OnePlus 5 selling poorly? - OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

I just ordered the 6gb 64gb ram version from Oneplus and it came in yesterday. The manufacture date is 6/10 which is before the phone even launched! On past OnePlus devices there would only be around a 2 week turnaround time from manufacturing to arriving at my house. This suggests they aren't really selling many of these phones.

I just got mine this Friday, the Date says 6/22.

Which country? I'm in the US and mine shipped from California. Even 6/22 indicates they are selling poorly and just sitting in a warehouse. I've bought alot of OnePlus devices and the turnaround time from factory to my door has always been 2-3 weeks or less. Over 2 months indicates poor sales.

Because your phone is refurbished device and listed as new. Just saying

What proof do you have of this? It was brand new and sealed.

I got mine on August 1st, same date, 6/10.

I ordered one also on launch day and it was also 6/10. Returned that due to jelly, and bought another one thinking it might be less on a newer device produced in August, but got this one again made before launch lol. OnePlus not even selling through their original stock is a bad look for them. Poor sales also means they will abandon it early like the OnePlus 2 and x.

Yup, also in the US and it shipped from California.

Maybe they just have a big stock for US release.

Doubtful. They have always said logistically it doesn't make sense to do that. They manufacture in smaller batches and then increase production or decrease based on demand.

Probably just not rotating the stock. Just piled new stock on top of old stock and they are just now getting to the stuff underneath the new stock.

Bought mine while I was in China, ordered 8/1, received 8/2. Manufactured on 7/26. 8/128 version slate gray version.
I think I read somewhere the 8/128 exceeded demand.

Interesting maybe just no demand for the 6gb version . Can anyone else chime in with their 8gb order dates? I couldn't justify the cost difference.

I don't see how this phone can have disappointing sales numbers. Every review online including YouTube gushes about how awesome this phone is. This is my 1st phone from OnePlus and I have to agree.

No reason to buy cheaper one...

This is likely the reason, the price difference is negligible for the increase that you get. It's more sense to go 8/128

I believe the 8/128GB variant sold a lot better.
By the way, where can I see the manufacturing date?
Edit: Found it. July 14th and ordered it around the 10th of August.
I believe the reason for this gap is the jelly effect.
Many people returned their phones and OnePlus simply re-sealed the boxes and sold them again to somebody else.

I just RMA'd my 6GB/64GB OP5, lets see the date on the new one.

Ordered my 128 gb version on late July in Canada and I have 07/14

[Q] Whats wrong with Clove and Handtec?

I would like to buy the phone on one of these websites but they are out of stock for almost 1 month. They also keep pushing the "IN STOCK" date and let people to buy the phones even when they are still out of stock...
Are they waiting for delivery from China and the phones are grey import, or why is this happening? Thanks.
It could be that Sony recalled a batch. In the end we can only speculate. It's weird that both companies don't have any stock left.
Sent from my C6603
Sony is selling in US market now and may be having difficulty keeping up with demand. Ship dates they post are based on stock estimates coming from Sony and when Sony pushes their stock dates to the resellers then Clove / Handtec update those same dates on their websites.
handtec
I've just got mine from Handtec , they dont have any in stock , but have been emailing me every day with an update , they said this week they will have stock . lets see !
It seems that the compact device has bigger demand than Sony was expecting.

Well they were the first to cover the demand for a flagship spec phone in a "compact 4.6" factor.. Hate those watered down mini alternatives.

I was hoping this is the case too.
Sony has seen the problem with fragile glass and has quietly gone and fixed the issue behind the scenes and is now producing better units... fingers crossed this is the reason anyway.
I've asked yesterday in Handtec chat when the phone will be in stock, the answer was "end of this week". Will wait
Its Wednesday.. both clove and handtec have said it will be in Thursday !... Handtec did say to be did i want my money back ? or am I happy to wait ...
On Handtec.co.uk is stated:
Availability: Due in Soon - Order Now (Expected date 27 Nov, 2014)
It's been sold out since mid October...
On Clove.co.uk is stated:
SOLD OUT. Further stock delayed until 14th November (sold out since mid October and stated: Further stock delayed until end of October, the until 11th November, until 13th November, now until 14th November)
What the heck is going on? :crying:
Contacted Handtec today regarding my order - initially told at the start of the week to expect delivery end of week. Told yesterday expected stock on friday/monday. Told today Sony have pushed back delivery of stock for 2 weeks!
Ok, I think it's time to buy the phone somewhere else..

Is this true? Source?
I got mine a few weeks ago and I'm panicking because Case-Mate is still out of stock and I'm scared of cracking the glass. Should have I waited for the fix?
Last week there was a note on clove.co.uk, that Sony z3c will be in stock on November 14th, and i saw it in stock during the day, but around 4pm the black model becomes out of stock till 24th...
Got mine from handtec on Monday , they said they had some "emergency " stock in , they have been over whelmed by the demand , so its first come first serve basis.
But there still a note on Handtec that will be in stock on Nov 27th. How did u know that they have anything?

Buy it from mobileohonesdirect.co.uk
Despite another user on this forum having a negative experience with them, I received my handset within 2 days, and despite my gripes with the somewhat inconsistent camera quality, I even rang them up to initiate a refund and the woman I spoke to was very helpful.
Just need to decide whether I actually want to send it, and then fork out so much more money for an iPhone 6...
I don't think they provide international shipment. Will wait for stock at clove or handtec
For those interested: available on www.clove.co.uk (black and red). On www.handtec.co.uk expected tomorrow

Nexus 6 Prices???

Why is the prices rising for this phone on Amazon?
Most likely because their stock is running low and demand is increasing

Are you sure? Motorola doesn't sell anything directly on Amazon.
For example the white 32gb model is being sold at 329.99, and says this "Ships from and sold by Talk-Time".
I bought the exact same model about a year ago for 249.99 and said "Ships from and sold by Amazon".
You won't find any ships from and sold by Motorola, Amazon or any other big retailer anymore.

As I've said in other posts... the Nexus 6 is still a quite relative phone to use. Save for battery life, there is little to distinguish the performance between this phone and brand new phones in day to day usage. I still use my White 64gb along with my Pixel XL.

Yea, I was only wondering why the price have gone because I just bought another blue 64gb for $215 in mint condition off swappa because I missed this phone after giving mines away to my sister

Price on Amazon is always high, swappa is much better

Price on Amazon wasn't always high, especially when they were blowing them out last Christmas. New in box for between $199 and $299 (depending on both storage and when bought in the holiday season) is an excellent deal.

Pre-ordered T-mobile 512gb.Ocean blue Note9,found out delayed till late September.

So I pre-ordered T-Mobile 512gb.Note9 then told right before release that my phone wouldn't be shipped to me until September 20th,so I cancelled my pre-order and got it on Amazon the day after release,my question isshould I still be able to be qualified to get the pre-order goodies namely the AKG noise cancellation wireless headphones or the Fortnite bundle.What does everyone think?I think they should compensate me but that's just me.

I understand but why pre-order a phone and have to wait a month after release to get it,you would think a company like Samsung would make enough phones to cover demand.
I went to pre order around the 19th and noticed everywhere had an unknown release date or late September for the 512 model, EXCEPT good ole Amazon. Plus on top of the akg headphones they also gave the dual wireless charger and Dex pad free. Shipped day before release even.

Doesn't matter they aren't going to give you a bonus on a pre order you canceled there was no shipping guarantee and the 512 was in high demand

Yep. Seems like they weren't expecting such demand for the 512 version.

Same boat here. September 19, they say. I'm not canceling though because of the promo AND I have two Note8s on that order at 399 each. That sale is over so I can't cancel now. Stupid Samsung.

Anyone ordered from Flipkart and what's your delivery date?

Anyone ordered from Flipkart and what's your delivery date?
I placed the pre-order through flipkart and my estimated delivery date is on 10th Oct. Seems like the sale starts only on 8th Oct.
Same here. I just can't wait to have this beast in my hands. Ah, the long wait is killing me..
When will the 512 gb model ill able to buy? Does anyone knows? No information regarding the 512 gb version on anywhere.
Mine is 10th Oct as well.
I don't know how but luckily I got the phone in first sale. I checked Flipkart at 12.01AM and the phone was showing out of stock.
I thought it's Flipkart's bug. Then couple of minutes later, it showed PreOrder button. I clicked and before I could reach payment, it was out of stock.
At this moment I thought I'll have to wait for next sale. But I opened my laptop for last chance and kept refreshing the page. I saw the phone a couple of times in stock again(preorder), but same thing happened(before finishing payment, it was out of stock).
I told myself that ill just check tomorrow morning because I didn't expect this phone to go out of stock that easily, but I underestimated the number of people buying this phone (or overestimated the stock Asus has )
Still I thought ill give this a last chance and kept refreshing, and around 12.24AM, I saw it again in stock, and completed my payment.
I also had a riding helmet of 2k in my cart which I wanted to buy. So I got total of 4k discount on cart value of 40k using ICICI card. So overall I got the phone for around 34.2k which is a great deal I think.
Asus has not actually announced next sale date. They just have said that the phone will be released(shipped) on 8th Oct. Gadgets360 confirmed this from Asus(check their article), so not sure when is the next sale going to be and same is the case with 12GB variant.

I thought the same but I saw another offer which said if your cart total is 40k then you get discount of another 2k (separate than the 10% maxed at 2k). So total of 4k.
Phone was anyways of 38k, so I just added another item that I wanted to buy anyways. Got total cart of 40k and total discount of 4k on that.

I preordered the phone in Flipkart yesterday. The site shows tentatively shipped by 12th. The mail i received mentions will be shipped by 12 oct. I didn't realise the additional 2k discount when cart value is 40k and missed the opportunity

Unlikely. I checked with a few reputed stores in Mumbai, no 1 has it or plans on having it. I asked croma on launch day, they too said no.
Both of them show sold out on FK right now. Any idea if these are going to come back for sale anytime soon?

No specific time. I guess those restocking units are the ones cancelled by buyers who bought on first sale and changed mind later(128 gigs isn't enough for all).

Last time I owned a pixel, it was a pixel 2 and the service was pretty good. The service center would provide a pickup and drop service within Mumbai. So let's hope it remains the same.
