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.
I've been following the shipping thread and clearly many people are annoyed at google for assorted reasons.
I won't go into those here, I personally didn't think they had been terrible (not great) until a post I read yesterday.
It now seems Google have informed Play customers that anyone who pre-ordered a 16GB unit after 30th June will now have to wait until 20th July for shipping.
Yet tons of other retailers are now shipping and selling in store the 16GB units.
So basically we have a situation where Google has accepted pre-orders early July and then knowingly shipped 16GB product to other retailers knowing full well they wouldn't be able to cover Play store pre-orders. That is disgusting to my mind.
I ordered my 16GB on 28 Jun, and haven't heard anything yet....
Check out how screwed Canada is getting. Here is when Google is saying that 16GB units ordered in June are shipping:
US: July 19
UK: July 20
Australia: July 19
Canada: July 24-31 (? 1-2 weeks from July 17)
Meanwhile there are 16GB for sale in multiple stores. I am on the edge of just buying one somewhere else and telling them to shove their useless pre-order.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It's just wrong.
From the start Google should have said Play store preorders will be allowed until say 7th July at which point they stop, they then should have ensured they had enough stock to cover those before sending out to other retailers.
Very obviously if someone pre-orders from Google on the 4th July they should get it sooner or at least the same time as someone else that preorders the same item from another retailer on the 15th July.
lets keep the discussion in the official sticky thread...
I just noticed that the expected processing date is May 3rd. Does anyone have prior experience with Costco pre-ordering? Any chance for an early shipment?
When is Best Buy expected to ship?
At this point your best bet is going to be in store on Saturday.

Lets hope some retail stores actually get the S4 on Saturday. Since this announcement my confidence of walking into a store on sat and buying a S4 has been taken down a peg.
Full disclosure: I "pre-ordered" at a sprint store in Chicago.
Costco Shipping Update
I just updated my shipping address and credit card info with Costco. I switched to American Express to get extra year's warranty in addition to the $99 one is my understanding. But more importantly while on the phone the very nice young lady I asked if she had any updated shipping information.
She asked me for which phone and I told her the Black S4. She said the earliest processing would be May 3rd and that shipping would be on May 6th. Now I can set my expectations appropriately.
Black S4 Is Not Available
I just looking on the website and it looks like the Black S4 is no longer available for order.
White Frost is now sold out also.
I ordered last Thursday night but still no change in order status.
I was told mine would be processed April 30th and arrive may 2nd
Q's go in Q&A
So if you do not want it moved there then do not select "yes this is a question"
Thanks

I hope this is the case. I sent an email yesterday seeing if I could get some kind of verification for when the orders will be processed. I got nothing. I have considered cancelling and seeing if I can get telesales to give me a better price. I'm sure I would no issue getting sprint to waive the $36 activation fee regardless of where I ordered. I've never had any trouble in the past.
But today is the 30th and haven't heard anything from costco....fingers crossed.
no luck
yeah mine just says submitted. wish they would at least say something about a expected ship date
Yeah. Same here "submitted". No change in status at all.
I'm starting to think that it's not going to get here by Friday the 3rd now.
I called them yesterday after not receiving any replies to various emails and the girl that answered me seemed very disinterested in answering any of my questions. I got the cookie cutter answer of "it's being processed the 3rd or before" which is basically a screw you nothing's getting done until the 3rd and not shipping until the 6th at the minimum. I'm kinda regretting buying through Costco and it's probably the last time I order from them as well.

I'm with you. I work in the service industry and if we treated our customers like with the same sort of disinterest, we'd get our asses handed to us.
Here is their response to an inquiry I made to costco asking about availability and my response back. I don't think it's too much to ask of them to keep us in the loop on when the s4 will be available for shipping:

Is it possible to let me know if "the device has launched" to costco? "On or before 5/3" states that it is possible that the device could possibly "lauch" to costco and be available to ship prior to 5/3. I am out of town later next week and am hoping that the device will be delivered prior to Tuesday as I paid for the upgrading shipping option.
I'm just trying to get a better idea on the availability of the device thru costco in order to figure out if I need to provide and arrange special delivery instructions to the courier. When I placed the order on 4/20 and the order stating processing "on or before 5/3" indicated that I should receive the device late this week or very early next week but I was hoping for some verification.
Thanks for your time!
I guess we are the only few that got suckered by Costco... the silent uninformed wait is dreadful.
I am very surprised by all of this. Costco typically prides itself on strong customer service. I realize that this is being handled by a third party (contracted out by Costco), but Costco still is involved with this as it has their brand name on it.
I feel pretty lame too. I thought I was one of the "lucky" ones to get an order in before they sold out and now I realize that maybe I wasn't so lucky after all.
I don't mind waiting a week at all...
The accessories were free. (While not the best and the screen protector looks like you have to trim it yourself)
And they didn't charge pre-discount tax.
So instead of paying $320 after tax, we paid $228. Saving $100 for 1 week of waiting? Yes. I will do that.

i couldn't get free activation from customer service, so tack on another $36 I'll be saving.
Came out to $209 instead of $316
I probably won't use the accessories either, except that 3-in-1 charger if it's >1.5 Amps. so that's a $10 bonus.

Hi
Did anyone get an order in for a Gear VR which had an estimated dispatch date of the 6th March 2015 - I still have no update but ordered over a month ago.
Cheers

Hi I ordered mine 18th Feb with a ship date of 6 march but received it on the 27 Feb
I ordered mine on 17 Feb Feb with 6 March dispatch date and it is being prepared for dispatch today.
Obviously they are not dispatching according to order date as I would have received mine before the last poster.
I have ordered mine at 14 of Feb and received the device at 26th.
are your orders with the bluetooth controller ,mine has the bundled controller as has been prepared for dispatch ,

That's a good point for I've ordered the Bluetooth controller bundle and that might explain the delay.
Thanks for the Monday delivery information, saves me staying in Saturday.
Please don't take the monday delivery as gospal ,but it seems that might be the case as it has not gone out for delivery yet and is still at the distribution warehouse at my end at 5.pm on friday
My order has been dispatched and there is a tracking number but when I click on it nothing happens. Any idea why the tracking number link is not working?
I've not received an email from Samsung confirming that the order has been dispatched
Solved it. You don't click on the tracking number, you click on the text "Tracking your shipment" which precedes it.
Thanks all - spoke to samsung today and there is a delay due to game pad. Was told that some might be shipping without game pad for the time being and the game pad arriving two weeks later. I ordered on the 2nd February and just received a text now that delivery is arranged for Monday.

Lucky you, mine still says "06th March 2015 time 18:33 Booked /Awaiting Collection"
With an expected delivery date of Monday 9th March 2015.
I've just rung UKMail and they said the item was collected from Samsung at 12:30 yesterday but not delivered today because Samsung had not requested next day or express delivery.
mine now updated states 12.30 today (saturday) that "delayed" and is still on awaiting collection .
spoke to samsung they blamed late friday bookings for collection for uk mail and said mine SHOUID be here monday or tuesday WTF
WHERE IS THE EXPRESS SHIPPING it stated that i was going to get when i ordered ? also it states uk mail don't deliver saturday on the uk mail website that i looked at .
totally shambolic way to treat customers again waited a month for a complete balls up
Yes I am complained on Friday for getting vague answers from Samsung when they have had my money for a month already. Mine has been delivered now - I was sent an hour time frame today but the tracker showed the delivery date as 9/2 but it came right within the hour today.
Just got mine today just backing up the memory card and then coping the entire memory card to my current 64gb card then will try.
You guys are lucky that you can even order one ..I live in Guernsey and I spoke to samsung who tell me they will not deliver here. They did say I could try a different samsung site like samsung France or Germany but didn't know if they would ship either.
so great help really so much for a multi billion pound company that can't even send a parcel to Guernsey.
I really don't want to have to buy a 2nd hand one from eBay ..but what other choice is there?

Guernsey is not the only place being shunned by Samsung. There are 9 experience shops in England and none in Scotland, you would think they could manage one in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Poor service for Scotland.
I pre ordered both items separately and both were confirmed for shipment on the 6th September for delivery on 7th September.
On 4th September I received an email stating that my watch was on route. I subsequently received a DPD email confirming delivery for the 5th and I opted to collect from the DPD depot via the button in the email message. The collection was confirmed and I received a further email stating that the watch was ready to collect. I made my way to the depot as agreed only to be told that they didn't have my watch and to contact Samsung. After being on hold for 90 minutes, the sales team claimed that they had suffered a systems glitch and that the email was sent out in error. I was then told to disregard that email and that the watch and the phone will both be shipped on the 6th for delivery on the 7th.
Last night, on the 6th, I called the sales team again to confirm that my orders had indeed shipped as scheduled. I was told that both had shipped and that I'll receive them on the 7th. I received an email from Samsung while I was on the phone to the sales team stating that the order will now arrive no later than the 20th. I mentioned that to them and was told to disregard that email.
Today, the 7th Sep, I received an email stating that DPD will be delivering my items. Once again I opted to collect from the depot. Another email arrived confirming that the items were ready to collect. I made my way to the depot once again. No items. They just said to contact Samsung as they had recalled both items to be sent back.
I have now been on the phone with Samsung for 90 minutes and have spoken to 3 different people who are insisting that my items shipped yesterday. They can't however answer the simple question of where my items currently are. I am now in a queue waiting to speak to a manager.
After being on hold for another 45 minutes the sales team manager confirms that according to his logistics system, the items are with DPD UK and so he has to contact Samsung logistics to figure out what is causing the confusion and subsequent delay.
I have been promised a call back on Monday between 2pm and 4pm for an update, with no delivery in sight.
This is absolutely ridiculous; 2 trips to DPD and over 4 hours on the phone as well as having pocketed £1300 of my cash since the middle of August.
Is anyone else in the UK experiencing this same problem?
F*** me mate I was suppose to get my phone the 27th shipped on the 26th. Didn't happen. Then keep getting mixed messages like they have no idea when I will get it Maybe 2 - 3 weeks. Then should be this week then I'll receive a message on the 6th that it's been shipped no email. Then it will be shipped on the 7th I'll get an email. Nothing. I've tried phoning but on hold for too long just getting pissed off.

Ok that explains a lot. It seems they've screwed up big time!
Unbelievable. I ordered the Galaxy Watch but opted for later delivery. Let's see what turns up
CPW don't honour their trade in deals and Sammy can't be trusted to manage their logistics. And this is 2018, at least 18 yesrs after the first smartphones started to appear from Palm, Nokia and Ericsson.
I'm still waiting for Samsung to collect my Note 8 (Samsung Upgrade Program) I have sent over 20 emails to them and also emailed the company tasked with sending out the return packaging, it's been over 2 weeks since it should have arrived, they are a joke and I'm right on the cusp of sending it back and keeping my Note 8!
Had some minor issues here. Pre-ordered the Watch a few days after the phone - it's only ever been listed on the Samsung order page as shipping on the 6th of September, for what that's worth. Received an email from DPD yesterday telling me that it would be delivered today, only for me to check the app later in the morning and find that the delivery date had been pushed to Monday. Was half expecting it after what happened with the phone, though.
Phone dispatched on the 23rd and initially received an email from DPD saying that it'd be delivered on the 24th. Waited for it then, only to find that it was delayed until the Tuesday the following week, in part thanks to a holiday elsewhere. It arrived on the 28th, but without the wireless charging pad that I'd ordered along with it. The fun started from there, as Samsung listed the pad as having been successfully delivered. After a number of calls, I'm not entirely sure, but it seems that it had never been transferred to DPD or dispatched, as Samsung look to have been out of stock when the rest of the order was dispatched. Waiting for a refund on that.
As far as I can tell any faults were with Samsung rather than DPD, though could do without repeated emails giving a delivery date that they can't actually meet.
What a nightmare. Samsung's customer service is like sh*t. It'd take them 4-6 weeks to ship out a little preorder gift. How lame! At least you are not alone.

When I had issues with Samsung I emailed this address
[email protected] and my issues were sorted within 2 days. That was for the note7 debacle but I got straight answer no bull. Check to see if address is still valid worth a shot
Thanks I have sent an email. Hopefully someone who gives a damn answers
Yes indeed it seems that there is an issue and I'm not the only one impacted. Samsung has been a let down this time around and if it weren't for the fact that I wanted a flagship dual sim device, I wouldn't bother with them. Let see if Apple announce one next week. Much as I loathe iOS devices at least their supply chain and customer services are reliable.
A few people I know have cancelled their pre orders for both the Note 9 and Galaxy watch and are buying either on eBay or from foreign markets directly.
The MD of Samsung UK should be ashamed of himself for offering such extremely poor service in one of their biggest markets. I am expecting delivery of a Samsung TV today, I'll reject it and get something else, at least in that area there is pretty decent competition.
I am really pissed off. I'll send an email to the exec team asap. I'll keep you all posted.
Ordered my Note 9 from Virgin mobile UK on 26/8/2018, delivered to me on 1/9/2018
I think this is to do with orders through Samsung so we get the dual SIM variant.
I phoned yesterday in the end to say haven't received a shipping email. They said it should still be delivered Monday or Tuesday but I believe it's just made up. Still received nothing also spoke with DPD to check deliveries pending at my address as I believe DPD are delivering. But again nothing. Haven't had a reply to that email I sent to trying g to phone them again but just stuck on hold .

I got both my Galaxy Watch's yesterday 07/09 46mm for me 42mm Rose Gold for the wife
She's trading in her fit Pro 2 and the return Envelope came yesterday morning
I'm also still waiting to find out where my galaxy watch I pre ordered is and been told they have contacted logistics and will get back to me. I had all the it's been shipped and it's at the depot. With my response of no it isn't one been there! Have now waited a whole 24 hours and no response. Absolute joke.
I had lots of.simiar emails and notification from.dpd and Samsung. In the end was delivered on time on the 7th
So much for shipped the 7th and delivery the 10th. Received no emails. I've had zero emails since I ordered 2 weeks 2days ago. I've phoned them today and couldn't tell me if I will even get it just they have passed it to higher up should hear about it soon. That's probably the 10th time they have said higher up will email me and I have had nothing. I was already told it should ship the 26th for delivery on the 27th. I think if it doesn't turn up tomorrow and I hear nothing back from that CEO email address someone posted I will cancel. Just I have spent about 100+ on accessories etc.
This is my phone were talking about.

Yeah had a phone call back from Samsung im not receiving it tomorrow even though was promised Friday and Saturday I was
Thanks for the update. I'm hoping to hear something from Samsung tomorrow. I also sent an email to the CEO email address.
Watch just arrived today, but there's no sign of the Wireless Charger Duo that was supposed to be grouped with it [going by the dispatch email.] Anyone else had the Watch show up without the charger?
That makes two failed wireless charger deliveries now.
I have just received an email from Samsung stating that my order for the Note 9 is complete and that it has been delivered. I don't have the phone and Samsung haven't returned my call since I was promised one on Saturday. Their online chat service is also offline so I guess I'll have to call them and be prepared to wait an hour or more.
I bought the watch outright and so will call my credit card company to raise a dispute and cancel the order. The phone was purchased on the Samsung upgrade program, I am currently on hold to the finance company to lodge a complaint and cancel the order.
At this stage, I am not sure I have any other options.
Update
Been on hold to the finance company for 45 minutes, no answer.
I also just realised that on the Samsung email which states that the order is complete, the shipping date is listed as 20th September 2018.
So, although they are saying that the phone has been delivered, which is not true, it seems that it will ship on the 20th September. :laugh:
