    Just got my Google Nest Hub Max - the one with the screen, not the big speaker guy - and just to say that in terms of sound it is much better that the Google Home

    My stuff on Adverts, mostly Tesla Pre Highland Model 3

    Was ready to pull the trigger then saw the Lenovo 8" screen down to €99 and 10" to €139, trying to decide if the hub is worth the extra.

    Dixons UK travel shops have the hub max for £175 (about the same price as John Lewis above).

    Sorry should have sent Komplett but just looked and it must have been a cyber Monday deal.as they've gone back up. Am going to get a hub max on Saturday in the UK when I'm over for the Leinster game on Saturday (£175 in Dixons Travel).

    Stupid question, but what does duo pack mean? It reads like its 2 for 1, but obviously that doesnt make any sense!

    A mistake, obviously, as it's showing as £359 now....dearer than buying two single units!

    Ordered the Nest doorbell for a friend. Hot it sent to Parcel Motel and its showing on Royal Mail as being delivered and signed for on December 2nd but nothing showing in my Parcel Motel account.

    Anyone have anything similar happening or delayed like this? I'll give them a call in the morning out just thought I'd check here to see if there was anything similar experienced by you

    Just had an order from Google UK cancelled. I ordered the home hub. No reason given.

    Annoying as I ordered another one off them last week and it was delivered no problem.

    Order cancelled here too (Parcel Motel), and of course it's back to full price so can't re-order it at the offer price from somewhere that will actually deliver it.

    What a bunch of cnuts...

    Can anyone remember if post Christmas sales match the black Friday ones for hubs etc.

    The reason I ask is I ordered a hub max for collection from Dixons East Midlands airport tomorrow, only thing is they have said they are closing early as its winter (?) and I wont get back to tbe airport in time to collect (have not paid). Tried Dublin airport and they'll sell me one at €235 but that's higher than the irish black friday price (I reserved at £175).

    All UK retailers who have in stock.(some don't) are back at £219

    What annoys me is I had one delivered last week via parcel motel. So I didn't think twice about using PM again.

    Mine shows as delivered at Parcel Motel on Thursday but no text or email yet. Looks like they are a bit behind with Christmas etc.

    I contacted Royal Mail because it looked like it was only signed into their delivery office and not parcel motel, according to the tracker, spent 35 minutes on the phone with no human answering, contacted Google, they were less than useless and followed up with an email telling me to call royal mail.

    I then phoned parcel motel, they sorted everything in 2 mins and it was sitting at my collection point aboutn8 hours later.

    The issue was actually on my end. The name on the package was for the person I ordered it for but the PMID was mine so they didn't k is now what to do with it.

    Is it still €229 in the airport now? I really wanted a Hub Max to pair with my nest hello doorbell but I think £219 is too much.

    :( Maybe its possible to use an old Android tablet as a replacement..

    Yep paid €229 at dublin airport T1 yesterday. Cheaper than £219 which is the UK high street price at the moment (not as cheap as the £175 black friday UK duty free price i reserved but could not collect).
