Default Where can I buy a Nexus 7 in UK that will ship to EU?

Hi.

I'm looking for a Nexus 7 but I can't seem to find any place which can ship to Denmark, I stumbled across Clove but £224 for the 8 gig version is just too much.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

my honest answer is DONT!!!!

At the moment there is to many hardware issues with the device.
-Screen separation
-Screen Flicker
-Light bleads

Imagine. on average (on xda) people are replacing their n7 about 2 times.

how much money youre going to spend on postage just to get a good unit?
Fair enough you might get a good unit at first time but you never know.

just wait till its going to be released in your country.

I was planning on buying online but decided not to just due to the cost of sending it back (for example had my Galaxy nexus shipped back twice and had to pay for it).

Oh well, I might wait.
Does these problems really occur that often

What did you pay for yours on eBay?

Mate, you rarely see people happy with their devices on xda. People come here to whinge and mod. My device is perfect and there are plenty others without problems.

well if you look through the topics there is more issues than positive things here.

main problem on n7 is screen flickering. this is definitely hardware issue and everyone has that, however, not everyone is so OCD about it. I'm on my 3rd one now and I have screen separation (it doesnt bother me that much tho as i can sort it out myslef), however there is "microscopic" flickering. 95% of people I would show it to probably wont even notice it yet to me its just friggin pain in the ass.

.

Because those who are happy with their device, don't post. They're busy enjoying their devices. Don't discourage others who will more than likely get a perfect device because a select few who have problems. It is very unfortunate that you have had problems and I hope you finally get one that you are pleased with.

As for the flicker. It is not 'definitely' hardware. The one x had similar issues with the tegra 3 GPU. It was solved with an ota update. I had that issue and my one x is perfect now. We in the one x forums were certain it was hardware. Loads of flaming and difference of opinions and it was sorted with a small update - I hope you guys with issues will get the same treatment.

Well if I have to buy from eBay I might just wait till it hits Denmark, >200£ is just too expensive for my taste. :P
