Is there an alternative to Parcel Motel?

Addresspal by An Post - they are slower and dont think have option to extend liability. They can take upto a week to deliver to your local post office from when they recieve it. You dont get any updates up until that point. Had few parcels with them that only had option for mainland UK. All arrived fine but nothing of high value ordered.

There is also Parcel Wizard by DPD - Have never used them.

Suppose it's better to risk a stock delay than increase the odds of it going 'missing' in transit.

Cancelled the order from Samsung. Went to Amazon instead

Micky 32 · 08-08-2019 3:09pm

I think i'm going to get the SD855 version. Some of the experts reckon the 9825 still won't come close. Apparently even the S10 with 9820 is slower than the SD845 S9!

Yes i know, not many people might notice but when you spend 1k+ on a phone it would just bug me i have the inferior model....

The problem is getting them to pay you out. Waiting a month here. Others on trustpilot/facebook waiting for even 4-5 months and still not paid.

I wouldn't be having any of that now. A book arrived from Amazon with them before and the book was damaged. I was able to prove to parcel motel that based on the pic from their email the box was intact when they received it and they refunded me the full cost of the damaged book within 48hrs of my complaint.

Sure many of the parcels arrive requiring a signature. If I have proof Parcel Motel received it and then lost it they'd have no leg to stand on. AT least Parcel motel take pics of items they receive. What's the chance of the same thing happening to Amazon deliveries??

I also heard if they do pay you never get full value of the phone,.

Ordered the 5G myself from amazon earlier.

For anyone thinking of using Parcel Wizard from DPD, my last three deliveries from them (over the past fortnight) have been left outside my door. 2 of them where left while I was in the house, doorbell never rang. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, wouldn't fancy trusting them with a €1k phone!

Micky 32 · 08-08-2019 5:14pm

I'm thinking of ordering an unlocked SD855 10+ off the Samsung USA website and having it sent to my cousins house in the USA. I'll be visiting there in the next couple of months. That should work?

My parcel, a phone worth 830 Euros was delivered by Amazon Italy to them, signed for and even checked in with picture of the parcel taken. Nothing since. Have been calling and emailing since 14th July.

As I mentioned earlier all was good until recently, their CS was efficient and dealt with queries within certain time frame but now they a bunch of inexperience people working who dont even know how to talk on a phone and the fact none of their calls are recorded they get away with it.

If you ordered from Amazon direct, you can refuse delivery if any damage to box and they have one of the best CS teams out there so it will be dealt with very quick.

If its going to be a couple of months why not just wait and pick one up in a store there? Might drop in price a bit also.

Eglobal sell the SD ones and their prices are well below here after couple of weeks of release.

You scared me enough so cancelled with Samsung UK and ordered from Amazon. Only noticed too that the Note 10 has no SD card slot. Only the 10+

I have to say I'm disappointed with the lack of pre order deals, I would have thought a pair of headphone at least for the lack of headphone jack.

I deinitely won't be buying a non 5G version of this so if anyone had a link for a Amazon or Microsoft option I'd appreciate it, I have this but the "UK Version" is putting me off

That's the one I bought. The UK version I assume just means it's in english as default and an exynos chip.

The usa unlocked one has the most LTE bands so handier when roaming, Hong Kong version you get on eglobal has missing bands compared to irish/ uk model.

If you preorder on Samsung US you get 150 dollars toward accessories.

Are the unlocked ones easy enough to pick up in stores? I thought they would be carrier versions mostly.

My S10 I got from Vodafone was unlocked from the get go. I suspect (and it's been mentioned elsewhere) that these carrier devices will be unlocked.

These Notes haven't impressed me at all, especially the vanilla note 10. 1080p, no sd card, no headphone jack. For close to a grand. To be honest a note 9 looks like a much better deal.

They might have carrier bloat on the usa models. Also each carrier phones have different bands, with some missing they are all different models. The unlocked direct from Samsung usa are the most complete phones when buying a Snapdragon 855 version.

That's why you'd buy the 10+.

08-08-2019 10:11pm

For the first time in over a decade, I might hold onto a phone for over a year. My Note 9 is still going strong, and I really can't see anything that's a huge improvement on the 10.

I guess the same could have been said going from the 8 to 9, but I got the 9 for just over €600 (€800 less VAT through 3) on release, so it was easy to justify. Can't see any chance of getting the Note 10+ for anything close to that this year.

Question for anyone who bought from Amazon or Samsung UK especially in the past. Who have you insured/ will you insure your phone with?

I have seen some companies only insure a device purchased in Ireland so I don't want to get caught out.

I've never had phone insurance since I first bought a phone in 1997 but there must be companies willing to insure non network devices.

Yeah absolutely. Basically it covers the price of the 5G upgrade for free.
Decent range of options to trade-in.

dan786 · 09-08-2019 4:38am

The trade offer is valid with most retailers in UK. Its just a bonus trade in promo for £100. You need to trade in a device and also send it to UK to claim.

They send a prepaid envelope for UK customers. From here you will have to find address and cover cost yourself. They might decline it once it reaches
Dont think its being run here in Ireland.

mooneyd · 09-08-2019 7:53am

Are all of the 5G models dual SIM?
All of the Samsung titles say the wrong screen size and dual SIM for the 5G so I'm just a little concerned

markad1 · 09-08-2019 8:51am

£400 trade in offer for the note 9 128GB or 512GB.

Having paid extra for the 512GB phone I would have expected a bit of a difference between the two on trade in.

Might change my order to the 256GB phone.

TitianGerm · 09-08-2019 3:28pm

I really like the look of the standard N10 and I think the N10+ would be a bit big for my hands.

Currently using a OP5 so ready for something new and would have pre-ordered if they had of had a watch/buds etc freebie but now I'll wait and see what they feel like in hand and either get the N10 or S10+.

Decisions decisions.

unklerosco · 09-08-2019 3:43pm

With the trade in deal when they say 'faulty' how faulty can the phone be? Missus is a professional phone destroyer and I've an S7 & S9 here with completely destroyed screens on them. Phone works but the screens are f&%(ed... Does that county as faulty?

dan786 · 09-08-2019 5:35pm

Still undecided. Dont need 5G so Three at 1049 looks the best deal but they only have black for some reason. Want the Aura Glow one.

Clareman · 09-08-2019 5:45pm

My take on it is that 5G will be here soon so for the extra ~10% it'd be madness not to go for it now, if nothing else it'll make it easier to sell on.

1 thing that always annoys me about buying a new phone is that they have to be put in a case straight away cause I'm so clumsy which means the different colours don't make a difference to me

rizzee · 09-08-2019 9:06pm

Is there a standard Note 10 5g coming or is it just available in USA and Korea (gsmarena source) ? Would rather the smaller model over the Pro.

afaik the 10 doesn't have a 5G option, only the 10+

Also, when it comes to colour... Always black!

It just goes to show how innovating Apple is.
When Apple removed the audio jack it shouldn't have taken Samsung so long to realise that keeping the audio jack and SD card slot is no longer viable.
Deleting previous smug adverts is not good for a companies image.

I assume they want to push the Galaxy Buds

Clareman · 09-08-2019 10:41pm

If you had told me 2 years ago if I could survive without an audio jack I would have told you it'd be impossible, now I couldn't tell you the last time I used it, no harm in keeping it. SD slot is still important for me, for example if I'm heading on a long flight I'll fill a couple of stuff to watch but now that the internet is available EVERYWHERE including planes that's not so much of an issue, saying that, 512GB is loads of space at the moment.

Or any kind of wireless buds, I picked up a pair of cheap ones for my brother in law on AliExpress, they are great, I'd go as far as to say they are a lot better than a pair of cheap wired headphones.

I'd agree with you there & on your previous post. Bluetooth in the car & headset while running, no need for wires. Albeit I do prefer the wired connection charging to wireless, for obvious reasons.

Clareman · 09-08-2019 10:56pm

I've the wireless duo charging pad and I don't know how I ever lasted without it, so handy just popping the phone down on it, I'm seriously going to look into wireless charging in my next car.

Every Samsung phone I have bought from Three at launch in last 4 years has come factory unlocked.

There are certain single sim models.

You have guaranteed dual sim option from Amazon at 869£, still cheaper than HN if using Revolut etc.

Still a small chance it could be locked.

My S6 Edge+ was branded (3 splash screen when booting) but unlocked.

Note 8 SIM locked to 3, no branding.

Note 9 unlocked, no branding.
