well everything is more expensive up there so it would be sorta unfair if you had to pay the same there than you have to pay here

Well I am getting the A2 lite, it has warranty if I order it locally. Okay so let me explain the scenarios

a2 meaning phone?

1 I get chinkshit phone locally, its the 32GB ROM, 3GB RAM version, 230 euros. But I do get 2 years? probably 1 year local warranty,

like a xiaomi a2 is that a thing?

2. I get it at GearBest, the 64GB ROM and 4 GB RAM model. 152 euros, probably 50 eur in tax. so 200 euros.

So for a cheaper price, even if taxed, I get a phone with 1GB more RAM and 30 GB more ROM.

Yeah its a phone.

I guess I shouldnt be worried since thats fine.

I barely ever used warranties, trust the Xiaomi stuff to work as it should. Obviously me being a retard and dropping it isnt covered by warranty.

that said, I probably will use GB less if they splerg.

i have a mi mix 2 for almost 1 year now and its fine

even dropped it on day 2

Probably a good flagship phone.

well good luck on your order

thanks. For the record Germany is lucky in this. All of the big merchants offer German Express where they take care of taxes for you. Here its manual and outdated.

Checked my last GB order

They sent it with the legit value, but they checked the gift box...

this is contradictory to what their support said.

probably just a happy little accident

dont get taxed below 40 dollars anyway

couldnt have foreseen that happening when they were making a statement on record on their wiki

I was scared when I got two routers worth 40 dollars from GB since thats just the limit, but turned up fine

ah well, I hope its just public apperance.

Will report back on it if anyone even cares. I mean, its not like a ton of people already did this. *they did, a lot of people bought phones from GB...

sure, good luck 😃

What 18650s for a long run time on convoy s2+/C8

30Qs

samsung

nice

@bap I got some Panasonic ones, NCR18650B, they are like 3400 mAh real capacity and the juice is so much I rarely charge my Convoy S2

they also got circuit protection (under-,over-charge and fast depletion) on them, which fits in the Convoy, so I have protection on the battery and in the circuit board of convoy. It will probably never explode.

you probably dont need to pay the extra for this, I just got it since I use dodgy fake LED flashlights with that non-cree brand called latticebright too with shit-tier solder which I dont trust has proper circuit boards

Ye I may buy this

Should be good, I bought LiitoKala when I got them too, Turkey Post somehow smuggles them onboards to airmail.

liitokala seems to take a long time to ship items though

Be aware about the prices, it can be ridiculously high. These are Japan imports so you want a large-scale Chinese importer as proxy.

small ones take outrageous cuts
