[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
HANDTEC:

As Monday is bank holiday Handtec will ship ALL orders on Tuesday 3rd of May. As we have a large amount of backorders Handtec staff will be working through bank holiday Monday to prepare all orders. Some customers may receive tracking on Monday & Tuesday but shipping will still be carried out on Tuesday 3rd May.

We have physical stock of Samsung SGII - Just Arrived!

order they still have good shipping for tom as they've mentioned..:D
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
well i ordered 2 months ago... be patient
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
So, they didn't ask for any additional info?
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
you should receive confirmation email from them after you place your order..
[Galaxy S II General] zebbi24:
i got my handtec tracking details!horray the wait is almost over!
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
when did you order it.. i ordered mine on the feb 21st and have got nothing?
[Galaxy S II General] zebbi24:

[Galaxy S II General] alfaysal:
So do I, just received my tracking details :)
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
that's good to hear. I can't wait for my notification
[Galaxy S II General] Pulverizer:
I hope order at Handtec UK.

But our country(korea) does not appear when 'Rest of World' or 'Google checkout'.

I'm very confused. :(
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
I did get confirimation mail.. I think..

Thank you for your purchase with Handtec..

Please keep your order number safe for future reference to your purchase.

is that it? o-o

or it should be more personal? I also got something samilliar from sagepay..

I even gave them my credit card statement before they even asked me to.. just to make it fast...
[Galaxy S II General] alien0101:
I ordered it on 1st May via Google Checkout. I haven't got any email from handtec till now . Why is this so?
[Galaxy S II General] zebbi24:
that is your internal order number.so if you had a issue with your order and want to discuss it with handtec they can use that number.you get that after your order is placed.then you get a tracking number for who ever you selected as courier.(this is what i got sent this morning.in my case im a trying to save any money i can so used royal mail as they we half the price of dhl etc
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
just tried creating a new account at handtec, and it is disabled right now. so even if i wanted to i couldnt order since i am brand new. poop and stuffs.
[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
You don't need to create an account to order. It's been down for months. Just go ahead and place your order as you normally would :)
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
you are done just wait for your phone now
[Galaxy S II General] calin75:

[Galaxy S II General] Dimeezy:
Yes!!!! I got my tracking # too. Ordered April 28th, Used Google checkout. I didn't have to confirm any address or anything. Expected delivery to Chicago is May 4th by 1030am. I don't know how accurate the May 4th date is though. Seems to good to be true.
[Galaxy S II General] rwc3b:
@"&]}£\+[{ !!!!!!

I initially wanted to order from Handtec but switched to Clove at a higher price. Son of a beach!
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Wow cool I didn't know they had google checkout. That makes me wanna order it now lol. Anyone order more than 1?
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:

[Galaxy S II General] netnerd:
i preordered at clove cus they AGREED to price match handtec. *LIES!

no, i did not send them email asking why they didnt price match. i mean why bother?

when i preorder, i put a note/comment about price match handtec.

after i confirmed in email i still want S2 without NFC, i reminded them again about price match handtec.

but my credit card still charging the full regular clove price!

i just preordered another S2 from handtec today using google checkout.

hopefully my phone ships out tomorrow like they said, then i going to cancel clove order.

after my phone is ship
[Galaxy S II General] alien0101:
@netnerd did u get any email from Hantec regarding confirmation of order.

I also ordered from Google Checkout and did not get any email from handtec till now.

I got order receipt fro google checkout.I contacted Handtec via google checkout but did not get any reply till now . I ordered on 1st. Also my card has been debited.

Do I need to worry? Why handtec is not sending confirmation email?
[Galaxy S II General] netnerd:
dont worry about confirmation email, i didnt get it also.

handtec website said "Order now and still have goods shipped on 3rd May!"

worry about it after may 3rd if there' no tracking number yet.
[Galaxy S II General] smartbot:
Just got my tracking email from Fedex (estimated delivery is 5/4). I ordered on 4/25. Now I just hope this phone works on AT&T's network. :o
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
not too happy with handtec right now.. ordred mine on feb 21st and paid back then.. how the hell are people that ordered two weeks ago getting theirs shipped and tracking numbers before me.. guess i will have to file a claim with my cc company. what happened to the first come first served.
[Galaxy S II General] Pulverizer:
Who got the clove dispatch situation by email or notice?

I hope that clove offer recent stock situation to email or homepage.

Yes i believe clove. But we dont know stock situation and waiting is too tired.
[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
Calm down princess. Handtec stated the other day that ALL orde would be shipped on the 3rd UK time (ie, not yet). No phones have been shipped yet, and if you haven't received your tracking number yet, then you will before the end of the 3rd UK time. Relax.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
they also stated back whn i ordered that they would be shipped first come first served.. this doesnt sound like it to me.. they should be processing the orders an sending out confirmations in the that order as they promised..

i guess in uk first come first served now means lifo?
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
have they shipped any units out? I'm sure all of those phones are picked up by shipping companies in bulk
[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
Dude, they're sending them ALL out on the SAME day :D. Get a grip.
[Galaxy S II General] master_watch:
From Handtec's website:

"Some customers may receive tracking on Monday & Tuesday but shipping will still be carried out on Tuesday 3rd May."
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
Mine will come on the 6th I'm from Australia, so it's coming a day later then everyone else.

not to bothered but I can understand the frustration many are having, just give it another 24 hours, they are working with slot of units. this phone is getting slot of intreats and marketing. I'm sure clove will come through also but need a few more days to deduct and clear money due to them holding the amounts till they get the physical handsets.

come on let's just smile only few more nights till Xmas :)
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
xmas? O_o

isnt that like 7 months away? ><

I really hope everything is fine with my order.. used credit card and sent them licence and credit card statement just in case they need it.. to make it faster.. hope ill get it this week.. by friday I hope
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
i was just simply making a point that phones are not shipped out individually based on the date of the order
[Galaxy S II General] shabs52:
Handtec has started sending out tracking numbers but what about Clove? Or will it be on the 3rd as in... starting today?
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
They'll start shipping tomorrow, info comes from their official email.
[Galaxy S II General] teisner:
Did you get an email says they will send it tomorrow? could you please "copy/paste" what they wrote to you?

Tomer
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
Clove just posted this.

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iinow-shipping/
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
I stayed away from here in last 1-2 days, but all I am going to say now is HA!
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
So, for people at work and not able to listen to this, what do they actually say? Someone could make a small transcript? :o
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
They now have stock in and are shipping orders TODAY, not tomorrow as previously stated.

They also say the first units to ship will be those who ordered in Feb then Mar, Apr.

There will be the odd one or two who ordered in Feb but due to their personal circumstances their phones will be shipped later.

They are hoping to have most if not all done today but it depends if there is a problem along the lines of today whether or not they all get shipped.

Just to add to this for those who have been giving Clove a bit of a bad-time this past couple of days believing Handtec are doing wondrous things above Clove.... The Wholesalers shipped to BOTH Clove & Handtec yesterday, which was a day earlier than expected (hence why Clove are now saying they will be shipping today).

Clove were at work yesterday sorting out the arrivals getting ready for today.

Edited:

Changed the part re February orders ~ Some February orders will ship later due to the personal circumstances of the buyer.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Well I am work to but just to tell you what he said is below

We have SGS2 in stock, will send Feb orders 1st, followed by March, april and May. There will be some exceptions but we will fairly ship on date of pre-order basis. we have staff and working hard to send all Pre-orders.. we will be very busy, may not be able to reply to your emails.. but you will start getting tracking emails within 24 to 48 hours. Its a super device blabla bla..
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Gosh Beards,

I thought you will busy chopping people..you replied quicker... :)
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Good thing I ordered in February then, between that and doing a review for them I should be very close to first cab off the rank!

EDIT: (sorry Beards, had to steal a tenner from your wallet by thanking that post!)
[Galaxy S II General] teisner:
just got it from clove :

We have a VERY large number of orders for the Galaxy SII which will ship in the next 1-3 days

We will send a tracking number by email on the day they ship.

Due to the current volume we cannot answer individual requests for tracking information or confirmation on specific dates of shipment.

We thank you for your patience
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Luckily I am not busy today..... :)

Thanks NZtechfreak, the ladies at work will no doubt hit my wallet tomorrow back at work. :)
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
Thank you Beards for the update!

I preordered my SGS2 from Clove.
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Yaaaaaaaaay! So we can fairly assume that by the weekend we will have our device right? Of course the ones who used Fedex as a shipping method :D
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
How did you get Fedex shipping? I could only choose DHL...
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Well when i was at the checkout, there was a drop down menu and could choose two different types of shipping methods. Maybe fedex does not provide shipping to your country? :/
[Galaxy S II General] tetris15:
Fedex International Priority shipping, 26£ I think, on their website they say its 1-2 days delivery from UK to Hungary :)

So, it should arrive by friday I guess...

There was a reason I payed more for the delivery... :D
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
called them..

placed order yesterday..

they said my order is fine and it will ship today! :D

2-5 days..

will recieve tracking number in 10 hours from now.. lets hope its true :D
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
Congratulations!

I don't see no reason why it won't be true.
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
dunnu.. never had the chance to order from the UK.. I dunnu how high their service is..

but I also got a confirmation that it will be shipped through FEDEX and that my friends is something I LIKE :D

I have had past expirience with FEDEX and they are simple awoesme ^^
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
From where did u order ur device? Clove or Handtec?
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
I think he ordered form handtec.
[Galaxy S II General] Foxdraed:
Oh i see! =)
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
yea.. handtec... :)

Clove is like out of stock... they can just ship the pre orders.. have a look:

so it was wise for me to get it from handtec...

btw keep an eye on gsmarena and phonearena.. I believe they should be posting up their REVIEWS about sgs2 any day now!
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
Where did you get that quote from clove?
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
they emailed that to me.. asked them something and that was their replay
[Galaxy S II General] iznee:
Damn...i just checked the clove website and their "please note" message box has changed from first order will be shipped on 3rd may etc etc to this..

"First orders are now being dispatched - there is a backlog of orders but we are working to dispatch all orders as quickly as possible"

i guess mine will be delayed now
[Galaxy S II General] hazem77:
after many of us got their notificaiton emails, did any actually have their shipment delievered to shipping facility! still says only label created!
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
My Clove order is processed ready for shipping, can't wait!
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
That's great news. Did you get an email saying so or did you log in to your account over at cloves website?
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Since I'm doing a review for them I have direct communication with them, it is showing as processed in my account at their website too, so worth checking that. Don't spam them with emails or calls though, they are unbelievably inundated processing orders right now and it will only delay matters!

EDIT: Some more information that people would be interested in - in the Clove video they state that some who ordered in February will be getting their devices later due to their own personal circumstances, rather than the other way round as mentioned earlier (which suggested some late orderers may que-jump).
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
that's horrible, how does that make sence?
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Yes, I edited my reply here on this after you mentioned this in Android Forum. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Perfectly understandable.... If some certain February buyers can't take delivery immediately due to personal circumstances the Clove staff can then utilize the time in processing later orders. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tetris15:
I ordered in april from clove with fedex priority shipping which is 1-2days shipping, that should mean I will get the phone this week whatever happens, right?

Clove account says "PROCESS" for my order...
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
I thought you might do that Beards, thought I would post it since people wouldn't neccessarily see your update of the older post.

@NIK516: It only applies to a couple of orders, I expect the people in question are quite well aware of the delay already (and in fact it is not clear whether the delay is down to Clove, or the individuals concerned, but I rather suspect the latter for reasons similar to what Beards mentioned). Clove are an outfit with great integrity, I don't believe for a second that they would delay orders without good reason.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
still no email from handtec or an answer to my post yesterday to their service dept as to why if i ordered and paid in feb. i have got nothing while others have already got emails with tracking info.. no bigee i may just cancel it as the dollar has gotten stronger against the euro since i ordered anyway and reorder.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
The way I see it...... as you ordered later in April you will have to wait your turn BUT the Clove staff are optimistic in processing many, many orders today and tomorrow so lets say yours manages to be completed by tomorrow it would be at that stage your priority shipping of 1 to 2 days will come into effect.
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
all I know is that according to handtec worker (called them) Almost all orders will be shipped today

dont you guys worry.. I made my order YESTERDAY and I have been told that my order will be shipped today, through fedex (I even asked to know if Fedex or UPS) and it was like 4 hours ago he said "10 more hours) meaning 8 pm UK time I'll recieve my tracking number..

meaning that today all of you will get the tracking number..
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Perfectly understandable NZtechfreak. I would have done exactly the same. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Rithina:
Just ordered 1hr ago and they said my order will start shipping today via fedex

Sent from my Xperia Arc
[Galaxy S II General] otacon888:
Wow...that's fast...
[Galaxy S II General] madmack:
respect ! :cool:

love the customer service these guys provide.
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
I don't understand. On the one hand you have handtec who still accepts orders and confirms they will still ship TODAY, and on the other hand you have Clove who will need a few days to ship all the pre-orders. And Handtec is cheaper than Clove.

So how on earth can one be happy with the "service" provided by Clove? They should be praised for their ineffiency, just because they acknowledge it?
[Galaxy S II General] TheMathMan:
Clove charged me anyway despite canceling my order!
[Galaxy S II General] XeroState:
Ordered two from Handtec on Saturday, got the tracking email very early this morning
[Galaxy S II General] mansoorkasmi:
ya...will call them tomarrow, as they have a holiday today. i am tensed
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
hi Guys, I just bought one from handtec and its my first purchase to them, i used same address with my credit card paypal and my shipping address.. do you think they will still require me to send verification for my address?
[Galaxy S II General] mansoorkasmi:
i Dont think you will need those checks coz ur billing & shipping are same
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Only just noticed this topic.... busy day in theatre yesterday and this one got missed.

I have known Chris Love the owner of Clove Technology for 20 years.

Chris is one of the most upfront and honest men I have had the pleasure to meet.

His integrity is without question.

What you have to remember here is if Clove are telling you it is not shipping until 1st May to online sellers then rest assured that is what is happening.

I mentioned to one of the guys at Clove that handtec are supposedly releasing the phones earlier.... they were intrigued how handtec had managed this as just like Clove handec have been pulled in by Samsung with firm instructions the phones are not to be released until after 1st May.

Also, what you have to remember is should you get your phones from handtec and you experience a problem and have to return the phone back to them, you may encounter a heck of a lot of problems.

Clove on the other hand have an excellent after-sales service.

They have a very close liaison with Samsung.

The Samsung UK PR manager is often in communication with them, they attend Samsung conferences/release meetings and do a lot behind the scenes in the mobile phone publication industry.

Clove keep their user-base informed, have an excellent online Blog, fluent email service and a team dedicated to providing up to the minute information.

Further, they do not charge your card until the day of release.

In other words, Clove are simply not just sellers.... they are the complete and professional outfit.
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
I've ordered a few things from Handtec and never had a problem, last thing I ordered was a tomtom (apart from the SGS2). I ordered it 3pm on a sunday afternoon, it was delivered by lunchtime the next day (standard delivery).

Only thing with Handtec is they charge your card at the point of order, even if its a pre-order... so just be aware.

Apart from that, I've found them good and their customer service team have always come back quickly with a response when I've been hassling them over info for the S2.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
I will agree Pete, if handec have the item in stock they do deliver as promised but I won't forget what they did last year when the SGS was announced for sale.

At that time the SGS was supposedly coming to sellers in two memory sizes ~ 8GB & 16GB.

Later however we then heard the 16GB were only going to carrier sellers.

Clove altered their online order form and passed email messages to all those who had pre-ordered the 16GB informing them buyers would get the 8GB model with an 8GB card now thrown in for free thus to take the phone to 16GB.

Handtec on the other hand continued to offer the 16GB model for sale on their site.

I telephoned handtec myself explaining the situation and although the person I spoke with said they did not think they would receive the 16GB they still continued to take orders and payments for the larger memory model right up to release day of the 8GB model.

They never received the 16GB model. It did go to carriers only.
[Galaxy S II General] xpooz:
I ordered mine as well.. shipping address and the billing address are different because one is home and the other one is my working address.. most of the time I will be in my working address but they asked for my driving license, credit card statement, Identity card and so on....

still waiting for their update on my order..

hopefully can get arrived to my country before 2nd week of May
[Galaxy S II General] shabs52:
i just called handtec, used option 4 for "all other inquiries" told me to hold for someone to be available but then after a minute just says this number is out of order. uh... what?
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
As it is holiday period the option may be out of service ~ as in there is no one to answer any queries.
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Its bank holiday in the UK, nobodys open today.

Edit: Lol...damn it Beards, your the fastest poster in the west. :)
