When we first broke the news that the Zenfone 2 is being listed in Lazada, we investigated further to know why the prices listed were a bit off from the expected price. So we tried to place an order.
As it turns out, the Zenfone 2 listed in Lazada (see listings here) is being fulfilled by a Hong Kong retailer named Kile Trading (listed address at Shop 6 1a-1b Poplar Street, HK).
This is perhaps the reason why the units are more expensive than expected. They’re incorporating the cost of shipping (UPS/FedEx) as well as customs and taxes. This is basically the same as ordering from Amazon (only that the listed price does not include taxes and shipping).
As for warranty, Kile Trading will honor the international warranty but we’ve confirmed Asus PH will not.
If you can wait until May 10 for the official release, you will be able to save a few thousand bucks. Otherwise, you can go ahead and place the international order here.
