories. If you tally up all their orders it looks like they’ve sold nearly 20,000 of the things so they’re not a tiny operation

        It all sucks but nothing you can do but wait I guess. All my threats to open disputes were ignored and I couldnt open an official one anyway because either the allowed shipping time hadn’t elapsed or they said the issue was with DHL (it wasnt)

        You should love the phone when you get it though, it’s great.

        • Yea, a bit sucked especially when they list DHL included. I hope they do ship it soon.

        • +1

          @fchis:

          hear you - I paid extra for DHL and was well pi5sed off

        • +1

          My current theory is that maybe they DO have the phone in stock (or at least can go buy it from xiaomi quickly), but it takes 15 days (360 hours) to unlock the bootloader so they can install the global rom (as per details on the lineageOS website). Which is why we get all the excuses and non-contact. Trying to justify this madness….

        • @ozoner:

          that does explain it well - indeed I'd say that's exactly why

          Mine was a little different, came with global ROM with bootloader locked 2 months ago so maybe they had different supply probs then. It took exactly 13 days to arrive

        • my order is sitting at "Shipment information received"

          Did you actually get tracking while it was in transit or did it just arrive out of nowhere?

        • @Duff5000: Once DHL picks it up they are very quick with delivery. I had 'Shipment info received' for at least a week.

      • update: they have just shipped my order.

        Order Date: 28 August 2018
        Shipped Date: 11 Sept 2018 with tracking status 1 Shipment information received HONG KONG - HONG KONG 11:28

        So I would expect 2 weeks processing time for now.

        • That doesn't mean it is shipped, only that the have filled out the paperwork for DHL. My order has said that since Friday and still nothing saying DHL actually has the product. Dingdong3000 above said their order sat like that for "at least a week"

        • @Duff5000: what a pity…

        • @fchis:
          I ordered mine on the 30/8 and it said it shipped on 7/9. Still haven’t received it.

        • @Kevin6300: 26th for me.

        • DHL site now has updated for me, says it was scanned there this morning with an ETA of tomorrow.

        • @Duff5000:
          Yeh me too

        • @Duff5000: good for you

        • update: I've received the order today.

          Order Date: 28 August 2018
          Shipped Date: 11 Sept 2018
          Order received date: 18 Sept 2018

          Time : door to door —>3 weeks

  • Just asking. What happens when I am not at home to receive the parcel? Does it go to the local post office?

    • If you go to tracking you can organise to leave it at a DHL pickup facility (mine is a newsagent just up the road, open 7 days - convenient).

  • Hey Guys,

    This deal seems over now. DHL is $17+ and the handsets have gone up.

    I found this on Ebay:
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/32GB-microSD-Kit-Xiaomi-REDmi-NO…

    Comes with some unbranded 32GB SD too but I'm assuming that's crap.

    Ends up being $247.40 using the 10% Ebay code (PLenty10) & after cash rewards

    $11 more than this deal but AU stock and delivered within just a few days.

    Not sure if it's global? Any thoughts?

    Just an update, DO NOT update miui on this phone if you plan on updating to a custom rom - the installed OS comes without anti-rollback installed, but when you do an OTA update, it installs the anti-rollback feature, making it tough (but not impossible) to install custom roms. (ask me how I know this…. sigh.)

    • How…. do you know this ;)? But yeah it should be made clearer but I just didn't connect to internet until I flashed LineageOS.

      • I figured I'd wait until lineage 16 (android pie) was released, which should be soon given the beta version is available (since you're gonna need to wipe the phone for 16 if you install 15.1 now), and run miui with Nova launcher until then. I didn't read about antirollback until too late.

        To be honest I'm not sure I will bother going Lineage now, without a REALLY good reason, Miui is actually pretty nice! The phone is wonderful for the price, I am actually delighted with it. Not so much with the seller's shipping shenanigans :)
