Hi Guys,
Had a quick look round and didn't see this posted anywhere so thought it might be usefull to those that want to save some cash.
If you sign onto Quidco and then go to the comet site through their 2.5% cashback link and then when your at the basket in comet put in the following code 5OFF (5% off) then you will get ur Transformer for just over £351 (total of 7.5% off). Enjoy
The 5OFF code only seemed to work if I went through Quidco though.

I think that is what was meant - 2.5% plus the 5% (5OFF) code. That is what I paid also.
Yeah it is a total of 7.5%, 2.5 from comet and the code gives you 5% off. Sorry for any confusion, I have updated my post to hopefully make it clearer.
I went through Quidco and it didn't recognise 5OFF
Did I do something wrong, or has this finished?

I had a lot of hassle ordering from Comet - they rejected me using a Hotmail email account, not using my billing address as the delivery address and giving them a mobile number as contact details rather than a landline - though none of this was in the order rejection emails they sent me (first time I ordered with a debit card and got the payment problems email back, then I tried ordering with a credit card and got a message back saying they'd tried to contact me regarding problems with my order although no message or email had been left).
I had to call them up in the end and do the whole order over the phone on Saturday (received my eee Pad yesterday). The rep said they'd make a note about the problems I had ordering and the less than descriptive rejection emails I received.
Anyway, if you're still having problems, take these things into account when you're making the order.
Ahh, that makes sense! Has anyone tried using the code 50OFF?
Edit: For those running into errors with 5OFF, try 5SPRING instead.

Comet were giving you a load bull. I used my Hotmail account, billing address not same as delivery address & I also used a mobile number. No problems at all. Order was accepted 1st time with all the discount codes & it arrived today but I haven't actually opened it yet as I'm in the process of arguing with them their returns conditions.
I already have a 7" Samsung galaxy Tab which I take everywhere & I'm still on the fence as to whether the 10" size suits me. I want to try it & refund if it doesn't suit. Now Comet charge a 10% restocking fee for open box returns which I think goes against the distance selling rules here in UK.

I have a Galaxy Tab and a Transformer, and I can tell you it is very unlikely you'd travel with the Transformer instead of the Tab. However, for a coffee table tablet, the Transformer is great - the browsing experience us much closer to a full blown laptop than the Tab, and the Honeycomb apps (eg Gmail) are superb.
In summary - out and about, you'll use the Tab, but at home you'll use the Transformer except perhaps late at night in bed, when the smaller size and weight of the Tab may be preferable.
I pretty much expected this before I got my Transformer, so I'm not disappointed with my purchase.
One other thing, the Galaxy Tab is a much better media player in my opinion.
Regards,
Dave

Woot!
Placed an order for my HD2 on Vodafone contract via mobiles.co.uk today =D
Seems to be processing ok so far. Can't get my hopes up until it's all confirmed, but woot!
They say shipping on the 11th (Wed).
Should be awesome!
i put in an order yesterday, current status is "pending". i guess thats the same for you? also where did u see the shipping info?
just got the following email and sms:
Hello,
Thank you for your recent order.
We can confirm that your order has been accepted by your chosen network and has now been passed to our Quality Team for further checks.
Kind regards,
Mobiles.co.uk
all looking good, lets just hope they have the phone soon
I phoned and asked when it was going to be shipped =) They said 11th by DHL
Mine has apparently gone into the security and credit checks. So they said to wait a few hours to get an email about it all.
Hope it all goes through ok. When did you order yours yesterday? What time?
i ordered last night around 7pm. really cant wait for this phone

Nice mate. What network? Same here. Really can't wait =D Looks beastly (in a good way)!
went for vodafone as o2 tariffs dont seem to include data. whats the current status on ur order tracking page?
Still says pending. What about yours?
On Vodafone also. For friends and family. And data of course.
Oops. Double post.
Mines still on pending although i did receive that email earlier. i tried to pre order yesterday from mobilesphonesdirect and they cancelled my order. cheeky buggers also took money from my account which will take 3 days to get back to my account..............

It takes a bit less than 3 days. I had a few orders with them, but my card wouldn't process.
So far it seems ok with mobiles.co.uk
I hope it all goes through. Seems they are finishing bits on yours, as if Vodafone have accepted your credit check, it should be fine =)
I really don't want to be disappointed. Will stop exciting myself.
Well, I phoned, and my order went through credit check fine, and is going through security check was I type.
They said to me, the status will stay as pending, until the phone is actually shipped when they get the stock in.
Sounds good to me ^^
I ordered on the O2 for £25.00 per month as the unlimited data bolt on is £7.00 and I hear bad things about Vodafone’s fair usage policy.

Hello,
Thank you for your recent order.
Unfortunately, the item you ordered is temporarily out of stock but a large delivery is expected very soon. We have placed your order for this on hold and will notify you as soon as we have more information.
Turnover of stock is often extremely quick and this can mean on rare occasions our website is not up to date. If you have not received an update on the stock situation within 24hrs please contact our Order Processing team
Rest assured that we will not charge your card for out of stock items until they are back in stock and ready for despatch.
Regards,

Basically, I have passed all the credit and security checks, and now my order is in a queue for when the stock comes in.
It's an automated email to say that your order has been processed, but out of stock (not even in stock, in the case of the HD2!).
I'm so excited!

Nope. I phoned them to check on the status, and they told me I had passed the credit check, and it was going through the security checks.
Then I received that email, about it being out of stock (it's pretty much a confirmation, but as the phone isn't in stock, and it's automated, the system thinks its out of stock).
I phoned them when I got that, and they said I had passed the security check also, and that was order was now in the queue waiting for the phones to arrive, and be shipped on Wed by DHL.

ah ok, was wondering why your order has progressed further than mine
So what price plans / phone costs have you guys paid. Mobiles.co.uk seem to have quite expensive contract deals to get the phone free, and charge a lot for cheaper contracts
I reserved an epic but I don't have anything that actually says that. When I go to the store tomorrow will they just have a record of my reservation or do I need to call and get them to email me some kind of reservation paper that I can print?
you should have received an e-mail with confirmation.
This is the link provided with the confirmation to change/check on, etc your reservation:

It says: "There are no appointments at this location associated with this phone number." I didn't enter a location, just my phone number, so I don't know what place it is checking.
If this thing is correct I'm going to be really pissed off. I called sprint like 10 times leading up to the preorder and they told me I was good to go. If I don't get an epic tomorrow this will be the last time sprint screws me over.
hmm maybe thats for my store... sorry for the confusion.
Check your junk email or something, if you reserved they would have sent you a confirmation email. subject: Your Samsung Epic 4G reservation is confirmed and it's from:
"Sprint" <[email protected]>
You should have gotten an email when you first did the reservation. Everyone else did. Have you considered the possibility of user error?
If you reserved one successfully you would have gotten 2 emails by now. One when you made the reservation, and the 2nd yesterday.
Edit: In any case, you should consider calling a Sprint store today and asking if they can reserve one for you. I honestly doubt they will sell out on day one. If they do I am sure you could get it at Radio Shack or Best Buy on day one. This isn't the iPhone, there will not be lines around the block.
Do you think we should call the Sprint Store to make sure we are all good for tomorrow? I assume since we recieved the emails we are all bueno?

If you have the email and confirmation number, I wouldn't sweat it.
It appears to be an ID-10-T error
So, I just got a nice email from HTC telling me that "because I'm an early HTC enthusiast" I get a free HTC case and free shipping when preordering and entering the code provided in the email. Problem is, I already preordered the phone along with the flip case. Has anyone else gotten this email? Also, what would be the chances that HTC refunds me the case and shipping costs if I call them? I already called them once as my order required me to do so.
Thanks
You should always try. And if they adamantly won't let you, I suppose someone lurking the forums might love you forever for 'giving' them a free case and free shipping.
Call and say you forgot about the code and please apply it now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
who\what number to call ?
I got the same offer emailed to me 1 minute after I pre-ordered. Let me know what you find out. I'm wondering if I need to call them to get my free shipping and case or if they'll just figure it out, because the offer email was clearly generated by the pre-order.
The code works with orders from HTC which letstalk is handling. So if you pre-ordered from your carrier than no go for the promo.

I just called the number that was on the confirmation email. After a 10 minute hold I was told that they have had a lot of calls for this issue and are trying to figure out how to get the case in without cancelling as the hold for the full amount is already on the card. They are manually noting down orders and once Corporate tells them how to add to order they will modify and you will get an email confirming the change in order.

Well, after being on hold for 25 minutes, I was told I need to cancel my order and place a new one using the coupon code. I decided not to as I don't want to risk losing my preorder that has already gone through.

Yeah, same. I probably wouldn't use the case anyways. I like my phones naked. I might call them after I've received the phone if the case doesn't show up with it.
I emailed HTC about the fact that I had already placed my order before HTC sent out the promotion for the free case and got a response that basically said HTC Doesn't make the cases and I should contact my carrier... *sigh*
Dear
Thanks for contacting HTC Technical Support Center!
I am glad to know you are closer to get your HTC One! Getting the case would be a great way of taking care of your device. I will be more than happy to help you with this matter.
HTC does not manufacture or sell any aftermarket components, accessories, or batteries for our devices. They are manufactured and distributed by third party companies for use with HTC devices. They are sold either by the carrier that has the specific device or from a third party official reseller of HTC branded products and accessories.
My advise right now is to contact your carrier about this great promotion, they will let you know if it is possible (or not) to apply the coupon to the pre-order you made earlier today.
I look forward to providing you with any additional assistance if required.
Thanks for your continuous support of our products and services, Chris. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us through http://www.htc.com/us/support/email-support or call us at +1-866-449-8358 from 8 am to 1am, 7 days a week.
Thank you for being a member of our HTC community and I wish you a good day!

I have an extra code from HTC if someone needs it... PM me, first come, first served!
Edit: GONE
If anyone else has an extra free case coupon code they don't need I would love to have it
Thanks!
I open my email and it says "All promo codes have been claimed." HTC fails again.
If anybody wants a coupon code to pre-order via shopamerica.htc.com and will use it, please send me a PM. I won't be buying from the HTC store, so I have no need for mine.
EDIT: Taken!
Called back to apply the code. Rep said they couldn't but offered to waive the overnight shipping charge. Works for me. Have a code unused if someone wants it, PM me.

Had to cancel and re order to get the case so ended up changing from 64 to 32 GB.
Also, after placing your order make sure you click on check the order status link as soon as the confirmation email comes in. Mine showed that I had to call in for the order to proceed and this only showed after clicking on the link. Email did not mention nor a follow up email was sent to indicate customer contact is needed to proceed.
Anyone called in to get the standard shipping fee waved? My checkout won't wave the feed but gave me the free case.

I did. I had selected 2 day shipping because my code didn't supply free shipping. After 45 minutes on hold I confirmed my order and mentioned that the code didn't work for shipping. Ended up getting overnight shipping for free.

My shopping cart page shows charges for the case and the shipping? Is that how it looked to you and then when you actually checked-out the case turned out to be free, or should I already be seeing the charges removed at this point?
Hi
Just had the following from EE:
---------------
Dear EE Customer,
Thank you for applying for your free Sony SmartWatch 2 as part of the Sony Xperia Z1 promotion. To be eligible for this free reward you are required to have pre-ordered the Sony Xperia Z1 between the 1st September 2013 and 20th September 2013 on EE.
Unfortunately, your details do not meet the pre-order requirements during the designated period. If this is an error and you did pre-order your Sony Xperia Z1, please email us at [email protected] with all of the following information:
1 proof or your pre-order being between 1st September and 20th September 2013 e.g. receipt or email order confirmation
2 telephone number
3 IMEI number
4 the address the phone/EE contract is registered to
Please allow up to 10 working days for a response to your email.
Kind Regards,
The EE and Sony teams
--------------------
And my response:
This is getting ridiculous. My Z1 was pre-ordered on around 13th Sept. I have already made the claim, then at your request, I sent you a copy of the delivery note. This smells like yet another delay tactic.
1) I have attached the invoice once to this email (again)
2) Telephone No is xxxxxxxxxxx
3) IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
4) Billing addr: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please sort this out ASAP, I am getting a very sour taste over this whole affair. If EE offers me something for free to tempt me into signing up for a contract, then I expect a timely fulfilment of what I was offered. Not any old excuse to get out of honouring the deal.
--------------------------------
Very peeved with the cheeky blighter's at EE ...
Nigel
Eh, dunno what has been going on before but aren't you overreacting? They say 'if this is in error please provide us with" so why don't give em the benefit of the doubt and assume that after providing that data it will be fine?
I would be very annoyed by the 'please allow 10 working days for a reply to your mail' though, that's just pretty awful.

I'd tend to agree with the overreacting part except in reading the OP's response to EE it appears they'd provided this information already and EE is acting as if this was the first communication. Sounds like EE is very unorganized.
Agreed
Fact is they never bothered to respond to two previous emails asking what the delay was, and when I got through on the phone, they asked that I scan/email receipt as this would speed things up. Did this, heard nothing. Then tried to phone them, discovered they are no longer taking phone calls and was told to email prev address instead via recorded message. I know from prev 2 emails that they don't bother to respond to emails sent to this address. Then, this morning, I received the email in the OP.
I reckon I am perfectly entitled to be pished off with them!

I got a notification around the 9th/10th apologising for the delay and that my watch will be dispatched soon. Then i got a text on friday from dhl to say it's on it's way. and monday lunch time they delivered it.
Got the same email. Sent them my details however I no longer have any order confirmation emails about my Z1. Let's see what happens...

Yup, you sure are ( I just didn't really get that from the first post). But sounds like terrible customer service, unfortunately happens too often still. Hope it'll work out in the end!
I'm trying to register my devices (s8 & S8+) for the Samsung Promotions but I keep getting IMEI or Mac-Address not found... I have tmobile phones, anyone else have success in registering their phones?
Might have to wait until Friday which is technically the release date. The Lg promotions for the g6 had the same issue.
Yeah mine isn't working either. I'll wait until Friday or Saturday and try again.
Got mine done with no issues but when I hit the order button for the vr, headphones and sdcard it said my cart was empty. Called samsung via home phone and on hold for 25 minutes. She said she would straighten it out, got a call back in 15 minutes and she took my credit card information via phone, received an email stating the order went through. Asked her when she thought they would ship and she said after the 20th.
I would highly recommend doing it from the phone rather than their web site. Mine went through okay but I wanted the headphones bundle. Even though I had that selected, it processed it as vr only it looks like. Still stuck waiting for them on the phone.
wtf.. You may want to check your email. I tried and kept getting errors. I wanted to pay the extra $99. I get an email that says my submission was approved. It was approved for just the headset. On the website it wouldn't take my im/wifi mac on Samsung pay it kept saying socket errors. Somehow it went through for the just the headset. I'm on the phone now...
no issues registering for, and then ordering, the full immersion package through the Shop Samsung app. Just got the confirmation email that my order is being processed and I will get another email when it ships via 2-day air. One strange quirk, though... after I initially registered for the $99 promo option, I got an email saying that they had received my promo request and it could take up to 2 weeks to be processed, at which time I would receive another email with next steps on how to complete the order. That was yesterday. Today, I went back into the Shop Samsung app and saw the order option in the promo tab and it worked like a charm.
What are you all using for proof of purchase in the shop samsung app?
I thought this promotion was supposed to be free! What's this $99 all about?!

$99 is for getting AKG headphone and 256GB MicroSD card which apparently have a combined retail value of $300-$400 something. Also this is in addition to the VR bundle you anyways get for free
Submitted through app, said I was under review, just checked through the website and it says approved.
Mine is worked fine. I used samsung shop app
The app says I've been approved but no where does it give me the option to buy it.

Also had success in the samsung shop app after a failed attempt on the website.
I really wish they'd do this kind of promotions in europe...
Applied 30 minutes ago, went with the upgraded package, did it on the comp, instant approval, went to click the buy button, and the page didn't load with no way to get back to it. 10 minutes later I get an email confirming the approval and a link to buy the upgraded package. Clicked the link and it added it to my cart. Interesting thing is it seems that you can order more than 1 (or at least change the quantity), only ordered 1 though so don't know if you can actually get more. Checked out and got an order confirmation. Says it's expected to ship in 2-3 days with expedited shipping.
Someone who doesn't want their vr? In Europe we get nothing
Thanks dude didn't, thing about ordering threw the app. I did the first part on the website and thought I would have to wait the two weeks for the immersive bundle. Props
