Apple is showing that my HomePod Mini was delivered successfully to Parcel Motel in Antrim at 8:30am this morning - but the Parcel Motel site is saying that I have no parcels waiting. What SHOULD happen?

Apparently there are often delays with Royal Mail deliveries because royal mail mark it as delivered but then the parcels need to be sorted into cages etc before being loaded to go to Dublin so can add a day apparently. Although I would have assumed the same for all of the couriers but anyways!

Surprisingly loud for such a small thing. Like everyone else has said, it's also surprisingly small - just a bit bigger than a tennis ball. Goes about 50 to 60 per cent as loud as a full HomePod and sounds, I'd say, about 60 to 70 per cent as good. That's a lot of sound quality for the price. Ideal for a bedroom or kitchen. You're not going to be DJing a party with one, but for 90 per cent of most people's audio needs, this is a great device. Otherwise, it's got Siri on it, and works just like a big homePod. My main regret is not buying two of them. Looks like getting another one is going to take a long time - Apple showing delivery times into January now.

Metalpanic wrote: » Finally got mine last night and set it up. First impressions, it's smaller than I thought it would be, but heavier too. Feels like a premium quality product. Set up was very simple. I took the advice given here and changed my Siri language settings to the UK so everything worked as it should. When it first played some music, wow! It packs a wallop for its size. I would be very tempted to buy a second and pair them for stereo after hearing it. I also really like the sling feature, handing audio from your phone to HomePod. I didn't read that it hands it back too, should you need to. Very good start and I hope to continue enjoying it and expanding into some HomeKit smart home products soon.

At 9pm last night I get a text to say it’s been delivered and signed for. Except it wasn't. The courier company isn’t open at night. Not great. Lodged a complaint with Fastway this morning and with littlewoods. We'll see what happens. Hope whoever has my HomePod is enjoying it.
