Apparently the phone was shipped on the 18th, but getting any tracking info from Giztop is proving difficult. Apparently I will have it tomorrow...

Pretty sure Giztop are just giving me the mess around at this point.

 

 

 

Ordered on the 6th with an expected shipping date of the 22nd. That then gets changed to the 30th. On the 15th I emailed and asked to change my order to the Vivo X300 Ultra instead, they said they have had a batch arrive and it'll be sent out tomorrow, I agree. I email the next day to confirm, they said it has been sent but haven't loaded the shipping details. I email again to confirm, yes we will load it for you tomorrow. I email again, no response.

The condensation in camera lens issue may be isolated, not as widespread from all the Find X9U YT videos I've seen.

I have heard this about Giztop. Things can be delayed unfortunately, but they do come through in the end I believe. They dont necessarily have all the stock on hand, and therefore source it when the orders come in. If there are delays in that process, then the delay gets passed on to you. Annoying but I have heard things do arrive eventually.
Curious why you changed to the Vivo instead? Was it purely to try and get it faster... which has backfired...?

I hope Volte and Wifi calling works for you on the Vivo. I think you would be the first on GZ to import one. Let us know if both work on your Spark sim and the possibility of being able to try other NZ telcos such as 2d and OneNZ if Volte and Wifi calling work.

I didn't end up making the switch to the Vivo as Giztop told me the Oppo had arrived early and could be shipped within 24  hours. That was a week ago and I haven't had any shipping information.

So, Giztop were telling porkies, the phone didn't ship on the 16th like they said. It shipped this morning, got the DHL notification; expected delivery Tuesday 30th.
