sorry to burst the bubble hehe but 99% you will need to pay the duty becuase that company sticks the bloody invoice on the front of the package so you can clearly see the cost of the goods...

Got contacted because the address was not completed correctly which has now been corrected. It will come by end of play Thursday as it has to go to another depot and may not get there for delivery tomorrow. Customer services have not seen a customs charge so fingers crossed!

I'm expecting to pay it so not raising any hopes. Did you get an email about the duty?

Getting ready for delivery now: Arrived at Delivery Facility in DOCKLANDS - UK DOCKLANDS - UK 12:36

I didn't

But I actually went to docklands to collect it lol

Yours should be delivered to you today I reckon

When I ordered from Fonis they promised that all duty was covered. I didn't have to pay a penny to Fedex

Cosimo · 28 Oct 2015 at 09:09

The illusive silver titans are showing up in stock at Fonis today.

Thanks for the heads up, close to pulling the trigger, just waiting to see how you guys get on.

Just got mine. Went for the titan this time

Muska · 28 Oct 2015 at 10:29

Would like to see some pictures of it in the metal if you get chance.

Cosimo · 28 Oct 2015 at 10:55

Let us know when it comes & iff it's all ok, I'm sure it will be.

Mine has been processed with gsm.me so just waiting for them to post it, I asked them how long till I got it they said 3 days. So probably Monday as It's coming to work.

How long has yours taken?

Ordered on Thursday afternoon:

Cosimo said:
This was all done Thursday afternoon (but late for them) and they were closed on Friday. Order was completed on Saturday. A shipping email arrived on Sunday. Now I'm tracking on DHL with alerts.

Others have had shipping within hours of order being placed and in stock.

Don't yet know if I've been stung for duty and it will be here today or tomorrow.

It would have been quicker ordered earlier in the week.

Did you have to pay the import duty or taxes?

Don't tease....Open the box

No, I did not pay any duty.

The black sapphire is dark but light from windows and camera made it look bluer.

It is thin and feels much lighter then the Note 4 and has a UK charger.

Now fast charging and then I'll use Smart Switch to transfer everything over.

android-fan · 28 Oct 2015 at 14:37

Was the box sealed and UK charger inside, or provided separately? N910c model?

Nice on the duty - Looks a nice device in Black, is it 64gb?

I have ordered Silver 64gb.

I have the SM-9208 but wanted the 920C.

So I have a Note 5 for sale.

Sealed (three of them), the charger is UK (but that part of the world is the same).

The charger for reference:

The phone is SM-N920C.

Ahhh so jealous that you didn't pay the duty loll

Gutted! I guess I should have waited for delivery rather then rushing to collect it. Lesson learnt

The way my invoice was written had a lot to do with it and now it is a superb bargain.
