    Still no mail, but mine's shown up in my account now, wasn't there when I checked yesterday which is why I was a tad worried.
    Order date is showing as yesterday rather than Monday. But time's come back in to 3-4 weeks

    Yep once you got it online and a delivery timeline you'll be grand.

    It will probably be there tomorrow

    I have a preorder, but managed to bag the phone at a decent price off adverts this week

    Before I cancel it, does anyone here want to take it? I've emailed support to see if it's possible to change the paypal account on the order, as I haven't been charged yet. It's due for delivery in 2-3 weeks. Only thing is if it's not possible to change the paypal account you'd need to send me the money before it ships as I've just spent the money I had aside on my own phone!

    Can change the delivery address then and you'll get it.

    £285.78 - includes a green protective case (which I'll take and pay for if not wanted) - ~€365

    (PS - I love this phone)

    Great news from the OPO forums:
    Steven W, Administrator, Staff Member

    So how are you all enjoying your OnePlus Ones? We've ramped up production month by month to meet the seemingly unquenchable demand for the OnePlus One. Dedicated fans who have been following our progress should have little problem finding an invite these days.

    Now down to the nitty gritty. Contrary to popular belief, invites are not dead in a post pre-order world. However, since most of you have already purchased a device, the invites focus again shifts to shareables. This month, all customers who purchased the phone in August, September, and October will receive 3 shareable invites lasting 7 days. It’s a tall task and we've upped our production yet again to keep up with the demand. Secondly, all forum members up to at least 320K will receive 1 day individual invites. Our forum members are increasing rapidly and it’s great to see you all sticking around even after purchasing the device.

    The goal going forward is to further reach the mainstream audience. We've all seen OnePlus grow tremendously these last couple of months. We've grown with the support of this community. In order to take the next step as a company and create more great products, we need to gain more mainstream support. We’re positively certain we will accomplish this goal together!

    Full thread here I bought 3 OPOs in October and only received one invite (now gone) so will be raffling off most of the rest. Also I'm pretty sure I'm < 320k (that's membership number not no of posts :)) so should be getting another 24 hour invite too.

    Yep, mine too. Now expected to ship within 3 days.
    I got 4-6 weeks as estimate when preorder went through

    Just got the second email now confirming the order.

    Not that id worry in anyway, it was on my online account since yesterday!

    :eek:

    As of yesterday it was expected to take 3-4 weeks

    Payment has been taken and its pending shipment.

    Wow! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭amby666


    When or how do you get the invite after you buy? I bought a few weeks ago and got delivery, but have seen nothing of an invite yet.

    I have my phone over two months and I only received one invite so far, I received it about two weeks ago.

    I was 4-6 weeks at order, now 2 weeks, although still "pending authorisation".
    That's with standard shipping, although I'm assuming that only affects the delivery time after it's shipped


    Bah! Just checked my email, the Paypal authorisation failed for some stupid reason. They'll try again in a few days. Weirdly, Crashplan mailed me this morning too to say my plan renewal failed. Just used my credit card though, so don't think it's that, unless AIB have blocked my card again for suspicious transations (i.e. using Hailo)

    If anyone has a spare invite to give away I'd love it, it'd be most appreciated!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25 mushroom


    Hey, could somebody hook a brother up with an invite?

    My S3 was stolen in Coppers 2 weeks ago and I've been hoping on an OPO invite since. I'm a <320k member of the OPO forums so I should receive a 24 hr invite within the month, but if somebody gives me an invite, I'll obviously pay the other one forward.

    Which ends up cheaper - ship to UK or Germany? Anyone get shafted with customs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,573 ✭✭✭digitaldr


    Germany with mailboxde.com but haven't tried it myself yet - used Parcelmotel for my OPOs & paid extra to increase the insurance. No customs issues as they ship from their EU warehouse.

    Ahh, so the VAT's paid.. Cool. I thought because it was a Chinese company they might be doing the dog sending "computer parts €10" packages.

    Parcelmotel would be the handiest I suppose, but I wonder what's the cheapest way of paying in euro.. Is mailboxde the cheapest equivalent across the eurozone I wonder?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,573 ✭✭✭digitaldr


    Ordering the opo from the German site is cheapest due to poor sterling exchange rate when using the UK site. Even though shipping charge with mailboxde.com is more than Parcelmotel it still works out cheaper overall due to lower purchase price.

    I'd love an invite if anyone can help me out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 Trevaldo


    Hi guys, just wondering if there are any invites for the OnePlus floating around? If someone could please help me out it would be much appreciated :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭Skittlebrau


    Hi all,

    Another invite seeker here.. Need to upgrade my Nexus 4.

    Thanks a mil.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,573 ✭✭✭digitaldr


    No invites have been given out for the past few weeks but they're due to resume soon. When this happens I'll be sure to post here.

    Got an email yesterday morning from Oneplus saying they're trying to sort out the Paypal, so sounds like it's a more widespread problem on their end

    [edit]
    Just came across the thread on reddit
    Looks like the issue is possibly that when the Oneplus servers were getting hammered last week, they didn't pass the shipping address info through to Paypal, so when they try to take the payment now, it's failing. Either that or they mucked up storing the Paypal details on their side. It's definitely a wider issue though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 Trevaldo


    Disaster doesn't look like I'll be getting one anytime soon so... Never mind finding an invite first. 😢


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭Grudaire


    Seems like it might be back up judging by Reddit comments..?

    Hoping someone has an invite - My Samsung S3 refuses to charge, and it's a pain switching batteries for charging!

    :)

    Has anyone bought one from a thirdparty site? Oppomart for example. Are they legit?
