Added on July 4, 2012, 2:34 pmhow about hopshopgo? is anyone using it?


Added on July 4, 2012, 2:41 pmafter have a livechat with hopshopgo, it seems like the ShipForMe and BuyForMe is available for google play. The shipping rate is also much cheaper around 22.5USD for 0.5kg.

But how do we checkout with google play since it is not supported sweat.gif

Hi,

I used BuyForMe and was charge 10% services charge. If you use the following proxy http://usfreeproxy.com then you will be able to login to PreOrder at google.com/nexus/#7 then you just use HopShopGo US address that you setup in your google.com/wallet account.

Should be pretty simple.

Hi,

Well I tried to order another unit using google wallet with my credit card tied to it.

1. Initially the card was with my Malaysia billing address.
2. With USProxy I am able to go to Google Play to pre order
3. Check out with google wallet and it denied because card address is Malaysia.
4. Went into google wallet and update address to US HopShopGo address
5. Logon to google play and preorder then check out completed smile.gif
6. Got email confirmation from google play ... hurray  rclxm9.gif
7. 10 minutes Google Play cancel my order and suspend my wallet account
8.  reason - cannot verify card address  blush.gif

Hmmmm so for this to work you must have a Google Wallet account with credit card that already has been verify. So bro gin&tonic looks like no bulk order from me sad.gif

I also use HopShopGo to preorder the 16GB. This is the actual break down assuming that shipping weight is less that 1KG.

Nexus 16GB                          -          USD 249.00
Google Play shipping charge    -            USD 13.90
BuyForMe Services Charge      -          USD 24.90
ShipForMe Freight Charges Express        USD28.80
Insurance .065%                                USD 2.63
FedEX Fuel Surcharge 12%                  USD 3.40

Total                                                USD 322.63

So assuming exchagne is 3.25              RM1048/=

So the local bulk purchase @990/= is actually very cheap. We may also have problem with custom so better keep my finger cross.
