Updated my credit card address to parcel motel in northern ireland.

So It should be possible to sign into play uk store and order this phone tomorrow?

Isn't there a bit more to it than just changing the address on the credit card? Can't they tell by the number the country it has been issued from?

Well I just figured out how to do it

I have a google wallet account (from when I got my nexus 7 free $25 credit).
I just added a new card (my visa debit) picked a country, UK obviously, put in the address for my parcel motel in NI.

Then loaded up tunnel bear and switched on UK.
In to the play store and tried to buy a nexus 7 and its letting me get all the way to the purchase screen. Previously all my cards were greyed out and i couldn't select them.

Just tried this, as I've an account from my Nexus 7's free 25 dollar claim, but it says I've to verify my account by uploading a picture of my ID and a Bill, just did it there, but it takes 3-5 days to be approved.


I have my Debit card linked to my account, can I re-add it with a UK address? Also, is this parcelmotel service reliable, and how does it work? Does it ship to NI and then I can collect it at the one that is closest to me?

Yeah if you edit your current debit card you should be able to add a new address, I could anyway, then put in the parcel motel address like this (according to their site)
Your Name
PMXXXXX (your parcel motel account number), Parcel Motel
1A McKinney Road
Mallusk
Newtownabbey
Co Antrim
BT36 4PX

Then save details and pick that card as your default.

Still not for sale, obviously not 8am then?
I've also set up my visa debit card as described above, hopefully it works

EDIT: Looks like something happening because the page won't load now

youcancallmeal

Its for sale now but can't get the whole way through the purchase process without it erroring. Site is probably getting hammered

youcancallmeal

I got to the final accept and buy screen and then it failed saying start again Looks like its sold out now, its like Glastonbury all over again!

wba88

Ordered (after a few failed attempts)!

My Back Pages

Google keep taking it out of my cart. this isn't looking good

lafors

Wohoo It worked



Just kept hitting proceed multiple clicks in a row until google wallet loaded with a spinning circle (it was just loading blank loads of times).

Keep trying and you'll get it. Very few on xda have been able to get through it yet so surely theres still some left.

@lafors: did you get a confirmation email? I haven't received anything from Google

Austin1

Tried a few times - now when I click on 16GB option I'm told "it's coming soon". Don't tell me it's sold out already!

Not yet but I've bought online from them before while in the US and the confirmation email didn't come immediately, I was worried then but not this time Don't worry you'll be fine. You have your order number from the success page I presume anyway.

Oh the money has just come out of my bank account (visa debit) so its all gravy

Feck it - it let me order the 8GB version now so I went ahead anyway. Something tells me I'll have no problem selling this on if the lower capacity doesn't suit.

Thanks for that - my mind is now at ease.

Now we play the waiting game, come on Parcel Motel, this is your chance to prove yourself! (Would love to get the phone before the weekend)

citytillidie

Said purchased but seen no placed order screen

all sold out

Cyrus

i take it they dont accept paypal?

wba88

Just got the confirmation email with

"shipped from Barrow Street, Dublin 4"

I hope not!

youcancallmeal

So frustrating, got to the accept and buy screen around 5 times but it fell over and sent me back to the start each time :mad:

TPD

Hoping the lack of LTE means this won't sell out in the states so quick

mystic86

wtf?! so it was 8:15 when they went on sale and they were gone by 8:35?! I didn't even realise they could sell out, didn't consider it, thought surely they would have loads of stock! Anyone got an idea as to how long we could be waiting for stock to become available again??

citytillidie

Checked my orders and i had two in them so had to cancel one of them

positron

You could have made another boardsie happy by offering it here.. ah well, too late now.

Indeed, I would have took it!!

citytillidie

It made me way over drawn on my bank account so had to cancel it

I'd planned on picking up one of these for myself and one for a mate but lost my wallet with my credit card on Thursday. It's at least a little nice to know that they sold out before I woke up.

Pages

Sold out before i woke too

Just to confirm everyone else is still seeing the "Coming Soon" sign

Genghiz Cohen

Ebay had one, 16GB, for €400 shipped.
Ebay and I came to an agreement.

positron

Sold out Australia too I read somewhere.

Someone should organize a facebook/twitter flash mob of Nexus 4 buyers at Google's Barrow Street office - imagine a large group of people swarming Google with cash in their hand shouting 'take my money'. It would be like a real life version of Google Play store this morning.

youcancallmeal

I think the positive thing to take from this for those who didn't get one this morning is that if there is any quality control issues or the likes for early adopters then we've dodged a bullet. Having said that I'd still buy one now if I could!

eamondunphy

i know its sold out at the moment but is the following correct?

- change credit card billing address to a uk address ( does it matter what address i use??)

- turn on tunnel bear to get to the uk google store

- deliver to the mallusk address on the parcel motel website?

any help would be great, still a bit confused with what to do

mel123

are they available to buy if you are in the USA?
im in work and cant get on to check.

Dont think they are on sale yet, but are expected very soon.

It's supposed to be available from 9am Pacific Time from what I've seen on other forums so you might be safe yet

mel123

so there is no fear of it being locked to any network or need any modification if u get it from UK/USA, its ready to go once its out of the box and sim card in?

yip, there is only 1 model of this phone and it works on GSM. The only issue you may have is with your SIM card, it take a mini-SIM.

TPD

No luck getting a 16gb from US store, she'd going to try again in 20 minutes or so. I think I'll be waiting till the next batch though.

tylerdurden94

Sold out in the US playstore both sizes story from The Verge, will have to wait until the next batch.

mystic86

And so it is ... wow

kenyard

and now you know why they are sold out also :P
mobile operators probably stuck in a bump for a load of them. very strange o2 in uk are stocking it like that when u can buy it through store easily in uk anyways.
anyone getting that phone will probably be aware of that fact...
