Apparently the Priv is worth �200 less unlocked than it does to buy from Carphone Warehouse. Surely shipping doesn't cost �200?

you can get an exact quote at Purolator ? Canada's Shipping Company for Courier and Freight which is the Canada Post courier. From past experience I'd guess about 60 CDN or about 30 quid
I think i'm gonna vomit all over my screen.
I've committed to �600 for the phone.

I think you also have to look at import charges
Relax, I just checked and assumed a 6x4x2 inch package with 2 day delivery to London is 113 CDN or about 50 quid. BUT shopberry or someone may export from point of sale so no Canada tax, just your import duties SO 913CDN (our cost plus shipping = 450 GBP) plus your VAT/import duties, so you are ahead of the game :)
For phones? Seriously? This is not tobacco or alcohol were importing here.

UK will certainly charge import duties of around 20% of the declared value
Ok I have a lot of amazon gift vouchers obviously in sterling will they work on the .ca site? I'm thinking of canceling my CPW order if I can save this much money

anyway if you bought it from a Canadian exporter their cost to you would be 800 CDN plus shipping of about $100, and you would likely have import duty of about 80 GBP so assuming a conversion of 2CDN = 1GBP, open a glass on Madeira in honour of Joao, and do the Maths ;)
What do you mean? CPW phones are already unlocked.
PassportSQW100-1/10.3.2.2639 O2 UK
Just think tho youll have yours 6th November ;)
Cant wait get mine and i have bought mine outright no clingy contracts haha :D
It's unlocked but I thought I could save myself a huge amount. It looks like it will save around �100 but we gotta wait a bit longer.

Wouldn't you save more by buying it from the US?
Z30STA100-5/10.3.2.2639
Yeh I was thinking that too.

I think I will suck it up and just go through with my original order although I did promise myself with my new z10 I would stick with it and I did (for 18 months).
Than I bought the Passport outright and went completely SIMO and I was quite proud of myself because I thought at the time they Passport would last me easily two years if my z10 done 18 months and I had a good deal then.
But the promise of Android came and it's what I've kinda wanted the whole time since BB10 came out and I've been one of those people moaning about apps.

now, have another glass of Madeira, Your work here is done.
You might want to hold the thought. Unlocked direct from BB is still $949. Carrier units are all locked, need to pay $50 or under for an unlock.
Also the European model is different, the LTE bands are not the same. You might have problems with that for getting a Canadian unit.
Will work out more after shipping and customs hence the starting price in UK being around 570 sterling

Just make sure it runs on UK networks, since there are multiple variations to the PRIV and you carrier bands LTE bands may not be supported.
Note that the Canadian Blackberry store does not ship outside Canada.
I'm probably sticking with my original order with CPW if I can have confirmation I can choose Netflix as my entertainment package. I just spoke to a sales rep who works ON BEHALF of CPW with capita and she couldn't tell me why I still haven't got a receipt but my card debited.
CPW haven't got a clue what Netflix is or more to the point the sales team in capita don't.
