Just got 2 x cases and 6 screen protects for $20nz (inlcuding free shipping to nz) sure it will take a month to get to me but hell better than paying $30 for 1 case

One of the cases I got

All I want to know is if they are going to have the 32gb model here or if I need to order it from the Aussie Play Store and get one of the rallies to bring it over at Christmas

Aussie out of stock, doesn't even have shipping date anymore. By 5pm on release day shipping had gone from 1-2 days to 4-6 weeks, so good luck getting one from here :-(

Saw that, i will be patient as if you have to pay $699 for a 16gb here and can get a 32gb for around $550 (with someone brining it into the country) ill do it that way.

No news on the 32GB model here yet Christmas specials might make it worth while buying here eventually.

Just got my notification too (standard 3-5day though for me, kinda regret that now). The NZPost website says YouSHop should take 7-11 working days from the US, which is... quite a while.

From previous experience it's generally about 1 week from when your parcel arrives at the Oregon youshop warehouse to when it arrives at your door.

My N5 is sitting in Oregon (it's Sunday there) and should be delivered to youshop Tuesday NZ time (Monday US time). I expect it will therefore arrive at my house Tuesday-ish next week, maybe Wednesday.

I had some stuff shipped from the states and it took less than a week but there was no issues at customs

I am quite happy with the 2D price for the phone
I just have to convince myself that I DO NOT need it - there is nothing wrong with my Nexus 4, I do not need 1080p, LTE support or some of the other 'features'

I dunno, the camera is way better than the N4, and you can still get a good price for your n4 if you put it on trademe. go on man, you deserve it

:P

Tracking indicates that mine landed here in Melbourne this morning, so hopefully will be ready for pickup later today.

Have also ordered a wireless charger which should be here later in the week

Not if you get pinged by Customs (which you will unless you lie about the value..which is not recommended).

So probably Tuesday-Wednesday next week + 3 days (to wait for letter to arrive from Customs so you can pay for it.)
