Depends. Sometimes they send it to me within 4 hours, other times 10 hours. Between 4-10 hours, just be patient.

I'd go with JP to get an estimate on how much it'd be. If I were you, I'd do it myself but buying the parts would take a bit of time to arrive [due to the CanadaPost strike]

I went to JP last week and they said it's $80 for the white housing everything included. I thought it was outrageous? Is this what everyone pays?

So $80 for the housing and for them to put it on?

Rip off.

Looks like they're trying to pay off that renovation by ripping off customers :troll:

The best place to order is off ebay, you can get all the same color as jp and more for much less.

True but expect shittier quality of parts compared to JP. This is coming from experience

You have been warned

Goto www.sw-box.com the screen protectors jp sold me were the same ones swbox sells. I wouldn't be surprised if the parts are the same. I've had the best experience with swbox parts.

I have a 9000. And lately I have been looking through some ebay housings and they are really dirt cheap compared to what stores can do. $5-20 for a set of housing but you just have to DIY it. Youtube already has some vids and the DIY procedure seems pretty easy. Only thing I am worried about is that if the fitment is right, quality, and flawless process of DIYing it.

Stores cost like $65+. Thats like $20 for the *best quality housing assumed* and $40 of work for 1 hour tops. Pretty rip.

Any advice on getting housing and stuff?

jeedee 06-26-2011 07:28 PM

Whatever you do..NEVER buy housings from eBay. This is coming from experience. I've ordered from eBay users in the past and they all end up being the shittiest quality ever.

Just buy it from sw-box. It might take awhile for it to arrive, but the fitment and quality is worth it.

You have been warned.

BaoTurbo 06-26-2011 07:33 PM

^Personal experience is painful but priceless. Thanks for the tip for the newb

BaoTurbo 06-26-2011 07:42 PM

You could try the cheap $7 shipping or w/e it is...it usually takes like a month LOL

BaoTurbo 06-26-2011 08:54 PM

$20 dollar shipping is really unreal. I can still take $10. Where are they shipping it from that takes so much

jeedee 06-26-2011 08:57 PM

China. They use EMS which is pretty fast, but it gets stuck at US/Canadian customs due to their packaging "style"...it actually looks like a freaking bomb is inside LOL

BaoTurbo 06-26-2011 09:27 PM

:facepalm: I don't see $7 shipping. Maybe I have to login. I used the shopping cart and went straight to Estimate Shipping costs which gave me UPS/Fedex/DHL only. I'll take a month shipping, I'm not in a hurry

jeedee 06-26-2011 09:41 PM

It should give you a shipping option called "airmail". I haven't used sw-box in awhile, so things may have changed.

Nvasion 06-26-2011 09:55 PM

Probably too cheap and slow they don't even have it anymore. Dammit gotta jew off another 20 bucks for a $20 housing. Sigh cheaper by another 20-40 bucks though

I have the white 9700 and am annoyed with it and want a iphone. It seems to be a little better now but it would freeze for a min or two when trying to switch between applications

You're probably running an older OS. This happens to alot of my blackberry newb friends that haven't/know how to upgrade their phone :lol. Try upgrading the OS and things should run smoothly.

I'm running OS 6 on my 9700 and switching apps is a breeze.

If you need any assistance on upgrading your phone, don't be afraid to ask :)
