Hi
SupereTrader.co.uk are the only mail order outfit in the UK that I know of that claim to have stock of the Experia. Expansys & Clove have sold out.
I phoned supertrader on Friday to ensure that they had stock - was informed that they had plenty; I agreed with the bloke that if I bought there and then, and paid their £15.99 Saturday delivery charge (Royal Mail Special Delivery), they would ship it Friday for delivery today.
Anyway, they never bothered to post it. My suspicion is that they never did actually have the device in stock. They have taken the money from my account (including the £15.99) Saturday delivery charge.
I've emailed them to cancel the order - as far as I am concerned they failed to uphold their side of the bargain.
So... for others thinking about buying an Experia, avoid this crowd - its unlikely that they actually have stock.
I checked out their ratings on the price comparison sites - and they appeared to be reasonable... not from my experience. If they could not ship it for Saturday delivery, they should have told me, and I would not have bothered ordering.

Let me tell you one thing superetrader is the best and I got my xperia 2 weeks ago from them and they delivered all the time mine was next day delivery and they delivered I always bought all my fones from them, and they never ever let me down it is the best supplier in the uk or world wise, be patient you cancelled to soon they have the black ones in stock, they just emailed saying they had the black ones but i am happy with my silver one from them,
I got mine from them
very efficent and helpful
next day delivery £507.99 not bad at all
highly recommended
I bought an Eten X500 from them many months ago , paid for Saturday delivery on Friday afternoon and had to take Monday morning off work cause they posted normal next working day service, never replied to my emails and i never got the promised call back from my phone calls
Hi
I suspect my story is the same as csw43's. Maybe it will arrive today, then I just have to get the excess £8 out of them for not sending it Saturday delivery as agreed, and wait until next weekend before I can get to the PO and collect it. They wont get my cancelation request until this morning so if they already posted it, I guess I will (eventually) recieve it.
We shall see.
Nigel
Does the website open?
Its getting redirected to a parked domain.
No such web site as supertrader.co.uk
The company is actually superetrader.co.uk
They mention to have +10 pcs of the xperia. Is this accurate?
Aye, spelt the name wrong - unfortunately, I cant change the title, have corrected the initial post. Phoned them this morning - they still claim to have stock.

Did you receive it?
Hi all
Just a quick note for anyone considering MPD, but scared by bad feedback.
I ordered yesterday (Tuesday) at around 12PM, had an email confirming dispatch around 2PM and the phone arrived today (Wednesday) before 9:30.
I can't knock that!
note: this was on T-mobile
I've bought 1 phone from them, my i900, I sent them a lot of email beforehand to discuss the tarriff which the replied to promptly. They then sent out my phone next day delivery but only sent out 1 car charger when I ordered 2. A couple of days later and without any hassle a second charger arrived.
I think they give a good service
Yeah they dont seem to bad. I ordered sunday and got wednesday. Only gripe is-dont phone their southampton store or the number on their website, bunch of ignorant btards. Call their Reading Nokia store and get them to liase with the 'web team'.
I spoke to a very curteous chap called 'Robin', top bloke
Different experience to you guys
I ordered my phone from them Tuesday after being told via an online chat with them that they had the HD2 in stock only to then discover that stock was pending. I attempted to contact them to find out eta on delivery. Several non returned phone calls and several unanswered (but read) emails I have cancelled.
I personally will never use them again...and I still have not received the phone.

Back to business as usual. I thought the above messages sounded too good to be true. lol.
Hey all, this is for those who had a defect with their first Nexus 4, and had to call Play Support and request a new one.
When you call in, you place the order while on the phone, they e-mail you while on the phone. How many days between that and actually receiving a notice that Google is shipping it out?
I placed a replacement order 4 days ago and have heard nothing since..
Just curious, and also might help others that are curious, thanks!
Considering that 4 days ago was a weekend, and they won't ship anything on weekends + 2-3 Business days to process your order, you will probably get shipping details on the 6th or 7th (could be tomorrow.)
And I don't think the DC knows whether your order was for a replacement or not since you had to order the replacement from the play store, so it might get shuffled behind those that have place orders ahead of you.
I was going to process a replacement (RMA/Shipping Label email is sitting unread in my Inbox); but decided to wait to see if others are experiencing the problem first. To find out its a mass issue or just related to my device.
I placed an order for an RMA unit Thursday night after calling Google and having the RMA link emailed to me. I received an email the following morning with a notice that the replacement phone had shipped and a tracking number was provided. The UPS tracking page just displayed a yellow box that says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
I just checked again and the yellow box with the above message is still there. I'm thinking that the tracking number should have updated information by Friday. Ideally, I'd like to have the new phone by then but at this rate I'll just be happy to have it by this time next week.
I ordered the replacement and received it 5 days later. Unluckily, I got a defected replacement and I have to called CSR again. Ordered 2nd replacement on Dec 2 and still waiting for taking number.
What email did you guys first get? The RMA email?
I placed one today and have only gotten an RMA email, nothing about a new phone being shipped...
They state it will be here 3-5 days, I leave the country saturday so I may be out of luck..

Unfortunately, I'm already expecting the RMA unit to be defective as well. The more I read the more it appears these phones all seem to have at least 1 thing wrong with them.

Yeah, I'd be amazed if you receive the phone by Friday. I ordered my RMA unit last Thursday and don't even expect to receive it till next week.

Oh well, I may have to keep both and sell the extra when I get back then.
I'm sure the speaker noise will be there in the replacement...
So where do they pull these replacement orders from? Do they have a stash of Nexus 4's solely just for replacements separate from the regular orders?
And what's the guarantee the replacement unit won't be of the same "batch" and have the same issues?
Just curious because my earpiece is buzzing and I'm not sure if I should bother exchanging or not... You also lose out on the screen protector and have to get a new one.

If you decide to keep both, will they add shipping and tax to the AUTH charge? Because if not, isn't this a sneaky way of getting a 2nd Nexus 4 for cheaper? Or likewise, a Nexus 4 way earlier than folks ordering normally?
Got mine in 5 days after ordering a replacement

Called on the 28th got confirmation on same day with all the links got shipping notification on the 30th, received it Tuesday the 4th very positive expirence.
also i sent a support thingy via the website didn't hear anything for 24hours so i just called and got everything instantly. so yeah if you need to RMA and want it fast just call and do it on the phone with the rep
called the night of 29th for RMA, got confirmation e-mail right away, but nothing since then....called google on 3rd and 4th dec, apparently it's still being processed...go figure. Not too happy right now.

We are in the same boat.
Ordered the night of 28th, got RMA and order confirmation email. No shipping email yet. I would like to receive the replacement asap since I have to return the device in 21 days. On the other hand, there is a chance that the replacement might be from a newer batch so I don't mind waiting.

Yes, they have a seperate stock for RMA's only. Which explains why they can be sent out right away.
There is no gaurantee that these replacements didn't come from the same batch at the defective units. In fact, more than likely they are the same batch. I remember when I RMA'd my Galaxy Nexus last year the rep told me that the RMA units are hand inspected to ensure there are no defects, which I believed at the time. But after all this N4 shipping craziness and lies I don't believe a word any of those people tell me.
As far as I'm aware they will only charge the "auth" amount in full if you fail to return the device. So for me the $349 charge will hit my card and I COULD turn around and sell the other phone if I wanted. However, I'm just going to send it back.

Yeah, this makes me nervous as well. I ordered on the 29th and received my tracking number on the 30th. However, the tracking status is still just the yellow box saying a shipping label has been created as of 12/5. I'm afraid that I won't get the phone until I have like 1 day to return the defective unit within the 21 day period.
Time will tell I suppose.
Another person on the same boat. Called on the 28th forgot to click the link to reordered till the 1st. Still haven't receive any tracking info.
Ordered replacement on 28th and got a shipping notice just after midnight of the 30th. No movement on the tracking number even though I got a useless My Choice notification that it was going to be delivered yesterday. Nothing arrived . Awaiting a reply from my CSR.

Keep me posted. Looks like myself and others are in the same situation. Just about the same dates and everything.
Here's my complete experience with my first RMA...
I called them a few days after i received my N4 (i was a first batch buyer) and noticed on the back i had a crack and scratches, despite still having the back film on there, so i took the film off thinking that was scratched but it wasn't, it was the phone out of the box so i called Google on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, they couldn't match my imei so they sent it to a "higher up" and then i called again Monday because i had heard nothing and the CSR said the RMA was ready and i started the process on Monday afternoon! I got a shipping confirmation the next day at about 6 pm Tuesday, i clicked the tracking number and to my surprise, my phone was already in my state ready for delivery! I received the phone at about 7 pm Wednesday! Now my replacement had no scratches or anything, however, it had the fu**in deafening screeching sound when in a call so i called again this past Sunday and got another RMA set up...but this time i haven't gotten a shipping email yet, just a "ship within a week" notice! I don't mind it since i already have the device, but here's hoping it doesn't have the sound! If it does, ill milk the RMA until i get a device without that sound! Its unbearable! Anyways, that's my story!

Hey Guys, This is gonna be a bit off topic, but don't take it wrong.. i am thinking about ordering this phone from germany (my friend does live here so he will order it then he will send it to me to slovakia),, but as i see this,, it's really not worth of it as i see dozens of problems with this phone,
So my question, IS it worth to get this phone with that so many problems?
11/29 - RMA order placed
11/30 - Confirmation email with UPS tracking number received. Email says that the phone will be delivered within 3-5 business days
11/30 - UPS Tracking page says, "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
12/5 - UPS tracking page still says the above with no additional tracking info
Today is the 4th business day since receiving the email with the tracking number so I figure that there should definitely be at least an origin scan on the UPS tracking page by now. Since there does not appear to be an update to the tracking progress I decided to make some calls and see if anyone could shed light on where my RMA unit is. I called UPS first. They told me that the label has been printed but the seller (Google) still hasn't given them the phone to ship out. This was precisely what I figured the case was because Google has just been so fantastic about shipping these N4's out.
Then I decided to call Google for some sort of an explanation (optimistic, I know). I talked to a CSR who gave me the same BS others have been getting who also have the tracking number with no tracking updates. He said this situation is "very strange and rare" then said he would forwarded my issue to a "shipping specialist" (yeah right) and told me he would email me back within the next 2 days (again, yeah right).
So here I am with absolutely no idea where my replacement phone is. I suppose I could be worse off though since I already have an N4 in my possession. But now I just want one that isn't defective out of the box.
So I pre-ordered the note 4 on the 24th like eveyone else super excited to receive info that it shipped early. Sure enough Monday comes and goes I cleared my schedule waiting for ,Ups and checked outside to find notice on my door that they tried to deliver but never rang bell or knocked on door. Was too late to hold for pickup so they said it would go out on tues. called around 5pm to find out it wasnt on truck for delivery. Put a hold for pickup and went down to station to find out they cannot locate package and they have placed an investigation on it and that it might of been stolen??? Kidding me??? dont they have cameras in factory. Tmobile was very understanding and said they would overnight one which should of arrived today only to find out its still pending shipping even though my other would of arrived Monday and they told me this doesnt get released until friday so with overnight shipping wont arrive until monday. even though the Pre-order ones were released early. Now im without a phone for rest of week as Like anyone I sold my galaxy note 3 on ebay and already shipped it out. I would of just risked getting in store tomorrow but now I have double charges on my credit card until they find original. This sucks anyone else ever have issue with UPS :crying:

Ever heard of Murphy's law?? Sorry to hear bro but I've never had problems with ups so far maybe it's just one of those freak accidents
Forgive me - I don't mean to come off sounding critical - but why in the name of.....would you sell your previous phone before you had even gotten the new phone in hand? I can't imagine ever doing that - there are just too may odd possibilities that could happen - hind sight is 20 20 - but this one could have obviously been avoided if you had just waited until the new phone was in your hands before you sold the previous phone.
having said that - I am sorry you had problems - and hope, for your sake that your new phone gets here soon.

I pre-ordered the new Samsung20 Ultra and was supposed to have it March 13th. I started receiving all the bonus items on that date, but no device. I started trying to call baout this on the 16th and was given at 3 different stories about where my order was, but never a real explanation as to why it was being delayed. New delivery dates promised, an email from someone at Samsung saying they showed a had already received it which was completely false so I had to call and argue about that as well. Finally 2 weeks later I get an email with a tracking number. I was supposed to get it yesterday. I check the tracking and find out that it is in town at the local center at 7am. So I am finally feeling some relief that I am going to receive my device. Nothing shows up. I track again this morning and find that it was returned to Samsung. Then I got 2 different stories, one from FedEx and one from Samsung. FedEx says that Samsung requested it be returned and Samsung says it shows that I refused delivery. I get 2 FedEx deliveries each day for my business and I accepted both of them yesterday personally and neither had the device. When I call Samsung they say they can't do anything and that I have to place a new order and wait another god know how long before i get the phone. I can tell you that I have had something similar like this happen with an Apple order and they took full responsibilty from the word go. They immediately arranged to overnight me a replacement and I had it in my son's hands the next day. So sorry Samsung, while I prefer your devices to Apple, your customer service stinks!

If I'm you I'll cancel the order and get refund. And you'll get to keep the freebies that was shipped. Then go buy the phone if you really like it from retail shop.
