ParcelForce taking the piss...



It is obviously their fault - the bloody parcel is in their system!! :mad::mad:

Ah man, that sucks. Something similar happened to me years ago. I'm pretty sure an employee stole it. :eek:

I ended up getting a refund after an investigation was carried out, but it took weeks

Here's hoping its just briefly stuck and will process tonight. If not, I'll be asking Samsung to reship.

Oh dear, this explains it: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/www.parcelforce.com

That is an embarrassing score, even for these amateurs.

Thats a joke. Least you'll probably get it before me. I'm waiting for a sim free version that accepts all for one cards (got 500 quid on one card)

Mine is in security check, has been like that since I ordered last Wednesday. Really hope they ship tomorrow but starting to get that sinking feeling.

I emailed unlocked mobiles and asked would there be any delay as I had changed my order to the edge.

They just responded back saying the phones will ship when the stock arrives, whatever that means.

That's what I was worried about, wonder do they even know when the stock will be in. Starting to wish I'd ordered direct with Samsung.

Well they still say on the site it's due tomorrow. In fairness they have stuck to that date since the beginning aswell. Wish it was earlier and probably won't relax till its delivered so hopefully it ships tomorrow.

Got an email from them to say they are still awaiting delivery from Samsung and will update customers tomorrow.
Strange they don't know when the devices will be delivered.

Got a call from Carphone warehouse, they have my S7 Edge and Gear VR but can't hand it over until tomorrow. 1 more sleep...

For anyone interested, here's a guide for enabling adoptable storage

http://www.modaco.com/news/android/heres-how-to-configure-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/

I'm also pretty interested in the camera. Currently with the S6 Edge+ which was the king of phone cameras. Still can't see any clear advantage with the S7.

I've also read that some people are getting Sony sensors, some with the ISOCELL. Which camera sensor is everyone here getting?

Worth giving the store a call. The store actually range me on Tuesday just to confirm the correct model was coming in and again today to confirm it was ready.

Is their much difference between the S7 and S7 edge? Got a good offer for either today with a Vodafone agent but haven't had the time to look into it.

Main things are screen size, curved screen and I think the edge battery is a bit bigger too.
Edge looks to be a better phone and is nice in the hand but I'm not sold on the curved screen, think it's kind of pointless. That being said, I would probably go for edge myself if I had to choose.
I believe the Snap Dragon 820 version is supposed to have a better GPU (non UK version I think).

I would and did pick the edge myself. I like a bigger phone, and the design and feel of the edge is also a bit nicer.

Are you using the flat S7 or the Edge? The pixel density is higher on the flat model and that's the only thing putting me off the edge as I've some VR projects I'm hoping to work on.

Wouldn't the bigger battery be better for VR projects?

Do you know if there is any way to claim Samsung gear vr if it didn't come with your phone?
Samsung was saying that all preorders will come with free gear vr. On American Samsung site you can simply claim one, but that option seems to be missing on uk store.

Order still processing on unlocked mobiles maybe this will change after 9am.

Pre orders now on unlocked mobiles are down for the 21st of March!

F that. What a ****ty service. I'll be looking for a refund asap

Trigg171

Yeah just got the mail. **** sake

Looking at other sites for sim free and some of them also have stock expected in the week commencing 21st.

Looks like I'm probably stuck till then cause no way I'm buying a carrier locked phone.

Got the same email from unlocked Mobiles, emailed them back to request a refund. Very annoying.

Will reorder through samsung.

Frankmagnet

Just emailed requesting a refund. At this stage I don't care if I have to wait longer to get it somewhere else as long as it's not from them.

I was in contact as recently as last night regarding delivery and got the vague standard response.

Not good enough when you are paying so much for a product.

If they weren't so hidden about it,it would be different.

Trigg171

Requested a refund myself. Might throw in on the Amazon Germany one for €750 depending how quick I get my money back.
