I miss when Adverts was more of a community thing. All these shops spamming the same ads over and over every day or two is very annoying. Plus the general feedback on many of them seems to be that it's no better than taking a punt with a private seller anyway.

Ordered through VF and got shipping notification a little while ago, coming via An Post.

And it's just not shifting at the higher prices most likely

With "03 month shop warranty".

Ordered on the 1st through Three and got shipping notification this morning through An Post, still no tracking info.

I know this is the S23 thread but I went in to one of these shops last weekend to buy a Fold 4. Advertised as brand new, sealed box in the pictures, €1100ish. Well over 1K positive reviews.

Your man comes out, told him I was the fella from Adverts here to buy a Fold. He disappears and comes out with two phones, proceeds to drop one, picks it up and places them down. I knew at this point I wasn't buying from him. Opened them up, clearly used with smudges everywhere. One had a bit of paper stuck in the hinge. Said I thought they'd be sealed, he says they were just opened to check (dunno why people still use that line) and he had sealed ones too but they were €1300.

Anyway, left, bit the bullet and bought direct from Samsung. The peace of mind is worth it for another couple hundred imo, and I think the S23 is a great price with trade ins and coupons (for someone like me who doesn't change phone every year at least).

I had ordered s23 ultra , cover and few other items from samsung on the 2nd and got message this morning from partner that package from samsung had arrived . i got no email or tracking code or anything. So with a smile on my face i told partner to open box up to chewck what had arrived and low and behold everything i ordered was there except the phone and cover.

Partner said the box they arrived in was already opened.

So I emailed exertis saying items were missing and they responded few minutes ago

"The rest of your order will be collected this evening by the courier for delivery on Monday."

Richardc9052 · 10-02-2023 3:19pm

My delivery today was also everything other than the phone and cover 😅

masterboy123 · 10-02-2023 3:27pm

I spoke to Exertis Dublin. Phones will arrive early next week.

MiskyBoyy · 10-02-2023 3:28pm

My DPD order was also just the charger I ordered.

Ordered phone on 1st and my orders page is also still just says "ORDER IS BEING PROCESSED BY EXERTIS".

BArra · 10-02-2023 3:29pm

think they have lowered trade in value for phones on samsung.ie

It's same for my S22 ultra.

Kissy_Lips · 10-02-2023 3:32pm

no email for me yet.

I need to find alternative tech to trade in. Trading an s10 for the phone (€265) and intended on trading broken airpods for the buds2 but I can't find the airpods. I have an s7 but the feckin thing wont turn on to reset it. I'm sure it's still filled with texts and photos.

my mistake, it logged me into student account

_Kaiser_ · 10-02-2023 4:51pm

Got another email from Samsung there a while ago. Same as the one this morning but the link now goes to the DPD tracking page.

mollser · 10-02-2023 5:28pm

Just to clarify on the trade in - looking to get the S23 - you select Trade In, Earphones, Any Other Device, and they'll give €125. Does this seriously work for the old wired headphones, i.e. AKG ones etc that used to come with the phones?

I'm shocked if it does, but a scan of reddit etc seems to confirm that Samsung accepted any old headphones for previous offers. Is this correct??? Thanks a mil!!

I was gonna do the same but read the T&Cs which has a list of devices. Ended up having a really old tablet that's on the list so sending that instead to be on the safe side.

https://shop.samsung.com/ie/trade-in-terms-and-conditions

Fwarder · 10-02-2023 5:46pm

Thats strange. They literally say "any other earphone". I think the T&Cs are for which devices get listed, not the "we only accept these".

coldfire1x · 10-02-2023 5:48pm

Anyone know the S23 versions you can get in Harvey Norman will be single or dual (2 physical) sim?

mollser · 10-02-2023 5:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120225013#Comment_120225013

Ha - I do have a very old tablet (Any other tablet is listed), but I use it exclusively for the Irish Time app - I'd rather not part with it if an old pair of headphones will do!! However €125 for it is a fair bargain if it comes to it!

marcobon · 10-02-2023 6:29pm

Ha.. I ordered the S23 Ultra through Vodafone and have not received shipping notification or anything yet. Hopefully soon... I wonder if it would be available on some places like Harvey Norman or similar already?

jontr · 10-02-2023 7:32pm

Nope, the brick and mortar Skype are getting s23s on 17th. I was today at HN in Waterford and that's what they told me.

Keith186 · 10-02-2023 7:55pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120225076#Comment_120225076

TBH you could be right, I didn't want to take the risk. It means sending a broken tablet instead of broken headphones so not too much difference for me!

If anyone does send something not on the device list please post here so we know for future years.

I spoke to official Samsung distributor in Dublin. If you purchased using the official Samsung Ireland website then you should get the phone "early next week". That's what they told me.

Same... Money was taken from the account and I got a screenshot of the order number. No email, nothing. Any update from your side?

Edit: got a confirmation there

Chibs · 10-02-2023 8:52pm

I see mine is with DPD now. Just updated at half 7. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

_Kaiser_ · 10-02-2023 9:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120225871#Comment_120225871

Mine says "travelling through the DPD network" as of 19:19. Be nice to get it this weekend, except the cover hasn't arrived yet! 🙁

masterboy123 · 10-02-2023 9:34pm

Your parcel is travelling through the DPD network

Nice - Update from anpost (Vodafone order): "...has now arrived with us for delivery. We will aim to deliver your item .... on the next working day." Fingers crossed!

AH92 · 10-02-2023 9:55pm

Got same, will get it Monday morning so.

jay28 · 10-02-2023 10:31pm

What cases has has everyone went for? I'm looking for the wallet style but can't seem to find any, Samsung don't seem to have any on their site

MarkY91 · 10-02-2023 10:48pm

I went for a dbrand case just because of mrwhostheboss on YouTube. I usually went for a thin Spigen for the past couple of years

I was looking for it and couldn't find it.

Could you please share the link with me?

coach22 · 10-02-2023 11:05pm

What do people think of upgrading from an iPhone 12 for the ultra? It wasn’t on my radar but can get it for around €800 with trade in and discount.

Thanks.

Shipping is extra even though I am a prime member. I will wait until its available on UK website.

UK Prime doesn't count on any of the other Amazon sites unfortunately

jay28 · 11-02-2023 7:45am

I just ordered the otterbox strada black leather case, looks a little bulky but I'll see how I get on with it....... Coming from a fold 3 so all in all can't be much bulkier than that was

rizzee · 11-02-2023 7:51am

MKBHD full review is up... Very positive

El Gato De Negocios · 11-02-2023 8:01am

Bought this cover

https://amzn.eu/d/31B5cTr

I like the idea of the added lense cover and dual purpose kickstand. Arriving Monday.

masterboy123 · 11-02-2023 8:12am

Ordered this case for time being.

Delivery on Sunday.

Fwarder · 11-02-2023 9:30am

I went with Samsung's own rugged case for 44e. Seems modular on the back side so cant be that bad I guess :D

On s22u I used transparent case with the kickstand, but with small kids in the house, I want to futureproof myself :D

masterboy123 · 11-02-2023 10:21am

Any deliveries today? 📸😂

_Kaiser_ · 11-02-2023 10:52am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120227664#Comment_120227664

Nope. Still "travelling through the network"

It'll probably show on Monday. Likely that Samsung/Exertis didn't go for the weekend delivery option.

I did get an email this morning about the trade in programme though. Won't open on the phone though for some reason. Must check on the laptop.

masterboy123 · 11-02-2023 11:15am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120227720#Comment_120227720

I got trade in programme email Friday morning.

It's nothing special, just that within 7 days we must return old phone and they will send prepaid envelope.

Important Note:

Last year AnPost did not recognise Samsung prepaid labels to return the old phone.

Chibs · 11-02-2023 12:53pm

DPD have just called but no phone, pet food 😞. When I seen the van pull up I thought I was right. 😂 looks like Monday

Nickindublin · 11-02-2023 1:19pm

I have decided not to trade my S22 Ultra 256Gb as i feel the upgrade is not enough this year and the S21ultra trade in price is only €115 euro less. So ill wait a year. So ill be very interested in reviews of people who have upgraded from the S22 ultra.
