archer613 0 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Will the fxtec phone be for sale in Canada? When? Where? Price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netman 1,424 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Pre-order online from this website is supposed to ship to Canada I believe (pre order only wants payment when the phones are actually produced). Actual sales should start in Juli somewhere. Don't know if it will be in real stores in Canada, maybe someone else can clarify. For the pre-order price is $650 or 650euro depending from where ordered (excluding shipping), I would guess if it lands in stores price would be similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This video also mentioned selling through Amazon, towards the end of the review: No way to verify if that's true or not, but interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to see your concern for the poor postman that has to be out to delver it. 😇 Let us hope you get it before it gets warm again. 😜 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Dunno how they do it in Canada, but when I lived in Alaska, mail carriers don't even get out of their right-hand drive jeeps; mailboxes have to be accessible from the street. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the Amazon thing is true I might cancel my pre-order and re-order later instead, especially if it's shipped by Amazon and Prime-able. I really don't want to deal with courier brokerage charges. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't want to deal with courier brokerage charges. It would only be available for Prime if Amazoncould have sufficient stock on hand in their own warehouses. I don't see that as being likely, though good for F(X) Tec if they got there. I don't know anything about Canadian import duties so I can't address that. In US I just paid sales tax when I paid for it at the end of July. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The real dream is the phone 😉 A bit slow to come sure and the one forum thread has gone pitchforks and torches, it's still a startup xD.

I really don't want to deal with courier brokerage charges. Amazon is the most evil merchant on the planet. On top of that, buying through any reseller will take money away from the people who did all the work on this, whom we'd all really like to have the resources to continue making non-stupid phones, since no one else does anymore. Buy direct from the people who made this possible so they're not splitting the profits with others. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We might be splitting their profits, but I'm also not a fan of the carrier applying a 50-100% of their cut to my package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a much longer story: https://trueler.com/2010/11/24/self-clear-shipment-cbsa-avoid-ups-brokerage-fee/ It's not the tax or duties that I have a problem with, it's the rip-off charges the carriers add on, which in some cases double the value of the whole thing. Last time my friend accidentally sent me something via Fedex 2-day, package was like $100, they doubled my taxes with their fees.

mahasamatman 2 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Are we caught up in the U.S. fiasco, or are there other reasons for our delays?

I have always considered them the second most evil, though thinking about it now, I can see how they could be worse. At any rate, they're both evil and both get no money at all from me in the last many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
