mine arrived to my brother-in-laws office this morning :-)

When was it sent and where was it going?

I think I'll have to close my web browser to get any work done today

MiCr0 · 21-01-2013 12:10PM

it was delivered to an office building in central london, so it was send and delivered all in one morning

brasher · 21-01-2013 12:33PM

Mine was sent from Computer 2000 in Birmingham on the 18th and arrived in Dublin today. If it makes it back to Parcelmotel in Dublin by Friday I'll be happy. But I've waited this long it doesn't really matter. My Galaxy S1 running 4.2.1 is actually not too bad

I'm convinced mine has been deteriorating since I ordered the N4. I might try and drop the new phone less

brasher · 21-01-2013 01:46PM

Just after I ordered my N4 the home button stopped working on my S1. I remapped the keys but you can't do a 3 button combo without it. So I dismantled it to clean the contacts and managed to break the mobile radio antenna and the menu button. I ordered both, installed them and reinstalled a clean CM10 running 4.2.1. Fingers crossed it behaves itself for a while now!

Mine got sent on Friday to a UK address so hopefully they get it today and whip it over to me. They ordered it for me on 5th December 5-6week wait. Looking forward to getting it now!

Lads, when is this phone just going to be available without having to jump through hoops?

I just want to buy it without having to run through all this parcelmotel bollox.

Nobody knows, there hasn't even been rumours of Google making the devices store available in Ireland?

It actually wasn't that bad. It's one extra step (the parcelmotel business) over the normal order process. Although there is a chance they will just cancel it on you. But if it works, it works.

Got my shipping email this morning - phone is in Dublin, making it's trip to Parcel Motel to come all the way back again!

I have the DIR reference on the UTI website since about 10.30am but when I track this with GLS - I get No Data Found. Is it working yet for anyone else or how long does it normally take to show up?

where did you order the poetic cover?
amazon are looking for £10 for the cover and then £14 for postage :eek:

I got it from amazon, don't think it was that expensive though! But it was part of a large order so it would'nt have stood out. It is a very nice case though, presuming you're considering it.

How do you know that GLS are doing the Irish part of the delivery ? I tried my shipping refs but they are not in the system. It's possible that they haven't been handed over yet and are still sitting on a pallet in the airport.

Pg 62 of this thread explains the routing from people who received it in the past. UTI - GLS - ParcelForce

Just got my TNT shipping notice.
Ordered the 5th December.

pmilo · 21-01-2013 07:33PM

I've been waiting for the N4 to come back in stock since before christmas (was supposed to be my christmas present!)
Just wondering is it possible to forward order it from the UK or did you guys all order while in stock??

I think the only option is to order when it allows you (as obvious as that may sound). I don't think its ever really "in stock" its just that at points in time they take orders like they did in early December.

D_BEAR · 21-01-2013 07:42PM

Just got shipping notice Re-ordered on the 10th of December after first one was cancelled.

pmilo · 21-01-2013 07:48PM

May keep a close eye on the play store from now on so!

markad1 · 21-01-2013 08:15PM

Anyone's DIR reference number go live on GLS yet?
Mine still shows not found, the uti number changed to DIR this morning.

Not working here either. Could they be using a different courier?

Up for me too. Still in Dublin so I'm gonna assume delivery will be Wednesday at the earliest

brasher · 21-01-2013 10:46PM

Yep, mine is showing up in GLS as being in Dublin. Sounds like all of our phones are hanging out in Blanch for the evening.

markad1 · 21-01-2013 11:34PM

Gls is up, nothing showing on parcelforce yet

youcancallmeal · 22-01-2013 12:14AM

I wonder if you rang GLS could you get them to change the delivery address with proof of id?

markad1 · 22-01-2013 12:34AM

Parcelforce up now too.
Parcelmotel should have it in the morning :-)

johnh87 · 22-01-2013 01:33AM

Does your parcel force say:
Status Advised
Signed for by blank?

Yup. Just means that the parcel ID has been entered into their system, but they haven't collected it yet.

brasher · 22-01-2013 08:24AM

Parcelforce status updated to Loaded to vehicle for delivery.

Yeah same here with GLS. Parcel Motel might get it back down to Dublin in time for the 7pm update tonight but most likely 7am tomorrow
