I guess customs would be about £40.

Well 20% VAT is around that, but the courier is likely to charge an administration fee in the region of £15 in order to pay the tax that is due.

Some stuff gets through and others get stung, its work the risk and I'll have it next week with my Chromecast

2StepSteve · 30 Jul 2013 at 22:38

You know what, I think I'll play too.

Just purchased the 32GB version for £213 with expedited shipping.

Excellent! (As long as mine turns up before yours!

Regarding battery drain when device is idle and screen off. MKBHD on Twitter says he lost 1% over night after taking it off charge before sleeping. Sounds pretty good if true.

You got to be in it, to win it. I ordered one too (32GB) but I paid £219.

Let's roll the dice!!

I think I will pre order for the UK. The price for the US version isn't far behind the UK version but it will cost more overall lol.

Good news regarding the battery!

steveo · 31 Jul 2013 at 08:23

there so few places with this on pre order

Game was mentioned and I've seen another this morning with pre-order. This seller I would expect to have stock when they go on sale.

Mobilefun have it showing as due in a week.

2StepSteve · 31 Jul 2013 at 14:33

I don't like that orb charger for the Nexus 7. A slight knock and you'll shiny new Nexus 7 will be needing a screen replacement! I'm sure in a couple of months there will be a better solution than balancing on that tiny thing!

wife is off to canada in 3 weeks, she will be staying with relatives, might get them to order one for me, she can give them the money and bring it back with her.

will obviously tell her to open it all up and bring the tablet through hand luggage to avoid customs by telling them it was bought in the UK and with her throughout the trip.

£177 for the 32GB model that way

MrZippo · 31 Jul 2013 at 15:00

I also ordered one from the states too.
I decided to opt for DHL shipping, no doubt I am going to get stung for import taxes but I just couldn't wait!

Defiant306 · 31 Jul 2013 at 15:27

Still haven't heard from Google as to the correct release date in the UK, I so want one of these!

Hutchy · 31 Jul 2013 at 15:29

Gone with ebay as well, I'm preparing for import tax disappointment.
