Have many people ordered off German Mediamarkt? Are they ok? I'd get one @ €500.

EDIT: Just went to order it there. How do you get it shipped to Ireland?

EDIT 2: Ordered and used mailboxde.com to forward it here

What did the total come to if you don't mind me asking?

The mailboxde website is a bit hard to make sense of. You get an invoice when they receive the item, which you then pay and then they send the item to you. By looking at the website I think it should cost me about €13, but I wont know until they receive the phone. So should be about €513 in total.

Yes I bought an s8 from them 10 days ago via Parcel Motel.
ordered Friday, had it Tuesday.
Everything was above board; checked IMEI's etc and everything checked out.

Happy with the purchase

How'd you use Parcel Motel if it's a UK address?

Down to €499 from amazon.de

Nessun venditore spedisce attualmente questo prodotto in Irlanda.

"No seller currently dispatched this item to Ireland"

Why are you posting about the S7 on an S8 thread though?

CGI_3

Sorry to be dragging up a relatively old thread, but I only want an S8.

Would there be any reason NOT to go for this on amazon DE, sold and fulfilled by Amazon themselves; only 352.09 delivery to Ireland: (well maybe 8 euro more)

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XJ49G5B/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1_1_1?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&psc=1




Like Amazon uk is nearly 550 euros, and argos is 630

Posting this from my S8 purchased from Amazon DE. Nope, can't think of any reason not to

Seems like a great price

There is also an offer with a 128GB micro SD card for 375 which isn't bad either

CGI_3

Was doing fine until checkout. They problem. Won't deliver the phone to ireland, but no problem with the case. And it still says from the outset that delivery to ireland is ok. Hate when Amazon do this.


Can't find the one for 375. Will you post the link?

Try parcelmotel northern ireland
On your link there is an option to select "size" where you can select. Phone and 128GB card

CGI_3

Sorted, found the one with the bundled card, and this worked.

Regarding the S8 + 128G card from Amazon.de for €375..... dumbo questions:

Is it brand new and in factory sealed box?

When you turn it on first to set everything up, can you get it to do everything in English??

Do they ship direct to Ireland?

Just ordered the s8 with memory card as the one without a card has jumped up in price. Hope they will honour the order. With Irish vat and shipping the price was €395.71

The lips

I ordered the same, no dispatch date yet, fingers crossed.

Klingon Hamlet

Can anyone recommend a strong sturdy but not too ugly case for these kinda phones? Is Otterbox still the best brand?

The lips

I use Ringke, great so far, otterbox are fugly.

Why wouldn't they? It's not a misprice, it's a sale. German retail, at least for electronics, is generally more competitive than UK, hence what might seem like a shocking saving.

dhaughton99

Thanks OP. There's another e395 from my wallet. :rolleyes:

CGI_3

Missed call this morning from an amazon number according to Google. Can't call it back, just says its not available or something. No email, but the money hasn't left my account either. Suspecting this order is not going to go through!

How did the rest of ye fair?

A case I can recommend is the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Had it before on an S6 edge, and now on an s8 plus

Normal. Periodically Amazon check my card for €1 when I order , normally if there's a gap between orders. Ensuring card is valid. €1 will disappear soon enough after shipping, only a ghost transaction.

dhaughton99

Any movement?

Roberto_gas

Money taken from my account...arriving friday

Preparing for dispatch..

For s9+ i ordered...

No orchid grey available on that page, only from spigen and they don't deliver. Besides I ordered from amazon USA instead not a bother. Thanks anyway

My order due next Monday by UPS according to email today.

Spigen cover I recommended on the way with it too.

Had no problem shipping to Ireland, and looks like both in the same box as only one tracking number given...

I see the price of the phone with the 128 GB SD card is now gone up to €469...

Didn't realise it was such a bargain when I resurrected this thread!

UPS fuched up my address somehow and kept it in their depot. I've only found that out by putting the tracking number on the ups website. I rang them and found them fairly shyte to be honest. Waiting for a callback.

Arrived today. Havent had much time to look at it.

It is brand new as it should be. Outside stickers all in english.

European SIM cards only.

Stuck in a VM SIM card.

Startup, the language is in Germany and greeted by this text:



Which according to google translates to :


SIM card changed

Restart your phone to configure the features supported by your new Sim card. This will reset your phone to factory settings and erase all data, including the files and downloaded apps
not now
To reboot

Obviously thats a fairly rough translation, but good enough.

I went with the reboot now.

This took a LONG, LONG time.

Started up defaulted to English UK. (could change again if you wanted)

Anyway, all seems good now, having signed into samsung and google accounts and everything restored.

Only true for initial activation. After that, other region's SIM cards can be used.

using a SIM from the same regional origin as the phone for at least 5 minutes of total talktime will disable the regional lock and allow you to use a SIM from any other region from then on
