No? Sure whats point of letting you redirect and buy from other stores then.

Ah your right! I read the article wrong, it just has to be shipped to a UK address a la parcel motel should work! http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-v30-price-release-date-deals-796669/

If pre-ordered, might be worth it in the long run to avail of that google home mini and have the plug, 896 euro though. Still cheaper then buying off google store DE!

had it in my cart on UK store. ETA Dec 26th-28th, so sometime in 2018 realistically due to christmas and new year. Crazy stuff google, surprised they didn't figure out stock yet, especially after last year.

Drive to the North and pick up in store when available-
Make a day of it!

if only I was in dublin or so it would be fine. Cork to Newry is a bit far! haha

Carphonewarehouse sell them sim free / unlocked up north.

Listening to the ac podcast today mostly all about the pixel 2. Was surprised to hear there are no bundled headphones in the box. So you have to use the dongle or buy extra headphones.

If you go to reddit there are thousands of people wall to wall winge bagging about the lack of a headphone jack. And iv avoided posting about it here because I don't see it as an issue because the headphones that came with my U11 are absolutely excellent. But if there's no usb c headphones in the box with the pixel 2 then thats actually bullsh*t.

I made a trip up to Newry today in hopes of getting the original Pixel XL for £400. I'd been trying to order from the Carphone Warehouse website for the past few days, but they cancelled it every time. I set up two Revolut accounts and made the billing address match my Parcel Motel address, all to no avail. In the store, I was told they had one SIM free version left in stock, yet when the employee went to the storeroom to get it, she came back empty-handed and told me it had sold out. Now I've asked a relative in the UK to see if they can pick it up for me. Why is it so difficult for me to give this company my money?

I think you get this email when you order.

Did you do a parcel motel job to order the pixel 2?

I got a pending transaction of €900 for the Pixel XL 2 today on my Irish debit card. I haven't received any email about the Home Mini.

Cal you post and let us know if you get the offer mail? I thought it was active until the end of October.

If there is no mini, I'm just going to get a Nexus 5x for €200 instead. It was the mini/google assistant integration that was swaying me toward spending more than I normally would....

When I was buying the phone I went to the more info section and it said that once you have received your phone they will then send you an email with your Promo code for the Home Mini, is that not true if buying with an Irish debit card?

I'm really not sure, sorry.
