My friend had a problem with gearbest for a £180 phone. Problem on delivery, came to UK but sent back because they couldnt deliver. They were making it hard for a refund but he was covered by his credit card company.
ibuygou is also a good place to buy from

I'm looking for a second phone for work (currently using Galaxy S4) so what would people recommend? Don't want to spend more than £150 and battery life is the main thing I'm bothered about.
Should I just get the Redmi 3S or what about the Mi MAX?

My phone was ~$200, was sent using their flat rate shipping (which I think is their free one?) + $5 insurance. Did not get charged for Customs and arrived to me in about 6-7 days.

Do you get a discount for first time users of the aliexpress app? What sort of discount are we looking at?

Get it,well worth the money.
Will you get smacked with any import charges buying from them with their included free delivery?
Finding it hard to resist a Redmi 3s for £107.52.

That looks a great price. I'm tempted by the 2GB version for £125. Gearbest's deal for the same phone is now £145 not £125 as their flash sale has ended on the 2GB note 4. It says free shipping as well.
Has anyone used geekbuying before?
Trigger pulled on a Redmi 3S 3GB/32GB in grey. Not bad for like £108. Gone for snail mail too as i'm not in a major rush for it to arrive, might land around my bday time which is brucey bonus!
Should be a decent upgrade from my 1st Gen Moto G 8GB with smashed screen!

Which site did you order it from? Just wondering as I'm after a different model but not sure what site to order from.
Bought a Redmi Note Pro 3 from one of the ebay sellers linked in this thread and it arrived yesterday however I haven't been able to use it. The main problems are:
- The phone won't read my sim card, just says no service. It recognises my number though.
- The camera won't work, returns the error can't connect to camera.
- Unable to add a google account.
It came with Miui 8.0.1.0, but flashed it to other versions (8.0.5.0 and 7.3.2.0) but the problems remain. Think the phone is a dud. A bit annoyed, but have high hopes for this phone so will get this refunded and purchase another one.

See it on gearbest @ £117.01 atm silver/grey models the golden one is £112, maybe used some vouchers to get it to that price, gearbest claim 30% flash price sale though.
Have to admit if I was gonna grab a phone right now it would be the Redmi 3S, ticks most of all them boxes its a whole lot of phone at that price really.
Will however wait till next spring/summer by then samsung galaxy 8 and Mi6 will be out and hopefully more options.

Best to use CC or PP? About to pull the trigger on this too.
Also, i see on the shipping options you might get stung on the faster methods, how likely is that to happen? Might just get it sent airmail otherwise.
