good to know

My main reason for ordering with OP was trade in.

I got a OP7P 5G and if I cannot sell for more then trade in on eBay then I will want to use the trade in option.

Amazon dont even have OP7 in the trade in offer
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
I think Mazuma mobile will give like £270 for a OP7P 5G if that's any help.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
seen a few sold on ebay last few weeks for £310 - £400 so will take my chance there first

EDIT:

I swapped to Amazon now.

Easier for returns so at this price I dont want to take chances!

Hopefully I can sell for good price on ebay my 7Pro 5g
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I've cancelled direct with Oneplus. Going through Amazon now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
I wonder if Amazon will use Amazon logistics or another courier.

Anyone bought a high value phone before from them and did they use own delivery or a courier?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I havent no but it will most likely be an actual amazon van I reckon.

Best not be on your daily exercise until it comes dont want that left on your doopstep?*♂️
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
i will be working from home so no time for exercise haha
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Once the order from Amazon is out for delivery, they usually give you an estimated delivery slot (the actual slot may vary in accuracy between 2-4 hours but it gives you an idea at least). For some orders, they've narrowed the window as the delivery driver is doing his deliveries (but doesn't always happen). For some (maybe all, not entirely) you are also able to track the driver where he is on the map.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Are the OP pre order phones despatched from China? I think my 7Pro was but can't remember. If so would it really only take a day to get to the UK. Think my 7Pro took 2?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Pretty sure they're sending from a UK warehouse. Won't be from China though (obviously that's where it was manufactured and shipped from originally, but not for a one-day delivery).

I didn't order my OP7Pro from OP (I got it about a month after launch in-store in John Lewis), so can't make any comparisons there.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] toxicredcat:
I pre-ordered the green variant day after launch and I've just had an email saying my 'Forever Winner' parcel will be delivered by DPD tomorrow (21st).

I'm assuming this is the phone as I've not ordered anything else that could fall under that name, anyone else got the same DPD email?

Oneplus account still shows the order status as: Order Paid, Estimated dispatch:Apr 21, 2020, Estimated delivery:Apr 23, 2020 :confused:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Just had a Forever Winner Dpd text too. What on earth is "forever winner". Makes it sound like a dodgy spam text.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] toxicredcat:
According to the OnePlus forums:

'Forever Winner is a UK subsidiary of Winit, a Chinese logistics and shipping company. OnePlus will be using them as a local shipping partner (the packs are shipping from UK not the normal European shipping warehouse).'

Looks like the phones are coming early :D

Glad I went with the free delivery option now.

UAG case is arriving tomorrow as well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I'm pretty sure I received my OP7pro from abroad last year. Makes sense if they've changed it to UK shipping now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MillyMoo106:
I ordered mine on Friday (free delivery option) and got the DPD saying my 'Forever Winner' parcel will deliver tomorrow! I went into more details and it had the reference order from OnePlus so definitely that :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I reordered through Amazon mine is arriving tomorrow aswell
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
yes its definitely forever winner, had my pop up box delivered same
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Hey where did you order the UAG plasma from? Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] toxicredcat:
Ordered it on the 16th direct from UAG for £28.37 delivered. Just checked the FedEx tracking and its actually due out for delivery today! Been using them for years and never been disappointed.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Fair enough sounds expensive though. What are you doing about the screen
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] toxicredcat:
I thought that was cheap for a UAG case! I've paid nearly £50 for them in the past from UK suppliers :eek:

I'm hoping the screen protector in the box will suffice for the time being. I'm not familiar with under-screen fingerprint sensors so not sure how screen protectors affect their performance. I will order a tempered lens protector for the camera module when I find a decent one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Sorry I meant in relation to cases I buy lol. I usually get Spigen. Got used to cases with a pop out stand on the back currently.

I will be getting a tempered glass with the screen glue
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
UAG is good but too bulky for me
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pro4ever:
Been contemplating have a 7 pro worth upgrade to 8 pro ???
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
anyone had a dispatch from amazon?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Not yet, mine is due to arrive tomorrow and it's from Amazon themselves so usually dispatch is same day as delivery (for me, at least).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Nope
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
intresting

never had that i always get dispatch day before I get it for Prime
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Mine's due tomorrow.

With Amazon Prime, especially over the last couple of weeks, I get the dispatch notification around 1-3am and then it arrives later that day.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Yep, similar to my experiences - and I've been ordering a lot from Amazon in the last few weeks [emoji16]
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yeah prime been very mixed in terms of carrier.

Last week I bought some coffee syrup for £10 and amazon sent it via DPD! I got dispatch email in afternoon though.

So as none of us got dispatch yet must mean they will use Amazon Logistics for delivery which means email can come anytime in evening.

My order still dont say preparing for dispatch though.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
Pre ordered on 14th just after an hour it was announced. Expected shipping date was today arrival by Wednesday still no change. Picked standard free shipping. Anyone else in same boat or is it just me unlucky
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I had exactly the same when I ordered through Oneplus. But I cancelled and went through amaxon
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
I've been checking my order on and off today and the line between "Ordered" and "Dispatch" has been creeping towards dispatch (like it normally does) - not too far off now :D

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
I want to do the same but I will lose the discount 5% my case got despatched however
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
how did you get discount?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I just think Amazon will have better aftercare
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
Student discount
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] psnijjar:
Did anyone win any wireless charger or it was just a scam?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Scam. [emoji3]
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
im doubting amazon shipping these today and all phones sold by them have "extended delivery time" notice.

im guessing as this phone is not out yet it defaults to next day delivery estimate.

no other phones have next day delivery.

maybe should have stuck to OP lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
I've placed about ~5 orders with Amazon over the past 2 weeks. They were all dispatched from Amazon after midnight and arrived at my local sorting facility 8am-10am and delivered that same day in the afternoon.

On my most recent order I received my "Your Amazon order has beed dispatched" email at 4:17am on Sunday 19th (yesterday) and it was delivered to my door at 3:35pm (on Sunday 19th).

Don't sweat it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
dont worry if Amazon say a delivery day they almost always honour it. Alot of times, as peeps have said here, amazon will update tracking to 'dispatched' in the early hours of the same day (like 12-3am etc) and the item comes that day.

That said, i don't mind if my phone comes a few days later anyway.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yeah lol

its only a phone but need something to look forward to in current situation.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
amazon would most probably have had their stock of these delivered weeks ago anyway. OP were making a big fuss of partnering with Amazon in different markets.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
People who ordered through Amazon have you had the money taken from your account yet
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Amazon take payment when they send the "your amazon order has been dispatched" email.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Thought so it's just the panic setting in lol. Just got my money back from the original Oneplus order
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
what is making me think its not getting dispatched today is if you go to cancel order it normally says we are preparing for dispatch so cant be guaranteed a few hours before they send it.

however no such message appears on the order which makes me think its not even getting ready to be dispatched.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I dunno. What's also worrying me is the display problems. Lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Bad news guy's Amazon now saying they ran out apparently but all op 8 series showing in stock date of may 2nd.

Very annoyed we didn't get email to tell us this last week. I'm probably cancel and get it from OP if they have it sooner as now op site says sale starts 9 hours.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
i have had it pre authorised today. also the amazon listing now says on back order for may 2nd, but mine still is showing as delivery by 8pm today. hopefully i have been assigned one from the original stock (assuming there was...)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I hope they havent f***ed up otherwise I'll be possed right off

Yeah not arriving

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

They messed up stock
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
they may had initial stock to send. lets wait and see how day goes. no difference with this and OP website when we order when in stock and it then changes the listing to 'notify me' - yr order may have been allocated stock etc.

id rather stick to this phone brought from a reliable company like amazon whatever the delay. i can wait ...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
There saying 2nd May. Good luck for you tomorrow I wouldnt hold your breath
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
i have time to wait, we aren't precisely going anywhere with this lock down :) if it comes it comes.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Even if the order is delayed I'm sticking with Amazon because of all the problems I've been hearing with the 8 Pro. There's no chance I'm going direct through OnePlus.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I know but its weird how none of us who ordered through Amazon have a dispatch. Unless they messed up and dont actually have stock of it at all
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
It's possible they opened orders on the 14th and the stock was supposed to arrive between the 14th and 21st, but due to the coronavirus situation the stock still hasn't arrived to them.

I've had that happen in the past, but Amazon had contacted me prior to let me know the shipment will be delayed.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
its possible but the phone can still ship tonight, i usually get an update on the order screen saying there's a delay ... gonna sleep on it and see what the order status is after 9am...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
The e did mess up. If they had no stock arrive then they should have never listed it for pre order and said delivery for Tuesday. They false advertising! It also now says delayed delivery so if you place order now you won't get it until 9th may. I'm not waiting that long.

Only people in US have had issues returning phones to OP.

Europe seem fine with RMA.

I told ya so haha I was right about it not dispatching. Easiest way to check is click cancel order if they going to dispatch in few hours they will state it on that screen, What annoys me is the false advertising. They knew they had no stock when I placed order on Saturday so why advertise delivery on Tuesday! Amazon CS can be good but also can be bad.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I'm beyond pissed off. What are you going to do
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
in 30 mins OP starts orders again so will see what date they have.

If its before May I will order from them.

The tint issue looks like it can be fixed with Software like Samsung S20 Ultra panel issues.

So hopefully wont have to RMA.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] combat goofwing:
Yep me on chat with Amazon ,they have no stock ... fuming why do this if they have no stock .At least it gives time for my dbrand skins and fit bag to arrive
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Haha the glacial green osnt even in stock on oneplus
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
Gracial green still OOS on OP as of 10am
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yes just saw this :(

I hate amazon! I could have had mine today if they were honest
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
Serves me right for cancelling my OP order and re-ordering through Amazon... :/
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Same

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Order has jumped to 9th may now only 3 weeks away
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Maybe shouldnt post this given the Amazon guys problems but mine is an hour away with DPD, ordered through OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
3 weeks is a long time

i put my OP7P on ebay now have to remove it or I will be without a phone.

Only good thing is by then we should have more cases to choose from and maybe even TWRP
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Is TWRP possible on the OP8? I thought it wasn't possible on the 7T? Or has someone just not made it for the 7T?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
guess no one made it

not sure why it would not be possible only samsung phones have issues with twrp

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
Gutted, i dont mind waiting a few days , but 2 1/2 week delay (atleast) at the last minute is very disappointing . Could have ordered through John Lewis but naturally they are OOS now too. Cant find any other retailers

Absolute joke situation.

On a side not just managed to order a wireless charger from oneplus
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
if OP states 24th for 128gb you will get it as they did not lie about getting orders delivered today

Guys - i really think that green colour is too girly - i want 256gb version in black - does anyone know if there are plans to release it in black?

I currently have the Razer Phone 2 and this phone is lightning fast so not in a crazy rush to upgrade - but just love new tech too much!

if only the green was a bit darker like Razer Green I would snap it up in a flash....this green they have released is too lame...

I am also UK based
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
OnePlus do not have the 12/256 in stock though.

I really do not like the Green colour as it's shown on the Oneplus website, but watch videos of people actually handling the phone. The colour is way nicer in person.

A 3 week delay on Amazon at the last minute isn't a stock mistake, something happened. Amazon would have had stock available but suddenly that stock is now not available. My theory is that the stock they had was recalled and now they're waiting for a new batch from OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Does the colour look darker in real life? On the site it looks too light - way too girly....I may risk it - but would be really upsate to spend so much money on a device and its not the colour i like....especially if a month later they actually bring the 256gb version out in black - imagine that

Does anyone know about their plans regarding releasing a 256gb black one? I still dont understand why they didnt? i am sure loads of people are contacting them about this
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Hey guys - look on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/g5d686/oneplus_8_pro_supposed_to_be_delivered/

People who ordered direct from OnePlus got their DPD notification yesterday, but it turns out DPD still hasn't received the parcel from OnePlus. It looks like it wasn't just Amazon affected but OP direct as well.

It's not darker, but it's not as green. Everyone says it flips between a mid-green and mid-blue. It's much more of a teal/turqoiuse colour that flips between green and blue depending on how the light hits it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Guaranteed in a certain amount of months a different colour will become available
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Wow - that looks completely different to the pictures on their site....

Ok - so i take it you dont know if they have plans to release it in black or ultramarine blue or any other colour in 256gb later this year?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Yeah the images on their site are just 3d renders and they couldn't accurately show the colour. But in person it's much nicer IMO.

I have no idea about future colours. OnePlus customer service told someone else there isn't any plans to bring colour/spec combos from other regions (but they would say that).

Look at OnePlus' history, have they ever added more colours after release? (I don't know, I've never been with OnePlus before).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Oh man this is a dilema!!!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
i assume you arent going 256gb in that case?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
nope some people who ordered on OP direct is on time.

at least 1 guy is getting his from OP today as he got his delivery window.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeyaj:
That's my post lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
I dont get why my Amazon order is delayed to May 9th, yet if you go to order now it says May 2nd!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
It says "in stock" on 2nd May, but if you try to complete a new order it still says delivery 9th May.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
thanks a lot man

I think i may go for it....its gonna go in a case anyway so that should cover up the colour lol

If i order from OnePlus today are you saying the eta on delivery will be wrong because they cant get the phones to DPD?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Phone is beautiful! Green looks great. Screen to my eyes is much better than 7Pro.

Got it from OP delivered today.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
May 9th is delivery date due to covid.

Normally it would be 3rd May delivery as Prime is next day.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Looks like its out of stock now anyway - decision made for me not to buy...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeyaj:
Oneplus have not sent many to the delivery companies it seems

Those who were told today will get them after those who ordered later it seems lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Bah, needless to say this happened with my Amazon order too - I cancelled it in protest :D First time something like this has happened with Amazon for me, mind. Oh well, **** happens. I (re-)ordered direct from OnePlus but had to go for the 8/128 version as 12/256 is out of stock (as mentioned above post(s)). Says it'll arrive on Thursday.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
I prefer the colour and need the extra storage so cant do that.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Many people who ordered direct from OnePlus were told their devices would be delivered today, but OnePlus hasn't even handed the parcel to the courier.
