Wondering if anyone has dealt with these guys before? They list Samsung Galaxy on www.sella.co.nz for $856 which seems good price compared to mobilecity and Clove at the moment.

Looking around looks like they import from Hong Kong / Maylasia. So if buying a Samsung Galaxy that was imported from asia versus buying from Clove.co.uk would there be any difference I guess is what i wondering?

Any thoughts?

"Imported by international tracked courier service direct to you from Original Manufacturers' Distribution Centre's."

Would the phone differ much versus one purchased from Clove etc.

that'd be 856 without shipping/tax which you'd be expected to pay on arrival, so probably still best to go with Clove for their RMA/Warranty support.

Electron-world are just a massive drop shipping organisation, their shipping is slower than Clove too, clove at the moment works out to be 855...so $1 different between them , both however would hit 1k with tax added(12.5%) + ITF fee and MAF fee($38)

I asked them about it, and from the listing it says:

"Customs Duties - Electron-World on sella pay's these on entry into New Zealand. "

"This is brand new original samsung Android no modifications, youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/v/-kCdF6wrNYk&color1 - exactly as per this official release statement from Samsung. Vodafone and 2Degrees 100% coverage"

"Free shipping within New Zealand"

So maybe not such bad deal, seems to work out the cheapest.. thinking putting an order in and will post how it goes I guess.

i know of 2 users here who have used unlocked-mobiles for galaxy s,
expertinfotech is cheapest shop within NZ, but have poor reputation for service

Ended up going with Clove, too many good reviews of Clove and the 2 year warranty, so thought worth it. Just I keep missing them with the timezone side of things, by time I reply to their emails it's night again for them so have to wait another day for reply lol.
