[Q] Anyone order their XPlay From Expansys?

For $275, it seems too good to pass up. Has anyone received one from them? Are they new in the box, and do they come with any accessories, like how the AT&T version comes with a dock?

Don't bother...I ordered at £191...waited. waited...nothing. As far as I am aware they still haven't shipped. £154 at chitterchatter.co.uk and it arrived earlier than promised with extras and a 16gb card..bargain.

... I got my Xperia play from Argos at £179.99 also with a 16gb memory card. £179.99 is about $280.

Bought mine from Expansys a few months ago, before the massive price drop.
Came within a few days, all boxed with 16gb microsd and all the extra stuff.
Kinda wish I'd have waited since they're now half what I paid, but I wasn't to know

ordered mine from expansys for 230 euro around end of september, and they reported shipping would start at 4th october.
After a bunch of updates it's now officially (praying god) delayed to 15th october.
I'm seriously concerned that i'm gonna receive this phone the next price drop lol

I'm also w8ing now orderet it last week.. just recievd mail from them:
We receive information from our purchaser that they will be some delay for Xperia Play as there is huge demand since the price drop but not sufficient amount of stock made from SE so for the moment we do not know specific ETA for this product.

this is starting to get irritating.
Now on the website i read "shipping november 1"...
1 of november? are they effin joking? It's almost one ENTIRE month of delay from the initial shipping date of 4 of october...
I'm losing my patience. Is there anywhere else i can buy this phone at that price? I'd be more than happy to cancel my order from those idiots

I spoke to the managing director, they are getting lots of stock in on the 18th which goes live on the 22nd. £155 delivered with £5 credit and a 16GB card as well as some nice extras.

thanks man but i don't know if i can get this, i'm from italy, is it sim-free? I mean, i can read that it comes with a simcard with 5 free bucks in it, but i wonder if i can throw that in the toilet and use my italian simcard..
If that's possibile, then i'll be more than happy to send expansys to hell

Give it a week or two then price will drop if you looking to buy it pay as you go, otherwise ebay is the only option. Price wise based on spec is reasonable

I have ordered mine from amazon.co.uk
I am trying to get one from japan i believe they already have it there now. If i manage to get one from there i will cancel the amazon order
I have been waiting for the LGG4 for a long time, really looking forward to this device

I know you want this phone badly, and rightly so it's truly amazing.
But I would wait, the great deals don't start to surface until a week before release. You won't be able to get the phone any earlier than 28th May so just stay strong! :highfive:

Mobile Phones Direct have it as in stock available for delivery tomorrow on their website. Deals with EE and Vodafone, showing SIM free for £489.00 including delivery. Not bad. http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/shopping-basket

Production Delays?

So, I have a gut feeling that Elephone is having a tough time producing this phone. Why,?
1) GearBest originally had a shipping date of Nov 23. This is now the middle of Dec and they currently have no stock. This is despite taking thousand of pre-orders. Every time I contact them they say it is packed and ready for shipping and to wait another 1-2 days . . rinse and repeat. In reality they have no stock.
2) Coolicool have moved their shipping date to the middle of Dec
3) The only reviews I see on the web are from (what appear to be) hand picked reviewers, or people just using the stock renders.
4) No one on Aliexpress appears to have got one despite thousands of orders.
Interesting for a phone which was supposed to start shipping a week ago.
I want mine!

I think Elephone underestimated the amount of pre orders they would receive and are shipping first to customers the purchased the S7 directly from them rather than stocking resellers.
I know Gearbest have the Black 4gb/64gb in stock - about 190 pieces left - for $229 as mine has just been shipped.
As for the other colours/configurations I'm not sure. However I do know the Blue 4gb/64gb is due in stock at both Gearbest & GeekBuying on the 11th Dec as I've spoken to them both.
I originally wanted a the Blue version but didn't want to wait until the new year to get the phone in my hands as it's a Xmas gift to myself (which I do every year) so I changed my order to the Black one which should be here by mid Dec.
So the moral of the story is if you want an S7 ASAP go check out the Black version at Gearbest.

The thing that really annoys me with GearBest is that they stated a shipping date when you pre-order, but clearly haven't secured the stock to do so. Now when contacted, they know they don't have stock, but won't admit to it. Instead it is "please wait 1 or 2 days more". Honesty goes a long way. I wonder if the other resellers got stuck with this too.
I'd be interested to know when your one arrives.
Mine is now marked as shipped. but I think GearBest are playing games again. If I go to DHL I can see a shipping label has been printed but the parcel hasn't actually been picked up from GearBest. Having worked in a number of companies closely associated with large despatching operations, I can't see why you would tell DHL (a priority shipping service) there is a parcel to pick up, then leave it sitting in Despatch for over 24 hours. . . More games.

My personal opinion is that Elephone hasn't delivered (so far) on it's promises to resellers. With the S7 looking like its going to be Elephones biggest ever seller - by far, I do think they gave all major resellers the same original delivery date and have struggled to ramp up production. I think this is the case as I've spoken to eFox, Geekbuying, Gearbest and Dealsmachine and they have all initially said they would deliver in late November and now they all all saying mid December.

I'll certainly post here when it arrives, although I went with standard delivery rather than DHL so not expecting it for a few weeks.

This is nothing new for Gearbest and is the reason I chose not to go with DHL, I've ordered a few products via this method with GB and its always taken 3-4-5 days from getting my tracking info for my package to physically enter DHLs system - I've also been hit with import tax a few times which has never happened to me with other shipping companies.
Finally, I hope your receive your device quickly and with no issues, be sure to keep us updated with the situation

So the plot thickens. . . .
Using the tracking information I could see that DHL got a shipping notification on the first day . . . . then everything stopped. I have had a lot of things shipped via DHL and other courier services and it is very unusual for a priority service to not update for 24 hours plus.
GearBest via support tickets and LiveChat, just kept telling me to wait 2 more days, wait 3 days for an investigation, wait 2 days for tracking information etc etc etc.
I ended up doing my own investigation by calling DHL on their local contact centre.
Result?
Singapore Customs were holding the phone with concerns that it contained hazardous materials. Specifically the DHL operator questioned whether the phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I suspect that the designs are so similar that Customs may be mis-identifying these units when x-raying them, as Note 7s are banned from all carriers. As GearBest are the shippers only they can update the shipping information to get it released.
So I contacted GearBest again and twice got "please wait 3-4 days for an investigation". I got a bit stroppy with them at this point and just got a notification through from DHL that the parcel appears to be moving again.
So if you see your Elephone S7 stop moving for an extended period of time on DHL. Start questioning it.

Thanks for the update.
It makes me wonder if Gearbest are writing 'S7' on the documentation and that's what caused the delay?
Also once the parcel has entered the shipping system there's not really too much Gearbest can do to help hurry to process along, unless its a documentation issue - But can see why this can be annoying.
Anyway, glad your package is in the move again, hope you get it soon.
Mine has just left HK airport so hoping it'll be arriving at the UK sorting centre in the next few days with no customs issues.......fingers crossed!

I ordered my S7 64GB via Gearbest on Oct 21, was delivered on 28th Nov to UK.
Given that 22nd Nov was the date which GB said the stocks will arrive, it was pretty fast delivery.
I shipped via Priority Mail some £1-2 extra & there was no customs charges.
(Using the 'courier shipment' option is known to attract customs charges. Best of luck.)

It was a documentation issue. SG Customs held it until the shipper (GearBest) finally contacted them to update the shipping information. They only did this after sitting on the issue for a week of me getting increasingly agitated with the "Please wait" responses from GearBest.

Thought it might have been. The black has been in stock most of the way through.

I finally have my hands om my 64GB Blue model and I am quite impressed so far. Usually with Chinese electronics I purchase there always seems to be some quirk or weird behaviour that takes the gloss off the product. After 24 hours, I've yet to find one.

I preordered a green version, but it seems there are production troubles. This morning gearbest sent me a mail:
Thank you for your recent order at Gearbest.com
This is an update about following item:
We are sorry to let you know that we cannot ship it at this time

So, nobody knows when the green version will come out,
and after all the troubles with touchscreen, gps, no source code released i choose the refund. If the situation improve i'll buy it again.

Question Pixel 6 pro UK preorder and delivery date

I managed to preorder on the 20th cloudy white 128gb directly from google delivery date 27th Oct.
256gb black out of stock.
In the uk we don’t seem to have 512gb version.
Currently on google no delivery dates mentioned at all.
Anyone else preorder one?

Ordered the 256gb black version, started with 28th for delivery, now showing by 26th.
Probably good the 512Gb one isn't offered in the UK yet as don't need it but would have probably ordered it anyway

Ordered mine Cloudy white, through EE at 7.00pm 19/10, called during the announcement and they called me back at 7pm. Got it ordered fine, but no delivery date yet. They said I was the first one to order one, which was cool!

Most people that ordered online have delivery dates set at 27-30 october. If you have no delivery date, you were not the first one.

Ordered the 256gb black 6 Pro on the 19th (launch night) and currently showing a delivery date of 26th October from the official Google store.

6 Pro 256 GB Black. Placed an order as soon as the ѕhitty checkout stopped erroring, which was like 2 hours after it became "available". "Delivered by 26 Oct" order status online. Meaning they would have to ship today or tomorrow.
It absolutely sucks аss that there is no 512 GB version in UK, another retarded decision from Google.

Got mine from Curry's coming 26th black 128gb

It could also be that EE are a little slow on the system, same happened when I ordered the P4XL the date was only updated the day before delivery. Fingers crossed.

Ordered mine from Google store this morning and it's showing Nov 23rd delivery date. Will this likely change?

128gb Pro from the Google store UK - delivery "by" 26/10. Still got over 30gb free on my pixel 5 so didnt see any point doubling space.

Delivery date of the 27 October for me

For me it's 26th the problem is that i'm abroad and be back Friday 29th. I tried to contact them to reschedule delivery, but I can only cancel it, I cannot change the date. How do they deliver? I know I]it may be a stupid question, but ow I'm stressed.

If previous ones are anything to go by then they come by courier, so you should be able to select a re-delivery slot to suits you.

I had the same issues with googles 0% offer. The phone is £849 yet klarna set the limit as £830. That would be fine as it was meant to take a £35 deposit but it wouldnt let me. Just kept saying "payment declined"
Wasnt a big deal for me as i just paid outright for it, was only going to do the monthly payment as it was 0% but bit ridiculous that it wouldnt let me.

So I received a text from Google an hour ago that my Pixel will be delivered today, the 25th, by DPD. It could be bull**** though, because DPD tracking is saying "We've received your order details, and we're expecting your parcel shortly". No email, no order status change online yet.
EDIT: Email received, partial shipping, phone only, not the case.

Just got my dispatch email from Google with an expected delivery of tomorrow (26th) with DPD 1 day shipping. Google store has updated with DPD tracking number but not yet tracking on their site.
Not had a text.

Nothing for me yet. Still says expected by tomorrow though so hopefully get something soon
