Worst Gadget Buy EVER !!!

I have been wanting and waiting on the Xperia for a year now. Ever since they first started talking about it on the web. I pre-ordered the phone through Dynamism and cancelled the order twice with each delay. I heard that many people were ordering from Expansys and decided that since they had them in stock, I would give them a try.
Thursday morning I tried to order the Xperia from them with my Paypal account when there were 7 available units on their website. I had to jump through many hoops because my confirmed address with Paypal is a Post Office Box and Fed Ex will not deliver to a PO Box .. I scanned envelopes as requested by Expansys, showing that I received deliveries at my office address. I kept checking by telephone to see if their order department received the scans. A few hours later they said 'yes they had finally received the scans of my office delivery address, but now the phone was SOLD OUT.' I was told to keep checking the website to see when more units become available .." Expansys issued a refund to Paypal, but Paypal has not yet released it to me because the money I paid with came from my bank and they have to wait until that clear, which it did, but Paypal gave me some lame excuse ... Said I will have the refund within 4 business days.
Late in the day I saw the Expansys website was showing 72 available units. Quickly I called their UK office - My 6th international call in one day, can't wait to get the bill. The UK office was now closed and my call was forwarded to the USA .. I was talking to the USA at international rates
Spoke with someone named **** in the USA office. He said that even though the site says 72 units available, he can't say for sure if there really are any until I place an order. Said I could try and purchase one and see what happens.. So I did.
First I explained "I can't afford to have more money taken from my account if there aren't going to be any available phones." and he assured me that my debit card will NOT be charged if the phones are on back order.
I entered the debit card info, but with the wrong expiration date and the order didn't go through ... their computer retried the card 3 times and that put a lock on my card. I didn't know why it wasn't going through, or that the card was now destroyed, but since I have two bank accounts I used my other debit card.
That card was approved but inventory once again showed NO PHONES AVAILABLE. **** was on the line with me while I was ordering and on the line when the message came back NONE AVAILABLE .. He was still on the line when I logged into my online banking and sure enough, the failed order placed another hold on $800+ It will take 4 days for that hold to be removed. There is nothing I can do, my bank can do or Expansys can do to release the funds..
Last night when my bank saw another attempt to charge from Expansys.com they thought they were doing me a favor and froze that card too. I couldn't buy a cup of coffee at McDonald's this morning with either card and when I called my bank to ask why, they told me what had happened and why both cards were locked.
It didn't matter that my bank locked my second card, because by now there wasn't much money left ..
BUT BEFORE MY ACCOUNTS WERE FROZEN ..
I read here that someone was selling some Xperias on eBay .. person has great feedback etc ... With the last of my money I tried again. He shipped UPS yesterday morning and now .. more than 24 hours later .. my phone is still in customs in London for 'unknown reasons.' I was supposed to be getting it tomorrow ..
SO ... other than THAT Mrs. Lincoln .. How was the play ???

OMG
You're truly a gadget maniac to go through all that for a phone...
I salute thee and hope that you get your money and your Xperia soon enough
Makes me feel guilty that i can just go downtown and get one

Man I can't believe what you've dealt with trying to get an X1. After all the frustration and stress you deserve it for free but we all know they're definitely not giving these things away . Wish I would have posted something sooner about Clove's service because they made the wait manageable and handed things very professionally.
Anyhow, props on being so patient and persistent! Let us know when it finally arrives and I certainly hope it is soon. Once you do get it, you won't regret it.....it's an awesome device.

I just checked with UPS again. They still can't tell me where the package is, why it hasn't moved or when I will receive it. I put a stop pay on my Paypal payment. I don't think I want this phone anymore. I am surely not going to pay a high dollar for it .. I will wait until something new comes out. This experience has taken all the fun out of the phone ...

If you imported it from the US to the uk and customs have nabbed it, I'm sorry to say that you'll probably have to pay 17.5% tax, with some random £8 or so fee to boot.
I've had the same when ordering memory from ebay, I had to pay an extra £50 on top of what I'd paid, as well as waiting 3-4 days for customs to get their finger out of their...

It is coming from the UK to the USA .. Hasn't moved for 48 hours. This is my thought. The package is going to my office. A coin shop. the word "coin" is in the name of the business. I forgot to tell the seller to remove that. My bet is on that someone at UPS thought it was full of coins and opened it. Then tossed it aside when they didn't find any. If it had contained coins, I would have received an empty box.
ALSO.. Our insurance company will no longer insure packages that are shipped UPS for this exact same reason.

I dont know, maybe it wasnt meant to be.

Gutted, I hope it does turn up for you, I'd be mightily miffed (as I was when ordering that memory) if anything got delayed.
I'm waiting for word from Vodafone UK when they get some xperias in stock, I'm exchanging my Touch Pro as I've had a quick go on an xperia one of my colleagues has gotten his hands on and I'm quite impressed by the responsiveness compared to the TP.

+1, from the title I thought you didn't like the phone. Sorry about all your trouble.

True it's just a phone, but that phone cost her her morning coffee and that is nothing to be joked about
to OP: I hope you get the phone soon and that all the trouble is left behind

You basically screwed your self 3 times here trying to get this phone. Chill out and wait till you know for sure. Customs does this **** all the time, they can take anything they want and hold it for as long as they want. Happens to me all the time with shipments from Thailand for my company. You definitely shouldn't have done Paypal, then had them refund it, and then use your debit card (with the same company) the same day for the phone again, that was stupid. You should have just given the money via paypal and been the first to get the phone when it was back in stock. I am sure you have another phone you can use in the meantime.

OK .. my final post on this subject - Got my last payment refunded by the ebay seller. Of course, gotta wait for it to clear before I get access to that money. Have first payment still on hold in Paypal and the second on hold at my bank .. but the GOOD NEWS IS ..
My regular gadget seller has one coming to me overnight - saturday delivery .. He just got his shipment in. I buy most of my gadgets from him and he is totally reliable and honest .. in case anyone is looking .. In fact. Sometimes he has things that he hasn't up on his website yet. Thats how it was with my Blackberry Bold and my HTC Touch Pro .. just tell him Diane sent you .. you won't be disappointed .. EVER !!
His name is Ron and his website is www.networkingrus.com - I should have waited on him. He seems to always get the latest gadgets quick for a USA seller. He was a lagging a little behind the UK -- - but I had asked him weeks ago to let me know when he got the xperia in and at noon he sent me an email saying he had some. YIPPEE <<< I will yell that tomorrow in BOLD if nothing goes wrong ..

Expansys is a great place to buy from. Just make sure you're buying through your country. Being in the US and buying from expansys UK is a huge hassle. You should have bought through expansys USA. http://www.expansys-usa.com we had 4 arrive today.

Yippee !!!

Oh man, you really need that phone so bad I'm still waiting it to be released officially in Hungary, though I could buy it already trough UK stores. Nothing's worth so much trouble with customs and foreign online stores
BTW Expansys sells the X1 at a very expensive price, I wouldn't recommend to buy it from them.
I hope the X1 will please you

Glad to hear!
I've had a text from Vodafone confirming that I'll get mine on monday
I'm looking forward to the xperia, from what I've seen of a mate's phone, it's more responsive and is much better for playing and recording videos than my Touch Pro. I'll miss the keyboard on my TP though...

Buying a DVP actually at T-Mobile?

Ok.. I am thinking, before placing my order again for the umpteenth time at Dell, since I am coming all the way to the States to get it anyway, does anyone have any info on when/if they'll actually BE at a T-Mobile store? has anyone asked? since they'll have the damn T-Mobile logo on them aaaaanyway...
Christ Dell, you fricking suck.

I'm 99% sure you can only get them from a Microsoft store or Dell. Plus some online retailers like Expansys in the future.

Probably not going to be in T-Mobile stores. They don't suck , you have an unusual request. My company won't ship out of country or to forwarding services either.

It's not even a forwarding issue anymore. I am even agreeing to physically come to the States to take delivery/sign for it with US details for everything and they are rejecting the order. Having to wait to actually talk to staff on Monday, but right now I think I may have no choice but to get a Focus if Monday is a snafu.
Anyway I think at this point all their dates are BS, i would be highly surprised if they actually do ship anything out on the 13th-14th

Haha, well if you like this phone so much that you are agreeing to come to the states to get it then I think they should just give you one for free for being a hell of a customer. Hopefully they get everything out on time I took off of work a couple hours early in anticipation.

T-Mobile are the ones who decide what's carried in their stores, not Dell. Dell had no problems supplying it to MS stores so it would appear you are angry at the wrong company. Better to wait till stock is abundant, fly to a city with an MS store so you can physically get the device and purchase it from them.

LOL it's actually not that big of a deal, it's $30-100 bus ride for me depending on how far I go to do it. I figured the customs + fedex would be at least that much and this way I'd eliminate time and uncertainty but yeah, Dell seems to be terminating at extreme and unusual prejudice and if they don't want a sale they don't want a sale. Just don't blame mexicans or whoever for the faltering economy when you leave money on the table like this.

This wont help this thread but I actually went into a T-mobile store yesterday and was asking the rep a few questions about their network. Those reps in the store cant wait for me to get my DVP so they can play with with it when i come in to activate my service. I had several reps tell me that the phone looks awesome, and this is oming from Android users

[Q] anyone had their tracking order emailed yet?

As the thread title says, anyone had it? I haven't yet but whoever has we can get a timeframe on how long it should take for us UK peeps

I'm in the same boat my friend. I must have checked my email every 10 mins since Friday. Other than the "we'll start delivering on Monday" email I've heard nothing.

Same here, keep on refreshing the inbox but no luck

Think if I don't have an email by lunch time I'll give them another call.

The Dixons page has changed.
It`s now showing

Hmm. Well that's tomorrow so if someone ordered from the website today thay might get it tomorrow. BUT does that also mean that they are shipping pre-orders today?

Probably
going on what PCW said the other day 'they are receiving the Xoom's in stock on saturday' and 'DHL that are delivering only work Mon-Fri' - if they get the stock on Sat, one would assume they can't pass it to DHL till Monday (today), and they'll faff around with it till tomorrow at least!
I'd assume PCW/Dixons/Currys being the same company will operate in the same fashion... although perhaps using different deliverys depending on the area

Very interesting, i ordered mine from pcworld, and they are still showing delivery available 9th april, which as we know is last weekend. interesting from dixons however. i just want my xoom already dammit lol

Surely all they need to do from the US version is stick a new plug in the box?

You would think so, but then you got the manuals which will probably have to be reworded and so on and so forth, plus things like volume would have to be readjusted as the volume laws are different in both countries, so thhings like that would have to be sortedbefore shipping, dam eu laws, wish i just ordered one from the usa, did that when i got my exus one, dam i miss that phone

didn't realise volume laws were different.
the manual - no one reads anyway? D) - who cares if it says 'color' or 'colour'

dammit, just had an email, but from o2 saying my home broadband bill was ready, grrrr, got my hopes up and everything. and yeah, its like that to protect our ears apparently. if i want to become deaf it shouldbe my own dam choice lol anyway back to topic, still no email

Avoid DailySteals!!!

I ordered an EVO View 4G from DailySteals during the liquidation sale and got an empty box. I emailed them and got no response and their phone number directs you to email them.
I just won my PayPal dispute but wanted to warn others about their practices to help someone else avoid my troubles. Now off to scour eBay for a View close to what I got back from them.

I ordered a NEW Nexus S from them. Came out just what I expected. Even the factory screen protectors were there. IMHO DailySteals is a legitimate site which sells items at huge discounts. Hopefully it works out for you because I had luck with them in the past. Oh and when I emailed them when it would ship they replied 24 hours later saying it just shipped.

Well I am glad it worked out for you but a lot of reviews state the site is bad news, I didn't find them until I started having problems with them. Maybe it was a mistake but the fact they ignored countless emails day after day just seems wrong to me.

Yeah if I was in your same situation I would of acted the same way. When I looked at the reviews when I was thinking about buying the Nexus S, all the reviews were good except for the fact that shipping was slow. GL.

yea i ordered nexus s and it was legit. Maybe they did a mistake or something.

I believe that Dailysteals acts as a middle man or liquidation service...
I have ordered from them and got the item in 3 days, and I have ordered from them and it took 14 days.

I order items from them all the time, and their affiliate icemonkey, never an issue. Most things take a while to get here.

Haven't had an issue. Support is slow, shipping is slow, but my package arrived in condition as described.

Never again!

I ordered the htc view on the 16th and mine still has not shipped. Am calling my credit card company by friday if i dont get legit tracking.
They no longer reply to emails phone or chat.
But they sure as hell are still selling items everyday.
They are scammers.
What they do is committ to sell and ship items without knowing how many theybcan even get. Then when they cant get enough they wont tell you in hopes that you just go away and only respond once you file a claim.

That's pretty absurd to be honest. What seems far more likely and logical is that they deal with a 3rd party supplier. There have been cases where they over sold an item, but I've never heard of someone not getting their money back.
And do you people think you are the only ones who buy from them? They sell HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of items a day for suppliers who are likely over seas. This kind of activity takes TIME and PEOPLE and most of that is likely out-sourced... guess where... over seas!
Also remember, you don't get tracking till it's in the country. Only super expensive 3rd party shipping get tracked from over seas.
It's like Wal-Mart. I hate that place because there are a million people there at all hours of the day and most of them are pieces of garbage in one form or another. That's my opinion, I'm entitled to it. Know what I do though? I DONT GO TO WALMART.
If you don't like how a business who is obviously successful handles it's business... DONT USE THEM. Complaining and shouting absurdities is not going to get you far.
I've never had any problem with Dailysteals or 1saleaday.... It just takes patience sometimes.

your rant would be valid if they stated their shipping and handling times. i haven't gone to their web-site, but i'm sure they don't state it's gonna take forever (i.e. more than 1 week) to ship.

One week isn't that long to piece everything together. You get amazing deals if they have what you're looking for

I think we reap what we sow, what goes around comes around, you get it in your own dish, do unto others.........
What if you kept it and they found there error in a month, you sold it or gave it to someone and now the want it back.

Your most likely right but @supremekizzle did the right thing.

legally they can't do anything. shipping something to someone is concidered a gift if you didn't authorize the purchase.
reap/sow/comes around crap... things don't come ariund they just keep going. and whose to say what's just happened isn't a reaping.

Definitely kudos for keeping it honest in a sea of immorality....

Yeah, but in all likelyhood if I would've kept it they would've found out anyway. The funny thing is, it originally was shipped with UPS shurepost which I upgragged to UPS ground. The second one I got was also upgrated automatically. So I wonder if they shipped it out using the exact same shipping label. Maybe they would've never found out after all. But it'd be a ****ty thing for me to do to keep it

Good job OP.

Man screw that. I wouldnt have said a word... Karma doesnt affect business deals, only when you screw over a person.
I had a similiar issue with a Nexus 10. I had to exchange it so Google sent me an RMA, i sent it back and they said they never got it yet they sent me a new one when they were in stock.
Then refunded my money. So in essence, I got free Nexus 10 Tablet form Google.
The same people that hoard our data and then sell it without our knowledge or TRUE consent (yeah, Samsung does it too!) dont deserve the same rights that the shop keep down the street from me deserves.
OP you wasted your time emailing. They gifted you a tablet. Were were you when I was struggling for donations to buy mine? lol

Man screw that. I wouldnt have said a word... Karma doesnt affect business deals, only when you screw over a person.

I'm not a huge believer in karma. At all, actually. I was worried more about them coming back at me asking for the money to pay for it months later. Maybe they would've never found out, maybe not. I will never know for sure now...

legally they can't do anything. shipping something to someone is concidered a gift if you didn't authorize the purchase.
reap/sow/comes around crap... things don't come ariund they just keep going. and whose to say what's just happened isn't a reaping.

I'm not sure that's true. Zavvi sent out PS Vita's by accident to customers and made a legal case out of it. AFAIK, they were actually backed up by UK law. That said, I'm sure it's entirely a country dependant thing.

Well letting them know saves you from worrying I guess.

Have you ever had the bank put a "gift" in your account? And did they just smile when you later found they had rescinded that gift? Lol.
