Mi Mix 3 5G - 239GBP - Parcel Motel

koutoubia · 05-05-2020 11:04pm

I think I gave up at one point and came back to it and it worked.

horse7 · 06-05-2020 12:59am

I'm giving up now, I'll try again at 8am, it's 1 am now.

horse7 · 06-05-2020 9:11am

Still no luck with it this morning.

koutoubia · 06-05-2020 9:45am

Bizzare.

horse7 · 06-05-2020 9:50am

I get to payment, complete the visa details, get code from bank to verify transaction, but still no go, I'm thinking of ringing them?

PreCocious · 06-05-2020 9:52am

I've had a Mi account for a long time but I could never order from the UK site - not with Revolut, N26 or my Visa Credit. Tried about a month ago when there was an offer and no go - it would debit the card and then follow with an immediate refund.

Last week I was able to buy two phones (and they were delivered) without changing anything on my account - visa card + parcel motel. Must be some internal glitches going on..

horse7 · 06-05-2020 9:55am

I don't know if ringing them will help?

horse7 · 06-05-2020 11:26am

just been on to them in uk, they say the visa details address have to match the delivery address

koutoubia · 06-05-2020 11:29am

Ah bummer!

horse7 · 06-05-2020 1:47pm

Can't figure out how anyone paid for these phones.

Hi all sorry for jumping onboard this post. I'd just like to give my opinion on the xiaomi mi mix 3 5G. I bought two handsets last December for €280 each, from eglobal have to say I'm very happy them no trouble at all with them. The only problem i can see is Xiaomi don't seem to be updated it to Android 10, and have no plans two, which is a bit of a shame, if anyone else has any updates it would be great to here.

Tks

Got myself one around the same time, have you been able to connect it to 5G?
And which network are you using? I'm on Vodafone and 5G options just isn't available for some reason.

JAMCAR · 07-05-2020 3:22pm

I'm with Eir, but not on a 5G plan. I just got the phone to future proof myself because i
usually change my handset every 3 to 4 years and the phone specs are very good.
There is an online petition about the update,

horse7 · 07-05-2020 4:58pm

Can anyone explain how they got through the buying process.

Spotted on HUKD that Laptops Direct have them for £269, delivery £15 to Ireland, not as cheap as original post but cheaper than other sources.

Thanks op.
Ordered 2 Redmi 8's. One for myself and one for my son.
Dont need them yet but my sons Redmi7 has a badly cracked screen and was probably cheaper to buy a new one and keep the cracked as a spare.

So this has turned into a bit of a disaster.
My sons one is fine. My one ...well..turned it on and after a quick charge the screen became unresponsive and then got bricked.
Online support couldnt do anything so sent out a courier to take it back. Courier never came and had to be re-requested to be collected.
Heard nothing for weeks and eventually chased it up only to be told that they were waiting on a part.....then told that the part that was needed was no longer being made and a refund was offered.
I asked could I get a replacement phone but was told that that was another dept.
GAH!!!

horse7 · 06-06-2020 8:59am

Where did you get them from?

koutoubia · 06-06-2020 10:04am

From Xiaoni themselves.

horse7 · 06-06-2020 10:13am

Xaoimi UK?

koutoubia · 06-06-2020 10:48am

Yeah.From the link in the first page!

Thanks, just ordered one. Have the last version Mi Mix 3 and it's the best phone I've ever had! Battery life is fantastic.

Do you mind telling me how you got through the process, did you put in the parcel motel northern Ireland address as your address,? What telephone number did you input ? Did you use credit card? I am asking because I put in the parcel motel address in the North ,I don't think it would accept the parcel motel telephone number, It would not accept the payment. I called them and they say because the delivery address is not corresponding with my credit card it can't go through. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

I used my pal's address in Newry to ship it to and my mobile number. Said my shipping and billing address were the same, even though they're not. I paid through Paypal.

horse7 · 06-06-2020 1:21pm

The mi UK doesn't take PayPal, are you sure it wasn't mishop UK?

I've just got this phone myself, and with Vodafone. Think there's a 5G network in and around Grand Canal Dock but I haven't been in there since lockdown to test it.

Had the phone delivered to a friends house in Newry and only got up there yesterday to collect it. I currently use the Mi Max 3 which I love and bough this one on the spur of the moment and didn't really do my homework!

It's much smaller than I expected it to be and quite heavy. I haven't put in my sim card as I don't think I'm going to keep it, just been fiddling around with the apps via wifi.

Anyone interested in taking this off my hands before I put it up on Adverts? It's only been used for one day!

Security update just released for this. Brings it up to July 2020
