How long did it take to get from Belfast to your Parcel Hotel pick up point?

UK is out of stock on Play store at the moment for 8GB. Can only add to wishlist.

Natakranta · 03-09-2013 10:29am

I ordered 16GB one Saturday evening. I received email from Google today in the morning that it was shipped. Parcel force link shows it is in Belfast since today's morning 8am. I hope to collect it today in Dublin.

Fresh Pots · 03-09-2013 11:16am

Doesnt sound right-are you sure the stamp duty wasn't just due now?

It's going to be Russian roulette now with more released for order as existing orders get cancelled. Fingers crossed.

Is Sept 10th not the latest it will be shipped, rather than when it will be shipped... it will likely ship well before that.

Thanks, hadn't seen this. Reducing the price for phones they don't have??

Any idea when in, or better off ordering 16GB?

Tinie · 03-09-2013 11:45am

Is everyone going for the 8gb? is the extra 8gb worth the extra €40 or so with things such as skydrive and spotify?

is there any mp3 streaming service that you can stream music off that you uploaded with android?

I ordered 8gb and now thinking I should have gone with 16

Tinie · 03-09-2013 12:00pm

do you get charged as soon as you place the order or is it just before its shipped, as I want to have a think about this for a few hours, but would order it providing I can cancel it in a few hours should I change my mind as I dont want it to go OOS again, and possibly permanently.

Pm1e wrote: »

thing is though, on my current phone, I barely use 8gb with apps and music.

Google Play Music allows you to upload ur music to the cloud and stream to ur device. Not tried it yet but have. Heard good things about it

That's only the US Play Store.

I've an S4 so I went with the 8 gig as I'll mostly be playing around with it rather than using it day to day...probably...maybe.

chris.c2010 · 03-09-2013 2:55pm

Anyone know how long it takes Parcel Motel to deliver? My phone has been in transit since yesterday evening.

2smiggy · 03-09-2013 2:59pm

hmmm , looks as if my money has been refunded, but the order is still down as pending. FYI i ordered the 8gb one on thursday afternoon

What happens should we need a replacement/phone fixed? Do we need to send it up to PM to get it collected there?

For those living within convenient distance of the border it's not an issue. Just drop up some Saturday and hand it in at the post office. I assume. That's how I returned something to Amazon on the weekend. Newry is 1 hour from Dublin? Do a bit of grocery shopping while you're there.

could be that google have been too slow in dispatching and claiming the funds from my account. hopefully this is the case. but will they need my permission again to take the funds ?

I've had this phone for a few months and if you're looking for a cover i'd recommend this one:

It's as knock off of the official one but its pretty good, no damage done to my phone after i dropped it!

How long does it take to arrive? Do you find the sides get in the way when swiping across the screen?

That specifically says US, it even says it will continue to be sold in other markets until stock runs out.

And it has been posted a few pages back already.

Sorry chief, haven't been back-reading.

Just ordered the 16gb. Says it will ship on the 10th Sept.

Fingers crossed it will ship as I really want this phone now!!!

Tinie · 03-09-2013 9:11pm

They all say that. Google seems not too good on updating the order status?

Natakranta · 04-09-2013 12:25am

Collected mine 2 hours ago from parcel motel box in Dublin.
After 2 failed attempts I finally have it!
Tomorrow fastboot oem unlock

Thanks a mill fellow boardees! Couldn't do it without your posts and support.

Picked mine up just now. Arrived in Dublin at 11.45pm. I still haven't got a text message, the pin came up when I checked the parcel motel website.

Ordered the 16gb at 3.00am Saturday so a 4 day turn around from order to getting it into my hands.

It looks good, nice and slim with a diamond effect patterned back. The OS is dead familiar to any android phone user.
