That would be nice! Though no one is at home to sign for it so I may have to pick it up/have it redelivered D:

You'll get a text asking if you'd like it rearranged, much like with DPD (they don't have the latter's excellent tracking though).

I think you can also get it dropped at your local DHL pick-up point too.

7 Shipment held - Available upon receipt of payment BRISTOL - UK 13:41

Nooo! Looks like it was missed then. Oh well will have to get it tomorrow, I won't be going to bristol!

EDIT: Wait, available upon receipt of payment? It's been paid, don't know what that means.

That doesn't look good.

The only payment I can imagine will be for customs (VAT and then potentially duty), but this will have already been paid by you if you bought from the Moto website...

EDIT: Call up DHL on their phone tracker number, and speak to their customer service. Explain to them the nature of the purchase, and they will hopefully send down an agent to talk it through with customs. It's possible that it's not clear on the shipment that fees have already been pre-paid.

Ok cheers, will give them a ring in a bit!
 
I've spoken to them now, they put me through to the payments department who said no payment was needed, so I rang the enquires dept back and told them this and they said it will be out for delivery tomorrow now!

Not too bad, shame I have to go 1 more whole day without it!

Glad to hear that it's sorted now.

A classic example of arse & elbow - I had a very similar experience with FedEx just the other day.

Yeah, now I just have to wait to see if they actually send it off tomorrow! Will be expecting weekend delivery from them if not!

Did the enquiries department say what payment was flagged? If it was indeed customs-related fees then they will likely claim it was out of their control and no compensation (either in the form of 'special' delivery or a refund on shipping costs) can be given. If they messed-up though, then they may refund Moto but as shipping was 'free' you won't see a penny.
 
Won't be vat as it was paid when you ordered it. Not enough anyway the ammount they asked. Looks like a **** up to me or someone collecting for their works party :rolleyes:

Yeah the inquiries dept said it was customs-related, but when I got to the finance dept there was no cost on the invoice, so they said no action was needed and it should be sent tomorrow. So I rang back inquiries to make sure it will be sent tomorrow, and so they sent a note on to say to send it out tomorrow!

So hopefully I will get it :)
 
First proper day of use today.......

Battery life is a non-issue for me. Currently sitting at 47% with 2:20 SOT which is probably a typical day for me. Off charge at 6am.

I've found a fix for the Ford Sync issue with the phone book - the 'Bluetooth Phonebook' app from the Play Store seems to fix it and it now syncs fine. Bluetooth music worked fine too.

I'm still in two minds as to whether I like the active display - having it flash up notifications is great but my phone spends all day on my desk at work and every time I move my hands anywhere near it, the screen switches on. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

All in all, I'm pretty happy. The size is spot on for me and is what the N6 should have been.
 
Still not sent off yet... but it should be within the next hour! Otherwise I have to ring them again.

So it turns out it was infact a VAT invoice, just for zero £!
Just a little screw up somewhere, but the guy said he is 99.9% sure it will be going out and to keep an eye on the tracking.
 
I don't think I could wait as (im)patiently as you are!

Good news - according to a number of reports on XDA, it looks like the European version of Lollipop is starting to roll out. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for those of us in the UK.
 
Yer saw that this morning. A fella had got notification of an update for L on his XT 1092 so maybe not so long to wait. I checked mine just in case when I read it but I'm still up to date..

Haha I have been mashing F5 all day on the tracking, and rang them 3 times :p

Last call was the most successful, even though it's not out for delivery yet I had it confirmed from the depot that they were still scanning items due to the time of year, but it is definitely going out today. They delivery until 10pm.

And my Sim card just arrived too at my house, so it's all working out perfectly! :D

On a side note I recently factory restored my Galaxy S3, and the battery life is now pretty incredible on it compared to what it was before. Having about 30 to 40% left by the time I get in bed. Hoping I don't notice the difference with the Moto X too much. Your results seem pretty promising though Batfink.

EDIT:
Woooooooooo!

See my post a couple above, in the spoiler tags. It seems to be a week from when you order, or 4 days from when it's dispatched. Mine had an issue with VAT for some reason so got delayed a day longer, so it's a week and one day since I get mine!

I expect you'll get yours around the 17th.

DHL are very busy this time of year though and it seems my delivery today could be quite late in the day today.

edit: Nearly 6pm and still not here :( Booo!
