Can anyone tell me how long it took for Parcel Motel to deliver once Parcelforce delivered to them?

My one has a somewhat annoying screen dimming issue where it goes slightly darker for a few seconds then gets brighter again. I have it set to maximum brightness. It's annoying but I don;t think I can be arsed to send it for repair/replace.

Try:

Velis Auto Brightness

I ordered on the 5th and it's still pending. Got no confirmation whatsoever, but the money has already moved out

The same here, but the money hasn't been taken. Still "pending" status..
Well, it seems I'll have to wait 2 more weeks at least And only if I'm lucky..

Mines been delivered to parcel motel so just have to wait for delivery. I never received any emails from google whatsoever about it which was odd.

I used my usual tcd.ie email address with my address in billing with parcel motel zip and uk as country using bank of Ireland debit card.My bank rang me to check if I made the orders as it was unusual activity. I also bought an app in the uk App Store before the phone too

It might just be auto brightness? Check if the box is ticked for it.

Nope, not auto. I've checked online and it seems to be something some others are experiencing as well

Does anybody want to buy 5 screen protectors? I ordered some for my note 3 and received these instead. €6 Inc postage, exactly what they cost me.

Anybody want these before i throw them out? PM me if you are interested.

Has anyone tried ordering from one of the other European countries play store e.g. France where price is €349 , using the same procedure? Would that be possible?

How are you going to get it shipped here? UK only works because of Parcel Motel

Emmo-m-

That was the question , no services like parcel motel for other countries then i presume! Looks like ill just wait on handtec to get the black version in stock!

Actually, there are:

mailbox.de for deutch playstore
France i ain't aware of any, but there must be. Same goes for Spain

Emmo-m-

interesting , will look into it. Cheers!

Really boils down to go through with the hassle / save money.

Or just wait for handtec or phonesonline.ie , less hassle / more money!

Yeah, look back a few pages. One guy called them and sent his back,another is in the process of doing so, IIRC.

Yeah I'm after ringing them about dead pixels and waiting on the replacement to ship but the online status is saying that order won't leave the warehouse until mid December.

The dead pixels seems to be a problem with nexus 5 it seems. I reordered mine there, says its prepaid whatever that means. Its not shipping for 10 days though which is a bit ridiculous but not as bad as mid december. I bought a 32gb white version.

JohnK

They must have more stock of that so, mines the black 32gb and the date its giving is Dec 11th to leave the warehouse but I'm hoping it'll go before that. Only thing I'm afraid of now is scratching it or something and have them reject the RMA once they see it. Not to mention trying to get things in the post around that time of year is going to be a complete balls for something time sensitive.

IrishStuff09

Think I'll be grand ordering a White 16GB around the first / second week in December?

I found the email a bit unclear. So I wait until the new one arrives before posting the old one?

This was what the screen was like upon arrival
