Nexus 4 ordering process

I got the dispatch email same time as you, so they must do orders in batches.

Flubit don't handle the item at all, so it's on it's way to Antrim now.
On the phone the girl said it will take two days so Friday fingers crossed

Quick enough so considering the bank holiday weekend. I was gearing up for Friday week to be honest. I hope it's early Friday, can collect it easy on the way home from work then!

Now to get a SIM card sorted!

Just for information Parcel Motel deliver on Saturdays too!

does anyone have the url for the nexus 4 on the play uk website

Reply to Stryderman:

Hi. I tried the google play url in the sticky last week but it didn't work. Flubit didn't recognise it. I called Flubit and a pleasant lady called Jess emailed me a valid url for the 16GB phone. It worked. I got my offer just now. The url is:

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_4_16_GB?id=nexus_4_16gb&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRldmljZS1uZXh1c180XzE2Z2IiXQ..

Remember this is for the 16GB.

Good luck

PS Well done to Decifer on the sticky. It gave me the confidence to bite the bullet.

Hi Deceifer

I tried it twice on Wednesday and thursday. It accepted the demand on both occasions but came back maybe 2 hrs later with the following:

We’re really sorry, but our team was unable to determine which exact product you wanted from the URL you provided us with. For us to be able to create you a better offer we need the link to a page where the item is available for immediate sale and home delivery.

That's when I called Flubit.

You can probably tell that I'm a newbie at this kind of stuff. If I missed a trick, then I'm sorry. I think Google play uk may have adjusted their urls.

Thanks again for the sticky.

I've been away for the weekend so I didn't get to post an update.

30 April 10:22 - Created Flubit demand
01 May 17:09 - Flubit offer created
01 May 18:43 - Flubit offer accepted & paid
07 May 16:30 - Flubit Dispatch email
*09 May 14:05 - Parcel Motel received package
09 May 14:47 - Package left Belfast depot
09 May 20:25 - PM Dublin, Package loaded on delivery van
09 May 20:27 - PM Package in transit to local motel
10 May 06:27 - Package stored in local motel
10 May 06:45 - Package collected by customer

Yes, I couldn't sleep :P

* I received my dispatch e-mail at the same time as FitzShane but his phone was received by PM in Belfast a day earlier than mine and therefore he received it a day earlier. I think it's because I accidentally left out "Parcel Motel" in my delivery address so the courier didn't deliver it the first day with FitzShane's phone, as he rightly thought that I didn't live in the Nightline depot.
So for anyone looking at ordering you can expect it to take a day shorter than me.

I am in the middle of an RMA with Google.
Have to say I am having a nightmare. I got 2 RMA's cancelled on me using the same details as my original order.
Its obvious that I got lucky in the first place by receiving the original order.
I have sent about 50 emails and 6 phone calls to Google support.
I made my last phone call this evening to them. I was on the phone for 45 mins and got the guy to read all my emails and demanded he talk to a superviser while I wait.
I finally got put through to someone who agreed I could get a refund due to the nightmare I had of trying to get a replacement.
So I think(hope) now that TNT will send a package to my PM address in a couple of days and I will then send it back via TNT.
I will have to reconsider what phone I will get when/if my refund goes through.
Saying that u may be lucky and it will sail through
Best of luck

finally got my refund.
I was pissed off with the run around I got and I have just got the SG4.

Get out of here, traitor! How dare you commit such sacrilege inside this sacred Nexus 4 thread?! :mad:

Ha, just kidding. Glad it finally got sorted for you. It was a long enough wait, I have to say. The S4 is one of the few phones that can pin the Nexus 4 down and have it begging for mercy.

Any tips to offer fellow Boardies in case they have the same hassle as you with Google?

Cheers Deceifer.
yea I loved the N4 but just was pissed off with the whole event.
I wanted a replacement N4 but Google couldnt even manage that.
in the end it took about 50 emails and 6 phone calls to get it sorted.
have to say Google were terrible to deal with. Numerous promises of being told it would be sorted but nobody bothered their ass looking into any further after their initial response to an email or phone call. .
In the end I told customer support this would be the last phone call I make and demanded to talk to a supervisor.
Finally they agreed a refund would be best.
my friend was over in Dublin so I gave him the TNT return shipping package thst I got sent to my pm address.
He rang TNT in London when he got back and they collected it.
Just glad its sorted now.
it just wasnt meant to be :-)

Apologies if I'm being dense, but I don't see this referenced in the stickied thread. When I try this url:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb
I get the dreaded "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet." message.

You need to keep reading on and follow the instructions below where I put the URLs. It doesn't say anywhere that you need to visit the URL. You just put the URL into Flubit.com and they'll handle it from there.

Please keep reading and if you have any additional queries, don't hesitate to post.


EDIT: Goddamn it, I've just noticed a horrible spelling mistake in the first instruction point and I can't edit the post in order to correct it.

What a nightmare, it's "registed." This is killin' me!

Hmm I got my flubit dispatched email on the 10th and it says delivery between 22nd to 28th of May...is there any way to track this better? Seems a very slow delivery schedule

The delivery schedule is very slow since the Nexus 4 is in such high demand. But that estimate does seem particularly slow.

If you check on the previous page you can see how long it took from dispatch to delivery for me and I only got it last week so I'd imagine yours will be similar.

If you didn't get a tracking number you can contact Flubit and they will give you info on where it currently is.
Or alternatively keep an eye on your MyParcelMotel page as it will get updated once they receive the package, usually happens around 2PM.

How long does flubit usually take to process? Am I thinking I'm being to anxious waiting for an update?

Status Update:
07-05-2013 21:43 Payment Received Your order is now being prepared for dispatch
07-05-2013 21:42 Payment Pending Currently processing payment
07-05-2013 21:36 Order Started Order Created

i had a callback from them yesterday afternoon to say it had shipped and should have been delivered yesterday to Parcelmotel. Still nothing from them though...hopefully before the weekend

Just ordered today, now the waiting process can begin..... Hurry up Flubit!
