Bought mine through Swappa, haven't had any issues whatsoever; but as others have indicated there are risks for buying from a 3rd party intermediate. Granted I got mine for about $400 for the midnight model, but I'm sure that is still possible for you in Canada too but it looks like the Midnight model is out of stock?

In Canada you're going to pay a lot more than that. I paid $820 all in for my new one from OnePlus, but sellers on Kijiji wanted $650 to $750 for a mint condition used one.

Ordered mine 128GB from Gearbest on Aug 31th, and the tracking website wrote today "Departure to country of destination". I don't understand if it's from China or from Europe (need to reach Italy)... let's hope !!
Got it now ! The phone is perfect, I got an adaptor for the power supply.
The phone has been touched by someone, probably it's because it was with Hydrogen and they put Oxygen on it...

I will play with it a bit and let you know if it's still ok.

yea that might be , they have to check if the device is working. i told them to not flash oxygen os because before i ordered a phone on geekbuying wich had a fake rom after an attempt to update the phone was hard bricked and was simply dead.

oh man im so excited :fingers-crossed: ordered at 12th got shipped on the 15. but i still cannot track my order...

Given that the price difference between Gearbest and OP is tiny, you get 2 day delivery and a 15 no questions asked return policy, why would anyone buy anywhere other than the OP website? Maybe elsewhere in the world it makes a difference, but for North America the decision seems pretty slam dunk, particularly if you can be bothered for 3 min to create an edu email address.

the price difference here in europe is 140€ (167 dollar) i think thats pretty good... i agree on the delivery time though i can take up to 2 weeks (depends on wich delivery method you choose ) i first tried to create an edu email but i couldnt . where can i create one ?

I got the global version: as far as I know, except for the software, there's no difference between Chinese and Global (in the past there was the issue with the band 20)

BTW, I tested it a bit and I can say it's perfect !
And yes, I got it in 15 days but I spent 130€ less than buying it directly from OP... of course warranty can be the only reason to buy it from OP instead from China

I ordered the soft gold 64gb from oneplus. I am expecting to have it Monday next week. After searching for cases, I am a little regret about the soft gold color, this is due to the obvious reason that the cases in the market are for the dark color phone. Any suggestions of the case?

i got this one today : https://www.amazon.de/OnePlus-Elast...qid=1505943389&sr=1-6&keywords=oneplus+5+case

the qualitiy is ver good, unfortunatly i dont have the phone yet to show how it will look with this case.
but i have to tell you that this case is not compatible with a few tempered glass screen protectos ( like the official oneplus one ). but since i will use the flexible airglass screen protector it should be fine.
