Did anyone order from handtec.co.uk ?
Is it shipped ?
Their site says that will have a batch in today.
Edit : just called them and its delayed till tomorrow
Edit : Nov 1 - Order shipped. Delivery Nov 2.
Does not surprise me in the least.
Handtek are reknown for advertising a product way in advance giving false information just to get customers to pre-order and take their money.
Then come the day they mysteriously don't have stock.
Look at their site on the 32GB version. They are taking pre-orders at just over £700 a phone and taking the money now........ As we know there's no sign when and if the 32GB model will be shipped.
Wow thats bad can do something

Not a thing... Because Samsung said there would be a 32GB version at some stage sellers can advertise it if they want. However it's all a question of who do you help.. yourself or your customers.
I clearly remember when the Galaxy S was being advertised by Samsung that it would be available in both 8GB and 16GB models.
Clove and Handtek soon started advertising both models for pre-sales taking monies.
However it soon became clear the larger 16GB model was going to carriers only.
Clove then stopped advertising the 16GB model but Handtek carried on.
I contacted Handtek informing them that no SIM FREE 16GB model would be coming to them...
This though did not stop them carrying on taking pre-orders and money for a phone they would not get.
In the end all those who had pre-ordered the 16GB model were instead offered the smaller 8GB.
Basically, Handtek are a business and businesses have to operate tight in order to keep them afloat. It's how they effect customers though which should be their priority.

If you have ordered the 16GB model you should get your order... Just not exactly on the day they 'originally' promised you.

They claimed to get stock 31st October.
Clove said 3rd Nov.
I went with Handtec on that basis.
Of course I will get it.
Just supicious of the ever changing dates.
Stock Update: First batch expected 1st November - second batch 3rd/4th November. The first batch should fulfill approx 70% of backorders and the second batch still has stock available

I ordered from Handtek too. Excitement has turned to anxiousness. This is certainly not a nice development.
As I have said elsewhere, I notice on the 'microsite' samsung set up for it, the 32GB model is not listed in the specifications.

As I have already said Guys, it's all a ploy to get you to order with them early.
Handtek do this time after time after time.... They will tell you an early date so as to get you to pre-order and part with your hard earned cash then come the day of shipment it's then mysteriously been put back for some reason not of their doing.
At worse is when they advertise a product and take pre-orders with payment for goods that simply there is no known date, sometimes these products will not even make it to their stores. Take a look at their advertisement of the Galaxy Note 32GB model here. You will notice they are taking pre-orders but we are not even sure yet the 32GB will come to SIM FREE.
Clove on the other hand are being honest... They have no idea either but unlike Handtek they don't advertise nor take pre-orders or cash.
I will say they will ship orders on the same day that Clove ship.

It's all a question of timing....
If a product has an unknown date or a date that is weeks away then yes, a pre-order with funds debited from credit cards should not take place.
If however a product has a known date that falls within a week or so then yes a pre-order with funds debited is to be expected from sellers who take orders in mass block.
The reason why they take funds prior to shipment is because they need to have your payment record complete. If not and you have not paid they then need to either contact you again or contact your credit card company which all takes time prior to shipment.
When these sellers who deal in mass block (could be a couple of hundred orders) obviously they want to get out as many orders in the day as possible. However, having to recontact the buyer or their credit card company all adds to delays which in turn makes an angry would be customer waiting for his/her order.
So, technically Handtek are doing the right thing in getting all details including payment out of the way.... However, where they then spoil it is by either taking the funds far, far too early or taking funds for items that clearly they will not receive.
Clove on the other hand only advertise when they know an item will be released at some stage and only take funds within nearer the release (I think mine was taken 10 days prior to the Nov 3rd expected date).
Note:
Clove have only recently started to do pre-orders with payment.
They used to only take pre-orders but found new orders these days are much much higher in demand. As such under their old way of operating they simply did not have the time in the day to complete all orders in one day.
It is regrettable yes but at least the pre-order with payment in this case does at the least guarantee the day they receive stock from the wholesalers it gets shipped to the buyer either that very same day or the day after.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit......
I just checked with them in regards to my preorder - they confirmed that they have received a bunch of units, which will be shipped out today. My order was for the cheaper "operator branded" version, which they haven't received yet but are are apparently still expecting sometime later today as well.
Obviously we won't know anything for sure until people start getting their tracking numbers, but I have spoken to them several times and while this is the first order I have placed with them I have been pretty impressed with their professionalism. Didn't like the live chat though - they were kind of useless as far as pre-sales questions go (plus I got cut off several times), so I reverted to just calling and speaking to sales, who have been really helpful.......
Price has dropped. As per handtec:
Please contact customer services at [email protected] with your order no. and they will sort this out for you. thanks
I just got my price difference refund in 15 minutes.
Edit: For clarity, I am referring to the 16GB unbranded non-white version

My order went through on October 26th, and he said today that this was a fairly early order so will be in the first batch - so yours will definitely go out first. If I'd known the price of the standard version was going to drop I probably would have ordered that instead - but I'm sure the operator logo is easily removed (not that it would matter if it wasn't). Just hope these branded units come in quickly.
Please let me know if you hear anything about yours......

Thanks for the info.
Called them again today and was told that they have shipped orders till the OCt 24th.
Mine was on 26th and will be shipped out tomorrow.
I ordered the one with network logo.
Should have ordered the one without. Damn !!!!!!!!!
Even if they ship tomorrow, the chances that i will get before the weekend is bleak.
Frustration, frustration , frustration......

I got that e-mail too.. Really tempted after I cancelled my order
Anyone have FINAL confirmation of UMTS bands on the X1i?
850 3G on there????

This has already been asked over and over and over again. Look at some of the other threads where people got X1's already. For instance Sweden go the X1i earlier this month...
Any advantage with the black over the silver? Will the black have more of a chance to have paint chipping you think?
I almost bought one on eBay. In fact, I clicked to buy it now. They were selling $950 plus $10 shipping. They wouldn't ship the same day [ Friday ] and they won't ship overnight... they even had a 'make offer' option. Any way, I got the phone number and called him. He tells me he is a pilot and purchased a bunch in the UK [ I think he said that ] and said he paid $250 each .. Sounded like a crock - maybe I am wrong - but I have decided to wait for mine to ship. I think it will ship this coming Friday and the unit is silver. I decided on silver because I too didn't like the contrast of the keyboard against the black. Someone said it looked like 2 different phones stuck together .. I sort of agreed, and now I can't get that description out of my head .. BESIDES .. I am like a ferret .. I like shiny silver things !

It could be somewhat possible, I have friends working at airline companies and sometimes manage to get packages intercepted. I mean if he is a pilot he should be somewhat known. Also if there is a delivery going to whatever store via air parcel and it happened to get stolen and he is in on it he may get a cut for the shipment.
All I am saying there is a possibility, I have people who do it all the time.
phones can be signed through IMEI, not a big deal buy a stolen one

Time to throw a wench into your thought process. I was one definitely stickin go the silver but after thinking of the silver and how it looks closed. I was like if it was all silver in front with the buttons silver and not black I would have passed up the black. Now with the black the black is all good and well when it is closed but when it opens up it shows the silver keyboard. Now with that said I tend to use my xperia ...
1. majority of times closed, which is why a 1 toned color on the phone face is great + majority of my gadgets and gears are already black
2. i dont expect to be walking around with my xperia to be open to show off the silver on silver x1i.
With that said ... majority ruled for me also since it was readily available for me to ship.

If I was you, I'd change my friends.
My point was, I seriously doubt you can get an Xperia (legally) anywhere for $250; theonlynickleft's post seems to confirm this.
If it seems to good to be true...

Why do you guys like to buy stolen goods? Its is not right to do so. Imagine the poor guy who is waiting for his X1 to be shipped to later find out it has been stolen and bought buy one of you guys. Do not encourage such practices. If you cannot afford to buy or wait, don't buy it.
I never said I bought anything from them, I like many people here have paid for the xperia with hard earned money. Now, if someone were to talk up to me in the street or post an ad on craigslist saying he is selling an xperia for half price and wants to know if I buy more. If they are real I will not lie, chances are I would have bought it from him knowing there is a high chance there was some crookery involved. But I wouldnt ask how he got it, if they are legit he gets my money.

There is an expansys in the US and I tried to get it from there but they said they a long list to fulfill first. But they do overnight shipping ... but expansys UK have them in stock and do deliver to the us via DHL 2-3 day shipping (that is where I ordered mine from yesterday) and now its en route to the us. I should have mine by tomorrow or day after the latest. But it is up to you, I mean personally I wanted this phone more or less right away, and when I factored in the store that have it in the us plus waiting times I decided to order mine directly from the uk where i am guaranteed to get it friday latest
Trying to figure out the cost. I think it said 584 including VAT << what is VAT, shipping ?? And is that almost $1200 US ?

Guyz, very obvious that the release date will be late and please, read the asterisk for conditions applied: The release date can be changed without notification... So don't blame anyone... HTC only said they will release it by October, which means any date in Oct will still be within the time frame they set... isn't it?

I think you will find that they do not take any money until the phone has been despatched. The price is still not fixed! Thats how Handtec operate so im sure the rest are the same. In anycase, handtec stated first shipment due week commencing 4th October - which does not imply the 4th october.
From what i understand, HTC are shipping but to mobile phone networks first.

Its really not a big deal, it arrives when it arrives. Christ you sound like a child of 8 that has been told Christmas is cancelled. Cool your jets sparky its only a phone. Believe it or not you still be alive, its not going to kill you waiting a few days.
I've pre ordered mine form Amazon and they don't take any money until its shipped. If you have fallen for another retailers tricks then that's really your problem. Play.com are also listing the 11th (they also dont take the money until they ship).
As for your garbage about supplying in 14 days - they cant supply if they don't have the product. YES if you ordered a Desire and it didn't arrive then you may have a point has the product is on the market - the HD and the Z are PRE ORDERS!!!! I've use Amazon for years and i trust them - i ain't trusting no company that "Claims" they will have it early

Show me a link to an "official" HTC press statement claiming the HTC Desire HD would be released on October 6th. Or the 11th. Please - find me one. NOT a review/blog/ethusiast/seller website "claiming" it will be released on October 6th/11th. Show me the "HTC published link" that claims the phone will be released on October 6th.

Handtec took my money as well when I ordered it a week or two ago, however I'm unsure if that has something to do with it being an international order or not. Same has been said from other Australian customers on a different forum I'm on however.
I don't care...the exchange rates been good for us of later and it means I know what I'm paying rather than wondering or stressing about the exchange rate each day.

I believe the 8th is when the global services for the watch are opened so owning one before then won't get you very far anyway.

This was the Cannon Street store, and I have also had the same reply from the Holborn store. Canterbury say they will do it, but I can't get there for another week or so.
I phoned 3 myself and they were useless, because I upgraded in store, they tell me they are unable to provide any clarification.

This "promotion" is a joke. I mean, at NO point when i was upgrading did they say that I had to pre-order both at the same time.
Did you have to pay any fee for the remainder of your contract?
This is from the Three website:
"Only £99 When Bought with LG G3*
*Once you’ve purchased the LG G3, visit one of our stores within 21 days to get the LG G Watch for only £99, which is usually £169 when purchased on its own. You must provide proof of purchase via your dispatch note/receipt with mobile number and ID.
The LG G Watch is available in store from the 8th July, but you can secure yours on pre order from 26th June in store."
It seems pretty clear to me, but apparently I am reading this wrong.

My contract is only 7 days old! They just said return the phone then.
So I then rang again to the online team and they confirmed and apologized that the other staff haven't got a clue what they are talking about. She told me to go in-store from the with with my receipt to claim my watch

well good luck with that. I tried this also, but he was adamant, even with a receipt and proof of what their website he wasnt doing it.
Ive had this problem went in this morning and refused to accept that this offer exists at all which was rather annoying tbh so i told them to ram it ill buy one online.
They also said that this offer was onky for pre orders and that everyone should of known about it at no point has 3 in my town ever advertised this offer or mentioned it when i got my phone ended up having a huge argument with the store manager telling him is useless and a joke then i showed him my tweets from here that i posted between my self and Brendan and he still refused to acknowledge the offer so i gave up.

I just spoke with "Sharon" at three on the phone. She confirmed that the watch should have been pre-ordered at the time i got the phone.
But, she has applied the £70 difference to my account so i can buy the phone at the full price and be no worse off.
My advice, speak with three, tell them whats happened and they should sort it out.
Good luck, took me a 30 minute phone call to get the resolution i deserved!

This is pretty stupid seen as they were not even offering the watch at the time most people pre-ordered!
For Everyone wondering and speculating, I got an email this morning from Dbrand. I ordered the CF skin for the Nexus 6 last week on the 29th. I got a shipping notification email this morning... which was rescinded almost 2 hours later...

So, if the skin was scheduled to be shipped today in order to arrive in 1-2 weeks AND before the device arrives that means that the Nexus 6 was originally supposed to be on everyone's doorstep by the 18th at the latest.
So, I guess it's safe to assume that the N6 won't hit anyone's mailbox before the 18th which totally jibes with the original forecast of the 21st.
I guess the bad news is that if I don't get a shipping notice from Dbrand before Friday the N6 delivery date of the 21st has just hit the bottom of the toilet. That means the N6 won't be on the street until later than that.
Using the info I have this means that no one is getting their phone before the 21st.
Does this sound right?
I wonder what lead you to believe a tiny skin company have supplier and inventory secrets on the Nexus 6.
What the hell does this have anything to do with Google shipping out Nexus 6's?
Click bait..

Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh this morning.
(If it isn't clear, these companies have absolutely no idea when the Nexus 6 will be here and it's downright silly to think that they would have that kind of information.)
Why are you guys flaming the OP? I think it's naive to think these companies don't know the details. They probably have pre-production models to use to develop their products. They also know when the product their accessory is made for will be released. How else will they know when to ramp up production, release dates for their product, etc.? They probably have NDA's in place with Google.

Exactly. They have already shown they have an Nexus 6 in their possession.
However it does seem iffy because the said company is very small.
Hey I was just putting in my two cents.
Besides that the thing that made me suspect that they may know the actual release date is that they specifically mentioned that they'd have it delivered to my door before the N6. Why bother to even mention that I'd have it before my phone arrives unless you knew when it would ship?
Why would it seem so impossible that a company that makes its living off of another product would know when it would hit the market?
Jesus, you guys get your panties twisted over the dumbest sh it.

The only thing that makes me suspicious about this is their delivery window. How can they possibly tell you that it'll get there before your nexus when they deliver in 7-14 days? 7 days is a pretty big window when deliveries are concerned.
According to the lunar positioning measured tied with the spectral decay of the rotational veleodensity of the earth's magnetic forces, the Nexus 6.....OH GOD TJERE'S A NEXUS 6 BEHIND YOU

Maybe they know that the release date is more than 14 days away. That's my only point.

Maybe, but it seems like a stretch. It's more likely that they're just going with the ship date that everyone is dreading. Nov 21st. Which just so happens to fit perfectly with your theory.
Man this device got people making up stuff lol
They could ship it today or tomorrow and it would still be here before the Nexus 6. This post makes no sense. They said that I would get it before the N6. Not the day before.
Sent from my One+
1: seeing that Dbrand is a Canadian based company, could they possibly know the Canadian release date and not the American one? so if they did actually have information on release date, they may be referring to one that is weeks after the US launch anyway... so like.. we will get our skins before the Canadians get their N6's lol
2: T-Mobile is still saying they are going to have the N6 on the 12th.

Actually after researching the cognitive data from the spectral decay of the rotational veleodensity of the earths magnetic forces, I found that the sum of the reverse entropy was not added. After analyzing all the new data and figuring in all applicable data the Nexus 6 was neither behind nor in front of him. It was below and above and the the right but not the left of him. But that's neither here nor there because due to the large time lapse its already urinated in his cheerios and secretly placed the "Kick Me" sticker on his back.
So what color is the case you ordered?
Ok, so I pre-ordered the S10+ 128GB Prism Black from Best Buy as a pickup (On Feb 22nd, says it will be ready for pickup March 8), I'm now reading several horror stories as well as past experience being terrible. In a nutshell when I had pre-ordered the S8+ from BB, got an email saying it was ready for pickup, went to the store, I find out they sold my reserved device to somebody else... All in all I was able to pickup the phone from another store the same day. As I was searching around I've found that situation has happened to many more people.
Any insight from someone with past experience doing pre-order pick ups from BB on major release days? Any hiccups or problems along the way you may have faced especially for phones?
More than once I've went through that nightmare at BB. I swore to myself no matter what incentives they offered I'd never pre-order with them again

Yeah, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt one last time, here's hoping they don't screw up my order again...
Just use the shipping option. It's free and you will get it on release day. Best of all you don't have to walk into a BB store!

Lol, I can't, FedEx and UPS don't bother knocking on my door, ever. I'm in an apartment so they just leave the door tag notice at the lobby door and never attempt to look for my name in the dial box.
And if I ever make the choice of going to the FedEx store to pick it up with the door tag, they'll tell me the driver left the package in the truck and they can't get in. I've gotten 3 packages returned because of this. I don't know if I have bad luck, or it's like this for everyone else in Los Angeles.
I'm waiting for my S10+ 1TB/12GB Ceramic Black. Order status still shows "Preparing for Pickup on Friday". They better not give that away, as I'm sure the inventory of the 1TB model will be limited. Does anyone think there's a micro chance of early delivery, or is Best Buy going to sit on them until Friday regardless of when they arrive?

I don't think they'll release them early, either tomorrow or Thursday we should get an email saying it's ready for pickup. Then apparently someone will call us to schedule an appointment for Friday to come in.

I always have stuff shipped to work.
This AM the cancel button is finally gone. Still shows "preparing". It will have to ship today to arrive tomorrow. I've ordered from BB before and this happens. My account gets charged when it ships and even though it gets shipped ground I get it the next day because the point of origin is always within a day range for ground shipping. Of course there's always a risk of exception and this means it wouldn't arrive until Monday.
If it were outside of the one day range (for ground) they'd either have to ship earlier or use a more expensive service to assure delivery by release date.
I was in a BB store (a rarity for me haha!) yesterday and noticed they had the phones on display. Just from the initial impressions it was mostly meh (I have a Note 9 so that bar is higher) but I did play with the camera briefly and it definitely got my attention.

I just got another transaction from BB on my card, $100 tax. Strange because they charged me the same amount already a week ago, maybe the second charge will go away after I pick it up
As far as Best Buy Canada goes, my S10+ pre-order was supposedly lost in transit. Four hours of calling around later, replacement order is in, and will be arriving in around two weeks. Can't say I'm all that happy, but at least it's on the way again.
Finally got the email it shipped around 1800 local time. Fed Ex home delivery from NY. Scheduled delivery Friday by end of day. Talk about waiting until the last minute! :|
My order status has been stuck on "Preparing for Pickup Today" all day. It's now 13:00 on a Friday. Seriously doubt I'll see it today.

same, although I got notified it's ready for pickup an hour and a half after the store opened, was able to pick it up shortly after. Their customer service and order tracking is completely terrible. Next time it's directly from my carrier or Samsung.
I picked up my 2 devices Friday and it was pretty painless. They gave me a gift card for my 2 trade ins which I applied towards the new phones. I did order a blue and prism white but they couldn't find the blue one. They offered to hold one for me when the truck came in but I liked the prism white better anyways so they used an extra white one to give to me.
Process was easy for me.

I preordered the first day in store at Bestbuy. It kept saying up until 6pm on March 8, Preparing for Pickup. At 6pm I get an email saying that it's delayed and if they can't fulfill my order by April 7th they'll cancel it. Ordered S10+ in blue on Verizon. There's posts all over about this happening so many people. Bestbuy shouldn't promise what they can't deliver.
Sunday April 7th?
Sheesh, that's bad.
I've never had issues with getting it shipped from them.
That's what I suggest.
