Hi,
I'm really interested in the possibility of buying a "Android Dev
Phone 1 " (--> http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html), the
only question I have concerns the shipping.
According to the site, it will be (?is?) available for order in
Germany, I can't find any information about the details though.
The price seems fair, but adding VAT + Import Taxes would add a BIG
amount of money to the final number (and a lot of hassle).
Does Google ship all of its devices from the US or are devices for
European Devs shipped from inside the EU?
Any appropriate customs duties and taxes will be added on top of the
$399 purchase price. You are correct, that this can add a substantial
the base price. However, it should not add any hassle. Is there some
specific difficulty you're referring to?
Cheers,
Justin

In my experience, it depends on what Google puts in the shipping
papers, what UPS tells the people at Customs and the mood of the
people at Customs. Sometimes you pay nothing, sometimes you pay taxes
of various kinds. I suggest Google should write "free sample, $399
administrative cost".

i placed an order for the phone and all i got in return is an email
telling me my order has been placed. there is no ups tracking number,
no estimate time of arrival, no nothing. is there a email i can write
to to check the status of my order? i tried to click on the tracking
order link in android market but it tells me i dont have any pending
order. i live in taiwan, btw, and the total amount with shipping is us
$555 and that's probably without import tax. you who live in the us
should consider urselves lucky.
regards,
walter chang

To The Netherlands "shipping and handling" is $178.90. I even got a
phone call from the fraud prevention team of my credit card's bank
today, because they apparently found it a suspicious transaction.
Well, hopefully I'll now have a functional G1 soon.

For all you people overseas, you can always send me $550USD and I'll
ship it to you however you'd like so that you don't get charged all
the import taxes. :D

tracking number? is there anyway to know the progress of our orders?

number which i dont really know what to do with (its not a ups
tracking number). any ideas?

I just tried to buy one Android Dev Phone for Spain, but when checking
out it wanted to charge me $170 shipping (UPS Innovations (Tracking) -
$170.14) with no alternative shipping method. I cancelled it, of
course. What kind of shipping could be *that* expensive? It's just
unacceptable for something that can weigh maybe 1KG at most. Not even
with insurance and any kind of "special delivery" could it be that
much.
Maybe I should stop building apps and start a shipping business :-)

"Outside the US
For Orders shipping outside the US, shipping pricing includes cost of
shipping service and the applicable customs, duties, import and
country specific other fees."
So this price is not only for a package. This wasn't obvious, at least
for me.

Not yet, but that is supposedly to come later (http://

I am having trouble making out a development roadmap for my applications in the Android Market without any ideas as to when I will be able to sell them. I realize that the apps now available must remain free, but my decisions on feature sets and possible updates are dependent on how long the wait is until I can recoup some money. I have heard "early next year". Is that the best estimate? If there is no date envisioned, is there a recommendation as to where else to go to sell Android apps? thanks, JJL _________________________________________________________________ Send e-mail faster without improving your typing skills. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_...
Too high outside US. At least in UK they must make some arrangement
with T-mobile or some means.
Outside the US

shipping service and the applicable customs, duties, import and
country specific other fees.
Int'l Shipments 1 Phone
Canada $ 264.49
UK $ 171.53
Hungary $ 199.99
Austria $ 189.99
Germany $ 178.90

Spain $ 170.14
Poland $ 210.09

I've done some sums and if you ship individual phones as separate parcels from thr US to the UK the BrightStar price is about par for the course.
My question is why aren't Google having a shipping container or two delivered to somewhere in the EU and shipping them out from there?, it's not like Google don't have offices throughout the EU (and elsewhere) that could do this locally given their office map at http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=about.html&abou...

Because i didnt get any message with any information about tracking
number i wrote to andr...@brightstarcorp.com at 10th december. They
answered very quick at the same day and provided me the ups tracking
number - "Your order has shipped."

They don't deliver on Saturdays unless the shipper buys an additional
option for delivery on Saturday. I guess you'll get it on Monday. My
order of 12-6 was removed from the tracking page today, so I guess
I'll get mine on Monday too.

Go to http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference and put your order
number into the shipping reference field and your destination and a
range of dates to cover when you ordered and you should see the
tracking details.
I placed an order on the 6th and it shows as departing on the 10th so
my guess is they are pretty swamped with orders.
I still haven't had any emails other than the original order
acknowledgement.
My tracking details show a scheduled delivery for the 17th which is
hardly what I'd call "EXPEDITED" delivery from the USA to Australia -
mind you I expect delivery before that date as it hit Sydney on the
13th.
