My shipment is Missed! your advice please

Gentlemen,
I need your advice.
I purchased HTC Touch HD ,more than one, devices with some accessories from (www. . . . . .co.uk) website last Wed 17-Dec-2008 and it was shipped through a well known courier company. It was expected to be delivered on Dec20.
I followed up with the two parties.
Conclusion: the shipment is confirmed to be missed (lost) and can not be traced.
The sender company representative emailed me today that I should wait until all parties' offices open after Xmas leave and until that they can not assist me.
I live outside UK.
1-What should I do?
2-What compensation I'm entitled to claim?
Your advice please.
Thank you.

Hello,
I am looking to purchase the Touch HD asap. I found a UK seller called Electronics system (Dave Peter) but his price is very low at $330 shipped to Los Angeles. Just emailed him now, to see if he can take credit cards through a PayPal type service. Are there any places you would recommend to purchase from?
Thanks!

I've had very good experience with clove.co.uk.
The $330 price is suspiciously low - significantly lower than what I've paid for with 2 year contract

I bet it was those horrid people at DHL or BusinessPost.

Thanks DigiMagic, I now agree. But with all the pain issues, I've been reading about here, I think I may hold off on a purchase.

Any Advice gentelmen?

so to the OP you live in the U.S.? where did u order from? if need be PM me, i just ordered from a website this past weekend and want to make sure i didn't order from the one you did

T-Mobile Reps?

Is anyone that's a member here at XDA currently affliliated with T-mobile? I ask this because I am one of the unlucky few who did not make the cut this morning and recieve their fresh HD2... =(
Either way.. if someone here who works for T-Mobile can accurately tell me when you guys are planning to restock, it would greatly be appreciated and I'm sure other members here would like to hear this info as well.. Thanks

^ thanks for the reply.. but that wasn't what i asked for... any deal thats not available at authorized t-mobile stores is something that i'm not interested in.... besides, i have to go in a authorized store.. can't do anything online...
(I'm currently with ATT and i'm switching providers.)

well you get $100-150 for switching from a carrier to tmobile.
the winmobile deal is a authorized tmobile deal, but only via phone sales at that number

I work for T-Mobile and I can tell you that even at our flagship location (where I work) we only recieved 20 units. There was very little stock in the initial shipment, I will know more on Friday when I go into work. I'll check back here and if you havent posted anything I'll let you know what I find. Obviously stock will depend on where you are but in general I would say, keep calling the stores in your area and ask to be placed on a call back sheet.
If you are switching over, I can assure you the rep you speak with WILL call you back (if s/he values their paycheck ) I know I would!
They should have a signup sheet for HD2s (We do in our store...)

I switched from ATT to T-Mobile online with no problems. Was not after any of the discounts really though so going in makes sense if thats what you want.

when you call the number it is tmobile's telesales. well i tried to save you $50 more on the phone but i guess that failed

nah man.. don't be like that haha... i appreciate your help..i really do.. and for other members.. it might prove useful for them.. but for myself... i would like to know about going to the actual retail store.. not online.. but thanks mate

oh well if this helps. I got my phone in store for $199.99 called the number listed and got the $50 credit honored on my account. if that helps any.
Good luck with the switch over to tmobile.

well now THAT indeed does help... i will most definitely try that (once i find a retail store that restocks their supply)... thanks a bunch

Did you check authorized dealers like Radio Shack or Walmart? Minneapolis area is sold out at T-Mo stores but radio shack still had one last night. Also if you have a new account Radio Shack said they had better deals.

Shipping to Kuwait

I understand this is not exactly a Nexus S related query, but any help will be appreciated.
I'm not from the US ... live in Kuwait. I've asked a friend to get me the phone as I tried my best to get it ... proxy, bestbuy, paypal ... all of it gave me a lot of NOs.
As per the tracking no. my friend will be getting the phone tomorrow. I've asked him to use it for 2 days to check for the known problems (I've send him a list)
My query/ questions is:
He lives in Saratoga, CA (the phone was shipped from Palatine, IL (almost across). Now, once he has done his testing, I would like him to ship it to an Aramex mailbox I have got in Springfield Gardens, NY (yeah again, all the way back across the US). Can someone tell me which would be the cheapest, safest and yeah quickest way for it to be shipped from CA to New York?
I really don't want to trouble him and tell him to check out which is the cheapest, so if one of you'll know, I'd really appreciate guidance.
Thanks & Cheers

US Postal Service (aka the mail) is the cheapest shipping out there, especially across country.
Fed Ex and United Parcel Service can be a little quicker, but they charge a big premium for it.
If your friend does use Postal Service, tell him to buy the extra insurance coverage...it will be a small amount, and a waste of money in the end, but better to be safe than sorry if it's lost or damaged...
edit: PS, you can go online for any of the big three and check rates yourself, by the way...

Thanks distortedloop
Like you've advised, I'll ask him to go the postal service route with insurance.
Went to the usps.gov site, but could not figure out how things work so gave up on it. Will tell my friend to do it.
Thanks again.

Hmmm...try this link: http://postcalc.usps.gov/
Should take you straight to the Domestic Rate calculator. Enter to and from zip codes, package size/weight, and class of mail.

FedEx Charged me 170 US From states to Kuwait.
I asked in Ebay some told me 125 some 150.
I payed 170 cause combined price was cheaper than the others.
Peace.

Interesting and possible they got some of the Ones released in Germany (Their physical address on the site says "Warsaw, Poland"). I'd have to check on them before I bought anything since I've never heard of them.
Just found this on a quick Google search for them: http://www.scamadviser.com/is-idigitalshop.com-safe.html
Not sure if they're good or bad, but they are very new apparently.

they told me their phones comes from usa partner... in fact they are 64Gb..

It could be.
But I still don't believe they have them in stock. (especially the RED one!!!)

Really don't think its true since they claim to have a "Red HTC One" in stock.. someone call contact them and find out

i made a contact yesterday, thay told me so.. i was wondering if someone has already bought something from them

from scamadviser.com:
Analysis Details:-
This webiste is very new , and as such doesn't have an online reputation yet. As with all new businesses , we suggest that you take care and if necessary get in contact with the owners before placing an order of value.
This site is using an anonymous service - which prevents us from identifying the site owner. This can sometimes be just so that the owner does not receive spam, but be aware that many scam sites use this as a method to hide their identify.

mmm... why the hell they should use anonymous service??

I'm from Warsaw and they use false postal code... I've asked them a question, now waiting for answer, but I'd be very careful.

Sounds too good to be true

Apparently they have a mobile number in the contact us page which is always off lol

Actually it's not a mobile, but it still sounds too suspicious for me.

Come on, guys: it's a SCAM!
They pretend to have in stock the Red one and to sell all versions a a ridicolous price!!! :silly:

But how can a land line is unavailable/switched off

It looks like polish land line. It isn't switched off, it looks like there's an automated secretary on this line.

HTC Champions is offering carrier employees a m9 at $299 off contract

HTC has a program called Champions for employees of carrier retail stores. They are offering them a M9 at $299 off contract. Furthermore if they buy a M9 from the discount program they can trade it in for the next One at no extra charge with their "One for Life" program. I posted the screen shot from the email on my G+ page: https://plus.google.com/+PatrickHill/posts/Mr462GhpLbw
So if you work in a carrier store go sign up for Champions and get your M9 for only $299

is this us only?

My store wasn't listed, but it's a small mom and pop shop that IS an authorized T-Mo dealer. Hope I'm able to be considered and that it isn't closed to only those who work at the retail stores.

I wish I was working at a carrier retail store. Ugh maybe next time... Wondering if a friend who works there can do the favor for none workers?

These deals are generally restricted to corporate retail stores by the phone manufacturers as they do actually verify that you're eligible before allowing you to make the purchase. Could be different for this deal but I'm assuming it's not.

I am a member of HTC champions. there is a strict verification policy to ensure that you are a corporate retailer employee. The community is meant to help dealers learn about HTC and interact with other corporate employees.

Is it a U.S. only offering?

Did you use your work email if you have one? Just wanted to make sure cuz I just used my personal email to sign up but I dont know if they use the corporate email to verify or anything (I have one if they need it). And would you mind saying how long it took for you to get verified?

I went to the Montclair, New Jersey HTC event on 4-9 to pick up mine.

I should really get a part time job at a store so I can get these kind of perks. I sell enough phones usually just by talking to people about phones and helping them decide then some of these sales reps I usually school any of the young sales reps that try to help me when I'm in a store.. I actually cut into one guy's sale at AT&T because he was telling this customer sh** that just was false and set him straight real fast.. haha

Are we sure this is US only? I really hope not. I'm Canadian and my store was listed when I signed up... It even allows Canadian addresses (listing provinces and allowing postal codes, etc). I'd be deeply disappointed if we're left out of this. Does anyone know?

Sorry for the long response time.
I pretty sure that you have to set it up through your work email. You just find your store in the list and I think you also get verified with your work email.
I'm not too sure how long it took to verify but on the discount page it mentioned that if you recently created an account, it could take up to 2-3 days to process if you just started as it's a different website that you buy from and separate from HTC Champions.
I set up HTC champions well over a year ago and kind of fuzzy on the exact details but use your work email for everything HTC and you will be fine.
Edit: Found this on the promo page
Please allow for up to 48 hours if you are newly registered to Champions.

So that's the time you might have to wait and I honestly don't see this selling out quickly as it's not a very popular phone.

Judging by the content of your post history and your impatience I would bet you're someone who doesn't work at a carrier store, who got into Champions, got an order in and are now waiting to see if they will actually ship it or if you will get busted and it be cancelled... If that's not the case I apologize but if that is the case (which I would think someone who worked at a carrier store would be more knowledgeable than the content and questions you've asked in your posts.. for example.. asking if the GS5's all had yellow screens or if it was just yours.. if you had worked in a carrier store you could have compared it to many others in stock or that you sold) then I hope you do get busted and the order doesn't ship. I didn't post this for people to take advantage.. I posted it for legit carrier employees who might not even know about the program... Again.. If I'm wrong I apologize.

Bad day at work? Or you had a case of the Mondays? What ever it maybe and judging for your post and tone it looks like you're taking out your frustion on me. If you have a problem with I said you should PM me instead of trying to publicly humiliating me on XDA.
Now the reason why I ask is because I know someone who works at a ATT and was able to convice him to order one for me since he is part of HTC champion. Since you made this thread for people who work in retail carrier stores, I figured I would ask
for example.. asking if the GS5's all had yellow screens or if it was just yours..
