Well no, other site`s etc are just bundling a phone and a contract together and are sim free.
Expansys can be so overpriced. It's a very offputting website.

Better deal than what orange are supposed to be offering. other sites are putting there prices up already
But i do understand what you mean.
It's in-stock on the UK website, but the USA website is awaiting shipment next week around the 12th or 13th from the UK wharehouse.
I pre-ordered mine from the USA website today.
Hi!
I telephoned Expansys at 2.30pm today, UK time, and they said NOT in stock, expected tomorrow.
So I bought from Clove, delivery tomorrow
Ofiaich
I would rather get it from CPW or Play.
Phoned CPW today whilst at work. They said it's not even loaded on their system.
Although it was obvious, when I raised the prospect of upgrading through them but them getting the Touch HD from their mobiles.co.uk partner, they said no.

Thanks for that as this saves me a call.
It's in their new catalogue for November, so hopefully soon.
I ordered mine from Clove, UK. I live in the US. They shipped mine yesterday and It already came to the US and got stuck in the Customs for clearance. I was hoping to get it today... But I guess I will not get it until Monday or Tuesday now....
I HATE this waiting... so close, yet not in hand.
I received a email comfirming from expansys that they have shipped my Touch HD, looking at the tracking status I will be receving this early morning tomorrow...... Man can't wait any longer it been month since I pre-order my touch HD
Too happy!!!
Did you guys notice?? Yesterday Expansys and a few more webstores upped the price of the HD!!! Bastards...
They did the same when the Touch Pro got out.
Need another source
Okay yesterday I attempted an order from Expansys. Now on the website it looked as if they had more then enough in stock. After placing my order and validating credit card shipping stuff, I found out from their customer service that most of the first shipment went to back orders. So now I'm stuck waiting for the next shipment which can be from Friday til another week or two.
So I ask....Where can I order this device from and plan to get it by this Saturday ... MN USA? Again, If I was to order it right now somewhere ... where would it be that will gurantee arrival before this weekend?
Please Help
Bump.........
Mine was suppose to be here today but Fedex decided not to honor the next day air I paid for. Should be here tomorrow
This is just a warning to others thinking about using MobilePhonesDirect, They may seem cheap but they are pretty useless.
I pre-ordered my new HD2 from MobilePhonesDriect last over a week ago. They promised that they would have stock ready for dispatch on 12th Nov for delivery via Royal Mail special delivery before 1pm on 13th.
I ordered:
HTC HD2
18 Month @ £25pm
200mins, 200txt, unlim data.
Handset = £132
So I took the day off work today to wait around for it. Did it show? No of course it didn't
Now I look at their website and it says they have the HD2 in stock and if you order before 3pm you can get next day delivery. Also the handset price has gone down from £132 to £107 and they are throwing in a free 2GB micro SD card.
Hopefully I'll be able to cancel my pre-order and just reorder at the cheaper price. What is the point of taking pre-orders if you can't supply the customers. They'd even sent me a mail earlier in the week saying they had easily enough stock to supply all pre-orders.
Of course their customer service team isn't answering the phone and also not responding to emails. I feel very let down by this bunch of clowns. I was hoping to be playing with my new phone all weekend. Now I just have to be content with watching all the other people's videos on YouTube who did get theirs on time.
I actually recieved my hd2 from them today, but have to agree, their customer service is appalling.

You're one of the lucky ones.
I wouldn't particularly mind but they basically lied to me. I figured it would be just my luck not to catch the post today and maybe have to wait til monday. But they specifically said they had enough stock to fill all their pre-orders but after that other would probably have to wait til mid Dec for their phones.
That's why I pre-ordered.
Now they're saying they've got loads in stock and put the price down
Did you get a free 2GB card with yours?
What plan did you go for?
I had a 2 gb card, leather pouch on the combi 30 web n walk 18 month contract, free phone.
OK, so they must have heard me ranting.
I just got an email at 7pm on a Friday night saying that my phone has been dispatched. Fat lot of good that'll do me as they won't deliver on a Saturday so it'll be Monday when I get it but Tuesday before I can pick it up from the depot. I should have just held on and bought it today for the cheaper price. Grrrrr
Right, rant over, sorry folks.
Moral of the story. Be wary of promises that sound too good to be true.

Wow you did ok so was the 2gb and pouch expected or complete surprise?
Chimp - i'm in the same boat as you, I was also looking forward to playing with the phone but now will be watching others play with theirs...sad LOL.
I'm sure their is more to life then this.
Well, at least you have got your email. I got all excited when I had the in stock, deliver Friday or monday message. Couldn't get reponse by email or phone, shame I have people with me Sunday for the day and if they saw and tried it i reckon MFD would have seen a couple of orders.
No email saying despatched for me so I can only hope they will still be packing/posting tomorrow and there's still a chance for Monday.
As a matter of interest what's happened to your status on the site now you have had your despatched email?
It just says 'Status - Complete'.
I got this in an email at 18:52 13/11/19
Dear Mr Matt Johnson
Thank you for placing your order with Mobile Phones Direct.

Royal Mail do Special Delivery on Saturdays, don't they?
I think in this thread or a MPD one in the Leo forum it was said that in some areas the Post Office delivers on a Saturday but it's a bit hit and miss as to where - technically it's next "working day" and that normally means Monday to Friday.
They do but for a £2.50 additional charge. I doubt that MFD are going to shell out for that considering they only charged £3 P+P and the cheapest Special delivery charge is £4.95
My understanding is that they deliver Special Delivery on Saturday, its just not guaranteed unless you pay the extra, so more often than not a package will arrive on Saturday. But I'm probably wrong!
Well I won't hold my breath (but I will be crossing my fingers in hope)
Man, I need to get out more

Your not on your own mate, there are loads of us. Check out the other thread in this section of the forum.... Loads of us.
Yep, I should get out more, and will once I can take my HD2 with me. :
10.04pm I received the "Your order has been dispatched message".
Peace now reigns.
Worde case is that it goes into the post tomorrow for monday delivery but I am holding out for their having got it in the post earlier but only updated the computer system late and there might be a slim chance for tomorrow. (The odds are better for that than they are for me to win the lottery).
At least they had their stock on the 12th - I have read some suppliers missed out and it's no chance for a phone before Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

That's another way to see what a mess of a company MPD is, you pre ordered a week ago and got despatched today but what me that ordered 16 of Oct so as every body can see they have a big mess
I can confirm 100%.
Hopefully it will (eventally) arrive ok and I'll never have to deal with them again. I go out of my way to avoid companies that provide such a pathetic level of "service". Had I known what an utter failure their part in this would have been, I would have waitied for someone else to have a T-Mo contract available for it.
Can't wait to see the last of these jokers.
can i play devils advocate?
Sometimes.. you will end up with a few delays but patience is the key here - and if it doesnt arrive on Monday then I would complain.. But in the meantime I wouldnt slag them off too harshly - its a pretty awesome phone so they will have had a busy few days.
Although you do have a point about the price dropping within the space of a week that certainly would get my goat.
i too have to wait till Monday for mine! worth the wait I hope.
I spoke to MobilePhonesDirect yesterday and was told that they had had a few problems with their system, owing to high demand.
Whether you believe this or not is up to you!
Where I live most parcels sent via special delivery on a Friday WILL arrive the next day, they just cannot guarantee it....and the assistant said it could well come tomorrow.
I ordered mine on Tuesday on the T-Mobile Combi 30 plan, 18 month.
As it happens I already have an HD2 anyway: It's a beautiful device, but to be honest I'm terribly disappointed with the keyboard, and being as typing is crucial to me as a textaholic I'm hoping that HTC will release an updated keyboard that behaves as well as that on the Hero.....for me this one just won't do, and i've been testing out some alternatives......but that's another story!
Updates: Clove, Unlocked-mobiles, mobiles.co.uk have all started shipping orders. Handtec are expected to by the end of the week. Expansys have 14 in stock. Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse seem to have stock in stores.
Has anyone pre-ordered this phone yet? The prices for the 8gb model are currently:
play.com: £449.99 - due on 19/06

http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim...s-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone-p-60773.html
expansys: £479.99 (408.50 ex VAT) - IN STOCK (31 as of now)

handtec also have the 16gb version for £528.74 (£449.99 ex VAT), but see below.

mobiles.co.uk: various deals with a Vodafone contract (usually ends up costing around £480-£600 over the length of the contract)
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/vodafone-samsung-galaxy-s.html
Thanks to Archius for the handtech and clove suggestions, and jasonfreeman27 for mobiles.co.uk
Archius also pointed out this US site:
auroracell: $500 no shipping date yet
http://www.auroracell.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-8gb.html
It's a good price, but does not take account of shipping, and tax could be expensive. Bear these things in mind if you are going to buy from them.
On contract, Vodafone will have the 16gb model, and all these prices are for the 8gb (except expansys).
***UPDATED DATES AND EMAILS***
OK, dates have been changing like crazy, and I have tried to keep up. The latest info (as of Monday 14th):
-------------------------------------
Unlocked mobiles (email thanks to Ferdimage)
-------------------------------------
Dear Customer
Just to advise, all Samsung i9000 Galaxy S orders will begin shipping tomorrow. All pre-orders will be
fulfilled and shipped by close of day on Wednesday.
Our stock is the 8GB version. If you require additional memory, we have a high quality 8GB Sandisk
Micro SD available for 22.40 inc Vat (saving 10%).

Thank you all for your pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S from Unlocked Mobiles.
Should you have any further questions please advise.
Regards
Unlocked Mobiles
-------------------------------------
Clove (emails thanks to Beards)
-------------------------------------
Part I:
We were told last week that the shipment would take place on the W/C 21st
Some distributors still believe they will get the shipment this week, but I think this is simply that the sales guys have not been updated.
I have a call in to Samsung to try and establish the exact date and whether any shipment will reach Carphone before the channel - I would be surprised
Lets await their reply later this morning.
Shipment delays on launch are always frustrating, but also very common.
However the more I see of the i9000 the more impressed I am!
Regards
Chris Love
Clove Technology
Part II:
I have just spoken to Samsung and they now do think they will get stock out later this week.
I have asked if all distribution will get stock (we have orders with all of them anyway!) and when the expect it actually to land in the warehouses.
They have confirmed that Carphone DO NOT yet have stock.

Chris Love

-------------------------------------
Thanks for your email,
With regards to [the 16gb version] we are still awaiting full confirmation of this however upon the release day we would contact you regarding this, you may wish to take an 8GB model with an 8GB card, or alternatively downgrade to a 8gb version?
Please advise,
Kind regards.
30/05: Just spotted this thread over at modaco: http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-s-s-modaco-com/309557/prices/ No new UK info, but it does have some German pricing.
31/05: Added auroracell and edited post to make it easier to read. Removed paragraph about why I am preordering.
09/06: edited all the new dates in
14/06: added all the emails
Thanks for unlocked-mobiles.com I haven't seen that website before. For international (canada) it's very cheap.
There is also clove.co.uk which has it for a good price.
I will be pre-ordering probably.. and most probably this week.
I will maybe use unlocked-mobiles to order, however I heard that Royal Mail is not the best service to use.
In my opinion the Galaxy i9000's ROM is nearly full featured. Root will definitely help but it seems already great, and it's one of the reasons I will be choosing this over other phones. Also the good large screen that is good against the sun's reflection.
Edit: Actually it seems complicated to order internationally with unlocked-mobiles. I'll stick to expansys.ca or clove.

Just to let you know that I have never used them before, so don't know how reliable/etc they are. As I say, I emailed them last night and they got back to me before noon today, so at least their customer service is pretty good.
For me it is easy to recommend Chris Love's Clove Technology.
I've known Chris for the best part of 20yrs and have never come across any other seller who is committed so highly to his customer base.
Clove are a reliable Family run business where they extend their family approach out to their customers.
They may not be the cheapest but you can guarantee if your phone develops a problem you can easily turn to Clove.
I heard also that Clove has great customer service and very reliable even for international shipping.
I've pre-ordered mine on www.mobiles.co.uk/vodafone-samsung-galaxy-s.html. Picked a £15 contract on Vodafone with £229 down payment. Unlocked of course. They are quoting stock for June 4th, as I ordered mine about 5 mins after they put up the pre-order I hope to be on the first batch

Awesome! I would love to get one as early as that! I have been waiting since it was announced, and I am so impatient...
I am put off Vodafone as their "unlimited" internet is 500mb/month, while t-mobile is 1gb (does anyone know if they will give 3gb if you tell them you are using an android device, even if they don't sell it to you? They have a 3gb allowance for android in their fair usage policy)
Do mobiles.co.uk sell unlocked phones? That would be neat, because I hate branding and the apps that the networks install. Hence why I am favouring unlocked (sim-free) phones now rather than waiting for the contracts to be announced.
Yep, all their mobiles are unbranded and unlocked. Am not too worried about the internet allowance, I tend to do the big stuff within WiFi range. But I think those caps will have to grow as more people start using android phones.
I'm so jealous right now even though i got a nexus one this phone is amazing i really hope T-mobile USA gets this.

I read somewhere that Samsung are releasing a T959-or similar which is a Galaxy S without the i9000 label. Usually the Samsung Txxx phones are T-mobile USA, apparently. So it's looking good for a T-mobile release over there.
Rumours are that all your 4 (?) major carriers are getting it. I hope something similar happens here: Nothing like good competition to bring prices down...

Strangely enough I contacted Chris Love of Clove only this morning to query the UK release, given what we heard yesterday at the Singapore Live Show where Singapore will be getting the phone first on the 5th June.
Chris came back to me and told me they had JUST received confirmation from Samsung tht a revised date is now as of and I quote from Chris ~ "We have now been given a shipment date of WK23 (W/C 7th June)".

Clove are now emailing all people who pre-ordered asking them to confirm they still want to go ahead.
All you need to do is either ring them or click on the email link they will send you.
Good news!
but is the price set yet ?
It's still on the estimated price, I believe.
It is set at £385 + VAT where applicable.
He did email me this morning from clove because I had asked a question and he said it is still an estimated price, because I wanted to pricematch with handtec since it is 20 less. I'll buy from handtec then since both will be sold during June 7 week and it is cheaper and offers fedex shipping 2-4 days (to canada)
I feel compelled to share my experience of dealing with Expansys UK for ordering the Galaxy S2.
Its really been a very disappointing level of service, for anyone thinking of ordering from them then bare in mind that I ordered my phone on the 8th May when it was listed as in stock. A day or two later when I checked on order tracking it reported 11 days till stock. Over the course of the last 22 days their site has listed it in stock on a number of occasions and my tracked order status has changed repeatedly. Now I understand there is stock issues on the unit but be warned that Expansys 'stock' levels are misleading. I subsequently emailed them for an update which they failed to respond too, so today I called them for an update only to be told that even though I had ordered from the UK site that my order had been transferred to Australia (where I live) and that I must call that office for an update. So despite my intention of getting it early from the UK it appears Expansys is playing games with my order. I have now decided to cancel my order as I don't want to give this company my money. Let's see if Handtec can provide better customer service! Really terrible experience with dealing with Expansys, please consider carefully if intending to hand over your money to them.
Really terrible experience with dealing with Expansys, please consider carefully if intending to hand over your money to them.

i preordered from expansys uk 19 march. still waiting. they dont reply to emails. expected date on order has been jumping up and down. website has said instock 100+ a couple of times and has now for the past 2 days (very misleading since even if its a bug, surely it should be fixed by now?!?)

it is so annoying - especially with so many ohers getting theres form various places (including expansys us who are supplying polish uk models or whatever it is). i chose expansys for my preorder as id had good experiences before with devices/accessories. been very dissapointed with this purchase though. website has said 100+ instock for 3 days now
im looking to pick one up tomorrow. Whats the best website to order from for Canada???
Also, not to sound like a cheap ass but there was some discount codes to enter and i cant find them anymore.
Im just very carefull with ordering stuff online. Any help is appreciated.
We bought my wife a Desire S from Expansys last month. It arrived DOA. Instead of telling us they would take care of it, we were told to send it back to them and THEY would decide if it would be replaced or sent to HTC for repairs depending on the state of the packaging.
This makes me nervous, it sounds like they would only replace it if they could resell the defective unit. The box also contained an extra unused security seal for the packaging, which is strange. Why would HTC provide you with a way to make it appear the box had never been opened?
We decided we would be better off to deal with HTC directly rather than send it back to Expansys and have them decide what would be in our best interest. 6 weeks later and it is in for a second round of repairs and my wife has yet to have a full days use of the phone.
This is why Expansys didn't get more order a couple weeks later when the SGS II came out. I'll never buy anything from them again.
this is definitely worrying. I dont think expanys is getting my cash. The thing that bugs me the most is places saying they have stock and yet it takes a month to get your phone.
Handtec looks promising. Is this phone still selling out or can i comfortably order and the phone will be in stock ??
I ordered from Expansys Canada on Friday, and so far they haven't given me a reason to not like them. My order shipped within 8 hours of me ordering, and Fedex says it will be here by 5pm today, which I kind of doubt since the status is still at "Shipping info sent to Fedex". I ordered when there was 44 In Stock.
Funnily enough though, when I look at my order status and click on the link to look at the phone, it says it's not available anymore, but the phone is there with a different link. Just thought that was odd.
can anybody confirm handtec has stock available? I checked the website and it says yes but you can never be sure...
I ordered a while ago from Clove. The day after I ordered I noticed the site said they were out of stock. I started to cancel my order to order from Handtec and then noticed they were out of stock as well. Went back to Clove to cancel my cancel request, they asked me if my order was urgent, I told them it was and they shipped it right away.. Guess they had a few in reserve. Anyway my point is Clove has been great to me, very professional and courteous even when I was wanting to cancel my order.

I've never actually ordered from them, but every time I try to get info from them they are "not the most customer service oriented". You have to give them credit for selling to pretty much the whole world though! I'm surprised there are none in Australia yet. Taiwan's Launch date is June 1.
Just to act as a counter-weight in this thread I thought I would post my experiences with Expansys...
Pre-ordered the SGSII early and got it delivered the 5th of May. They answered all my e-mails promptly and I had no issues with payment or anything else.
Have used them a couple of times before and never had any issues then either.
I ordered one from Expansys USA on Thursday with overnight shipping and received it Friday. I paid with my Paypal account and Paypal wouldn't let me apply the coupon that is available so my charge was $25 higher than it should have been. Within 20 minutes of ordering Expansys refunded the $25 without me having to contact customer service. I was pretty impressed with their service as a first time customer.

expansysy ain that good, unless u go to their hq i believe was in manchester?
I ordered from Expansys.ca this past Tuesday night (around 11pm) and the phone was in my hands on Friday 3 days later. I had no problems with them. In fact, I gave them my wrong expiry date and someone from customer service contacted me and I was able to fix it early Wednesday morning.
Everyone will have different experiences. Especially since Expansys is worldwide. Different areas may have different issues
I can only speak from my experience with Expansys US. I had no issues what-so-ever. The communication was great, and shipping was spot on. They were everything I require in a seller. I imagine if I needed to return the device it would be the same experience.
Sent them a couple simple questions via email since ordering a SG2 on Friday. No contact since then. Horrible customer service. Sent a cancellation email for my order a couple minutes ago and I expect a full refund. I'll follow up in the morning. I understand it's a holiday weekend but this is unacceptable.
You realize their office hours are Monday-Friday 8-6pm right? Why would they respond if they are off for the weekend, especially on a holiday. You have no reason to be angry at them.
Expansys USA has been great as far as my order for the GSII went. I ordered on the 16th, shipped on the 24th and got it on 26th. No issues at all.
I ordered one. Helpful staff. Came in 7 days of shipping.

Looks too good to be true...
where are you located.. That company is only 600 miles or so from me maybe less. I will give them a call if they still have them mid week..
thanks for the link..
Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.

The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...
For those who aren't inclined to click....

"I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. My experience with PCPARTSOHIO.COM was VERY pleasant. They returned my emails in under 24 hours of working business days. NO COMPLAINTS. I have full faith in ordering from this company. Reason being; I ordered an ACER A500 TABLET 16GB from their site. I was skeptical, but said what the heck. I'll risk my $234.99 shipped strait to my door. This was the BEST and CHEAPEST price on the ENTIRE INTERNET after I scoured www.shopwiki.com www.aliexpress.com www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and MANNNNNYYYY other sites. I emailed the company about refund and return policies in case of DOA or other problems. I was politely informed that they have a 90 day return policy. Excellent! I was so anxious to put my order through; I never waited for a response regarding these questions. They responded promptly @10:30am on the following Monday (order placed on Saturday). Informing me I would receive a tracking # when my package shipped in 2-7 business days from UPS. I was also informed that they work with liquidations that’s why it may be delayed to ship. I said that was fine and eagerly awaited the email. I never received (to my knowledge) a tracking email. I may have missed it since I receive multiple emails an hour, and never clean my inbox. All in all, I WILL do business with them again. Soon, in fact. I will be ordering my wife a tablet as well. They are great. I was also informed that it may arrive with a scratch or two from shipping process, although there were NONE!!! The package arrived exactly 7 days from the day my card was charged (Monday). Everything worked right out of the box. There was no original packaging, which I was well aware of. One Charger, One Tablet. One ecstatic man. I am super pleased with www.pcpartsohio.com

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00.
*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*
Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..
again Thanks
Thats a steel of a deal right there
Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......
UPS Ground -- $35
UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55
UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69
UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49
My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.

No problem! I love to help! Especially when it deters people from Ipad/Iphone/Ipod... not flaming them I am just pro-open source. The fact that Apple will electronically murder your phone if they find out you jailbreak..... reminds me of the southpark episode "Humancentipad"..... sorry I had to bring that up >.< so gross.... like apple... *cough*.... again this is just an opinion so nobody get disgruntled please. ^_^
Oh yeah i'm not a BB fan either except for test runs! It's awesome to have everything you can get online for half as much right at your fingertips for pre-purchase testing!

Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two...
~Much love to the community.
Just ordered one for a friend. Total with plain ole ground shipping, $244.99! Thanks for the heads up.

seems like a smooth transaction there, how do you confirm order and secure your money if something goes wrong?

I got mine for $199 + $35 shipping from them. Im pleased with it and it was in perfect shape. They reported it as new open box but was actually a refurbished one. That being said it was a great tablet @ a great price. Get one while you can.

Great find! This is cheaper than I've been buying them off of Craig's List!
I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.
Here is the definition they gave:
"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."
I sent their support an email. Don't think I will order from there until they explain this.
very low rating....
resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.
There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.
My dad and I just ordered a pair from here. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Woot Buy
Got my Acer Iconia a500 from the woot website. I bought a 32gb refurbished a500 with wifi (standard with 90 day Acer warranty) and I received it in about a week and a half. It cost me 300 plus 5 dollars shipping and it has been working great so far. Love the forums by the way, very helpful (first time poster here).
