Expansys-usa showing 100+ in stock

Very tempted but I'm bothered by news of the volume glitch. Debating whether I should wait it out or order now. :confused:

What are the benefits of going with Expansys? They are selling it for $65 more than Clove/Handtec.

I'm not exactly sure. I like how they have the phone in stock now. Apparently, Handtec is holding off on shipping to see if they can get the volume bug fixed. The price seems cheaper than the current Negrielectronics price.

Use 20OFFLS to get $20 off!

from what I am reading the volume glitch is only present on 2g networks using 900mhz and only when other devices are near by. I don't believe any north american carriers use this frequency

That's good to hear for me, not so much for my wife. She's not going to be happy..lol

they are a US vendor.

Technically the phones should be the same, but I felt better about buying from a place that ships out of the US vs the UK

Well, Handtec ships overnight -- and Samsung won't honor the warranty from either place (for US customers), because it's a UK device.

I don't know; even with the coupon, it's still more expensive.

I am not telling you where to order from. go for it. Handtec seems legit.

What I will say is handtec has stopped shipping/out of stock and clove is out of stock.
 
True. Plenty of people order from Handtec. Just note the shipping delay due to glitch (or you can email them and have them ship now according to their blog). It depends on what you're more comfortable doing. I would prefer to order from a store here in the US. It just seems like less of a hassle for me and my credit card.


Handtec blog - GNex status Looks like this has been posted already. Disregard..
 
Word of comfort,I went with Negri cause they warranty the device for a year and will handle the return of the phone to Samsung for you.sometimes you pay a little more for comfort and peace of mind

I read through their policies and I don't think they warranty the phone for a year. It looks like they put it back onto the manufacturer.

"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"

Yea thats what i meant.. They handle the process. I payed 715 with shipping. I really dont think thats bad. Keeping mymoney in the usa was somewhat important to me too
 
Negri made me Scan over an image of my Amex card and my drivers licence, kinda nervous that no one else here has reported they needed to do that...

I used my Amex, and I use google checkout all the time I know the address and info is correct...

This is the email I got from them yesterday...

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your order from Negri Electronics.

Unfortunately our credit card processing company and insurance company require more information in order to ship your order. Here are the following reasons why this may be the case;

1: The address on the credit card does not match the shipping address you requested
or
2: The credit card is not a credit card that is guaranteed
or
3: The card does not have its own Fraud Protection

We use Google Checkout because they are far superior to any Credit Card processing company worldwide.

With that being said, here is what we need from you to further process/ship your order:

1: Fax, Copy or Scan your Drivers License/Passport and Front and Back of Your credit card and email this to us. Please also fwd us the order confirmation from Google Checkout. This is an automated email that is received when the order is placed.

2: Choose another form of payment, such as Amazon Payments, Wire Transfer, Bank Check, Money Order, or Western Union. Please contact us for more information on this option.

3: Try to place your order again online, using a different card. Please ensure that the billing address matches the shipping address, or that the shipping address has been added to your credit card profile as an alternate shipping address.

4: Refuse to offer these to Negri Electronics and request that your order simply be cancelled. If we do not hear from you in 3 days we will automatically cancel this order for you. You will not be charged.

Please let us know what you decide to do. We want to let you know that we can not ship your order until we have this information. We will automatically cancel your order in 3 days of this email being sent. We are holding your item for you in the mean time.

i think so many people have ordered now that we ended up at the back of the line. last night i refreshed my order page, and it said waiting to be packed and shipped. a few minutes later i refreshed again and it went back to the "We are currently awaiting stock" status. to top it off, the "usually ships in" on my order page has gone from 3 days, to 2 days, to 1-2 days, back to 3 days, and now 1-2 days. on the main page it was doing basically the same, with it now says ships in 3 days...

EvoTronix has it for 20 dollars cheaper and they will receive stock on Mon. so today i'm prob going to cancel my order with Expansys and place a new order with EvoTronix. at least i can get in touch with them on the fly if need be! thank you, live chat!

also, EvoTronix is located out of Atlanta, GA. would take like 2 days even with standard shipping since i live in NC.

edit: looks like Expansys should have them today. they're currently moving through customs, via their FB page http://www.facebook.com/pages/eXpansys-USA/336647714042

Mine shipped yesterday, and it the tracking said it was suppose to be delivered today. But it has updated with any other information yet. Still hoping I get it today. Since it shipped yesterday, I am banking on it arriving today, otherwise what is the point of paying for next day shipping.

that's very odd that it was shipped yesterday, yet they haven't received their new shipment yet :confused:
 
After talking with them on their facebook page, even though I got shipping confirmation yesterday it didn't actually ship. Dumb, but oh well.

They informed me that Fedex picked it up today and my tracking information will be live tonight and I should get it tomorrow.
