At first, I thought the OnePlus One was really big, coming from using a phone with a 4" screen.

Now I can't go back, makes browsing on websites so much easier with all the extra room

It finally arrived today. Took a lot more effort to actually get the parcel into my hands.

DHL was incompetent. They attempted to deliver to my house, which my mom answered the door. They continually insisted that I had not paid for brokerage. Well, I actually paid when they called me at 8:30am to inform how paying online ahead of time would make the transaction buttery smooth. What a load of garbage. Their systems never updated and each person I encountered at DHL reiterated that I still owe them brokerage fees.

The first guy at the counter was nice and understanding. I told him my situation and asked when their systems would be updated with the payment and he said around 11am. Then I told him the delivery guy refused to release the parcel because of that one issue ... at 4:30pm.

I was told that the delivery guy would have the parcel back at the depot by 6:45'ish, so I went home to change. When I went back to DHL @ 7:00pm, I was still being asked to pay up.

I was pretty fed up.

Should have expected it if you read this thread, many people were complaining

I didn't want the hassle since there was a chance that my mom wouldn't be home, and it would be my aunt who answers the door.

Pleasantly surprised to see the nano sim adapter come with the package.

What's more dumb about them is that when they deliver and no one is at home. Instead of leaveing it at the nearly location so you can pick it up. It gets delivery back to where the drivers came from.
So lot's of time I can't go pick it up myself if I miss the package because it got return to Richmond....... and I have to do the whole re router thing on their website to have it delivery to their depot that's near my house and that takes another day or two.....

If you paid already, I think you have to show them the payment receipt printed out etc.

For those of you that got charged duties, has any of you applied for a duties refund since mobile phones are duties free (not tax free)? There's a duties adjustment form on CBSA's website.

I got an invite today, but I don't need this phone anymore. It doesn't say if I am able to share the invite as it only shows " use" button.

Is there anyway to give it away?

I was in the same boat yesterday. Their whole wait list program/invite only program has probably cost them so many sales.

Was your phone out of battery when you do the update?

this phone is fast and battery life really lasts a long time. The first day I got my phone I upgraded to 38r and charged it up to 100% thats 2 days ago! Really worth the money.

Can you please post the link to this? I tried looking through their importing goods page and cannot see anything that relates to mobile phones. Tia
