I ordered from Amazon as soon as it was available on the 14th due for delivery yesterday. Obviously that didn't happen, I was just emailed with an updated delivery date of June 3rd!! That's wrong, surely!?

Just checked my order it's now 2nd of May, it seems their system is slightly confused
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
I think you've misunderstood. So let me be a bit clearer: I don't care, it's only £900. It really makes no difference to me what-so-ever if it's paid up front or over 12/24 months.

There is no benefit to me by splitting out the payments over 1 or 2 years. Financing plans are so you can spread the cost out of an item into more manageable chunks (and typically to afford something you couldn't otherwise afford). You say it makes no sense to pay £900 up front if you can pay the same amount split over 2 years, but it makes absolutely no sense for me to split out the payment. What do I gain by splitting it out? I don't need to pay for it in smaller chunks.

If you can't afford it - financing lets you buy stuff that you couldn't normally pay for upfront.

If you can afford it - financing benefits you... how?

If you want to finance stuff then go wild, but don't argue it makes no-sense not to finance because that's non-sense ;)

Amazon said my original pre-order is fine, don't need to create a new order.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
the fact you are asking these questions shows you have no clue.

You think millionaires don't still take out loans to buy things they can easily afford to pay for in cash? its not because they cant afford it, its so they have more money at any given moment to buy other things - it makes financial sense whichever way you look at it to spread payments if the interest rate is zero - it makes no sense in any walk of life to pay for the whole thing now regardless of how rich or poor you are. - assuming the interest rate is 0%

First rule of economics (personal economy or business - money now is more valuable than money later)

Anyway - we are clearly not going to agree (unless you do a bit of reading) so lets knock this argument on the head

Mines just arrived and it has got a very thin screen protector pre-applied that'll suffice for now! Just charging it to 100% before turning on to see if I have the dreaded screen problems and WiFi connectivity issues :S

Amazon now says order now for delivery Friday !!!! I take it they got stock
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
256gb or 128?

when did you order?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
pre-applied screen protector..??? Why would anyone do this? What if you dont want a screen protector? I have never used screen protectors and never want to
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
128GB is now Friday for delivery

256 is still 29th April
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex---1:
If you're a millionaire and buying a £100k car then yes, you may finance it rather than buy it outright for the reasons you state, however, if you're a millionaire, dropping a grand on a phone is a drop in the ocean.

In a time when we're in a global pandemic which'll no doubt follow with one of the biggest recessions, should you even be financing something as daft as a new phone if you can't afford it outright?

People need to be more patient in this thread, OnePlus have probably shipped all the phones from their warehouse, they've done their bit, it's now with the delivery companies. A friend of mine has sent out over 500 business packages since Easter weekend and only a few have arrived.

Hah, millionaires are not going through the effort to apply for a credit financing plan for a £900 phone.

I am clearly not discrediting loans as a whole am I? That is not what I said.

I'm asking you to justify your argument and you can't. All you're saying is "it makes sense" and so I can have "more money to buy other things". Really? That's your argument? So yes, we're certainly not going to agree and I would recommend not to quit your day job to become a financial adviser.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
You can't say "it makes sense" and "so you have money to buy other things" and "we're not going to agree unless you do some reading" those aren't arguments - the first two points are irrelevant to me: 1. No it doesn't make sense to me to finance £900. 2. Spending £900 on a phone doesn't mean I can't still buy other things.

If we were talking about a house, or a luxury car, sure. But we're not. It's £900. On a phone. If you're racking up so many finance plans on little items like a phone that you can't afford to pay for any of it upfront because you need that money to be able to still buy other things, well - you do you.

You can't just say I should "do some reading", I assure you I've "done some reading". I'm pushing you to justify your argument, this is your argument, the onus is on you. If you can't make a logical and compelling point in the last 3 posts you've made on the subject then you're arguing for the sake of justifying your own mindset - which sure, may be applicable to your financial situation, but certainly not everyones.

Amazon's showing next day delivery on the 128gb buy still 29th for the 256gb? Wonder what's going on with the stock.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
can we stop spamming thread with talk about money and finance. this is a phone forum :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] combat goofwing:
Just got off the chat with Amazon,ordered the black 128 gig on 18/4 like others told delivery 21/4 and it didn't happen .

Likes other delivery then slipped to 9/5

Like others been watching Amazon and delivery dates jumping all over the place until this morning when it said order for.fridsy delivery 24/4.

My order was still showing 9/5 ,but this morning Amazon charged my card for the phone ,which indicates they have stock and about ship .

So spoke to Amazon and told.to.watch delivery in account it will up date once dispatch order created .

So all being well should be Friday .
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:

they have the phones there but are being shady and only sending 128s out now and waiting for 256s

Cancelled my 16/4 order , Noticed Amazon charged me yesterday for the 2nd order ( i assume) so now sitting with 1 new order for 29th.

No doubt they will ship out all the originals now and it will backfire on me yet again, alike the swap from OP to Amazon ;/
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Hi, Been keeping tabs on this thread for a few days now and a few others as wanted to order the 8 pro off Amazon. Saw the updates earlier about them having stock so thought I'd check what it said for me. Placed my order on the app about 15 minutes ago for the black 8 pro 128gb and had option for tomorrow delivery if ordered within 3 hours so selected it. We'll see how it goes and update on here when i get updates but hopefully should get it tomorrow. Hope others get there issues sorted soon.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Cancelled my Amazon order today which was supposed to be delivered yesterday which then changed to 9th May.

The order I made yesterday which says April 29th has now been charged on my card for 889 with the 10 pounds taken off.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Yes for those who want 128 they can will get it either tomorrow or Friday.

Its the 256 orders which are still delayed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
how u get the 10 off
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
are you sure its not just a pending transaction?

mine shows transaction from today and yesterday orders as pending but cancelled yesterdays
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I was told the will request the money on a hold and when it's getting ready to dispatch the money will come out. So it's not showing as an actual transaction until that updates but the money has now deducted from credit amount
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Ahh okay, that's crazy and makes no sense unless they don't stock of the 256 yet but I'm sure they'll sort it soon.

Just got my wifes 1 out it is such a nice phone. I'm used to Note 9 chaotic feedback the chaotic feedback feels real nice. Screen looks brilliant. No screen protectors in the box 1 already applied
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
nope when you place order amazon place pending transaction which checks to see if you have the cash and some banks use this to deduct aviable balance.

it does not mean its shipping :)

I had same for order on 18th. It dissapered from account 2-3 days later. if you call your bank and ask they will most likely say its a pending transaction.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
heads up - if anyone wants the phone delivered tomorrow - you can buy it through Three....

I worked out it was cheaper overall to go with their 30gb data plan than it would be to get the phone separate and tariff separate.

All their phones come pre-unlocked as well
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Amazon now showing tomorrow delivery for 256!

But my order not updated. Still says 29th
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
??

Three are charging £59 a month for the 128gb Pro phone + 30gb 24 month contract and £29 upfront which works out as £1,445 total over 2 years.

Or you can buy the 128gb Pro for £799 + You can get a one month rolling sim from "Smarty" (who use Three's network) for £10 a month which includes 30gb data and unlim texts/minutes. Works out as £1,039 over 2 years.

You're paying an extra £406 over 2 years plus you're locked into the contract for 2 years. Terrible deal. You're on a roll with finance recommendations :D;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
