QUOTE(chizzu @ Jun 16 2010, 12:27 PM) update: iphone 4 pre-order in UK now ships in July 2nd  as for reserve for store pick up, it varies between stores. Most of the 32gb model are sold out I am still awaiting news from the carriers as they have yet to release their iPhone 4 "killer" plans (since all carriers are stocking in iPhone and are competing with each other) How do u know this? Anyway if i reserve my friend can pick it up for me right? |

QUOTE(chizzu @ Jun 16 2010, 06:25 PM) Orange UK has announce their iPhone price planNot really that attractive to me. Maybe i just stick to the current plan to get sim free phone You, as a visitor outside EU country, come to EU and buy stuff like branded handbags (lotsa malaysians do this) which is more than 300 pounds (i think somewhere around there, i cant remember) can claim back the VAT (value added tax) at the airport. Its like singapore GST. Before you fly back, you can go to the VAT claim counter and claim back your VAT (in cash or cheque). But you need a VAT form for it i think. You probably need to ask for VAT form from Apple. Whoa thats a bargain. Thx dude for ur help. |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jun 18 2010, 06:14 PM) The good news kept on coming. I've just made a call to Apple Store Regent Street (phone number 0044207153900), and talked to the Apple Genius on the line, and yes, he confirmed that you can nominate a third party person to pick up your iPhone 4 on launch day. The Apple Genius itself sounds so happy, and congratulates me! 24th, here I come!  Hey bro..mind sharing the procedures to nominate a 3rd party person? Cause my friend is helping me pick up the phone. |

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Jun 18 2010, 10:09 AM) not sure how things have changed since i left UK. but as far as my memory can go, the 17.5% VAT isn't net 17.5%. you actually obtain a percentage less than 17.5 (after deducting miscellaneous charges/fees). students or overseas citizen with a working visa et cetera cannot claim the VAT (but the custom officers do sometimes to check for your visa) and process your claim. but there shouldn't be any problems for tourists (afterall you are encouraged to shop there!) Damn..my friend's a student..guess cant help me claim back the VAT now..  |
