i ordered from aliexpress. I am from holland. The seller took 7 days before sending, but when he did, it was here(Holland) in my home, in 4 days.

I also used DHL and had to pay tax before getting package though

And how much tax did you have to pay? Mine is sent and is in some china office now

You should definitely order from Top-One at Aliexpress. They have great customer service, and if you choose DHL shipping, there's no taxes or customs duties in EU.

That's not bad at all then. Hopefully i won't get any tax or a little like you did. Btw did you get a QC 3.0 charger or do you use the stock one?

Xiaomi doesn't add a QC 3 charger because of costs. I use a normal charger here, not the one in the box. Charges fast enough for me.

 

[mmicoo]

charging is extremly fast...from 14% to 100% cca 1h15min. Fast enough for me

i use a QC 3.0 from Blitzwolf: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/BlitzWolf-18W-QC3-0-Certified-USB-Charger-EU-Adapter-Fast-Quick-Chargers-With-Power3S-Tech-For/32714216668.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_116_10065_117_10068_114_115_113_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10060_10061_10062_10056_10055_10037_10054_10059_10032_10099_10078_10079_10077_426_10103_10073_10102_10096_10052_10050_10051,searchweb201603_6&btsid=8bdce2be-7f12-4c0f-a4f6-875b0e35a5b5

And is it much better than the stock one? i'll get a charger in my origin country but i need to know if it's worth, if it charges faster etc

Some days ago I timed mine while charging from 20% to 100%.
I took 1 hour, with the original charger.
Maybe if the device was off I could have save some time more.
Instead it was on and I was not using it.
It become pretty hot I could use it to iron a shirt.
Why people have so much hurry?
Is it worth spending extra money to gain...how much 5, 10 minutes?
How much more thermal stress does it put on the battery (which is not removable!) and on other precious components?

I'm from Slovenia and I also ordered from Top One Digital on AliExpress choosing DHL. Delivery in 12 days, no customs, no tax.
Then I additionally ordered QC 3.0 charger from UGreen. Works really well and had EU plug. It also comes with either Type C or micro USB cable. Choose the correct one when placing your order. I will also buy a nylon braided Type C cable from Nillkin because AFAIK it's the only one that supports 3A charging current which is more than the standard 2.4A that QC 3.0 uses for charging. And it's also a very nice cable.

Same here, ordered my Grey 4/128 on Friday, marked as shipped on Monday morning but status is still "Packed for picking up".

It's not the sellers fault, it's the busiest time of the year and I'm sure it's crazy over there. Would be good to receive it before Christmas but I'm prepared for it to arrive before new year (15 working days).

Service from the seller (Top One) has been very good so far.

Looks like I may have to spend quality time with my family over Christmas, rather than playing with my new phone all day. Booo!

i like it more then stock one, also because i have to use an extra plug to use in europe.
With the blitzwolf i charge from 30 -> 100 within 20 minutes

So you can decide yourself

Same here, ordered Mi5s grey 4/128 at 6, Shipment information received by DHL since Friday, December 09. This is waiting for pickup.
It's sellers fault also, in China they use DHL HK because it's much more cheaper to export from there.
For that they don't request DHL for pickup, they have agents reponsable to deliver the packages at Hong Kong DHL offices.
This freight forwarder agent, could be a person or a company, there are thousands individuals and companies in china just doing that, and the quality of service varies from none to high quality.
So, i'm not saying christmas have not something to do with delays, but until the package is with DHL, i could only blame Top One for it's decisions.
The truth is, i've probably choosed the best and more expensive distribuitor in the world, and i'm totaly dependent of a mediocre man in the middle at a christmas attack. LOL

I havent tried it and couldnt really help u with ur exact question. Anyways, Aukey seems like a good brand for qc3.0 (according to what ive heard) plus well pricing and amazon i believe

 

[thecresta]

For people waiting for Christmas delivery via European Union Express (myself included) - in addition to delays at HK there have been flight delays and cancellations at London airports due to heavy fog over the last two days, so you may have to wait a little longer.
