What country you in?

Russia

Always check if a chink phone supports your country's bands before buying

yeah, I've seen that

popular phones are good with 4g here

I've heard people requesting unlocking bootloader on some website, what's up with that?

Some phones need unlocking if you want to flash custom roms on there

If my phone comes pre-installed with the international rom I dont need to worry about that though

r-right?

Do many sellers on Aliexpress accept paypal? Because most sellers from what I've seen, apparently don't.

Never had issues with using paypal before

So I just need to contact the seller if I can pay with paypal and that's it?

> contacting chinks

But when I want to place the order I don't get the paypal option.

Then they likely do not accept it sadly l:

AliExpress doesnt have the option to pay with paypal yet

If you want to pay with paypal try the countless other chink sites that do

@Tribit could you recommend a few chink sites that accept pp?

In no order, Banggood, Gearbest,FastTech,, Ibuygou

Honorbuy

there's a lot

@Tribit Right, thank you

It also depends what you're looking to buy @Deleted User 😄

@Deleted User yeah I guess it does. But a bit of everything really.

Gearbest is mainly for electronics

you can sometimes check ebay for chinkshit too, they have just about everything

banggood same as Gearbest, mainly electronics

@Deleted User Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

@Stoopeedo Xiaomi phones require you to submit a request for unlocking the bootloader

If it passes, they give you a download link for the tool

Also I can't really think of why someone would buy a non-chinkshit phone in Russia right now

Our electronics prices are overpriced as fuck

well, I don't have any experience with chink phones so I'm vary of them

True

plus having basically no warranty

I'll admit I just got mine from a reseller because I needed one right away

even though I've never used it on anything I own

Still cheaper than buying overpriced junk at Svyaznoy or wherever

what's the customs limit anyways?

1000 euros?

I think so? Haven't checked in a while.
