UK shipping

I think we can all agree that the original "Play Store orders and shipping thread!" thread has gotten pretty out of hand.
I was lucky enough to have ordered the nexus 4 in the morning. And like most of you my play store thing says "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012"
Has anyone actually received any tracking information?
Also I see that the payment went to somewhere in Ireland. According to a Google rep, all devices will be shipped from America but some people are thinking that it would come from Ireland. Can someone with some tracking info clear that up?
I see that some people have bought the nexus 4 early from the various places already from the UK, but let's keep this for play store purchases.
Let's see who's the first forum member to receive the device in the UK as well!
Thanks

At least if it did ship to the UK from the US it would justify the ludicrous shipping price for 2 day delivery.

When I ordered my Nexus 7 from the Play store that was also £9.99 and said two day shipping. In reality though, they were all sent next day.
I'm pretty sure that is what will happen with the N4's. At least, that's what I am hoping.

I thought this would be the case as if you go here http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411789#GB it says that Google use TNT, who only have next day delivery options.
Yet if you go through the help section on a different page it says they use DHL who do have 2 day shipping http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&hlrm=en&answer=2715831
Complete miscommunication from Google for all of this, makes it really confusing for the customer.

It is quite ridiculous for a domestic shipment.

No shipping for me yet. And I really can't imagine them sending all devices from US, seems kinda silly. I think the money has to go each area's 'HQ' (in our case, Dublin) but I think it will be shipped from some random warehouse in the UK.

Don't really think this needed a new thread. Google doesn't ship to the UK from the US. They pay a distribution company manage the processing/sending out of orders.

Hmm that is confusing. On my order it says expected delivery 15th November, so hopefully it will arrive then or before.

Since all the nexus7 devices are shipped and returned to the UK there would be no reason for it to ship from the US. My nexus7 came from Ireland so my bet is it will be the same for the n4.

well if it looks like they're shipping from Ireland doesn't that mean that they should've atleast done some orders today by now? Did any of you get shipping details?

Oh ok, I wonder how TNT/whoever are going to handle shipping. I wont be in tomorrow, wonder if they will leave it outside my door for it to be stolen, give it to my neighbour or bring it to the DEPO which is a good 30min drive from me, and I dont drive ):

So are any of you expecting it tomorrow?

Why would it arrive tomorrow?
Have people had shipped notices yet?

Google operate their business out of Ireland for tax reasons, I think its exceptionally unlikely that they would also operate their stock and shipping from there.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20288077 - Bottom of this article briefly mentions the reason behind the "Ireland" location.

Best buy online has refurbished gear for 129.99

Title says it all. Geek squad refurbished for 129.99 free shipping
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Best deal I have seen in the US for the Gear. I got mine for $99 in Canada, but I also have to pay GSTs and shipping to the US.

@nviz22, keep in mind the one you got is brand new, while this one is refurbished. Though since its BB Geek Squad, these refurb'd units are most likely just customer returns.

All should know too that many times "refurbished" only means it was returned to the store without anything wrong with it. They cannot then sell it as "new", so they have to call the item refurbished. In the case of the Gear, where we heard it had a high return rate late last year, I would take advantage of an offer like this if you see it come up again.

Yeah, that's fine, but I am just saying that's been the best deal for the Gear in the US so far from what I have seen. It's a good value purchase at $130 anyways. For $300, the original price, not worth it. I chose the Gear 1 for the functionality and price. The Gear 2 only has a heart rate sensor and IR Blaster, which cannot vouch for a $200 price difference.

Pricing update FYI
Just thought I would post for those that are interested.
Amazon has the original Gear for 120.33 they are listed as used but they are being shown as Amazon Warehouse inventory which very often are customer returns. Free two day shipping if you are a prime member as well. Also eligible for standard return and refund policies from Amazon. Also this is for Jet Black.

Just picked one up today from Best Buy's eBay site. $89 - $20 eBay loyalty coupon that splashed on the screen.
Could not pass up for $69.
Probably will sell it the instant the Moto watch comes out, but for now, it's a cheap toy!

Question to the guys who already pre-ordered at tmobile

1) Are you going to be able to pick up at the store with the pre-order because when i went to the store they said they will only ship it to you
2) If they are shipping to you, did they charge you a shipping fee?
3) When you traded in your phone did they say it'll be deferred trade in, meaning you are responsible for trading it in via mail? or did they do the trade in immediately for you and you traded it in on the spot?
I ask these questions because it sounds like to me that when you pre-order in store, they basically is just ordering it for you online for you and print you out the same documents that you can just print out yourself if you ordered it online yourself.

The note 4 will come to my house. I ship back my note 3 in the box they provide. Just like a warranty phone. They didn't charge me shipping.

They ship it to you. I imagine if they had to ship it to the store they'd have inventory control issues.
2) If they are shipping to you, did they charge you a shipping fee?
Click to expand...

Yes, they charged me 6.99 for shipping.
Also note even if you finance it (EIP) you still pay the tax up front.
So I had 45.41 in tax and 6.99 in shipping for total upfront of 52.40.

I'm new to tmobile but had two lines. One for an iphone 6 so I could start service right away. For mine they list the device recovery program details (my trade in phone information) on my preorder receipt. And yes I'll have to mail it in after I get my new phone.

As I was signing up for new service, I decided to do it in store.
I'm not sure about the trade-in with the preorder at the same time.
But I assume you can do that online.
My receipt for this looks like a printed website. Though it is from handsetorder.internal.t-mobile.com so I assume it isn't a customer facing site.

I'm a new customer and ordered online on 9/24. All I got was the signed EIP email and another one saying they received my order, with only my name, order number, date and time of order, and a number that looks like the amount due, but it doesn't even have dollar sign.
The temporary charge has now disappeared from my credit card, so I hope everything is still okay and on track.

you should see a $1 tmobile hold after it goes away (maybe a day or two later) and they will charge it a couple days before the 17th (when they ship it too you). Im in california and they said they are shipping it on the 14-15th so i will receive it on the 17th.

can somebody take a picture of their receipt of tradein/phone (blacked out info of course)?

Do T-mobile ship by UPS or Fedex?
If UPS, can you tell it to leave it at the distribution center and you can pick it up. It doesnt need to make one try at your home first.

UPS, and if you have myUPS, then I think you can.

Exactly, have to be a myups member. I love that feature cause the center is right down the street from me but my regular driver doesn't stop here till the end of his route... so by having them hold it, I can pick up my packages at 9am instead.

Can I still pre-order and take advantage off the $200 off.What I'm going to do is upgrade my phone line that I have now and pay T-Mobile $200 down and $23 a month for 24 months.If yes could you please explain how the process works. Thanks In advance!!!

Update: they called. They have it now

Called my store. Told their are still expecting their shipment from AT&T. Store is also a Samsung Experience store.

Picked mine up yesterday took 1 hour 40 minutes from the time I put my name on stupid waiting list to walk out. Will only return to Best Buy to spend my rewards then will go to all lengths to avoid giving them business ever again.

Did not preorder, walked in and asked for 32gb ATT, only had white, bought full price and working on crickett flawlessly.

That was not a no sales tax promo, that was just the 50 dollars you paid to preorder it going towards your sales tax.

Total nonsense. My sales tax rate is 8.5%. 784.99 x 8.5% would be $66.72. My total bill was ZERO.
Therefore with $50 preorder deposit I would still owe $16.72.
Even the CSR admitted they had a non advertised promo of no sales tax.

LG V40 Pre Order Thread!

Howdy All,
It's time to get the hype train rolling! I thought that I would make a pre-order threat in order to help others track our pre-orders and shipping dates.
The official LG V40 release date is Thursday, October 18. As I understand it TMO will be offering the pre-order on this Friday 10/12/2018.
So first up in the US: The LG V40 Thinq is now available for pre-order from B & H Photo. :highfive: UPDATE - The price has dropped to $749 on B&H website.
Link: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1436639-REG/lg_lmv405qa7_ausabk_v40_thinq_64gb_smartphone.html
Details: LG V40 ThinQ 64GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Aurora Black) MFR # LMV405QA7.AUSABK
I was able to place a pre-order for this phone today. I'm taking this route over pre-ordering from T Mobile because I want root ASAP and missed having root when I received the TMO LG V30. That along with the fact that I will get a square trade warranty for the phone makes it a better option. The wallet hurts for a bit but in the long run I'll be happier and less likely to give my phone to my daughter .
I'll be watching as TMO and others officially allow for pre-orders and I'll post the details here for an easy one-stop-shop for pre-orders.
*UPDATE 10/12/2018 - TMO website has LG V40 listed as IN STOCK! Details here: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/lg-v40-thinq
Also, the preorder website is now up. Great preorder goodies! https://lg-promotions.com/us/en/pages/lgv40preorder/home

Just a heads-up that T Mobile website has the LG V40 and is showing IN STOCK as of 2pm EST. I went for unlocked but TMO folks will bet the phone first!

I'm debating getting one due to that. Sine it's not being sold in Canada this makes it much more appealing because in order to import it i would be required to pay duty on it.
