Where to buy international version of Pixel in US?

[BrianInfo]

I wonder if I can purchase the "rest of the world" version of Pixel from US google store or any US store? Main reason is its support of frequency bands. Thx.

The only unlocked Pixel version you can buy at the moment is from google store online

There is no "international version", it's the same phone across the globe with the same baseband support.

Is it? Because As far as i can see the international version doesn't support LTE band 40, which Indian version does support.
US: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone
India: https://www.flipkart.com/google-pix...LSTMOBEMV9S9NMEZVZVVPLFQ8&qH=ab4086ecd47c568d

Also, I confirmed the same from Google Store Customer Care.

Ah, I didn't realise the US version had no Band 40 support.

In that case no, there's no way to buy the RoW version off Google in the US, and I doubt any major retailers would import it. You're best looking at eBay or a specialist importer I reckon.

Yeah, they support that, but for US, they are selling a version without band 40 support, whereas for some other regions, they are selling with band 40 support. This is what the customer service people told me.
