This is ridiculous. They never announce anything and now soft gold is out. It ships immediately now? The gunmetal cant ship immediately or even remotely close to week at a whopping 10 days. This company proves to not care about much. Once your money is in theirs hands its a crapshoot apparently. Very fair customer service i see. Still waiting for the first update other than they took my money since december 22nd. Wont ship, wont update and live chat wont tell me anything. This phone better be worth the wait. My standards are now unbearably high for this unbelievable Wait time for the damn thing to even ship in the first place.
Why can this ship faster? They were selling the Gumetal before and now this can just ship right off the factory floor?
It took me 4 days to get my phone, even, it could have arrived within 3 days, but that day was Thanksgiving...
Maybe they have too much demand about the gun metal version, and because they'd been building they soft gold one, they have a lot of them on stock...

Take a gander at this site here. It is called daydeal.com and sells almost anything you can imagine, even for the vogue.

Yeah. So far they are about $50 richer because of me and will probably get more money out of me in the future. Just a word of advice............ Never use there free shipping because they take forever to ship out. Always use Priority Mail at minimum. Its not that I don't like waiting, its just that it buggs me to know that they are holding on to something I paid for 3 days ago and its just being shiped out.
i have used them a number of occasions, their stuff is good for the price. free shipping is worth it if u don't need it right away. i usually get it in about a week or so. i don't see the need to pay shipping when i can get it for free.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I ordered an Nexus One engraved today morning at around 1am. I wake and I find out that it has been shipped and will arrive tomorrow. Is engraving really that fast (They do mention that it will ship within 72 hours)?

It should take 1-2 days longer. I would call google.
1) No, it does NOT take 1-2 days longer. They still ship out the same day almost all the time
2) It's because it's not engraved on the back. It's "silk-screened" on (printed on, not engraved in)
I ordered mine on Thursday and got it Monday with the engraving.
Bad news though...even if you have a defective phone and need to return it, its an additional $45 According to HTC anyway. I wanted to send mine back for a replacement (3g issues, of course) but decided it wasnt worth $45 plus shipping plus loosing my customizing over the chance that another would be better. Its really a no-win situation they put you in.
Thanks for the information.
gospeed.racer: I did not know that HTC would charge you a fee to fix/replace a defective phone if it's engraved. That really sucks because the warranty should cover it regardless of it being engraved. I just hope mine does not have any issues.
I am sure if you fought hard enough they would help you, but I was pretty pissed when I was talking to them and they were standing firm. I can understand that the replacement would not be engraved, but the phone was (at that time) less than 24 hours old and had (has) issues. I was very close to calling mastercard and inquiring about a chargeback.
Well... I received mine yesterday and it was engraved. That was quick.
As far as I can see I have not come across any issues. Still messing around with it.
hmm, i dont think that information is correct. i had mine engraved and had it replaced because of dust issues under 14 days and was not charged anything however i was sent a brand new unit and lost my engraving. not to mention. the new unit has the same issue of dust but i can live with it. i miss my engraving though
Same case here......
I ordered my phone ytd nite but when I woke up,I received the "order shipped" email!!
Are they that "efficient"???

As already stated in this thread, yes, that is normal.
This has been posted like 3 different times before. This is normal. I had to return my old T-Mobile nexus one and I didn't get the engraving back, but I personally didn't like it. Now I have an att nexus one and its literally perfect.
I bought a nexus one today from someone locally, and at first I didn't noticed any dust under the screen, but when i got it back to work and looked at it more, i noticed a little bit. The N1 person told me that they wouldn't be able to send me a new one because it had the engraving of the other person that had bought it. So this thread gives me hope that they might just send me a new one!! I really hope they do, haha The screen has a few more dings in it than i noticed when first looking at it. I got it for 400 bucks, tho, so hopefully that was a good deal.
I can answer my own question... NOT FROM SIMPLYELECTRONICS.NET
Why?
Trying to deal with them has been harder than performing brain surgery in the dark with one hand tied behind my back.
Ordered a white Note on January 25th. They needed extra identity verification (aka the documents they need to defraud me a month from now). I order from B&H all the time with orders exceeding $2,000 without having to verify my identity.
Fine, I played their game, January 28th rolls around and it can't ship till next week because they are backed up. I tell them forget it, to cancel it, and I will get it from someone else who can do business professionally.
Between January 28-30. I have FOUR comfirmation email cancelling my order from TWO diff reps and from the
[email protected]
email. Now today, February 2, I receive an email that my order has shipped and here is your tracking number...
Scammers folks. Terrible customer service. Been sitting on the phone for ONE HOUR trying to talk to someone live....no one will pick up. No one is returning my emails. I just filed for fraud on my credit card, I will refuse the package when it arrives, telling you guys here, and also prepping my attorney for anything.
SimplyElectronics.net is not professional, not prompt, sketchy, involved in fraud throughout Europe, and by far the worst company I've ever dealt with.
I pretty much agree with you.
I ordered an HTC Flyer last August. It took about two weeks before they sent it out. The tracking code was emailed two days after shipping the parcel. And then DHL decided to f*ck up the delivery - returning the parcel to UK. After a month and a dozen emails I finally got my money back.
On November I noticed that they were selling the Flyer very cheap - around 330€ for the 3G model (here in Finland it's 700€) so I decided to order it again. A few days after the payment I was asked for identification which I sent immediately. Two days after this I was informed that ALL of the 3G Flyers were "damaged" during delivery and couldn't be sold. That's bull****. Another few weeks of waiting and I got my money back.
And then the Note. It took a week to send it, even though the web page says it will be shipped in 1-2 days. Eventually got my Note but it's an HK model and there was no pre-filled warranty card included. So no chance of a possible warranty service here then.
Simplyelectronics appears to have little to none physical stock - all they do is hunt cheap items, ship them to the UK and off to customers. If they advertise a price and run into problems and are unable to purchase the item for a cheap price, they come up with an excuse like the damaged boxes with the Flyer. Different camera forums have also reported similar behaviour.
I won't be purchasing anything from Simplyelectronics anymore.
@justus... I just don't understand why you went back to the same company to do a business again after you experienced hick ups with them... But you dealt with them again buying a note from them ?? I JUST CAN'T SEE ANY VALID REASON AS TO WHY YOU KEPT WENT BACK TO THEM AND GO THROUGH THESE HASSLES YOU DESCRIBED... JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND... REALLY, YOU JUST HAVE TO BLAME YOURSELF FOR GOING BACK TO THAT UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY FOR A BUSINESS...
FOR ME, IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME.... THAT WILL BE END OF DEALING WITH THEM... THATS IT.... THERE ARE HEAPS OF OTHER RETAILERS OUT THERE SPECIALLY IN ENGLAND WHERE I PURCHASE MY GALAXY NOTE AND NOT ONLY AT GOOD PRICE BUT ONLY TOOK 4 DAYS TO SHIP TO AUSTRALIA....
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH ONLY 4 DAYS IN SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA FROM ENGLAND.. I MEAN DOMESTIC PARCEL TAKES AROUND 4 DAYS...

Because at that time they were one of the very few offering the white Note, and since they ship from UK I was able to avoid VAT.
I got mine from Expansys uk. I did have to verify my address but I haven't ordered from them before. Next day delivery though and I was very pleased.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Also ordered mine from eXpansys. Great support, friendly and quick staff. Also, even though online system told me estimated availability was 2-5 business days, I received my package overnight ... and we are talking international shipping!
I am in no way affiliated with eXpansys, nor do I receive monetary compensation for posting my experiences ;-) Just wanted to do a shout-out for awesome service.
Anyone order from expansys usa? I understand that I can totally be impatient whatever but on their website it says if I order before 3pm I can have my device here in 2 days (paid extra for the 2 day shipping).
So I ordered it Sunday night so they would have plenty of time to process my order and get it out today by 3 but its only like 2 hours left and its still not processed or my card charged.
Am I asking too much to be able to ship a phone out in less then 6 hours? I evene emailed them hours ago that if anything was wrong or had any questions that would slow the process down to get a hold of me.
My time is running out to get this shipped out today...Should I just cancel and order from Negri or something?
I ordered mine from Expansys Usa on a Wednesday and it was shipped out the same day, about two hours later, and delivered on Friday. Free shipping too. They may not process any orders that come in over the weekend until Monday, so they are probably playing catch up. But if you paid extra for next day delivery, your order should take precedence.
Oh, by the way, if they say to get your order in by 3PM in order to guarantee same day shipping, it does not necessarily mean that they will ship at 3PM. This is just the cutoff time for orders to be received, but they can still be processed after this time for same day shipping. At least that is how my company works.
I don't know how this store gets good reviews..They haven't replied to any of my emails today and now I've been on hold for over 10min to talk to someone..
Its 4:30 and they still havent processed my order..
I will never buy from this company again..It shouldnt take more then a full day to process a phone order.
I had a similar issue with these guys. They didn't respond to my e-mails either, so I ended up cancelling, FWIW.

I researched for a week on where to buy this and they had good reviews from people on here etc..
I would have cancelled but I'm at work and had to hang up after 20min on hold...At this point I don't even want them to have my money but I can't stay on hold to cancel..
I won't even bother emailing them cause apparently they don't bother to reply after a purchase.

I bought my note from England website called http://www.clove.co.uk
and I was very happy with their prompt service... I mean it only took 4days to reach here in Australia... I thought their price is also quite competitive...
If you cancelled the transaction with expansys then suggest try this clove company ...

I apologize for the lack of service you have received. Please PM me your order ref and I will ensure it is cancelled, or likewise find out what the delay was yesterday.

To start off, YES, this is a rant thread about LG and its outsourced repair center, Stellar Wireless in Fort Texas.
I dropped my phone and the glass broke. Here is my older thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126134
Spoke with 10 different reps at LG USA to confirm i could send my N4 for repair to their facility. Apparently, I can, as long as I have a return address in the States. Sweet deal! Cost $153 for repairs vs. $250 from Canada supplier in Mississauga (All Tech-Neek Electronic).
So i prepare my package, pay the fee of $25 for having it shipped via UPS (bad mistake). Everything is going well, phone shipped off on February 1. It ends up reaching the facility but gets rejected! Why? because at the boarder for Canada/US customs there is a "Customs Delivery Charge" aka COD fees on any products being imported in the States. Well, i wasn't aware of this. The repair center rejects the package, I am on the phone for 2 hours that same day, being transferred to 4 departments and given 5 different numbers to call, eventually i get to the right number. Pay my COD fee of $35 off. Sweet, so now i can ship it and my headaches are over right? I wish that were true, UPS sends it off a 2nd time. It gets rejected cause there is the "COD Sticker" on the package.
Essentially, if that sticker is on the package, the repair center doesnt check to see fees have been paid. I get on the phone with UPS AGAIN, speak to 5 different departments and get them to say to the repair center that the "COD is paid." If you have followed this thread this far and are aware with UPS, I'm on my final and 3rd strike! SO needless to say, 3rd time worked and it got delivered! Yeah!:good: Butt....
So i'm sitting at home, waiting for the email/phone call to repair my phone. I receive it on Feb 19, total cost: $153. Sweet deal! Fill out the information and send it via fax to the LG wireless facility. Now according to that repair form, They have 5 business days to process the payment and get my phone fixed. BUT guess what? My phone mysteriously leaves the repair center on Feb 21, which is 2 business days after i sent the payment. Now did they receive it ? I don't know. I called that same day to ask about the fax, and no one was able to help me. So i called FEb 21, asking about my phone and they said it was repaired and sent off. Cool story right? But my visa never received a payment. Now i call today, and find out my phone was NOT repaired and it was sent out. Why? Once again, NO ONE KNOWS.
Needless to say, calling LG 10 times, UPS 15 times, and being transferred to different departments and ALMOST getting my phone fixed....in the end, im at square one again. Its en route to my friends house and I am sending it back to the states forking out the $250 and getting it repaired locally. /Rant. Frusturated beyond belief at LG Wireless, Stellar Wireless (Repair center) and UPS (not informing of COD fees, even the store i shipped it from didn't know about that).
Just needed to rant and share a terrible customer service tale about trying to get the N4 repaired. Canadians, keep your phones in Canada and pay the extra money to know it will be done correctly and properly the FIRST time in your home country. I am applaud and frustrated with this situation.
Appalled*
At that point I would of said f it and bought another one and “said such is life". sorry to hear about your ordeal.
Wow, that sucks.
I hope you have some cold beers in the 'fridge because i would be drinking a few. Hang in there buddy.
Update: thanks to those who read. Apparently the LG staff are either retarded or poorly trained. An executive supervisor just informed me that my payment was received and the phone is actually "fully repaired and visa has been charged." Now i dont know whether to believe it or not, but she sounded confident, Only time will tell, should have my phone back in 2 weeks. Will let everyone know how this repair service turned out.
Well that sucks... but doesn't LG have a repair center in Canada? I called the Play Store to get an RMA for a faulty battery and they sent me a UPS shipping label to a repair center in Fort Worth Texas so I called again and told them I was calling from Canada and the issued a new shipping label to an LG repair center in North York, Ontario.

Good Phone/Poor Glass
I bought this phone about 3 weeks ago and LOVE it! Everything about it is awesome, except one thing...the glass front and back. It says that this glass is gorilla glass. I am thinking after 3 weeks that it's the cheapest "gorilla" glass they could put on the phone. I say this because I dropped the phone from 2 feet off the ground directly on it face (with a case on it) and the front glass shattered rendering the entire phone completely useless. I've done some research online and found that several hundreds of other Nexus 4 owners have experienced the similar things. I read one review where someone was at their home computer working while their N4 was just sitting on their desk like it had many time before. The user said it say in one spot for about an hour or so and he hear glass crack. Looked all around their apartment and couldn't figure out where it came from. Then they looked at the back of their new N4 and the back had cracked in two spots. As much as I love this phone I have to say I am very, very disappointed with LG and Google for this phone. with ins thru T-Mobile USA I have to pay $130 for a replacement, once it comes in I will be selling it and buying a Samsung GS3. My wife wanted this phone also and we almost got it last Friday, but held off for whatever reason. She is now also going to buy a Samsung GS3.
tail?
tale?
That sucks, seriously.

Sorry Gorilla glass is not shatter proof. Only scratch resistant. I love how you blame the phone instead of your self.
