Oneplus Invite *Read 1st post

VandC

Happy days :-)

If anybody has an invite going I'd love one. Thanks

Gordon Gekko

Looking to retire my ancient iPhone 3GS before it dies completely on me - would really appreciate an invite if anyone has one available. I will of course pay it forward on this thread when I get my own Oneplus phone and invite. Thanks!

Folks ,if your looking for an invite I reckon the best way to get one here is to be regularly on this thread and have email notifications on.
Plenty of people have came here asking for an invite but are never seen again.
Most people with invites to share aren't going to PM users,they will post here offering one but will want to be PMed.I know I'm not chasing people up to give away an invite.

DaperDan

Thanks. I'm looking for an invite, so will follow the thread with fingers crossed

maximoose

Is it 24 hours the invites last before expiry?

Plan to get one of these on Friday when I get paid, so need to time my grovelling for invites appropriately:)

this is great advice. I stalked the thread for two days and was lucky enough to grab an invite that way. don't forget there's a boards app. Its handy for keeping track.

You shouldn't even be relying on boards there's only a few of us here who seem to receive invites, XDA, Twitter and begging on Facebook is the way to go.

Parcel Motel or if you can wait an extra few days order it from the german store and it'll be cheaper.

How long should I expect before the phone makes it to Parcel Motel, from the UK site?

I collected mine from Parcel Motel 3 days after ordering but between preorders launching, Christmas coming, disappointed Nexus fans etc that could be stretched now, then again I havent seen anyone complaining either so maybe its the same.

Ah ya, 3 days is sound/ I'd be happy if it came before the weekend at all. Don't want to be waiting until next Tuesday tbh. I think they were quick enough when I got the Nexus 4 last year too.

Thanks

sorry for the ignorance, but how does parcel motel work? and what do you mean order from the german site when it becomes available? again sorry

How can you get it from the German store? Just looked through the preorder process there and if you select the German store the delivery location is locked to Germany? Parcel Motel only works for deliveries to a UK address afaik?

Parcel Motel are basically a bunch of little lockers. They have many different locations set up around various towns/cities in Ireland, so you chose your local station to collect from. You set up an account, give them a few euro to hold/transport the package you want delivered. What they have is a depot in Dublin, and in Belfast. You can choose which one it is delivered to, and also use your unique Parcel Motel number, which is linked to your local locker station. Then, because some sites deliver to UK only, and not Ireland, you can use the Belfast depot.

So you will be delivering the package to Belfast (in the UK) and then Parcel Motel will see your unique PM ID and know where your local locker station is located and then deliver it there for you.

There was an OR in the post. I didn't say order from the German site to parcel motel.

Order on German site get it delivered to mailbox.de then get it forwarded onto Ireland. That's the cheapest way of getting one AFAIK.

just realized the pre ordering next week is for a one hour period......ffs

Yeah I can see endless issues trying to get into a site that keeps crashing etc. Imagine how many people worldwide will be piling into the site during that hour window.

maximoose

Yep, can see it being a nightmare.

daytob

whats stopping you pre-ordering your pre-order now, having it in your basket, so when the hour comes * if they are at different times around the world, starting at the earliest one, trying to order using that countries release? unless they are all the same time. in which case then good luck to anyone trying.

maximoose

I imagine the pre-order of pre-orders is to try and gauge interest so they can have the site reliable for monday and possibly lighten the load, less phases to get through as your order is saved and you just need to pay.

Fingers crossed it's not too bad, or that I can get an invite on Thursday!

Icyseanfitz

tbh id love one of these but because i wont have the money until december and the pain and hassle of even trying to get one (not knowing if il even have the "privilege") is turning me right off it

strewelpeter

Hi, I'm looking to pick up an invite if there is one available.

Thanks

Rob!

Hey. If anybody has an invite to spare in the next 72 hours, I'd really appreciate it. I assume that opening pre-orders might lead to chaotic delays and my beloved nexus 4 battery is on the way out.

salamanca22

There is talk on the opo forums they are not sending out any more invites until after the pre order. I am gonna wait for the pre order because theu have some nice accessories half price during it.

I got an orange flip cover. Really well made and doesn't add to much bulk to the phone.

I can add photo later.

Hey hey,

If there are any spare invites going I'd love to get one of these bad boys!

Cheers,
Al.

Only have a Nexus 4 for about 10 months. Damn this temptation. :pac:

NTC

Can I be added to the list please.

daytob

might be worth it editing the title of this thread to say list is closed. its pre-orders only

Icyseanfitz

But only for one hour on the 27th and then its back to the invite system again

daytob

invite system yes, but invite list is closed

Keep me in mind I am mad to get my hands on one so I can do some modding. First thing I am gonna do is mod in wireless charging from scratch. None of those diy kits :P

VandC
