finally figured it out. Pop ups were turned on (even though the original flubit pop up with the paypal log in worked!)

When did you order your N10?

I ordered one from Flubit on Tuesday and it's sitting at payment received since then. The estimated delivery date is 4th June-10th June.

Paid on Monday morning and had an email around 10pm that night saying that the estimated delivery date had been updated to between Thursday (today) and Monday. No word from them since, I just happened to check my PM account on the off chance and there were a pair of parcel force packets checked in.

Still no sign or word on the phone...

any one having problems ordering through flubut in particular logging on to paypal?

When I try to log on to pay pal nothing happens ie hit the button and nothing

Happened to me, took me a moment to realize that my AdBlock Plus Chrome extension was the culprit. At least you figured it out too. Pain in the ass, right?

Well the Nexus 10 arrived, no sleep for me tonight!

A lovely bit of kit, makes me wonder how good the Nexus 4 will be :-D

So was 4 days from payment to delivery, for a N10 at least.

Whats the current lead time for the nexus 4?

Saw PC World have the nexus 7 32gb for €250. seems a decent price.

mo dhuine · 24-05-2013 10:21AM

I ordered and paid for 16GB Nexus 4 on 11th May.

It touched down in Parcel Motel Athlone at 6am this morning. 13 days!!!

Interestingly, the whole thing was like an adventure holiday with twists and turns, doubts and fears. My wife reckons I should order on Flubit more often... just for the excitement of it all.

Big thank you to Deciefer.... for the sticky and the support...

Now.... I have to figure out what to do with my first smartphone. Any pointers?

Dont drop it!

Read a few reviews last night and really worried about doing that now! Droped my iphone many many times and has one small scratch I dont think the Nexus 4 will have the same ruggedness

Flubit.com There's a sticky at the top of the forum that will give you the low down on it.

Sorry I meant what date did you order through Flubit? I'm waiting on dispatch from Flubit myself and wondering how long it takes.

gzoladz · 28-05-2013 05:03PM

How long did it take it for flubit to process? I got an email from them today saying that the delivery date was updated and it was actually delayed a few days...

Ordered (as in paid for) late Wednesday two weeks ago, so its working out at 13-14 days area like some others have experienced in this thread. All going well should have it Wednesday night.

On a side note the tracking number doesn't seem to be working on TNT's site like the last one did. Although it must be said they did send that out a few days after I received my N10!

Have you tried the tracking number in here?:
http://dol.techdata-europe.com/pod/track.aspx?CUSTID=GOOGLE&DNote=

Stick it in after the equals sign in the URI.

If it works and it says that it's in Dublin, then it'll continue on its quest to Northern Ireland the next day. Its progress can then be tracked here (using the DIR number on your UTi waybill as your tracking number):

http://www.parcelforce.com/track-trace
(it will probably only work after 10-11pm on the same day it hits Dublin, as for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be on the system before then)

The day after that, it'll hit Parcel Motel, so log in check the members' area. You won't be notified by Parcel Motel when it arrives at their depot, so you'll have to check it yourself. It usually gets put on the system between 11am and 2pm.

I got a txt & email fri 9pm that it was delivered at parcel motel, which was only a day (maybe 2) after it was sent. I found it really quite quick once flubit got the unit.

Cheers DECEiFER, that link wasn't giving me back any shipping info bar that a manifest had been sent. I tried some of the numeric codes on the page it generated with GLS and I got its tracking info. Somewhere between Dublin and NI at the mo, and should be getting freed from my local parcel motel in a little over 24 hours :-)

Perfect. Once it's shipped, it's always quick to get from A to B and then to C. The GLS tracker also works with the DIR number on the UTi waybill in the same way the Parcel Force one does. I believe it is GLS who take it from Dublin to NI, so either tracker is good. It'll definitely arrive up there by tomorrow afternoon and then back to Dublin and into your motel before it's dark.

Just so you're aware, Flubit never touch your order. When they order the device on your behalf, it's with your name and PM address. It still gets sent from Google in the exact same way as any order direct to Google would.

Really? Hmmmmm..... That's interesting, the security stickers on my nexus 10's box were broken. I was thinking that Flubit checked it first but nothing was touched inside (no finger prints on the screen etc).

gzoladz · 29-05-2013 06:13AM

I dont know if I can post links, but on the next web and the start up there are 2 interesting articles about flubit and their business model.

Very strange. Mine came fully intact. Flubit definitely don't get the order, it does go directly to PM from Google. Even if they did, it'd be bad form to open the whole package and it might even be a cause of troubles for them if someone claims damages. Looking at the box itself should be sufficient enough.

Well if its referb its the most perfect one I've ever seen. Unsuprisingly Bertie's name was on it, so they forgot to tick the box for the buying Google account not to be preloaded/linked/whatever you call it.

On a happier note I haz nexus 4, om nom nom! I have to say I'm surprised by how heavy it is and expensive it feels.

I found it light compared to my htc one-s and maybe cheaper built than it also

godtabh · 30-05-2013 08:31AM

Man its a long time to wait. I thought the turn around would be a lot quicker than this.

My order is still in processing. It was meant to ship yesterday. Update to today. I'm to impatient for this!

Same here, did you send them a message to get the updated shipping estimate of today?
