Oneplus Invite *Read 1st post

AleoN

I sent out 3 invites last week to people who requested them. Just realised now only 1 was used and the other 2 expired this morning.
Cant understand why people request invites when they have no intention of using them.
Should have given them away on the OPO forum where genuine people are still looking for them.
If people cant / don't intend using invite they should get back to sender and they could be redistributed.

yaba and i had that issue, we would have people on the list and they wouldnt even get back to us. that, i think was why there was a 2nd list made. Sorry about that. if people are still looking to get rid of invites I would suggest just giving people 24 hours, then post them either here for the snatch and grabs, or on the oneplus forum.
its pretty ****ty thing to do when people say they want it then dont bother their hole

Lads, i've read that a few people had theirs delivered super-quick using standard shipping. Has this been the case with everyone?

I only ask because I order on Friday night and went for express shipping. However, the order is still "processing" on the site? What's the craic there?

I ordered the day before yesterday and mine is still processing as well. I chose standard delivery.

I ordered on Saturday morning and used Standard shipping, had the phone in my hand on Tuesday night, delivered to Parcel Motel in Bray at 23:30 so I don't see how it could have been faster or why you would pay more than standard. My order status changed from processing to Completed on Tuesday morning and Royal Mail tracking which you get with standard showed it delivered to Parcel Motel in Antrim at 10 am on Tuesday morning aswell.

I ordered Friday night, the phone was delivered to parcel motel Belfast Tuesday morning, parcel motel delivered it to Kilkenny at 3 am on Weds morning. Standard delivery.

I have an invite that will expire in 3 days. If someone wants it and can use it by then drop me a mail and i'll send it on.

A ****ty act to take an invite and then not use it.I'm not surprised tbh ,the trouble Dayton and me had just getting replies to PMs was astonishing.
I said it early on but I think some people had no real clue what they were putting there names down on the list for.

I ordered mine on Sunday night and got a shipping email this morning.

How long does it usually take to get here once it's shipped from OPO ?

yabadabado

I ordered mine on a Friday night and picked it up on Wednesday morning from Parcel Motel.

God I hope choosing Express Shipping won't make it slower to get than if I had chosen Standard Shipping. Ordered yesterday at about 3 so hoping for the weekend if I get lucky.

Ya. Its a bit like on Adverts when you post an item for free and you get "me please" and in the next line they ask " what's it for?"
Anyway big thanks to Yabba for all the hard work. Don't know how you have the patience.

It seems that way. I still haven't got mine but people who have ordered at the same time and even after me have received theirs

Lovely Bloke

Ordered Friday, received to PM Tuesday night.

TitianGerm

Just checked the status of my order and it's been received by PM in Belfast. Ordered Monday night so that's a quick turnaround.
Could I expect it in my PM tomorrow ?

mrmeindl

On the list I've put not available to accept until 10/10/14 but I'm able to order now if someone is able to give me an invite. PM me and I'll send you my email please!

PM say if it makes it to their Belfast office by 11am it'll be in Dublin that day. Yours will be in your PM tomorrow easily if it's in Belfast already.

I have edited the list for you ,so hopefully you get sorted soon.

Any of the people who gave away invites that weren't used can ye send them on again or are the expired?

Making the big change over to Android. Can I add my name to the list for an invite please. After putting in far to much research there is no other phone that comes close to this for me. I haven't even ordered yet and I'm already excited. Cheers lads/ladies.

daytob

invite list is closed however there are invites being passed around here, keep an eye out. I am on here most days as is yaba * the 2 that kept the invite list going so keep an eye out for pms

do you have a parcel motel account? and if you got an invite would you be able to buy within say 2 days? as a majority of people fail to realise that the invite has a specific time to be used and still put their name down:rolleyes:

Got my shipment notification at 7am this morning. How long should it be before parcel motel get it? Standard shipping.

TitianGerm

I also got my shipping notification this morning at 7:30. I just checked the Royal Mail tracking and it was delivered to PM in Belfast at 11:16 so I should have it for tomorrow judging from previous experiences here? I'm guessing you should be similar?

Thanks very much. I'll keep a close eye out. Yeah I have Parcel Motel and an OPO account and have the cash ready. Once I get the invite It'll be used straight away!

You can offer them here or check to see the few left on the list if they are ready to use it.

theroomisonfire

I have two invites available. I will pm yabadabado with the invites.

yabadabado

I have some invites to pass on from theroomisfire and another user.PM me if you need one.It will be the morning time before I can pass them on by PM.

Took nearly 2 months for me to my shareable invites, so it could be a while.

gingerhousewife

I ordered mine late last Thursday night and it was in PM in Belfast on the Saturday morning. Got it from my local PM on Monday. Standard shipping. Unbelievably fast.

After a detour via holland i finally go my hands on mine lastnight. First impressions are that they put some effort into the packaging, its all very nicely done. The phobe is also very nice but its big, I didnt think it wpuld be that big! Ill prob use it for a week see can I get used to it

I think the phone is small, as my last phone is the Note II which i had for 2 years.

Was here a while back but didn't meet the criteria to sign up (my bad, only registered ages ago and never got around to posting!)... Managed to get an invite myself elsewhere though..!

got three invites there and didn't realise till now with only one day left... friend of mine used one but i have two more left... much rather give them to someone from boards than the mad scramble going on on the oneplus forums (got mine by being member 54000-ish on the oneplus forums after i gave up trying to get one!)...

anyhoo, seeing as there is so little time left to share them, i'm just gonna post them here (within a spoiler tag) for someone to use rather than have to PM them as i don't think i'll be online again this evening... hope this ain't against any rules or anything..! (really sorry if it is!)

and dang it, i can't post links because i don't have enough posts... add in the https:// to the start...

No I think its a perfect size. I'm coming from a Note 3. The OPO seems much narrower in hand.

The OPO is narrower than the Note II and thinner as well but it is a mm or two higher than Note II. So would be smaller than Note 3 as well.

I have to say I'm finding the screen much better than the notes as well.

The only thing I miss is the screen brightness slider in the status bar.
