    what a farce
    ordered on the 1st and no update since

    google keep telling me that because it s so in demand i ll have to wait until the original estimated date which is on the 13th

    something tells me nothing will happen on the 13th

    Looking to order one of these. Just a quick question though.

    PM address i got in an email went

    my name,
    my PMID,
    PM,
    1A McKinney Road
    Mallusk,
    Antrim,
    BT36 4PE

    I don't write it like that do I when i'm in google wallet? I take out PMID and PM?

    Also how does the PM work when you're going to collect any info would be great.. Confused with the topaz collection point.

    Got the same date for mine, I'll be very disappointed if nothing happens by the evening of the 13th. I'm not very hopeful at this point.

    Same, 31st. Loads of other people are getting there's ordered after and delivered before, something's definitely shagged.

    ordered on 09/feb the status now its : pre-ordered, can any one tell me its that mean my order go though or they still can cancel it? thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭Couch Potato


    Need some advice after doing the following :

    1) setup brand new uk gmail account - ok
    2) added brand new credit card never before used with Google to the account with the Billing and Shipping address as Parcel Motel - ok
    3) Tunnel Bear to UK Play store - ok
    4) Ordered phone and when clicked accept .. nothing happened .. click accept again and then there were 2 orders created !
    5) Cancelled the first order and everything ok
    6) Google then suspended the account ... :(:(:(

    I have a good Irish Google account which I have another credit card attached to for App purchases - this card has transactions from the Play store on it already (Ireland)

    If I add the other card with the Parcel Motel address to the irish account will this work ? even though there are already transactions from another registered card ?

    Is it possible that as the card was already attempted to be used and suspended on another account will this cause a flag to be raised and this account then suspended also ?

    I don't want to screw up this account.

    Has anyone used a second card on their Irish gmail account with Billing and Shipping address as Parcel Motel where they have another card already setup and ALSO with Play tranasctions?

    General opinion seems to be that order can still be canceled at any stage up to when/if you receive a shipping notification by email. I'm in the same boat as yourself, ordered on 9/2/13 (second attempt!), and its still at pending.

    Here's my setup, it's been like this for almost a week now. I wish they would just tell me if I'm going to get it or not so I could buy elsewhere.

    Why does it say 'Purchased from: Google.... Dublin 4...'?
    Anything to do with the gmail account?

    Picked up my Nexus 4 this morning, and absolutely loving it! :)

    I tried, account was put on hold and I'm still not sure if it was unlocked as they never actually asked me to send in any documents, it just automatically cancelled any orders I made on the play store. I still have the phone on pre order though :confused:
    Sent them off an email a few days back, got a reply saying sorry about that, routine checks, blah blah blah please don't try and buy anything for 48 hours. If after 48 hours your orders are still being cancelled reply to this email. That 48 hours will be up at 7pm today and I'll be trying to buy something tonight anyway so I'll let you know if it works.

    tl;dr I've tried, account put on "hold", I'll update as things develop. Don't put yourself through this if you don't have too.

    Ordered yesterday, used PM as shipping and billing address, AIB Visa, my normal gmail account. Just got an email saying it shipped! I actually kinda can't believe it :D

    Was assuming i'd be waiting a couple of weeks so in no rush for it. (I say that now, I'll prolly be checking my for a PM debit every 5 mins on Monday :D )

    Edit - just to add that I didn't ring AIB to get the PM address added to the card or anything like that.

    On its way :D

    Btw, as other are saying, ignore the tracking info, it still hasn't shown a delivered line yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭marko_polo1234


    can you use an irish visa debit card with the northern ireland parcel motel address to order the phone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭advertsfox


    Ordered Feb 8th, UK Visa Debit added with PM address and just got the email to say its been shipped :D:)

    :(

    I'm on my third attempt at ordering. Have never once got passed the pending/pre-ordered stage. Never received anything more than the first update on google wallet where it says "You placed an order with Google....".

    Last attempt was ordering on the 8th also and still nothing. I think its time to throw in the towel on this one :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭Couch Potato


    So I am using tunnelbear to access UK play store
    when I order up the phone I login using my Irish Gmail account and I get the dreaded :

    Items not available to your country yet etc. ???

    What am I doing wrong.

    I added a new credit card to my irish gmail with PM addressing ..

    BTW - deleted all Google Cookies from my machine

    do i need to change my irish gmail account to a UK address ?

    Mate, I went to try again today without cancelling my first and it went to pre-ordered straight away... It really is a random process here. I have my friends UK Visa registered with my PM address as default but still have my home address on my account.

    Is the longest you've waited 4 days? Try more than one and be patient, let it get to the "Google has received your order" stage and cancel the other - give it at least a week.

    PS: I couldn't add my Ulster Bank card with my PM address, I actually still can't add it with my home address. Try a virtual Visa like above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 gunnai


    After two weeks wait I finally got a cancellation email just now. More than a bit annoying but at least I got some contact from them. Its very unlikely that I'm going to try again. Ah well, worth a shot I guess!

    When the status changed to Google has received your order, did you get an email for that change?

    I ordered 1 at 11pm IE time on the 7th Feb, but it's still at pre-order too! :mad:
