Am wondering if the issues with orders being cancelled is related to the card used..

.. for some reason, I couldn't add my Visa Debit card to Google Wallet. It kept defaulting to "Payment Methods" after addition but the Visa Debit card was never present.

Added my Visa credit card and ordered with that without issue.

I was able to add my visa debit card no problem, although i did it a while back with my Irish address. I just edited the address for ordering this.

I'd recommend putting in a request to Flubit. It might take you a long time to get it but you
have a good chance of getting the cheaper price, free shipping and eventual delivery to Parcel Motel.

Flubit changed there policies lately and you can only buy from amazon with them now.

I want so damn to buy it, and finally moving from my old iPhone sh*t

CR 7

Well I used a Mastercard, and PM as shipping/billing addresses. It's too much of an impulse buy for me to be ringing the bank changing addresses, but I'll try setting up a new account.

added my Visa Debit without issue but it asks for a phone number
Should I add my Irish number or will this give the game away?

Anyone know why Google doesn't sell it through the Irish play store?

Quick question for the people that have had their accounts locked;
was the order accepted and processed before-hand? and if so how soon after was the account locked

Burning Eclipse

Hmmm, getting nervous now. For the people who have had orders cancelled... how quickly were they cancelled?

Every time I new mail to my gmail account I'm wondering will be a cancellation or shipping notification. I'm not cut out for this kind of thing at all...

Wossack

aye.. mines stuck at 'pending'..

Ordered about 5pm yesterday.

syncosised

Mine was cancelled, I ordered at about 12 yesterday, and got an email at around 9PM about the cancellation. Up until that point it seemed it has gone through fine and I had gotten confirmation emails and everything. Hope it works fine for everyone else anyway!

I despise using cases on phones, but seeing I've an unhealthy habit of dropping phones I better get one. Any recommendations for a cheap as chips one from the likes of DealExtreme/EBay/Amazon?

Basq

Having seen the Nexus, I love the style of the back.. so I don't want a case that hides that and the Ringke Fusion is meant to be one of the best so might be worth splurging on that.

Just noticed in my google wallet under transactions the delivery and invoice addresses have no mention of my PM Id, just my name and the PM address,however if i sign into the play store and look at my order the pmid is there. Hopefully it gets shipped with the correct address.:(

quick note to people: the fact you keep logging into your google account to check its status, its more than likely going to pickup on your IP address being from Ireland if your not consistently checking it over the vpn.

If you'd only ordered 1 or 2 you might have gotten away with it :pac:

Surely the Google system also flags the fact that all these phones get shipped to the same parcel motel address in NI? They know well what's going on I'd say.

Mine is still at pending as well btw, and it's a "legitimate" purchase from the German play store to a German address. I doubt it means anything more than they have been a bit overwhelmed.

Humans might cop it but the system mightn't since we all have a different name and PM ID, the system might just think we all live on one very long road!

I would reckon it does, but the fact even one phone gets through it means it must not be much of a flag they pay attention too. Fraud is a much bigger issue and that tends to be flagged when addresses are not being matched!

The fact someone above ordered 12 would increase the fraud rating of the request in my opinion.

True, I ordered yesterday morning and it said it'l be shipped by the 2nd, the play store is now saying new orders will be shipped before the 10th so they probably have a backlog alright.

That was a joke... He ordered at 12 o'clock, not 12 phones

Yeah I was told the 2nd aswell, just got to sit tight until I get that confirmed shipping email!

Burning Eclipse wrote: »

Oh haha!

On that I reckon ordering late night will increase chances a bit as they might be manually reviewed 9-5 but in the evening they might just pass through un-looked at. Theres no telling how the backend systems work but if someone gets a confirmed shipping as much info as possible will help increase other peoples success rate. Also the fact your all using the same vpn I don't think could be going down well, I myself used a different vpn altogether!

Mine has landed at PM in Belfast anyway! May have it by tomorrow if all goes well!

When did you order?

Nexus 4 now costs $200 in the US so if you are traveling there may save 50 quid.

Haha what a typo on my part! Ordering 12 on something like this would be a classic BA move alright. I meant I ordered 1 at 12 o'clock (midday), of course.

About 2am Wednesday morning. Literally a few minutes after the price drip was announced.

Amirani

What is Google's reasoning behind not selling these in Ireland?

is it being offered by any of the providers, and they may have an exclusivity deal or something? though the entire play store was inaccessible iirc, so prob not..

/edit as above, it looks play store related alright - old article http://businessetc.thejournal.ie/google%E2%80%99s-nexus-4-launched-not-ireland-671741-Nov2012/

What do ye guys do with your current smartphone when ye upgrade to a new one i.e. this nexus 4.

Do you sell it on ebay? Give it to friends or what? I got a windows phone a year ago but this is too good of a deal to pass up I think but not sure what to do with it, and the offers on adverts for the same phone is a bit low.

Kenny Logins

I could go for one of these, but not in the mood for the hassle.

Check the recycle value (Greenyourgoods etc.) and advertise for that +20%.

Tinie

I think ill wait and see how you guys get on with getting these since people are having issues with orders being cancelled, before I go about getting the dosh together for it, and selling my current phone.

You should have got a confirmation email with your order number etc. I got that straight after I paid.

Never got one, on the website it says it will be shipped September 10 and money was taken from my account but no email, checked spam too. Is there anything I should do?

fade2che

I ordered one at lunch time on the 28th I got an email form google wallet with an order number, money debited from account etc
Status is currently (as of lunch time today) "processing".
Fingers crossed!

Balls.. submitted the Ringke Fusion to Flubit to try and get a better price..

.. and seems to have sold out in the meantime!

EDIT: Can get it for about €16 delivered from the official site ($13.99 + $6.99 shipping) - anyone do better than that?
EDIT 2: Can get another €2 off that by ordering on their Ebay Shop.. think that's the way to go. Doubt I'll beat €14.. though someone probably will once I place the order!

Anyone tried getting a price match through the likes of handtec?

I'm still hurting over the Ubuntu edge tbh

I cancelled mine just in case, it just said pending and got no email confirmation.

There seems to be fantastic development for this phone, one of the many reasons I grabbed one. A big one for me was the development of Ubuntu for it. Looking forward to seeing how a Desktop OS can port to a mobile device.
