It's also against Google's TOS
i have a crap load of wave invites left....google hasnt given me my voice invites yet.
could anyone send me an invite for Google Voice, I would really like to try it out.
I gave out all my invites earlier, but... For those who want to try it out, sign up at google.com/voice and you'll get an invite from Google within 1-2 days.
So , as the topic says , ordered the nexus 5 through someone in ltaly only to find out that the phone is missing at delivery . The box only had the receipt inside . The person that helped me out called google and UPS and was told that they are going to get hold of him by tomorrow .
My question is : Could i get a replacement phone without paying another 400 euros ? What could he possibly do ? Just sit and wait ? Could Google refund us or maybe let us make a free purchase of the same device ?
EDITED : ADDED THE LAST RELEVANT POST
I'm sorry for bumping this topic .
Latest news is : UPS requested a replacement from the deposit in Amsterdam .
Story told by short . Someone (my dad) bought a Nexus 5 from Play Store , in order to test it and send it to me in another country if it is functional . He got and empty shipping box . Filed a complaint at Google and UPS . Google only answered with something like "we are going to look in to that" , UPS has done the same . Google has not responded again to the situation , UPS came and got the empty package , got a new status in shipping details saying that the phone is missing and they are contacting the sender(The Google deposit in Amsterdam , Holland).
Questions :
1. Has anyone else been through this ?
2. What is happening and what do they mean by calling the sender for more details ? (I am realy loosing my patience right now since i ordered mine 31 OCT , at about 27minutes in , and had to have the phone by 5th of november)
3.How long is it going to take to get a damned replacement ?
P.S.-Sorry for my rusty english .

So did the phone come to you or just the "random guy" you ordered it from. Guy might be trying to scam you.
You ask us as if we deal with this stuff everyday. To be honest I do not believe anybody that claims phone was broke upon arrival or even you that says had receipt but no box.

He's my dad . He wouldn't scam me.
@caribouxda : I just asked how this could end and i was asking the people that have been through this . If you don't believe me i don't really care to be honest .
PS - Forgot to mention that he ordered it from Google play

If your dad ordered it for you, he should probably be the point of contact for the shipper or Google to get a replacement. Can't hurt to ask.

Yes ! That is what I wanted to ask but might not have made my self undersood , i'm still very angry on the situation .
I wanted to know if he could get a replacement or a refund (preferably a replacement) without paying another 400 euros (I told him to buy it for me from there cause it's 100 euros cheaper then where i live and he should have sent it to me after he received it) and if the procedure is going to take a lot of time or is complicated.

There's a lot of factors in that. Your best bet is to start making some phone calls. Call the courier that was supposed to deliver, call Google, see what they can do. Good luck, mate.

You fail to mention the most important thing, was box opened/damaged? Any signs or that? Also did he take the package as soon as it was dropped off or he found it a couple of hours later.

He only mentioned that the box only had the receipt inside , don;t really know about damage or if it seemed opened before that . He took the package from the delivery guy but by the time he noticed the box was too easy the delivery guy was driving his car ~100m away .
P.S - I am only asuming he took it from the guys hands ... i was not given this information . I'll keep you updated and tell you more tomorrow wen i find out more.
So your dad ordered it from Google Play and had the delivery address set to YOU right? and when it arrived, phone was missing and only receipt? If so, then yeah, have your dad contact ups/google.
If your dad ordered it and it was delivered to him, then he separately shipped it to you and it's missing. That's on your dad/ups. Google is out of the picture by then.
This also happened to me. I was expecting it Nov 5 (my birthday, too!). Never came. Last thing was it was out for delivery, then a notice that says customer will pick it up *will call". I never got the call. I called for an update but they said they can't find it.
I got the same email from Google - gonna have to burn that IMEI number and order another one. 3-4 weeks it says for me. Why do I even bother ordering things on the first day. I always get disappointed one way or another.
Does this mean the phone won't work with any carrier? Or just the US? Does this mean they can't activate it, or just work work even with an already activated SIM card?

My N5 is also Lost and I didn't want to wait for Google to figure it out, so I placed another order Tuesday for White 32Gb and it said 2-3 weeks. This morning I got shipment confirmation and tracking number. Will ariive to my work tomorrow.
Google will Ban the IMEI definitely for USA. Not sure if they can ban for worldwide GSM. They probably can brick the device too, like how Apple didbeith the iPhone 4 lost at a bar.

Will call doesn't mean they are gonna call you lol. It means you gotta go pick it up from UPS.

He ordered it to his adress , he got the empty box . If he would have got the device he should have tested it and send it to me after . The phone got lost in between sending it from google to de delivery adress specified to google.

Well that's a bummer. Have you called UPS again? Maybe it was still on the truck or just temporarily lost in the shuffle. UPS is generally very good about keeping track of packages.

Looks like it's gone for good. They say they have too many trucks to search for. That's a good runaround because they could probably narrow down to just the one or two that service my area.

yeah because it accidently fell out of the box, while the receipt stayed in there? remember that the *package* arrived, it's the contents thats missing... face it, some dip**** took it. complain with google, shipping should be insured, hopefully will get a new one.

Well that sucks. At least google will have no qualms about sending you a new one, you're just gonna have to wait a little longer. When you finally get it you'll be happy.

I wasn't responding to the OP. The poster I responded to just never got the package. UPS lost it.
I received an invite an hour or so ago but I'm not sure if I'll use it.
Is the invite for the 16GB or 64GB version? The email doesn't say.
The email contains the invite link which expires in 24 hours. Do I get one chance at clicking the link and buying or can I click it just to check it out? Again the email doesn't say.
Thanks

It's for 64gb. If you click it it will get tied to your oneplus account so you won't be able to pass it to someone else if you don't want to buy it.

They must have had a surge of invites cause I got an invite today too and I never even posted anything on their site... I signed up for a username on their website quite awhile ago but it's weird they just randomly sent me one. :good:
Mine was for a 64GB sandstone backed.
If you click the link and log in it is claimed and bound to your account.
You have 24 hours to claim and pay for a One.
well probably shouldn't do this but if you're not using it may I have it?
It's gone already
Follow up question...if you use your invite and buy the phone, how long does it take to get the invites to share?

I heard it takes about a month or so to get invites. I still have no invites to give but I also only got my invite last week.
Bought One

By the looks of it the invite system depends on the period you created your OPO account, my friends account # was in 17xxx's(created in April) and he got an invite today. my account number is 53xxx(created in May) so i am guessing it might take another 1 month to get an invite.
payed 25 for a invite
but was wondering how long does it take to receive the 3 invites or is that even true you get the three invites when you purchase the phone lol
of course i will be giving them invites out:good::good::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
I've had the phone for about 3-4 weeks and still have not received invites to give out to anyone.
It'll take time to get the extra invites to give out to others.
Congratulations on your new purchase. Hope you enjoy it when you get it this week.
Look at the invites section of your OnePlus profile, that'll answer your question.
PS. Questions go in the Q&A Section.

No invites to share. Once you have purchased a phone you will be assigned sharable invites as we have stock available. Please note that it will happen randomly, not a specific amount of time after buying. You will receive an email when sharable invites are assigned to you.

i guess its random who knows could take weeks when the phones public lol
well anyways thanks for the answers gonna try and close the thread:good:
Yeah I bought mine about 3.5 weeks ago, haven't received my shareable invites yet though.

where did you buy your invite? What is the total cost?
OK so after posting a few #summershots on weekend. I didn't hear anything. Was in the process of emailing someone about buying his Chinese version. Then literally 10mins ago none other then my god damn oneplus one invite comes flying along via email. After jumping for joy for waiting a lonnng time. I realise s*** I haven't got paid yet. Now I'm in the UK. I get paid 28th invite expires I'm guessing 27th at 2200. How do you pay through checkout. Is it bank account details PayPal what. Only thing is I don't wanna pay for it and go overdrawn you get me. Lol. I'm feeling excitement and disappointment ATM. Help through this process from anyone would be welcome thanks.

You have 24 hours to take your invite and then 24 more hours to buy the phone so you cabn wait a bit, make your counts.
If you can't wait, just get some money laid by a friend and give them back later :good::laugh:

OK that's an idea so in theory I have 48 hours then. So I have 24 hrs to claim and then 24 hours after claiming to pay.
You pay through paypal. If you connected your bank account to paypal you can use that or add your credit card to paypal(which is probably the easiest).

No i do live in austria. I waited about 1 week after i orderd it -_- First thing what i did i downloaded from XDA the oneplus one toolbox an from there you can easyle unlock your bootloader and rooting your opo. Just boot in the Download Mod and connect your phone with the pc. The just press one button and thats it so its very easy
