Well i ordered a Nillkin Ultra Slim Hard Shield Faceplate for Samsung Galaxy S2 couple of week back from Obostore.com.
Very disappointed with their service,
1st, i ordered from them under registered mail and they didn't give me the Tracking number for registered mail. So i emailed them, they send me a tracking number, BUT i didn't know the tracking number given was WRONG until later....
2nd, a WRONG product was mailed to my house, a iGlaze casing for iphone 4. Also at this time i spotted the mail tracking number was wrong. So i email them immediately. They gave me another tracking number which was the same as the mail i received. So i took the picture of the wrong product and emailed them. They denied that this product was from them, they do not sell this product in the shop and ask me to check again.
How can that be when the given registered mail tracking number matches with the one given and also mailing address is correct but i got the wrong product. They simply just deny it!!!
3rd, i emailed them and not received a reply for 5 days!!! So they simply trying to ignore this?
Well i guess they have this problem alot as there is a SPECIAL OFFER in their site. They can't do what they promise!
-Extracted from Obostore.com-
SPECIAL OFFER NOW!!!!
--We spend most time to think about how to make transactions more and more smoothly. It is believed that people are basically good. In order to save the time and cost involved in replacing wrong or broken items, we announce an excellent new offer:
Now our customers only need to take a photo to show the evidence and we will immediately ship correct replacements!
-------------------------------------------
I know some of you do not face such problem, maybe i am the unlucky one. But i just want to let people out there to know this and think twice before getting from Obostore.com You can get better service in other seller
i bought two cases for my i9100 and had a crappy experience too. i bought the same case as you, plus a similar one that looks exactly like the oem samsung mesh case with soft touch paint.
the prices are great, but their communication is brutal. they would take 4-7days to respond to an email and the response would be so short that they wouldnt answer the question fully. after 3 weeks of waiting for the product and dealing with their crap customer service i did receive the correct cases and was very impressed with the quality. even saying that, i dont think that i would deal with them again
Yeah, their reply barely even a sentense, just afew word to entertain you. I surely will never recommend this site to my friends.
Bought another casing through Ebay which more reliable, they even update you on the dispatched date blah blah blah. Much detailed.
Hi,
Sadly had to say that i have also problems with OBOstore - i've ordered 2 pieces of Nillkin Ultra Slim Hard Shield Faceplate for Samsung Galaxy S2 on June 17th and until today nothing arrives here...
They gave me a tracking number of Singapure Post, but all i could read out of it was, that the order was dispatched to overseas postage on June 23rd...
I'll give them another week and after than i will contact paypal for a refund of my money!

Do what I did and play hardball with them. Send them an email right now stating that it has been longer than the estimated delivery time and the items have not arrived and if they don't arrive by tomorrow you will start a refund request with PayPal. Why should you wait even longer for these morons?
They offered to resend them or give me a full refund but the items ended up arriving that same day
OBOstore.com very bad aftersell service and products
Hi,
I have juste experienced the very bad after sale service of this OBOstore site. I have bought a case for iPad 2, received it after almost 2 months and after 1 months of normal use, it begins to crack on the corners and when I have contacted the after sale service , they said that the warrenty period was finished and there was nothing to do !
I was very disappointed and decided to never buy products from them since they have bad products and bad after sell service.
Instead of buying from this ****ty site, try to buy from known brand like Belkin and other, they have long period warrenty, I saw for some cases, up to 10 years warrenty and for similar prices.
Don't buy from this site, the day you'll have problems with your product, you'll find no one to talk to and even if you find someone he will give you no solutions !
Have a good day
Tom

I mad this way back in October and kept it as a backup in case Handtec didn't come through but seeing as they did get it, already have my money, and are cheaper I'm canceling this one and going with them.
For anyone in the US who still wants to order one despite the SAV issue and doesn't want to deal with making an international order they're another viable option.
Don't know if 750 is viable.. what a mark up.

They're just passing the import fees along to the consumer and trying to make a $30-$40 profit like Negri did. Personally I have no problem going through a UK retailer but a lot of folks were hesitant.
I just received the same email too.
They were actually expecting stocks due next Monday. It looks like it arrived earlier.
For the price, I think it is OK. There is a $20 coupon which brings the total down to 729, plus they do not charge tax outside IL.
I just placed an order through expanys usa, only because my bank was blocking transactions though Handtec due to "fraud", which is rubbish because they are a legit company. Anyway Expansys charged me for shipping, while advertising free shipping, also none of the coupon codes worked (10OFFLC nor 20OFFLC).
I believe it is free shipping for 3-5 day.

I just placed an order with them clicking through Mr. Rebates to get 2% back and $20 off. The email acknowledgement shows -$20 for a total of $729.99.
I'll check my CC to see if they did only charge $729.99 or added to that.

I tried 20OFFLC and it did apply it. It shows it at the bottom. For warranty is expansys USA a authorized Samsung reseller?

Anything sold outside its intended country of sale is considered grey market by Samsung and has no warranty. However, during the life of the two-year warranty Expansys-USA will send the phone to their UK affiliate for service on behalf of their customers. Anyone buying from Negri, Amazon, or eBay has no warranty. No one in the U.S. is authorized to sell the phone by Samsung and it's not a U.S. product. Should the phone need service, Samsung UK will ask for a receipt and/or credit card statement. The purchase had to be made in the UK in GBP and from an authorized reseller for the warranty to be valid. They also keep a database of which phone serial numbers were sent to specific dealers/distributors. Many i9100 repairs were rejected because they didn't meet the requirements I described. All us i9100 owners went through this when the phone first came out so what I'm sharing is fact.
I got the same email. My total was 729.99 and I was more comfortable buying from a company with a US presence.
$750 + $29 for 1 day shipping. = $777.94
is it worth it?

Thank you for the clarification. Any idea as to how is their customer service in case something goes wrong with the phone?
Buying from EXPANSYS USA does not void a warranty by any means. I sent my GS2 back for a repair with no problem at all. In fact, I called EXPANSYS and spoke with a rep there that offered to take care of everything for me. I shipped it back to EXPANSYS and they forwarded it on to France for me, got it repaired, and shipped my phone back to me when it was finished. They also gave me all the information I would have needed if I wanted to do it myself. I just went through them to alleviate any huge shipping fees and any unforeseen obstacles. It looks like they do have the Galaxy Nexus in stock now.... It's hard not to buy one!!!

I am tempted, but I really want the 32GB version.
Agreed. It baffles me that they didn't put any expandable memory slots on this device.
Searched around, and find Importing from UK is about $695, shipping included (Handtec or Clove). While Expansys offers $750, Newegg offers $760. The difference is more than $50
So my focus is on warranty. Can we get US warranty when importing from UK?
Is expansys-us's warranty really US warranty or they also send it back to UK? How about Newegg?
Which one would you choose? Can anyone give better offers?
I'm on ATT and have to use it in China so I need the unlocked version
Decisions, please!
I don't know how you're paying, but with Google Checkout, they charged me over $20 for foreign currency, so it comes out to be closer.
Also amazon has a few 3rd party sellers who sell it for cheaper - and offer warranty.
Even if they offered warranty from UK, it would be expensive to ship it.

Didn't go through the whole process, stopped at checkout page and chose shipping to US and see price at 445 pounds. Thanks for the notice for additional fees.
BTW, will there be 8% tax charged when going through custom?
I believe eXpansys do offer warranty but I have no idea how they are doing their warranty. However, based on my experience, I feel safer getting mine from eXpansys mainly because they have an office based here in US and they are well known for their good customer service (at least for me). So I am more comfortable getting it from them. That's just my opinion though

Just found a better deal from Negri, original price $739, additional coupon $35, so only $704. How about warranty from Negri?
Update, looks like Negri needs people to pay at least $715.5, but this price is still okay.

Found someone saying international version will be available on bestbuy at $529 after verizon release?
That will be a huge steal, but is it possible?
If not, I think I will go by expansys next week after they have new stocks

Considering it's also speculated VZ will have a period of exclusivity and I don't believe Best Buy sells international versions - they only sell you phones that the carriers they support sell, I highly doubt it.
it'll be $649-$699 for off contract price, just like all other brand new high end android device.
I bought mine from amazon for $735
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZEF01A/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
They now have it for $643.50 with coupon for a pre-sale price. It's in my basket on holding debating what to do. This is for the Verizon version. I did ask that whether it was the 16 or 32GB since it just says Internal Memory 16/32. I also wanted to know how they would deliver it as it list overnight delivery, which would be a Saturday. However, if you read their fine print on all shipping, it will say, "If you choose Overnight Shipping you are getting a discount price on Second Day Air" and so on.
So, buy it now or wait?
Also, does anyone know how Verizon handles phones that you buy outright? Are you still locked into a 2 year contract? Or, do you pay monthly even if you have an account with them? I always get conflicting answers when I call or go into the stores. Thanks for your help and opinions. I know we all can't wait!

Supposedly both expansys and they will send off your phone to the uk for warranty work. Supposedly.

where do you get the $643? Is the verizon unlocked version a world phone? There's no point for an unlocked phone with only cdma/lte
I got mine from Expansys. They will take warranty returns back to ship for you to England for warranty service. That makes it easier than trying to deal with customs your self. (See a lot of warranty discussion in the General Forum, under Expansys USA Now Shipping thread, at (I think):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359169
Also, in the same thread, there are reports that Negri does not offer a warranty. I don't know if true or not.
Remember - buyer beware, and check very carefully! Good luck.
From Negri:
DEFECTIVE ITEMS: A defective item may be returned for repair within 25 days of date of purchase. If an repair is not possible we will offer a refurbished replacement. If this is not available you will be offered a store credit toward a future purchase. If you would prefer a refund (instead of a store credit), you may request a full refund, minus shipping charges. The exchange process typically takes 8-10 days to complete. Every (Non Carrier Branded) device comes with a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. After 25 days our exchange/return policy has expired, you should contact the manufacturer for repair or for warranty replacement or exchange, if your device qualifies for this. Please contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you hold is covered under their warranty. If you would like to send your device to us to send to the manufacturer you are free to do so. Please request an RMA. This will delay the warranty process by 1-2 weeks and you will be charged shipping to and from the manufacturer. You will need the original invoice from us in order to have your item repaired or exchanged by the manufacturer. Warranty varies by manufacturer, but typically warranties are valid for 1 year from purchase. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST request an RMA in order to return any device.
So, it looks like you can send it to Negri, and they'll just send it to the repair center, but charge for shipping. Lame, compared to expansys. Since you might a well just send it to the repair center yourself.
But expansys has branches in many countries, so they probably can help out more.
Yea I work for verizon, and if you purchased your phone outright then its just a simple equipment change, with no contract extention, althought you would need a micro sim for it to work so you might have to go to a verizon store for one of those. I was considering getting a verizon one but because of the google wallet thing and the brand on the back and the unknown battery life with the LTE radio I think I'd rather not, I already ordered my International Gnex from Expansys with the $20 off voucher, so I got it for $729, not a bad deal if you consider the warranty assistance. The $20 off voucher code is 20offls

I guess its again US/UK only, because HTC never introduced any type of deal for the rest of the world.
I saw that they opened it up to orders from their site as well, starting yesterday 8/2. I bought mine last week, so I submitted my info anyway, we'll see if I get anything. It'd be nice to pick up a couple extra quick chargers!
they said to wait 2-3 weeks, it just came out the other day didn't it?

well, I guess this doens't apply to us who bought straight from htc huh? unlocked on whichever carrier we went with...and apparently within that time frame of july 12-31
still submitted my info though
HTC's site is very vague on this. Right on their homepage, it says $100 off the phone AND $100 off accessories. The "and" isn't ambiguous, in my opinion. But on another page on their site, it says "or $100 off accessories if you bought elsewhere".
Has anybody contacted HTC to get clarification on this?
http://www.htc.com/us/
Promo for US customers is on their website front page. $100 off and $100 credit when purchasing on HTC.com.

Perhaps you need some refresher courses in English. The wording is clear about the offer in question. It states that if you buy the device on htc.com, you get $100 off the price of the device as well as $100 towards accessories. It also states that if you bought the device elsewhere, like from a carrier, you only qualify for the $100 accessories promo.

Perhaps htc needs help with English because many people are saying they couldn't get both.
To me it said, in the fine print, I can get both but must activate on t-mobile, sprint or Verizon. Since I'm going at&t I guess not me, huh?
Maybe I should activate on my current Verizon plan first then before switching?

So, you need to:
Buy the device from the 3 US providers outlined above OR any authorized reseller (HTC.com purchases in US seems to be sold by Digital River)
Activate it on the 3 US providers (I assume by installing the SIM card on T-Mo or activating for Spring and VZW)
Submit the form before Sep 18
So I wonder.. How long do I need to be on Verizon to qualify? Certainly interesting if it's an easy $100 but I'd much prefer to be switched over to AT&T sooner than later so maybe I shouldn't mess around..
HTC just announced free jbl reflect aware USB C headphones + 100 coupon on accessories when you purchase the phone directly from them. The jbl sell for 200.

It seems early adopters are getting shafted as we paid the same and only got a $2 USB cable as "thanks". Now they're giving away $300 in stuff. Never again HTC, never again. I wanted to keep giving them chances, but it seems they don't care.

Early adopters always get shafted. That's what happens. When has a product not decreased in price six months after release?
You can buy a new Nexus 6P for $400 now. Did the people who spent $500+ get shafted?
And I doubt anybody is going to pay $199 for those headphones. Unless the reviews end up being amazing.
Early Adopters are not "shafted".
You got to use a beautiful and fast phone for 3+ months before any of the later adopters got to. You can be a "late adopter" as well and watch while everyone else gets the latest and greatest. Its a small price to pay to be "ahead" of the game.

I agree. I held out till the end of July just to get it cheaper. Sucked waiting but in the end I got it for 50$ US with a two year contract upgrade. I will be never purchasing an LG flagship ever again. HTC has never disappointed me.

Has anyone got their E-mail yet. I'm on day 13 and still nothing.
Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/12/13262538/samsung-galaxy-note-7-amazon-accessory-refunds
So I just got of the phone with amazon and although you are outside the return period they will give refunds once they have received the products back. So when you contact Amazon choose the "phone call" option as the means to communicate with amazon on the returns.
I did this and they were very helpful. The biggest PITA part was having to box everything up individually based on how it was ordered but free ship back and refunds coming.
When I referenced the Note 7 recall they knew immediately what I was talking about so +1 for Amazon customer service
I did have a rather difficult time finding an actual phone number to call as they want to solve the worlds issues via chat or FAQs.
Here is what I used if anyone else wants it
1-888-280-4331
I used the chat feature and they set up individual returns for each item. I asked to be able to put them all together in one box but it had to be separate.
I realized that they were charging shipping. The rep said he would adjust the refund to credit the shipping fee back as well.

Same here. I have to pay $5 - $6 to refund a $10 case. Not worth the trouble

I got the $2 credit for a case, but one online chat changed all my returns to refund all the shipping.
The trouble was minimal. Print a label, drop the item in an envelope and drop it off.
They sent me prepaid labels. I was told to put all items (4 separate returns in one box) Put 4 separate labels on the box drop off at a USP location. I am doing that today, I will follow up when I get my credits.
Here's what I did.
1)Ask for the labels, explain that these are N7 items and it was out of your control
2) Ship them
3)You'll see that you're charged $6 for shipping
4)Chat with customer service after and ask them refund the shipping charges.
4) They will say yes and you'll get confirmation.
QED.
Wow, this is great to know. Thank you guys. I purchased a glass screen protector that broke trying to get off the phone and I threw it away, I'll probably be out of luck with that one, but maybe I'll ask them about it.
Samsung is going to let me keep the accessories and refund my money. I bought the led case and the clear case from the Samsung website with a coupon I had.
I will most likely sell both cases as a bundle on ebay or craiglist for cheap.
