xda store Kaiser shipping update?

Begining to lose all faith in XDA Store. Ordered 8 days ago as "in stock". Not shipped. Emailed Richard yesterday. He responded they were expecting shipment today to fill all backorders and have extras. The day is now over, no email of shipment notice. Furthermore the Kaiser model has apparently been removed from their site. I can only believe Richard lied in his email. That they do not know when any kaisers will be received. Any shipment they would be recieving would have its own tracking, delivery date should not be suspect. XDA store fraudulently took my money and does not care the in the least about its customers. Richard knows exactly who is waiting for their paid merchandise and does not have the decency to tell them they have problems. Is any one else waiting for a shipment from XDA? All of you that received yours apparently were simply lucky. The Kaiser is available from other vendors (yes, at higher price) and he has prevented me from ordering elsewhere. VERY Low class outfit.

The day is not over for them as I was notified at 9 or 10PM the day mine shipped. I would email Richard again and just ask if they came in and did yours ship. Pretty simple.
d

this is what i received from him around 4pm EST:
yes, they came in just a while ago... over the cutoff time @ the
warehouse (1::30pm EDT) . I begged them to please process them and they
will do their best.
Good news is that they come with the TomTom and the US adapter for the
plug.

the latest update....at 8.30pm EST
seems like they were not able to ship them out as DHL already had done
their last pickup for the day. this means you will have it for sure have
it on Tuesday.

This sounds a bit harsh to me. I ordered from them just a few days ago. I haven’t received any info back from Richard yet but lets be realistic....this phone is a VERY hot item and I am sure he is inundated with requests like "I ordered 10 minutes ago....can you send me my tracking number..etc, etc,etc"
Getting items shipped to the U.S. like this is not just a piece of cake. It takes a bit of time and a bit more patience. I have no affiliation with store.xda in any way but just think that the assumption that someone lied to you because you haven’t received an email from them is a bit presumptuous. So is the assumption that other stores have them available to ship immediately.
"The key to everything is patience....You get the chicken by hatching the egg..not by smashing it"
just my 2cents.

thank you
My main business is a an investment advisor. I am held to very high service standards by government agencies (your investment results may vary oower). I can not tell people i have something, charge them for it and not give it to them and stay in business very long. Frankly the few dollars I saved was not worth it. Richard knew yesterday the shipment would not arrive in time to ship and should have said so. Frankly his lack of proactive damage control is very disappointing and it is very clear they simply do not care about customers. I do thank you for those last few posts with updates. At least I have been able to acquire all the immediate accessories while waiting (screen protectors, 6gb microSD etc.)

mjm,
Yes, there is no certainty that Richard would know exactly when his stock would arrive. When I asked him this same question yesterday -- about the stock he is expecting...he was candid..here is his reply:
Yes. Hopefully early enough so all can be processed for shipping out again
Regards,
Richard

Even AT&T stores could not forecast precisely when they would receive some of their stock... But I agree that he should have warned customers about stock issues before charging the accounts...

I ordered on Sep.30 (last sunday) so it's been 6 days since i ordered and i have yet to recieve news yet. When i asked him yesterday he told me what he told you guys, that a shipment was coming in on friday and that all the backorders will be fulfilled. Since i have not recieved a notice, im guessing that the shipment came late and they couldnt send out my kaiser, what sux more is that i live in canada so it'll take a week for me to get mine, so either next friday or the following monday

hmm... mjm2950,
why would there be any lying going on? The next shipment was coming in on Friday, as per the messages, and it did indeed come in on Friday, just not on time to be processed into inventory, prepared for shipping and sent out again. Actually, they were ready, but as you can read in the messages, there was no more DHL pickups at that time.
I feel that even with the issue that it appeared to be in stock (which was corrected), the communication has been great with anyone that mailed and that honest answers where provided. It is a p.i.t.a. to work around the scheduling mishaps with some suppliers and that is what happened with XDA receiving stock on this item.
If you were not happy with the wait, why didn't you just Cancel your order and go elsewhere and pay more? I am sure someone else sitting in the queue would be happy to receive that phone.......
PS: I heard that this issue with the stock of the phone will be fixed with a good and reliable supplier they found and also that they will offer the Tilt with contract sometime next week or so.

Mr Byte
Thank you for you input. I email twice, only one repsonse. The lying was when they sold a product they did not have and charged my card the day of order. Anyway we will never see eye to eye on the service issues. My standards are signifcanly higer across all three of my companies.

To be quite honest, i work in a very customer service driven enviroment, and i know how things work... I know that richard himself does not control the website, but is merely an employee of the company that does, richard has no control directly on the site, he may make requests to the people that do, but thats it... every company is that way..
Richard has provided by far the greatest customer service i have experienced in a long time, he is always prompt and polite when dealing with him, and also relays the information accurately as its given to him. As with any customer service representative we are all just merely puppets on a string...
As for you, you are a consumer, as a consumer you have the right to make a purchase with whomever you choose. If you feel that you have made an error in judgement then you do have the right to take your business elsewhere... Im sure that you could cancel your order and get your money back and perhaps buy one on ebay and have it shipped out right away..

I think I posted before - there were probably 5 email that I sent to get 2 back. I went as far as to go to the website and use their form just in case something was going whacky.
And like the other poster - the purchase posted mins after I made the purchase. A week later - and it was still not sent. And I got two email giving me the "it's almost here". It wasn't until I sent a "Cancel my Order" that my phone was ready to ship... :-|

It took over 48 hours to post the funds back to my account.
:-(
The other interesting part to this is that I bought a XDA-Membership to go with this to lower the price. That wasn't refunded. I decided not to ask for it to be refunded because I want to support this site.
Free $40 for leading me on for a week.
Mark that against my Premier order from AT&T: Ordered at 1:12AM on Friday night. 2 day fed-ex. Arrived on monday at 11:00 am (a day early).
You don't have to have great customer service when you do what you say you will... .......... ....

.. that is normal. When a credit is issued, it posts some when during the night and it doesn't appear on your account for at least 48 hours. I have seen cases where it even takes more, some warn on 30 days........
Glad you got all working now, with a deprecated Kaiser though

Yea I don't think they were doing any big time investments with your 700 bucks in those 48 hours. Hey they did you a favor you saved what 600 bucks and got the Barbie phone....Good luck with that. There certainly are alot more happy campers with XDA than not. I am certainly very happy ATT was so customer oriented for you and I think you made the right choice in phone for you,,,,,,...... )

rec'd Kaiser today, but not accessories
Came home to my phone today. YEAH, It is very nice. But XDA did not ship the car charger I ordered with it. Plenty of room in DHL box. Just emailed them to check on it. Now I will be up late playing with it.

Congrats your going to love it.....

Ordering From UK Clove

ok can someone please tell me what kind of duties you pay when u order from clove from the uk to usa? i want to know should i order there or order from expansys usa. expansys usa is charging like 940 for the unit where as clove uk with the conversion rate is about 760
thanks

u pay the straight price and shipping only.

I was also considering buying from them, but would appreciate feedback from anyone who's dealt with them. How is their service? How quickly do they action (dispatch) your order? Do they charge you immediately, or when they dispatch?
Thanks.

My shipment was delayed by 1-2 days since they required some additional confirmation of my shipping address in the US (another complication was I was shipping to WORK, different from my billing address!)
I emailed them asking about my order, at which point they said 'oh yea we require some additional infor since you're a "first time customer"', so I sent them a copy of a random bill, and a copy of the top of my paystub (since it had my work address on it -- they didn't ask for this). Said I was good to go and they shipped it later that day...
however I anticipated receiving (via DHL) this afternoon -- tracking now says its "on hold" -- I called DHL, and the phone did not clear customs. Apparently DHL did not add it to the cargo manifest so it was not cleared while in the air. Plane lands, they unload, have no record of customs clearance so they hold it. I had to send DHL a copy of my 1040, and apparently they do customs clearing late at night, which means my X1 is hanging out in Ohio right now (I'm in ATL); hopefully it gets moving, and FAST, once they clear it. But they said that could take 1-2 business days.
I am going to NYC on Wednesday, I REALLLLY want the X1 before then (you know, Google Maps n stuff )
But the Clove price was GREAT! Anticpated paying much more, especially considering other retailers are listing in the 8-900s+, where I thought I would have to be paying...

I ordered from Clove and they were awesome. Excellent communication, great price and delivered as promised. They notified me ahead of time about the credit card verification process (which is a good thing) so that didn't slow my order down. Other than that catch ordering through them, it was a smooth, easy transaction.
I ordered back at the beginning of October and didn't ship immediately so I can't comment on the processing time to ship for in stock items. However, I got an email on 10/20 saying my X1 would ship on 10/27 and they were right on. Also, my card was not charged until it was shipped.
Bottom line, I'd highly recommend them on price, service and quality. Not to mention super fast DHL 2 day shipping from the UK (for impatient people like me).
Hope that helps

Clove was perfect. i had preorders on two other sites that were selling for $950-1000. 425 L + 37 L shipping = 462 L total. In USD, it translated to $739.77. $250+ cheaper than mobileplanet (expansys) or mobilecityonline.
ordered on oct 22nd. received an e-mail on friday the 24th regarding incoming inventory and authorization of credit card, shipped out monday morning the 27th, and received the 29th of wednesday in CT.
interestingly, the box is not sealed (i.e. didn't have the sticker that says nobody has opened it before). did anybody else's have one of those?

I noticed there was no seal too but completely forgot about it when I saw the X1, lol. It looked like they threw in a couple little fliers/ads for software and accessories so maybe that's why.

nice i wanted to know this also given that i was thinkin about ordering from clove also so how much in total were you goes getting them and what kinda shipping did you pay and get overnight? 2 day

read my post? it's all answered there.

I ordered with Clove on the morning of the 24th (this monday), they stated that i would be getting the device on the 30th or 31th (they should be getting stock on the 29th), i just found out now that they're only getting stock on the 12th of November and i had to ask why my order wasn't shipped yet. They didn't warn me before hand that i wasn't getting my order on the date they stated...

I ordered from Clove, UK.
1. I ordered it last Sat online (before the stock dried up )
2. Called early Monday and had some trouble trying to get my Credit card company to give Clove the authorization number (Clove needs it to verify buyer but my CC company doesn't allow distribution to anyone. Finally, Clove just sent it out anyway). I got it WED!!!! No issues with Customs, etc.
3. I paid $712 for the phone (unbranded/unlocked) and 2 Day DHL shipping (which is almost $300 less than other competitors). It was a retail version and brand new.
4.. Their customer service was outstanding, really tried to help me get this phone. They shipped within hours of CC authorization and approval. I got Tracking Number within hours also. They if anything, are too cautious (thats a good thing) with their verification of orders.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND, VERY HONEST SELLER.

I ordered on the 27th of October (I think you meant 27th as well) and haven't gotten any email update yet. Which worries me because now I have to wait as well....uugggh.. Feel like ordering somewhere else then but they say patience is a virtue... T_T
EDIT: As far as a company I ordered from them my Touch Pro back in August and had no issues with the service. Just wish the x1 was more widely available.

Clove The Best !!
I ordered my X1 on friday 10/24, had to call cc company to verify purchase.
received my phone yesterday 10/29.
excellent company and customer service !!
Cost $ 765 with DHL international.
Highly recommended !!
much better than Expansys who tried to charge me $965 for the phone, then tried to tell me that Clove is not a good company when i cancelled their order.
Cheers.

Did Clove tell you to call your CC company or did you do this on your own?

Clove sucks.
I pre-ordered on October 8th thinking that I was assured a unit. Sadly I was mistaken. On Tuesday I had sent an email wondering what had happened to my unit. They replied asking me to send them a recent credit report or transaction number from my credit card company. I choose to send the transaction number since it seemed a safer solution. After checking my credit history I was amazed to see that I was yet to be charged. I sent an email telling them I could not send a transaction number since no transaction was placed, and decided to fax them a credit report stating my address. A day later they emailed me and offered their condolences as they had sold out of Black units and said that the people who confirmed the security check first would receive them first as there was a lot of demand. I told them they had only sent me a security check after requesting information as to the whereabouts of my order. They of course told me all security checks emails were sent out on the same day. This is absolutly absurred.
So to clarify:
-I ordered on the 8th of October
-First batch came in on the 24th
-They sold out on 27th
-Received email for security check on 28th
-Sent security check on 29th (early in the morning)
-Declined first batch on 30th
-Promised (?) a unit on the next shipment, November 12th.
My question is how they can advertize a product for pre-order if they sell the units on a first come first serve basis. Their clumpsyness is unactable.

Well I just got off the phone with Expansys. They tried to switch my order to a US order to "stop me from paying duties and customs taxes." The guy also told me that they always ship US orders from their UK store from the US and Expansys currently has 300 back orders right now.
The last part is the only bit of truth I got out of him. I've ordered from Expansys UK before and it came from the UK and I didn't have to pay any taxes. All he was trying to do was make me pay the higher price on the US website and wait longer. What a crock of #$%^
Long story short, I'm keeping my order with Clove even if I have to wait until Nov 12th for it to ship out. I might try eBay but I don't know if I'm going to risk it not to mention the prices are way too high.

So are you saying that if you ordered from the UK expansys you wouldn't get it anytime? Or are u saying that the US expansys has 300 back orders?

+1 for Clove.
I ordered a TP back in August over a weekend, they processed the transaction on Monday (I sent them an email with the 6-digit transaction number for confirmation) and shipped it out same day. It missed the outbound DHL flight that night but was on its way the next day; had the TP in my hands by 11am Wednesday, west coast US.
For clarification, Clove needs you to confirm your CC only if you're a new customer. This is so that they don't end up exporting the phones to bad orders (black market, etc). As long as you've got your billing/shipping info all straight with your CC issuer (you might also call ahead to let them know to expect the charge in GB Pounds), there should be no major problems, except waiting for stock to arrive.

The guy was very vague and when I'd ask him to clarify he kept asking me how I wanted it shipped (Ground, 2 day, or Next Day)?!?! He made the statement that Expansys had 300 back orders (I would assume UK since the US store is still a preorder). He also said that they are supposed to get more next week but that the shipment wouldn't be enough to fill all the back orders. He was basically telling me that anyone in the US that ordered form the UK store really ordered from the US store (they would hand off the transaction to US). I should have hung up and called back when he said that because that is a lie.
Bottom line I don't know what the call really accomplished except that this guy was trying to scam me. I am inclined to believe the 300 back orders because of the demand for the phone. Take it with a grain of salt though.

I thought it was slightly strange that with all the demand for the silver one they had 100+ listed this morning. I'm going to call them and see if they actually have some in stock or if they are just lying.

[Official] Play Store orders & shipping thread!

Updated Dec 6 1:30AM EST
Below is specific only to the orders from the first day the Nexus 4 was live.
Limbo 1 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 2 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 3 order fulfillment: ~91% (the majority of orders fall into this category)
"fulfillment" = shipped
Above is my educated guess on the status of the shipments that have been going out. I'm constantly tracking this and several other sources for continuing information.
Current status of orders and shipments:
Points below are confirmed:
First major batch shipped Nov 19 (upgraded to Next Day Air).
All orders that took place on the 13th that were back-ordered will be upgraded to Next Day Air for free.
Play Store Customer Service do not have any relevant information about your order. Calling them is nothing short of a complete waste of time.
Orders have not been shipped on a first-come first-serve basis. There is no pattern to the shipments, it is seemingly random. We have indisputable evidence of this.
Addendum to above: It is believed that we are finally going in order. Some of the later orders were shipped first due to an incomplete manifest.
Many people have noticed the last updated date on the Play orders page has changed. No one is certain yet what this might mean.
Points below are likely:
Logistics have been outsourced to UPS.
Order mechanics "slid" during the initial rush of the first few minutes of the product going live. This caused several issues (including an incomplete manifest sent to UPS).
Status of your order (limbos):
1) Order placed. No e-mail of any kind (including order confirmation) received.
2) Order placed. Order confirmation received. No other e-mail of any kind received.
3) Order placed. Order confirmation received. Back-order e-mail received.

Tentative US order time: 09:00AM PST
Changed "confirmed" to "tentative". 09:00AM PST is most likely, but you should be watching out regardless.
These are some of my favorite threads here! We all heard that the Nexus 4 is now official but I'd wager that a lot of us are waiting for preorders to open up on the Play Store.
Post the usual "I ordered!" "It shipped!" etc. here! I, personally, cannot wait for this guy. Just sold my S3 for it.
I did call Google to ask if they were going to open pre-orders for the device. Doesn't look like it this time around, but I was told that you will be able to purchase on November 13th and that stock would start shipping "either on the 13th or the 17th," whatever that means.
Current information (as of Nov 12):
No one knows what time the purchase will go live.
Best guesses are sometime in the morning of the 13th (office hours), or at 00:00 PST. I'm personally leaning toward the former. (NEW: see below)
There will be no pre-order on the Play Store.
Check here for specific country availability.
Check here for more information on shipping and handling for your country.
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.
Taxable charges, if any, depend on what state you're ordering from.
We do not know what shipping options will be available. Right now, only 2-day shipping is confirmed. We are hopeful for an overnight option at launch.
News added Nov 10:
Android Police got a little clarification from Google-- the rep said pretty much exactly what we've been assuming for the past couple of weeks. They also agree with me that the button will be more likely to go live in the morning sometime, rather than at midnight. See source here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-shipments-start-november-13th-no-pre-orders/
News added Nov 13:
A German Google employee has revealed that the Nexus 4 should be selling at "around breakfast time" in Germany. He also mentioned that would be about 8-9AM. This would lead us to believe that the order form will go live at 0:00PST as originally anticipated. Germany is 9 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time-- aka, 2AM Central, 3AM EST.[/url]

im guessing on nov 13th but they really didnt say.

From the Play Store:
Coming soon!
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th

Sure. But the Play Store says you can purchase it on the 13th.

I would imagine that means a direct purchase. It doesnt mention when pre-orders will start. I for one will definitely be pre-ordering (if possible) this phone. Just hope I can get around £160 for my HTC Desire HD with lots of cases and accessories included

My trusty Atrix 4G.
It served as my go-between phone when I went from Note to S3, too. Got a clean CM10 on it, runs like a charm.
Sorry that you're stuck with a Berry, haha. :angel:

My Inc S broke a month ago, I have been stuck with a £10 Nokia dumbphone waiting for this phone! It can't come soon enough...

+1 I want to be first in line

I'll most definitely be getting one of these. The price is good, it looks good, and I really dig the wireless charging. I've many times where I'd just put my phone on my desk, forgot to connect the charger, and fall asleep just to wake up with a (mostly) depleted battery. Finally a worthy replacement for my ageing Nexus one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the wireless dock is not available for quite a while.

Here's to hoping they do same day delivery this time around which may explain no pre order date...

Just shipped mine off! I was hoping to be able to mostly cover the N4 with what I got back from it. Turns out that I actually made money in the trade.
Very excited!! :laugh:

It's not too big of a concern. The wireless charging is a more of a luxury than anything. The most important thing is the option is available; the aftermarket solutions either adds thickness or look just plain ugly.

Is anyone picking up their pre-order Note 7 from Sam's Club today???

I order mine on the 6th and was told to come back on the 19th to pick it up. Wonder if someone receive a call from Sam's Club to pick-up the Note 7 today.

its not the 19th

I called. Was told the phones aren't in-store and won't be available until consumer opening time at 10a tomorrow. I was going to be there at 0730 with my business membership. Glad I called.

Same here, but they called me. The rep asked what time I was coming in if I'd like to make an appointment. I told him 7:30 as the pre-order paper said anytime 7:30 - 8:30 (PM). He looked it up and said he's the first one coming in at 9:00. I'd have been upset if I found that out the hard way.
So, I'll be there at 9:00. The extra $150 gift card from Sam's was really the deciding factor for me.

P20 Pro Dual Sim availability in the UK (with the free headphones deal)

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew which retailers in the UK are taking pre-order for a sim free P20 Pro dual sim variant (as part of the free Bose Headphones deal)?
I have looked at the following retailers so far and none of them seem to have the dual sim variant,
Carphone Warehouse
John Lewis
Vodafone
Very
O2
EE
Three UK seems to have the dual sim variant, but they are only available on Pay monthly deals and I am looking for sim free deals.
Anyone who know about the availability in the UK, can you please share with others?
Thanks

I am in exactly the same boat. Waiting on Amazon to see if they list as a pre order before launch date. Obviously running out of time.
I am toying with the idea of buying through three on a pay monthly and then cancelling the contract and paying it off. Need to do more digging on this but think you get a 20% discount to pay off early which makes it under £700 (I think)

Thanks Daz_2000.
I plan to call Three to get this clarified and see how much it comes up to after cancelling. I am hoping you can still keep the headphones and that it doesn't affect the credit ratings
I will post an update after I have spoken with Three.
Cheers!

Hi daz_2000,
Just finished speaking to Three about the contract and they say, it needs to be paid in full of the remaining contract period. So, I did the math and even for the cheapest plan they have, it comes up to £940 (£99 upfront + £35x24), which is £140 more than buying it sim free.
Can't decide if I want to pay that much extra money for a dual SIM variant...

I think you should get 20% discount to cancel. It's mentioned in their terms...
"Lump sum equivalent to the total of the Monthly
Charges remaining during the Minimum Term of your
agreement less a variable discount, currently 20%. We
reserve the right to vary the amount of the percentage
discount from time to time."
Link. http://www.three.co.uk/termspdf/Essential__Plan_PriceGuide_190318.pdf
E.g. pay £99 for handset on 24 month deal at £35 per month.
Then cancel after first month.
So I would have paid £99 + £35 + £644 = £778
The 664 is 23 months x 35 -20%

Hi daz_2000,
Yes, I did check the same terms and conditions on their site after speaking to the customer assistant, who clearly mislead me in the first place.
After checking the terms and conditions and having spoken to an another customer assistant, he confirmed that the lump sum is less 20% of the remaining contract.
So, I have now ordered a P20 Pro from Three, as I am losing patience and it seems the best deal to get a dual SIM in the UK with the free headphones
Looking forward to getting the phone on Friday
Cheers and thanks for your comments!

Just pulled the trigger on the phone from three based on this so fingers crossed as I will be cancelling too to get the discount ?

That's great. I haven't received any confirmation yet. I placed the order over the phone. Called them yesterday chasing for the confirmation and they said I shall get it all tomorrow morning. I hope they don't mess up with the confirmation on pre-order bit by sending it all tomorrow.
Wish things were simpler in this world!!!

I ordered Tuesday from three and I'm still waiting for confirmation.

Three told me they haven't got stock from Huawei yet. But they still said I would get phone latest Monday.

Argh... Typical Pre-order frustrations!! Last time I experienced it was when I pre-ordered Nexus 6P (by Huawei).
It still says Estimated delivery to be the 6th April on their website, so I am going to keep hoping

Aaarggh... my order confirmation email states:
Estimated delivery date:* Friday, 6th April
If there are any changes to this date we'll let you know by email.
No email yet but after the above and someone commenting earlier that they hadn't received the stock from Huawei i'm not holding out much hope for tomorrow....

I arranged to work from home tomorrow, thinking it will be delivered tomorrow. So, they are getting some feedback alright, this evening!!

Problem is in my experience you don't hear anything till about 10pm the evening before delivery (when a dispatch/delivery notice comes through) no way of telling before then, even calling in gets mixed results!.
I'm just resigned to getting it whenever, problem is i'm super impatient as my s9 sucks (battery and call issues).

But I a hoping they would know if they have got the stock today to be able to dispatch it tomorrow?
I believe a lot of us are in the same boat of being impatient Though I am still more than happy with my nearly 3 years old Nexus 6P (not rubbing in, promise!)

I called three again. They confirmed mine will be out for delivery tomorrow and I'll get a text in morning with delivery slot. Not holding my breath. But fingers crossed!
