Good day,
I hope I am not breaking any rules by letting others know that the GNote is available for a delivered price of $694.99 using the above voucher for those interested in gettng EU version of the GNote in the USA.
By buying through them I can get warranty repair from the Samsung INTERNATIONAL warranty if need be. (Yes one has to send it back to Expansys in order for them to submit to Samsung for warranty work but that is better than buying from other sources who will not handle the warranty effort if need be.
I hear that Handek will also do the warranty work if need be but Expansys got my money this time.
I placed my order and screwed up when I went to pay for it using PayPal and got charged the total $794.99 (My fault, not theirs).
I called up Expansys customer support just now and they issued me the $100 credit and also told me that they supply the USA power adapter needed here in the USA.
Who is better than them?
I can't wait to get this bad boy.
VTY,
Just tried this and I get:
"Voucher can only be applied to orders with a minimum value of $790.00"
10$ less than the phone, I tried adding things to my cart but then the voucher wouldn't apply.
Edit.. So last week I tried calling them several times to order a note, spent tons of time on hold and never got anyone. I fired off 3 .. yes 3! emails to [email protected] last week and still have no reply. I'm trying to call them one last time, currently on hold but I have a feeling CTINYC is going to get my order, its 100$ off without the promo code, just not as cheap overnight shipping.
I bought mine from Amazon Germany in England and was charged a total of $690 in USD
Ordered mine from Amazon prime usa via global mobiles for 730 shipped overnight.

FREE SHIPPPPINGG!
GREAT DEAL! JUST ORDERED ONE!
Just came to post that. You came first
sent from my 'Samsung Galaxy SII'
Im going to buy one as well. This is a good deal. Same card is on newegg.com for $20 shipped free. And if you look at it as a ratio, its an even better deal for 50 cents for a gig.
Also just be aware that they will only ship to your billing address. This is a little issue for me because my billing address is not where I live as im away at school. But maybe it wont be an issue for you guys.

Thanks for the heads up. It truly is an excellent deal. I purchased one just to use in my backup TP2. You can barley find a 8gb for this price!!!
I didn't need one but I couldn't pass up this deal. This will come in handy if my 8gb dies. Thanks magic!
I had the wife order some but it would only let her order 2
I want one lol hope this comes back up
How quickly do these folks ship? I ordered a 32GB MicroSD card they advertised back on the 24th of December for $19.99. I'm still waiting on the shipment info. But they long since charged my card, double because their site processed my order in error.
They emailed me saying they fixed my order and refunded the extra but I don't see this reflecting anywhere, on my order summary on their site, nor my bank account info.
Honestly if I could do it all over again, I would avoid DailySteals like the plague. They are the worst online shop I've ever dealt with.
Luckily I used my PayPal debit card as my credit transaction. If I don't get anything by the end of this week, I'm going to dispute their charge.

I hope everything gets straightened out...they really are a pain to deal with. It took 15 days to receive a past order i made with them. I couldnt get anyone on their customer service line.
I really think they act as a middle man for other businesses. When i ordered a palm pixi from them, it was at my door in 3 days.

I just got a email back from them today saying"
"Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately the item was lost in transit, I have processed a refund for you. The refund will take up to 5 business days to be reflected on your bank account. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you."
All this time I've been in communicating with them trying to confirm if they corrected my order and asking about the status, it took them 3 weeks after they charged my credit card to tell me my item have been lost in the mail.
Let alone they've been giving me the 3 day business day wait answer on me receiving my refund for the double error order which never showed up credited to my account.
Now I'm suppose to hope they do a complete refund this time around waiting an additional 5 business days.
This is why DailySteals.com should never be recommended to anyone. They are a scam.
Thank God I used my PayPal debit card because I will be disputing their $49.96 charge to my account on the 24th of dec.
Has anyone received a shipping email for their 16gb cards?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Just reporting that I received my 16gb card today. Tested it out and it IS true capacity. Came in a plain white envelope with no receipt or anything
I also received my 16GB Class 4 "Sandisk" MicroSDHC card today. Like the previous post, it was also in a regular white envelope with no receipt and not even in a bag or case. It is NOT a true Sandisk and only has a marking that says made in japan on it. The only reason i bought from this site was that I thought it was going to be a Sandisk. I will not buy no-name SD cards. I do not trust putting stuff that is important to me on a card that might go bad in a week or two. I don't want to feel the need to back everything up either. I just want it to WORK. All in all, I am very disappointed in my experience with this company and I hope they will be contacting me because I left them a nice E-mail. And by the way, they never replied back to my first email wondering where my order was because i never received shipping confirmation. WHAT A BUNCH OF PROFESSIONALS! Rant over. Thanks for caring.
EDIT: Tested it out and even the class4 thing is a sham. It was transferring files at 1.24KB on average. Yes, KB...My class 4 took 13 minutes to transfer and the dud was saying 1 hour or more. They better Email back.
I ordered the 16gb that day and I haven't received or heard anything yet. All I got was a purchase confirmation and that was it. Hoping to hear something soon!

Same **** here. Sandisk my ass. I got 2.
Got mine today and its some worthless no brand 16gb card. If I had known I wouldnt have wasted my money. I dont trust this thing to keep my data. Its completely useless. Never again will I order from them.
Guys check your email I got one just now about a refund situation from daily steals about if you got a generic card. Seems they are doing something to try and make it right.

I got the same email as well...I chose the $8 credit just because I am using this card in my backup phone so it really isn't a huge problem for me.

Okay so I'm from India and I can't order the phone through the Google Play Store since Google doesn't accept Indian credit cards.
Now I need the phone delivered to Florida, USA to a friend who will be getting it back for me. I can't use Swappa since everyone insists on my PayPal verified address matching my shipping address, which it obviously can't since my PayPal address is my Indian address.
So what are my remaining options? I can't ask him to order it for me. I need to order it myself from here using my Indian credit card and my PayPal account that has my Indian CC and my Indian address linked to it.
AFAIK even most eBay sellers insist on the two addresses matching. Is that so? I've contacted a few sellers but they haven't responded.
Any ideas?

Can your friend buy it for you since he's in the U.S? You can pay him back later. Or wire him the money and he can get the phone?

The problem is that wiring the money costs me about 15% of the total amount, which is ridiculously high.
Also I'd like the phone to be in my name for future uses.
Yeah okay, it sounds crazy but hear me out. I've never used Expansys, but guys on here seem to like them. I've always used Handtec (love them) and Negri (not crazy about them, but never a major problem)
So last night I place an order for 3 SGS4's (i9500) with expansys, using a credit card. This is the same credit card I've had for many years, I've used it to order *countless* phones from Handtec, Negri, etc. I prefer Google Checkout. Never an issue.
I get this email today:
Thank you for your order, however I'm afraid that we are unable to
accept it as a credit card order.
If you would still like us to ship your order you can pay for it by
bank transfer or Amazon checkout. .
Amazon Checkout can only be utilized if the item ordered is in stock and you will
need to create an account with Amazon (if you do not have one already) and be
subject to their security checks.
Please send a response email if you are willing to pay for your products via wire
transfer or wish to pay with Amazon checkout.
You must contact us via email so we can make sure the shipping charges are correct
before you send the wire payment.
We will send you wire instructions and the amount due. Your order will be
processed immediately upon receipt of funds in our account.
If you wish to pay with Amazon checkout, we will cancel this order and you will
need to place a new order and select that payment option.
Your credit card has not and will not be charged.
Thank you for placing your order with eXpansys.

Okay, so I called them up to find out the problem. All he could tell me was due to security they can't accept *a* credit card. (not just *my* credit card) So I asked about going through Amazon. (I'm a prime member) He tells me they can't do that either, until the phones are actually in stock. So my ONLY choice is to pay a fee, and do a bank transfer. (which boggles my mind... the phones won't be shipping for at least 1.5 weeks)
So now what? Negri is the only other place with the I9500s, and they want $75 more per phone. I wish Handtec had them, but they only have the I9505s.
Is there something else I can do, or someone else I can talk to? I told they guy the only option I have is to use Negri, he didn't care. What am I missing?
(yes this is half rant, half question...)
Is your shipping or billing address different to the address attached to the card? sometimes they don't like that :s

No, everything is the same. Like I said, it wasn't an issue with my credit card, but any credit card. My ONLY option was a bank transfer.
Its looking like I'm going to have to use Negri.
Are you talking USA or the Brits? I have used a credit card at the USA website several times.

USA. The order was for 3, totaling $2300 ish.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
Hmmmm, wonder if it's the amount either in dollars or number of phones? Might try and see if the website will accept an order for one. If they don't there is something up with your card. I can only go back to last years order but I made that one with a different card that was subsequently cancled do to a mass security leak. At any rate I have used two different cards there for sure. If they do accept the order you could order them one at a time I suppose. Guess if there was no time cruntch that would be the cheaper route.
Wire transfers bank to bank should not be that expensive, I have done a number of them for watches and never paid more than 40 dollars so that would still be quite a bit cheaper than Negri. IMO another route would be to call up and ask to be escalated up to someone who has the authority to make a call. I would guess if buying 3 that person might be willing to deduct it from the total price.
They made it VERY clear that it wasn't anything to do with my particular card. He just said no card could be used at all.
I'm going to try and get ahold of someone else tomorrow.

I have ordered from them before, but only once and no issues. The dollar amount and qty of phones could be the issue and perhaps they are concerned about fraud given the popularity of the phones, risk of not getting paid if it were a case of fraud, etc.
I would say its a tough call, doing a $2300 transfer is something I wouldn't do no matter how much I liked a reseller, you could wait until they are in stock, but you risk them selling out quickly.
What kind of guarantee are they giving you if you needed to cancel the order, how long to get the funds back, are there any fee's etc. Would they do something to offset the fee's, say a credit towards accessories, etc? Never hurts to ask and that is a nice order.

Yeah, I can understand that. Heck when I saw the email I thought "okay, gotta call em up" But they didn't even ask. And I called less than 10 minutes after getting the email. The guy didn't even wanna deal with me.
The person who sent me the email had already gone home, so I dealt with him. I emailed her back, perhaps I'll hear something tomorrow.
I bought my gt-i9100 and motorola xoom off of expansys. First time cc worked no problem second time they asked for money transfer which I did. Everything went fine they shipped right away. Just make sure you ask the to fill out the international warranty papers in the box.
If you'd like to PM me I can get to the bottom of this for you. Is your CC by chance issued outside of the USA? That is what initially comes to mind.
Regards,
Corey

Nah, its a normal US CC. Ive used it for some pretty large phone purchases with Handtec and Negri in the past. (some of my friends don't have their crap together, so they pay me to order them phones)
PM me order Ref and I can look at it.
Hopefully the OP wont mind since I reckon he is interested as well... When do you anticipate stock and subsequent shipment Corey?
In my case, contacted UK Expansys for a quote, as US chat support told me to contact their UK division for a quote, with European tax and warranty. Two days and no reply yet :/ Support it's not serious at all and this could be a problem in case warranty support it's needed.

limited amount of white landing today, but our annual inventory starts at noon. If fedex gets to us by 10:30am, all white backorders go out today.
Bummer, I'm in early but for the black. Thanks for the update regardless.
Just an FYI for the thread, Corey was able to take care of the problem for me, but I had already placed an order w/Negri. (it shipped the very next day, no time to cancel)
Hey guys, I have a question for you. Two days ago I ordered the OnePlus 5 128 GB. I used my american debit card and this morning when I checked my online banking I saw that OnePlus actually charged additional $16.17 for "International Fee".
Has somebody else been charged with such a fee ?
What would you suggest me to do?
It is funny. I live in Maryland (USA) and OnePlus sent me the phone from Los Angeles but we are still in the same country :laugh:
That is your credit card company, not oneplus. If you had used paypal for the transaction instead of their cc check out, you would not have had the fee, as paypal is processed in the US...
Exactly, even if the phone was sent from a US shipping depot the paiement is processed from a Chinese company and international fees can apply from your credit card company (especially if you use a Amex card, they are the worst for the fees).
You never see this problem by using PayPal.

It has nothing to do with where it comes from. It's just based on the recipient. Just another reason to use PayPal.
LOL
Go to your bank and complain mate! I't not OP that did that
damn, i tried to pay with creditcard and didnt accept it (probably typed something wrong), so i used the same creditcard through paypal, and it worked fine. so i guess i dodged that fee by accident
