Ok so I ordered on iShopping via the link provided above:

Nokia 7 Plus 64GB 4GB Dual Sim Price in Pakistan | Buy Nokia 7 Plus 64GB 4GB Dual Sim Black/Copper - Official Warranty | iShopping.pk

I made the order on July 18th and they haven't delivered yet. On top of that I called them yesterday and they said that the delivery will take another week.

Should I cancel and order from another store that's faster? Can anyone suggest another store that's reliable and will deliver me the phone in reasonable time?
Weird that they'd take this long considering they're promising same day shipping. Call them and cancel though, they probably don't have it in stock and are just making excuses now.
I'd suggest Advance Telecom but even their website lists the 7 Plus as sold out.

It's selling very well, so it's sold out literally everywhere. I wanted to buy the white one for my sister but nobody had it online and one shop in Saddar had only the black one, and only one unit left. He said all of them got sold and they're 'short' in the market now.

Try your local market if you can find one, otherwise just wait for Advance Telecom to re-stock it I guess.

Be prepared to get:

-Scammed
-Told the product is out of stock.
-Wait for 3 months.
-Never get your money back.

Please find a different way of getting the phone. Send the money to a relative/friend to go buy it locally rather than ordering online.

And don't go through Daraz. Someone just bought an S9+ and got an empty box instead.

Wooot, seriously???

If you're in Lahore, try Shophive.

They have the officially sold PTA sticker S9s and they do same day delivery in Lahore if you order before 3 PM.
Is shophive reliable? Any idea how much time they take to deliver to Karachi? Normally it should not be more then 2-3 days...?

If they dispatch it the same day that you order, you should technically get it the next day if it's TCS, but just to be realistic, you'll get it on the 2nd day for sure.

They are reliable and I have ordered stuff from them many times.

you're asking if they are reliable then no, they use tactics of lying and cheating rather than admit they are at fault or dont have an item. whatever you order from them they will by from market and charge you a premium on it. sometimes when they cant find it or if its not cheaper than what they are asking online then they will pretend the product didnt pass quality control. their warranty doesnt mean anything at all its all fake. half the time deliveries will take over a week or two while they try to find the product on the market. it will ALWAYS be cheaper for you to buy from market. when ordering from them you are always taking a gamble about delivery time, quality, and fake warranty and for sure you are paying more for it. sometimes you will get the product on time sometimes not, sometimes you will never get it at all and your money will be stuck with them for months. but one thing that is reliable is that you will be paying more than market for this "service"

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!
