Hi All,
Thought I'd just a give quick review of how my purchase went from Tobysdeal.
I was pretty hesitant to purchase from them to be honest, especially for such a high priced item.
Basically I got the S20+ 5G snapdragon model for AU$1,063.05 (plus I used shopback).
I'm not going to review the phone cause I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I made the purchase on the website on the 1st of September, and the money was deducted immediately.
I received an update that night my order was being prepared.
2 days later I received 2 emails, the first saying my order was shipped and the second with tracking.
I used the basic free shipping, no insurance. Tracking is through DPEX and once it reaches Australia track it through Toll Global.
It was shipped from Hong Kong on 3rd September at night, and delivered to me in Melbourne (during lockdowns) on the 8th September. I thought it was incredibly quick.
The phone itself was fine, fully sealed. For what it's worth, it appears to be a Taiwan model. No issues at all, very happy with the product. This model also came with a clear case, which was handy considering I'll be using it only at home for the next month and a bit at least.
All in all, just letting people know my experience, as I said I was very unsure if I wanted to buy an import, however I had a great experience.
If you have any questions fire away.
Cheers
My only issue buying a 5G phone from HK or China where Tobydeals source their phones is that it doesn't have all the 5G bands that are available in Aus.
Otherwise I would love to buy the Snapdragon Version and not 100% sure if this will even be noticeable though.
