thats not directly sold by amazon so their return policy wouldn't be as good as direct

still they also sell it direct via amazon.de as 569e

Will the price of the S8 fall after Xmas day and for new year sales do ye think.The wife wants one as her xmas present but is willing to hold out a few weeks.Can get a new one on Adverts for €560 including delivery and shop receipt but wonder if Amazon prices might drop as always found then good with resolving issues and they likely to be around for a long time.

You could study camelcamelcamel for past models and see if you can figure it out. For what it is I doubt you'll find it cheaper than that. This phone is already very good value at that price.

Increase your liability for a further fee

Bought an S8 from Mobile Time on Bolton Street yesterday for €560 with a case. Second phone I've bought from them.

Phone box was sealed and factory unlocked out of the box. They also gave me a proper 3 pin Samsung fast charger. Phone's perfect.

the_blackstuff · 20-12-2017 1:06am

HI on a side note. What cases are people buying/recommending for this phone (S8). Just bought one from amazon de and I want to protect it right.

rizzee · 20-12-2017 10:09am

Can't go wrong with an Otterbox Symettry and a case friendly glass protector.

I've recently changed to a Rhino Shield and it's very very good. It's bumper-only but that hasn'tput me off it, still get a good feel of the phone and it's lightweight. 21 euro delivered on ebay, I still have my glass protector on the front and I've a plastic one on the back. No issues at all.

Say the ones on amazon for €534 and added to basket.15 mins later went to pay and back up to €569.

Did you select shipping to Ireland? We have a higher VAT rate so it applies that if you're shopping here. Might be worthwhile shopping to Parcel Motel as the UK VAT rate is lower....

just got a s8 plus from amazon.it bought from amazon.it and not from any seller
the phone arrived in a used condition, box had dirt and scratches smudges on it. The seal was sticked on an older seal (double sticker).

It seems like some of these irish sellers are selling phones that are blacklisted in the UK, or they’ blacklisted soon after they’re sold. Have a look on the Android forum.

Take pictures of everything and send them a message with as much info as possible. If the phone is damaged on arrival you have to return it.

They have placed a replacement order already, but i need to return it and pay for postage which will be refunded to me. Painful process

My mate bought an s8 from Mobiletime 3 months ago and its still coming back as clean so I for one would recommend Mobile time as a good seller.

I bought a Samsung "Brand New" from one of these shops recently. Just checked the imei and its blacklisted. Should I be worried? It's working perfectly. Will this affect resale value? Would the likes of CEX check imei if I went to trade in down the line etc?

No idea but something is clearly up if its been blacklisted. I'd be at least going back to the shop for an explanation.

It's a pity you had an issue but that hardly sounds painful.

BArra · 04-01-2018 10:41pm

Would have higher expectation from amazon direct to not get a returned item, dealing with and waiting for the new item, unessesary inconvience for sure, though.

ballybro · 04-01-2018 10:54pm

Which Dublin shops are peoplw buying from.Looking for feedback .Will need to get it posted to me.

rizzee · 05-01-2018 10:03am

Can there be a sticky post on post #1 or something with the name of the shops people have bought from and the price/experience with them? Instead of every 2nd or 3rd post asking about ''the shops in Dublin people bought from''.

Down to €499 on Amazon Germany.
Works out about €513 wth parcel motel or parcel wizard. Cost more to send to Ireland because of higher postage rate and higher VAT

Great price. The rear mounted fingerprint sensor is a bit of a turnoff though.
