If you are considerin an order with Expansys - think again!
I tried to post this in the Expansys forums but it was deleted within minutes and it seems they have now blocked my right to post!
Ordered the Desire HD with free accessoy pack (204815) when stock was showing as available and confirmed that the item was in stock with customer services prior to placing the order.
Order summary showed everything in stock but when the order moved to 'in progress' the Desire HD then showed 'Estimated 1 day'. This then moved to 3 days and is currently showing 6 days!
Called customer support and was told that everything is in stock but the Desire HD - this was obviously the main part of the order. When questioning why the site said 'in stock' when ordering I was offered no explanation and was told that the Desire HD is in high demand.
Poor Expansys, very poor. If you don't have the stock, do NOT say that you do!
This mirrors my experience 18 months ago with the my HTC Magic order I finally cancelled my order having been told good luck but no-one has any in stock and got one from phones4u delivered the following day. I have stayed away from Expansys since but if you look they always claim to be getting items in much earlier than anyone else
I really do hate it when any online company shows something I want as "IN STOCK" when in actual fact they have nothing, www play com also does this.

Worse still is being lied to when calling to check stock level on the site. On two occasions I spoke to Expansys (two separate orders) and on two occasions I was told they were in stock. Guess what, on two occasions the order reverted to 'awaiting stock' following payment!
Not impressed with Expansys at all. The part that annoyed me even further is that my query and warning to others in the Expansys forum was removed within minutes and I was barred from posting again!
Not good business!
Expansys are scammers, pure and simple. I've had a couple of similar experiences and now wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
I strongly advise everyone to keep well away.

They're showing 99 in stock at the moment so you should be getting yours soon. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
I always stick to ebay when buying new phones and the sellers with excellent feedback usually dont let you down.
I was going to buy a couple of charging docks from Expansys (my wife has a DHD too) and I was pleased to see a voucher for 50% off. At the basket it would only discount one dock and not two so I had a grumble to myself and decided to buy neither. Nice looking little dock though, but I am put off buying there by the stories here.
The exact same thing happened to me when I ordered my htc desire a few months back, they said they had it in stock on the website, then then out of stock, then estimated 2 days, then 5 days then 10 days .
It was so bad I almost harmed myself!
Anyways why are you ordering from expansys, they have the highest price at the moment for the Desire HD, there are other places selling it cheaper.

I STRONGLY suspect they are not in stock at all and this is just a ploy to secure 'pre-orders'. Let's face it, their price is that far inflated over the competition what else would make us buy from them, the fact they have it 'in stock' even though they don't!
There is no way they would suddenly have 100 units in stock when I was told today they are having trouble maintaining stock level and that they expect a delivery on Tuesday, therefore mine SHOULD be shipped out Tuesday or Wednesday.
My order still shows 'Estimated 6 days' even though stock shows as 99+ A complete joke!
Good luck to all who place an order with Expansys!

They MIGHT be ok for accessories but then having had first hand experience of their sly ways I can not recommend them. Buy at your own risk :-/

Simply because they had them in stock, or so I was told!
Personally I no longer believe a word these cowboys say and I will definitely be recommending that people to not buy from Expansys after my experience.
Not surprising to hear, unfortunately. I ordered my Hero through them last year, and the days kept creeping up, with stock levels showing as available. A common trend, it seems.

I really can't see why they are allowed to say they have something in stock when they clearly do not. Moreover, to be told they are in stock when ringing to verify the stock level on the website is just plain dishonest!
Removing my post in the forums and blocking my access is just the icing on the cake!
Another one with a bad experience of eXpansys.
It took them over 2 weeks to deliver my daughter's HTC Snap even though it was supposedly in stock. Ignored e-mails too. Terrible customer support.
Complete and utter shysters, plus that annoying t**t, Peter Jones has his sticky fingers in the company.
Please, for your own good, avoid eXpansys like the plague!
I would also recommend avoiding Expansys.
In my experiences, their stock numbers are not reliable (i.e. fabricated). Their deceptive business practices lure you into ordering with them then keep you hanging on waiting for your product.
On one particular order when I queried when delivery was to occur I was told to "relax" and that it was "on it's way." If their pricing was cheaper/competitive then you could reasonably put up with this.
Other than a poor customer experience, inflated prices and deceptive/misleading business practices they are fine (i.e. you'll eventually get what you've purchased in good condition).
Would recommend Handtec first, then Clove as better alternatives.

I agree that this quite nicely sums things up with this company.
Expansys also shipping Vodafone branded DHD as "sim-free, unbranded"!!!
1) Expansys do get 100 handsets but it seems they only update the 'in stock' numbers once a day when they 'process' orders. If you are customer 1-99 then great, no problem but if come online in the evening and are customer 100+, and they haven't updated the numbers, then you essentially become a pre-order - even though it says in stock. Dodgy.
2) BUT, way more dodgy... I just got my DHD yesterday: sim free, unlocked, unbranded and clean ...or so I thought.... But what do I see as soon as I boot? Vodafone branding. Called them; "oh, but it is just the boot logo, otherwise it is a normal DHD" Not good enough, I buy unbranded cos I want unbranded!
And Vodafone 360 replaces Amazon MP3 in the HTC music player too - so more than just a boot screen. What else is affected? Where do the upgrade ROMs come from? HTC or so I have to wait for a Vodafone ROM??
Worst of all, when I call HTC to migrate my Navigation subscriptions they tell me I should return the DHD as I shouldn't have a UK Vodafone branded handset in Sweden, and that Expansys shouldn't be selling it to me.
3) To give Expansys some credit here (a little), they send TNT in a few hours to collect the Vodafone handset and supposedly have a replacement, real sim-free, unbranded handset to send me tomorrow. Just hope it exists and shows up.

Wow, that IS dodgy! Wonder how that slipped in there!
Expansys is known for a dodgy rep , if you are buying sim free from the uk stick with clove or handtec dont even consider expansys.
i boughts something a while ago from them i received an empty box :\, when i asked questions i got no answer i did a charge back thingy with my bank and got the money back, was for a replacement phone charger luckily it didnt cost too much
I'm waiting for my SGS2.... I ordered from Affordable Mobiles in the UK.... just wanted to make sure when they say next week.... they mean NEXT WEEK..... and that they haven't been stringing along other customers for weeks and weeks with the same promises.
Label thread titles properly please. This is a question. With a [Q]! for Q&A section.

I've got an order pending with them and I've been waiting a while, but there is a shortage of unlocked handsets with the usual online retailers. If you're wanting the phone quickly I'd say go elsewhere, as I've been waiting a fortnight so far. That said, they have the best deals around, especially when taking Quidco into account. I'm holding out for a free phone @£26.50 p/m for 18months (Cashback Inc.)

Yeah same reason I went with them... TopCashback in my case and with a £35 cheque back after 30 days I will be paying the equivalent of just over £28 for 18 mths.... as you say the best deals around by at least by a few pounds each month.
I'm not in a rush as such.... just eager to get back onto Android.... my rooted HD2 died on me so I've sent it back for repair... in the meantime I am using a woeful LG Renior KC910 (good camera, crap phone!).
I am still waiting... apparently any day now, but they can't be anymore specific. They do have the SGS2 on the Three network but I specifically need T-mobile..... hopefully Monday!
Listed elsewhere as a company to avoid .

Really?... did do a search but couldn't find anything... apart from the obvious delay in getting the handset, their customer service (speed answering calls, apologies for delay etc.) has been fine.

I ordered mine few weeks back and didn't revive after a week, so spoke to them and they told me it wid be in within the next few days waited a few more days and contacted them again and they told me they dnt have the handset in stock and have no idea when they will be having it back in stock, so I just cancels my order with them and brought from local o2 shop
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I ordered mine with them on 19th May..and still waiting..chased every day and they've repeatedly said 'end of the week' when i phone on the friday its 'next week'..
apparantly they now have it in stock on 3, but T-Mobile they're pretty sure will be able to deliver next week (w/c 7th June) but we'll see.
Well I suppose they are at least being consistent... I will do a search of MSE... The AM deal is the best I can get though so I am not keen to cancel just yet.
One good thing is that I have received my old HTC HD2 back from the T-Mobile repair sent so I will have that rooted and running Android in no time... that will keep me going until I get the SGS2
Let us know when you have it in your hands.
I am still waiting for mine, fingers crossed for soon - the HD2 that i am using is on its last legs - the USB port is broken and I restored a factory ROM to send it back to be fixed (which they would only do for £250). now I cant install HSPL because the USB doesnt work! even worse I had to buy extra batteries and an external charger. Longing so much to get my Galaxy SII in my hands!
Luckily my HD2 was repaired FOC via T-Mobile themselves... I made the mistake of going to HTC direct with my partners Desire and they wanted £200 citing moisture as the problem with one of the buttons.
HTC are solidly made for sure but this doesn't make them anymore reliable... hopefully the Sammy will be better.
Still waiting... and still Affordable Mobiles have no idea when they will have the handsets in stock.
Apparently they are now "In transit" (to Affordable Mobiles)
I will. be receiving mine on the 13th June now... would have been today if it wasn't for the weekend.
Looks like Affordable have reasonable stocks again as they are advertising them again and are by far the cheapest.

They are doing the launch party on the 20th, the device is likely to launch a few weeks later. 1st of March seems to be the word.

Got the cash back yesterday, when I placed the pre-order they made it clear that the deposit was fully refundable.
The only thing they could tell me, was that the phone should be available before the end of the Month.
All I know is mine will be in my hot little hands in a couple of days
Do we know where Mobicity/Expansys/other online stores got their units from? As in.. which country?

I'm still torn between waiting or getting it online.
got mine in Mobilezone Chester hill for $699, but they only have the black one in stock, Vodafone branded.
Arrived yesterday. Loving it already, only thing I don't like is the app's, hard to know if it is a true app or Sony bundled trying to sell you crap .
Screen is stunning, everyone I have shown the phone today are amazed, iphone and smasung users. I was reserved when it first came, because it didn't look that flash with the mat shipping screen guard, viewing angles were not good, once I remove this front and back and put on the supplied screen protectors, it is just stunning, even outside it is way better than any of my previous HTC phones.
My one is the white model
Hi. I just got my Xperia Z... I bought it online (mobicity). Looks like it's from France. I got the charging dock. But there's no screen protector inside the package. How come? And since it's from France, I wonder if that means I got the inferior screen panel...?

Sweet score on the dock. Best to ask Mobicity, maybe they put it on when they removed sim lock???
Sony rep liked my phone when I took it in to show him, nice guy, but on of the other guys had an attitude about it. As far as I am concerned if Sony don't get their act together what do they expect.

Are you using a regular e-mail address? I noticed that it didn't like my various domain names, however it did like my Gmail.
Ordered 30mins ago, so the code still works. The price for the phone dropped by £1. However, there is no information about the headphones in the email I got.
Hopefully I'll get the headphones.
I only hope the viewing angle is not too bad. Otherwise going to return it.

As soon as he recieves it, he is going to send phone back as he doesn't want it, but keep the headphones.
In fact he has already listed the headphones for sale on ebay!

It is extremely unlikely. Sorry would just refund him the money minus the cost of the headphones.
So your friend will lose out since you can buy the headphones from amazon for £180, and Sony charges £300 on their website.
At the end, your friend will loose £120 to £200 if he do not return the headphones with the phone.

should have said, he's also thought of this and is just going to claim he never recieved the headphones.
And then if Sony dispute this, he is apparently going to kick up an almighty stink about it and keep it going until they relent.
Unfortuantely I've seen him do this with many other things in the past, and 9 times out of 10, they eventually let it go just to shut him up.
he manages to score so much free stuff this way (which inevitably ends up on ebay).

Have just checked and the order says processing...am not sure what it was previously though so don't know if it has changed
UPDATE: Just spoke to Chloe in Handtec...orders are still due to ship in Mid May so no point getting our hopes up today [emoji22]

I ordered from handtec and I just checked my card, they have charged it which, according to their FAQs they only do when they ship the product. I do hope that is the case.

I would not get too excited about that. My card was charged by Carphone Warehouse on the 23rd March!
I just spoke to a helpful gentleman over the phone from CPW. He confirmed that they do actually have stock in the warehouse but cannot release it until Sony give the OK of which there is no date...even more annoying if it is true as Sony are doing themselves no favours in holding back the release [emoji35]

Spoke to Vodafone twice today. First time this morning was told no stock has been received and Sony would update them later today so ask again tonight.
Just spoke to then and the woman was useless. Said she had to check if it's been shipped from the warehouse, even though I told her I just wanted an update on the delay and she said they have been doing since the 10th... Completely incompetent.
Expecting an argument on the legality of the contact now as I plan on canceling if they can't at least give me a simple purpose update on the status!

I'm truly amazed at the cluster this launch has turned out to be. I am still in awe at the way this is being handled by Sony and I'm a Sony customer. Wish all the best in getting resolution. I canceled pre-order and went with EBay. The device is worth the wait but supply chain at Sony should be chastised for not handling this better.

Am thinking that maybe the pre-orders with CPW are only relating to contract phones and that us sim free buyers may have to wait until the sim free launch in May as retailers always favour the contract sales as that where the money is.
I did ask a clueless person in Phones4U about the sim free model and he said they wouldn't be able to sell it sim free until 2 weeks after they get the phones in. He did also state that is would be around £700 sim free, so maybe take his comments with a pinch of salt.
Really hope I'm wrong
Ok , I pre-predered & PAID for my Z2 on the 26th February to give you some reference, My last email from Sony support said they would be dispatching from W/C 14/4/14,
However I have just been on the phone to Sony e-commerce Michael and his latest information on my Z2 is that they wont be dispatching until the end of April..:crying:
So take from that what you will as regards to your orders....

Normally disadvantages would be:
Compatility issues..... make sure you're getting the correct model for your region/network
The wait....... ummmmmmm, might actually be quicker
Fake........ Obviously you run this risk anywhere, but be more cautious when ordering from overseas
warranties, guarantees etc..... if they're valid it would cost loads to ship back if it needed repairs
think thats about it..... oh n customs
