Thanks for confirmation.
That is what i was hoping based on the information on the website, but i'd not really looked at it properly until just now.

Well, according to 'Google', Takeley is a village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England, which is interesting!
Will they still use DHL to ship it on to you, I wonder, or perhaps the (presumably) cheaper option of Royal Mail, now that it is actually in the UK?
This shipping business can get quite complicated at times, can't it!

They use DHL once in the UK too.. this is how 'you' dont get charged VAT/customs.. if they did get caught at customs then the delivery point at Takeley would get the charge and not you..

It is signed for in Takeley then sent out again via DHL to your address.
That's how mine arrived via TopOne on Aliexpress and a friends as well.

How much longer did you have to wait for delivery, once it was signed for at Takeley?

Wouldn't I need a new tracking number though?
Soldato
Couple of days.
He sent me both when my phone was despatched.

I got worried today. As it said mine had been delivered and signed for. But no one was at home,then earlier tonight I got an email (signed up to Dhl notification) saying it is out for delivery tomorrow.

It looks as if a few of us are expecting to receive a new phone today!
Mine is now out for delivery by Royal Mail, with our regular postman, so hopefully no problems there!

AAAAAHHHHH. Downloaded MiPC suite today and although it knows the phone is there it cant back it up or do anything as it says my version of MiUI is too old. From a previous conversation on here it turns out im not on an official rom but i am on one from that im assuming the vendor put on it when i bought it from coolicool. My phone is the Redmi Note 3 (not pro) so im on the mediatek version and cant get official global rom and will have to make do with china rom and add google etc. I want to get rid of this custom rom and put an official one on as i cant update from the phone itself as it says i have the latest version and MiPC suite said the same thing although i know this is not the case. Can I assume the bootloader is already unlocked if it doesnt have the official rom? Also if MiPC suite cant backup my phone would mobile GO be ok to do it with or should i download something else. Mobile GO recognises the phone and even suggests it can do a one touch root of the phone. Anyone else use it?

My note arrived today.
Location setup I cant find UK. I know we have voted Brexit, but surely we are still on the map. lol

I just use Spain, some reason it doesn't have the UK yet. Doesn't affect anything so don't worry.

Strange decision as UK is there by default in AOSP?

Just trying to find out how to root it.
