Nexus 4 ordering process

has anyone actually received a Nexus 4 or Nexus 10 from Flubit, and was everything in order?

Hmm anyone know how good flubit are at updating you? Ordered on the 19th and last update was "prossing order" hasent changed in days.

Terrible I ordered the same day as you. Got an email this morning stating that
there is a huge demand for this product and that's the reason for the delay.

He told me mine is processing still and should ship tomorrow. Probably be the same for you.

Feck, maybe I shouldn't have cancelled my order with google.

Google would have just cancelled it. I had two of mine cancelled before i went to Flubit. This phone better be amazing!

Yep your right, I've only just received the dispatch email from them 20 mins ago. Says it will be the 26th -29th for delivery so I'm guessing it will be after the weekend before I get my hands on it.

I ordered on Flubit last week. Just had a call from them today, sound guys. My address was down as an Irish address (ordered too quickly with paypal and didn't input my Parcel Motel address) and he asked did I have a UK address to ship to as it couldn't be sent to Ireland. I gave him my PM number and he say's it's dispatching in the morning.

He also knew the Parcel Motel address off by heart

That's a relief, I bet! Thanks for the update, it's good to know that it's going to work.

EDIT: I just also finally got my Play Store back to the good ol' emerald green Euro currency and content of Ireland. I followed zonda999's recommendations in this post, including the last step of buying a paid app (so as zonda999 mentions, I too am not sure if any of the steps are irrelevant). It took about 30-60 minutes after completing the steps for the change to occur but your mileage may vary.

What day did you place your order with them? It's just that I placed mine last Tuesday & I had an email Wednesday stating it would take at least a week. I've heard nothing since

Last Tuesday also. I did email them at the end of the week for an update. The guy on the phone told me that they're dispatching a batch of orders tonight/tomorrow am - hopefully yours is one of them!!

Thanks for that. Will keep an eye on my email so.

If anybody ends up with a second 16GB phone and wants to pass it on at cost, drop me a pm as I'll take it! Thanks!

You can have mine.. Will send you a pm as a few others before you appear to have got sorted..

I ordered and received my Nexus 4 at the start of march. Did the whole tunnelbear, parcel motel, added uk postcode to end of cc address. The proccess went very smoothly and the phone arrived within 1 week.
I had a cover ready for it when it arrived and put in on straight away.
So far so good.
However, last week, I noticed that the back cover was loose (only when a friend was looking at it, having taken off the cover).
The issue is: about half way up on the power button side, the cover can be pushed in , which makes a squeeking/creeking sound. (about 1 mm of movement. It looks as if perhaps an internal plastic hook or clip holding this part has broken. nothing fatal, but annoying)

Anyway, i phoned google (put +44 in front of the help number provided when you go through the uk play store. It actually says to phone them rather than email for a device return or fault)
They said that they would exchange the handset. In order to do this, they would send a new one out, and then I'd have to send back mine within 21 days. They would also have to put a charge on my card for the price of the phone, and only take it if they do not receive my phone. No worries.
they emailed with an order form, which is pre filled with PM address and details. Did that. (that was Monday) Today I got the " multiple account " mail.
So now what is my best course?

I would ring them back. The fact that you received it first time around there shouldn't really have been any issue with this one from a customer service point of view.

I had to get a replacement and didn't have any issues.

Thanks Rhonin,

Was it long ago since you got the replacement? Did you use the parcel motel route ?
