So I got an email from them that there was an update, clicked link and only step 1 complete using my laptop (multiple browsers).
Just now I opened the link on my mobile and low and behold there is a shipping label and instructions in the mobile browser, go figure.
It's a prepaid DHL label and instructions. Now to establish if that label will cover postage from Ireland to Germany.

I just checked this on my phone and had the same thing. However when I click on the shipping label I get a requested resource was not found. Is this the same for you?

zep · 16-06-2020 10:06am

No I've got the shipping label and instructions.

Barr · 16-06-2020 1:29pm

This is like a German lesson in school

I got an email from them with a link and which gives the 7 stages

For me , only 1 is ticked with a green arrow

This is the list (from google tranlate)

Have ye moved on to 2 or do the labels come after 1?

Whats the catch with that crowd? Customs? Warranty? Has anyone got a S20+ from them?

The blue version is €669 and the 5G 12Gb RAM version is €727 (Are the frequencies even right for Ireland? They seem to be)

Finally got an email back from them saying :

"thank you for your mail.

Unfortunately we can not fulfill your wish.

The conditions of participation explicitly state:
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies.

We are also the German online shop of Samsung.

Of course you can contact our complaint management.

Did anyone get further in the end (returning their old phone) ?

I have sent an email to that new address

Yes I ordered the blue. Just awaiting delivery. CEX are giving me €427 for my s10+ so cost €242 to upgrade. My S10+ is from amazon Germany and my S9 was from amazon italy and I have never had any issues with the handsets or warranty.

hi did you get your phone from eglobalcentral - no issues with them? how long did the delivery take and did it come with a 2-pin adapter?

I'm still waiting. Deliverys take 2 and a half to 3 weeks according to another thread. And I don't know about the plug but it doesn't bother me as my previous two phones came with the european plug type. I just push the earth in and they work fine.

Did you sell to CEX in person or online? Curious as to how online would go. Thanks.

In person. I'm still using the s10+ until the s20+ arrives. I've sold cex electronics before and depending on who serves you in the shop you can get more than the advertised price. They buy the black s10+ for €458 according to their site.

3 weeks delivery time oh wow...

It's only showing up as 612now,seems a good price

LasersGoPewPew · 07-07-2020 12:41am

The offer in OP is for the exynos version (G985). The one you want is the snapdragon version (G986). The exynos SOC has worse battery life and performance compared to snapdragon

Suprised this hasn't appeared on hotukdeals.

I got the S10 normal version last year from wowcamera and no issues since. I know wowcamera is not eglobal but was similar in that sense that I wasn't sure what I was dealing with:pac:

How has delivery time been for folks who have gotten from eglobal? I ordered around 20th June, still waiting. The order tracking doesn't seem to provide much insight

So the one in the post should be avoided? If buying should we pay by credit card or by PayPal?

Its currently an extra 110 euro+ or so for the other model, is slightly better battery life/CPU speed worth that? also it has 5G but that isn't particularly widespread yet.

I paid by credit card but not sure what would have been better.

Used "insured" shipping was 12 euro to Ireland.

Lenny · 08-07-2020 12:11pm

Thanks I just don't think I can justify paying 750 for a phone the 630 one might just suit my needs,

are they not using the same battery here 4500 mAh? ..will you really notice the performance difference if your not gaming on it...

Well I only ordered mine on Tuesday. Shipping says 6 - 8 business days as a guideline.

So hopefully will have it within 2 weeks.

I ordered on June 18th. Package left Holland yesterday. So that's 3 weeks today. I knew this when ordering so no problem. Handset is half the price of a European order and that's the catch.

You will receive a genuine GLS tracking number when it arrives into Holland in 2 days time, if my calculations are correct.

I've said previously my last phone came from eglobal - I never had an issue with them .

Suppose the only thing to be mindful is Samsung 2 year warranty won't apply ( as outside Europe )

If anything goes wrong you will be dealing with eglobal (which may be fine )

Maybe someone has here has experience of returning an item etc that can weigh -in , how that worked out for them.

unhappyBB · 10-07-2020 12:10pm

I went for the Exynos S20+ G985 8GB/128GB Dual Sim + free wireless charger + shipping insurance. Total cost €675 (no discount codes)
I would have preferred the Snapdragon but at the time I couldnt figure out if all network bands would work over here.

Ordered: 26 June
Shipped: 29 June
Picked up by GLS: 2 July
Left Netherlands: 3 July
Arrive Ireland: 8 July
Delivered: 9 July
(so ~2 weeks in total)

It looks like its a Singapore model and came with a standard UK style plug BUT the security seal was broken and the box itself doesnt appear the newest. The phone itself does look brand new though, not a scratch, and all plastic protectors still attached.
So far so good but coming up from a s9+ I'm not seeing much of an improvment tbh.

Barr · 10-07-2020 12:18pm

Good price /delivery time.

I could only guess that maybe customs opened the box at some point .

how did you manage to get a 3pin plug? ..did you ask when buying it?

so if the security seal was broken..i guess its best to do a factory reset on the phone in case some dodgy software was installed on it..

unhappyBB · 10-07-2020 4:22pm

I didn't make any requests but Singapore use the same plug type as us. I went through the usual initial setup when I first powered it up and it automatically downloaded what looked like some kind of Singapore see something, report it app but I just uninstalled it.
So far everything works, delivery reports, H+, LTE+, and I set up Google pay but haven't used it yet

Probably best to reflash the ROM from official Samsung Website ?

Pacifico · 10-07-2020 10:16pm

Went for the regular S20 from eglobal...590 including insured shipping. First order with them! Hope it arrives this month anyway...good price even compared to sellers on Adverts.

Is flashing the stock rom a big deal? I assume Samsung Ireland won't entertain any warranty claims if required?!

doctorg · 11-07-2020 1:23pm

As these phones are dual sim, would they be locked to some network ?

Perhaps they are breaking the seal so that they can unlock the phones ?

coldfire1x · 11-07-2020 2:55pm

These are unlocked phone. Sometime they open the package to flash the phone with global rom.

dan786 · 12-07-2020 12:13am

The Asian models mostly have a 3 pin plug in them. The security seals are broken as Samsung started region locking their phones. You need to make a call for 5 minutes in that region before it can be used in another. So the boxes are opened for this reason.

Dont worry they dont do anything else. They have a business to run and reputation does matter. I have bought few phones from them, no issues.

Superfint · 12-07-2020 5:52pm

Really torn between getting my wife an S20+ or an S10+ as a replacement for her S8 which is now got pretty slow and always short of storage. Camera and Battery osy important for her really.

Any Advice from new S20+ owners welcomed. I am a little concerned with some feedback on the camera and battery life of the S20+ that is making me thing perhaps the S10+ would be better . Both similarly priced ,especially if i Got the 512G version of the S10+

yabadabado · 12-07-2020 8:14pm

Slightly off topic but what's the best price on S20?

Think ill need to change phone soon and not sure I like the size of S20+
