    Ugh, eGlobal still haven't dispatched. Ordered this time last week. I've had no contact since ordering and opened a ticket on Saturday asking about my order this was the response:

    Yeah cheers lads, there might be a chance it's out of stock... how about you tell me if it is out of stock and I can order elsewhere. Considering cancelling now. Not too sure.

    Yup really not happy with the service. If they could give a definitive answer on when it will be in stock I could decide to cancel or not. They replied to my latest complaint this morning but didn't even answer if it's in stock/when will it be, they just offered a 3 euro discount lol.

    Don't order from https://thesolutionshop.global/ They've been fobbing me off on an order that was supposed to ship between the 1st and 5th.

    I am in the same boat with eglobalcentral.eu. Ordered the phone last week and money has been taken from my account. Order status is still showing as "processing". I have just raised a ticket on the site. Complete lack of communication from them to date.

    When did you order? I oreder a white/gold Mi A1 on the 5th of Dec and the order status is "Processing" at the moment.

    I ordered from geekbuying (german warehouse) on the 6th and my order is still processing. They have taken payment, but no updates since!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,146 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    There could just be a shortage of stock all round on the run up to Christmas. They all claim to have stock to secure the orders with a hope of getting some supply. We might all be stuffed. :(

    eGlobal order still processing. No response to my queries after their first response. Ordered on the 5th of Dec.

    Got onto Solutionshop on Livechat to ask would it be ready for dispatch if I was to order now and got
    "I'm afraid we're facing some stock shortages at the moment with the Mi A1. Given the situation, there might be some delays in dispatching orders for the Mi A1."

    Yup I just put in a ticket to cancel my eGlobal order and will probably go with Honorbuy, got my current phone off them with no hassle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 markmmmm


    think they only have the black model in stock at the moment


  • Subscribers, Paid Member Posts: 44,245 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    I had no problem at all ordering from the solution shop global. I think I had the phone within 5 days.

    I'm waiting on another which I ordered from geekbuying German warehouse... Ordered 8 days ago and tracking says its in Ireland. Hope to get it tomorrow or the next day

    I ordered the gold one from eglobal on the 30th of November.

    It has been at the processing stage since but I recieved this in an email this morning.

    "We are pleased to inform you that your order will be dispatched soon . Tracking number will be available within 48 hours after dispatch."

    Status has changed to packing and delivering.

    Don't order from https://thesolutionshop.global/ They've been fobbing me off on an order that was supposed to ship between the 1st and 5th.

    This was dispatched on 11th and delivered on the 12th (can't complaint about that!). I originally ordered gold, but there was no stock. If they had told me this on day one, I would have changed the order then and saved time.

    My geekbuying order from their German warehouse was delivered today.
    it was €225.84 delivered (9 days after order made)
    i found a coupon on line to get €8.45 off, which took a large chunk out of the €14.88 delivery fee.

    i understand that the italian warehouse is cheaper to deliver from, but they are out of stock at the moment.

    if you use the code 4OFFSITE you get about €8.83 off the price from the spanish or german warehouse currently...

    how long before your order moved from "processing"?

    I have ordered from the same place a week ago and have heard nothing. They have taken payment, but status hasn't changed since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭Hayezer


    eGlobal got onto me late last night offering 3 euro discount again after I put in a ticket to cancel my order and then quickly replied saying the phone is back in stock and can be dispatched today so I said fine go ahead with it lol. Status is packing and delivering soon like otehrs have said.

    This email had a tracking number and link to GLS who were the couriers.
