Did you buy from Amazon.co.uk

or Amazon .com ?

not necessarily, if the charger you have for another device is same amperage, then your fine.

Or cheaper to buy a travel adapter

Yeah, it's from the UK site :P

He tells me that tablets come with a 7 or 10W charger, and mobiles, kindles etc. come with 5W. Apparently this is why it charges much slower but at least it'll still charge lol

I guess this is more of a personal annoyance as it's the fact they're shipping US devices at all that's annoying me. Mainly as I emailed them a week or two ago to ask if they were expecting more tablets in stock as they had an estimated 1 - 2 month dispatch estimate and the Marketplace sellers were offering US devices.

My Nexus 7 came with both but the way it was packaged I had to hunt for the UK connector.

There should be a UK adapter in the box - if not get them to send you one FOC.

Why did you not buy it from Google? Just asking as they has great customer service.

Are you sure that you have not realised that the "plug" is a UK one - the earth pin slides down to the normal position.....

I'm an idiot. There was a bit of tape hiding a "push" instruction. Damn, this is embarrassing, I put PCs together at 16 but can't operate a plug lmao on the plus side, my tech loving mate didn't click on either.

Thanks! Not sure how to lock/delete threads on here. Barely use the site.
