Also, got confirmation (by phone) yesterday that they would receive them today, then ship them same day and it would be delivered tomorrow for me :)
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
See I wasnt crazy when i said i spoke to someone yesterday :cool:

BTW expansys uk site has stock listed on their facebook page.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Yes you are absolutely Right

Expansys.com

"Want to get the Samsung Galaxy S2 before all your friends? Order yours today, we have stock! http://bit.ly/fjrMsw"

Did any one asked Expansys for price match? or do they have Price match policy, looked on their website, couldn't find anything
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
And now, my order is being prepared! Yeah :D

and... SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
On the site it is sold out, but on my status said it is waiting for stock.

I called in and a lady said it is being sent out today, so all I can do is hope she is right.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Lets hope, this is something I really waited for... am going to call them once home
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
I have ordered a month ago, so I guess they just go through orders by date...

Just be patient, your turn will come :)
[Galaxy S II General] Huck33:
when did you order it?
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
Also did you receive an email saying it was shipped or did you check the status online.
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Not yet but the status says it's shipped and an e-mail was sent:

03/05/2011	Sent email - eXpansys - Shipped order xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

Like I said I have pre-ordered a month ago (April 8)

It's not my first order with eXpansys, they'll update the order tracking with a DHL tracking number later tonight ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Huck33:
how lucky you are
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
I received email 29th April that first delivery will be done today. Does this mean that ithey will send it to me today or what?
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
Damn, mine said still waiting for stock on my status. I ordered mine on the 21st of april :(
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
I did a pre-order on 12th April - when will I get then?

Edit: The tracking site says the status as "Expected 2 Days"
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Will they send any confirmation after the pre-order? I didn't get ant yet !!!

Edit: The tracking site says the status as "Expected 2 Days"
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
I now have a DHL tracking number and my invoice (pdf) has been sent! :D
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Ordered mine on the 29th, and it just shipped ;-) (Or well, it probably hasn't physically shipped yet, but the eXpansys site says it shipped).
[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:
Don't worry, I did the pre-order 10 days ago (April 24) and my phone has been shipped to France (not yet received the invoice) :D
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Do you get any confirmation (mail / call) before the order is shipped???
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Supposedly I'll get an e-mail (it says so in the order status), but haven't seen it yet, might take a bit before I do receive it. The status is set to 'Shipped' anyhow. They added a Samsung MicroUSB charger, probably because I'm getting the UK model.
[Galaxy S II General] johnsonc:
Guys with shipped orders. Were you ordering from your localized web site or from the main one - expansys.com? I see expansys.com says the phone is in stock on the first page, while there's a sign "Expected 4 days" on my local web site: http://www.expansys-ee.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-eu-black-16gb-209416/.

Not sure whether to wait or go ahead and order from the main site..
[Galaxy S II General] future98:
My SGS2 is on the long way home... Be quick, DHL!!
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
I ordered from the localized site in The Netherlands....
[Galaxy S II General] jeezus:
Localized, on the 1st of this month. Shipped.
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Localized .AE site ;)

It was AED 2509 when I ordered. Now its AED 2659... nearly $42 more than the pre-order price :P
[Galaxy S II General] troed:
on order history mine says "drop-shipped" :confused::confused::confused: WTF?

Edit: now changed to "shipped" :-))
[Galaxy S II General] johnsonc:
Thanks for the quick replays, everybody! Have just placed an order on expansys-ee (with the "Expected 5 Days" status). Will see if it still gets delivered this week, before the weekend :)
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
hi got shipped status, waiting on tracking no...
[Galaxy S II General] KLoNe1:
No luck here. Ordered on 11th April; have sent them emails them 3 times asking for order status, got an email 2 days ago saying that they hasn't received the needed info (driver's licence/CC statement etc) to which I emailed straight back telling them I had never been asked for them, but please tell me exactly what I needed to provide & I will get it to them ASAP. Still no reply from them as of yet...

*Sigh*
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Ahh i have called them every day, sometimes more than once, to check they have all needed..they confirmed and re-confirmed nothing is needed except phone... so probably your status was not clear thats why they didnt processed it quick enough.. I advise you to call them..
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Spoke to this Guy (all female customer service reps, dont know what they are talking about) He said its shipped from us and now waiting on DHL to come and pick it up.. he said in 1 hour they will come and pick it, scan it and give us tracking no.. which Expansys will email to us later today... 48 hours more as I am in Dubai :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
YESSSS!!!
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Got a email from DHL with tracking no. G R E 888888
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
It takes a couple of hours before you can actually track it online. That's how DHL usually does it; I guess they need to scan the barcode at the headquarter before you can track it.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Yea got it in 10 minutes after I sent them email.. attached the pic of tracking aswell :)
[Galaxy S II General] kitsVA:
I see only $15 off coupon. Do you guys know of any better coupon to use at expansys-usa?
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Mine is at London Heathrow according to status :D
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
wahh got mad, tried to see what time DHL is flying from Heathrow.. :) :) Expansys said 48 hours so pretty much by thursday.. Custom might take a day
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
under expansys site, what time was your order shipped? when did you get trackin information ... my order status says shipped at a certain time but no tracking for fedex.

also on expansys from my account the sku isnt found for the i9100
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Expansys website is not giving Time, 0nly date... DHL gives 18.29 as time, got email from Expansys about tracking at 15:04 (Bristish times).. you should have if you received the email with tracking no, have a option at bottom, see attached
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Mine says as "In Stock"... What next?????????????
[Galaxy S II General] Success100:
all you people are pissing me off. i want this phone soooooooo bad
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
HUH!!!

What do you mean you people !!!
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
u might get it shipped tomorrow
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Anyone's Credit card charged yet, guys with tracking emails????
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
mine was charged ... but i dont have a tracking number. I guess it is fedex that is not inputting the system information.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Mine is at Heathrow, will leave with today's shipment for Dubai..as it was picked after the cut-off time of 6:00 pm..today it will go to the main Hub in London.. and then flys here.. Credit card got to check if charged
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Mine is with delivery courier, will be delivered today :)
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
Hi after heatrow it will be on its way dubai?
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Mine is delivered, can't wait to be back from work... 9 hours to go lol
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
The DHL girl said it will be going to London HUB (not heathrow) and then coming to Dubai. It might not be true as why it will go to Heathrow in 1st place..and then to Hub.. May be she wanted to buy some more time as I was insisting too much.. She said Security is cleared from Heathrow...So I am expecting anytime on Thursday if not then on Saturday/Sunday
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Delivered to your home then..
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Yes, delivered to my home, but I'm at work :p
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
I thought you will take sick leave today :) hahhaha, what happened.. make some excuse and go home boy... Its like a Beautiful Virgin girl is waiting and you are at work hahhahahhah
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
Mine has departed from London-Heatrow-UK via DHL, does this min it is dipatched internationally or it has another stop in Uk..

Delivery will be here in QATAR.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
I have the same status, she said it will go to London Central HUB and then fly to Dubai.. I wonder if DHL uses commercial airlines to send his stuff. if thats the case I would be very fast as lot of airlines come to Middle east..

After heathrow another stop, she said yes.. you better call DHL Qatar for more info as it might be bit different from Dubai.

Update:

Now mine says after departing london heathrow, now "Processed at DHL facility"
[Galaxy S II General] mrkoola:
received invoice..

mine says shipped out .. and i received my invoice..

But it says "Commodity Code" instead of HS Code!

Also the country of origin says: "EU Base SKU".. are these ok? :confused:

i am in abudhabi..
[Galaxy S II General] future98:
DHL is bringing now my SGS2 from Seville to Malaga (Spain), 200 km far away. Come on, come with Daddy...
[Galaxy S II General] bijjou:
My SGSII also being...

Processed at LONDON-HEATHROW - Wednesday, May 04, 2011 at 08:40

Origin Service Area: LONDON-HEATHROW - UK

Destination Service Area: SHARJAH - UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

:-)
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
well, i have been talking to them about the same and the guy said they have standard invoice and cant change anything.. Commodity code here is referred as HS code..The Expansys guy said "we ship tens of thousands of things to Middle east, very few times we had problem with" so I hope there wouldnot be a problem.. DHL said that they will try but no gurantee it wouldnot be stopped by customs as they require

1. HS code

2. Country of origin

3. Shipped item purpose (personal use etc)

if not there, We have to provide DHL with this documentation.. Expansys said they will not write, if its for personal use.. as they are not sure what we will do with it :)
[Galaxy S II General] BuddyLee:
Mine was shipped out from Expansys but didnt receive a tracking # Nothing on the status page showing whether it was fedex or dhl etc ...

Anyone experience this?
[Galaxy S II General] mrkoola:
well.. they did write for me that its for "Personal Use"..
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Same thing happened to me, however, I just got an email that its actually shipped now. I guess they had a minor delay, i.e. the status page said it shipped yesterday, but the e-mail came today. Guess I'll have to wait a day longer......
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
I heard the local release in Dubai is going to be by first week of june (almost confirmed source) and almost around AED 2.8k

I am confused - should I confirm the order or skip !!!

I will have to get a special OK from my home-minister now :P
[Galaxy S II General] future98:
"With delivery courier"... Oh my God!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
My order just went from "ready to be shipped" to "awaiting stock"... WTF? I have to call them after lunch break.

Edit: Ok, now it changed to shipped. Awesome-O !!
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Ask them about the specs, if its same.. processor etc.. as when I asked they were not sure about it.. The price i got was 2999/- 1st week June.

if all same then decide.. Warranty might be issue while shipping from outside.. normally they should take your phone for repair but sometimes they get naughty..
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
How you know? where did they mentioned it in the invoice?
[Galaxy S II General] mrkoola:
yea.. they sent me the invoice but i am still waiting for DHL to pick it up from them..

"Personal Use" is mentioned in the "Shipping Address" box beside my address..
[Galaxy S II General] hazem77:
surprisengly i ordered many times from Clove ( HD, HD2), Expansys (JasJar) and Handtech (Iphone 4 and now SII :) ) ... i never had any problems. i am in Abu Dhabi, but it always go through Dubai Customs.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
You might be correct mate and i wish DHL is just bull ****ting me... Expansys said they hardly have shipping problems to Dubai.. DHL said these are recent rules.. I wonder when was your last shipment?
[Galaxy S II General] future98:
I've got it!!!!!!!!! Thank you DHL!!!!!!! Thank you Expansys!!!!!!

Now: to root or not to root. That is the question...

EDIT: I can't believe how fast it is. SPB Shell 3D working in one second, in my galaxy tab it takes no less than 30 seconds to be working!!
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Mainly, I am worried for this only... Will wait for the evening to confirm the other details.

As far as Samsung Dubai is concerned - they will sell the same product that is released worldwide (except for some difference in NFC chip) - without any change in processor / memory / glass / etc. They may throw in any extra goodies (car charger / memory card / screen protector etc).
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Congrats...

Root - after 2-3 days only ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
Got mine a couple of hours ago.
[Galaxy S II General] asrangi:
I also received confirmed ship status, lets see how fast DHL gets it to me now!
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
When did you ordered and how it came, DHL? where are you based.. ?
[Galaxy S II General] hazem77:
latest was an iphone 4 on last August...
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
Seems mine is stucked now on "departed Heatrow UK for 4hrs now...
[Galaxy S II General] stepollo:
expansys italy. my order is ready to ship. yuuuuuuuuu :)
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Gosh am calling DHL like crazy, just got off the phone and the guy said It will be here in the Night (1:00 am, 2:00 3:00 am flights) then Custom wil clear as they work 24x7 and the tomorrow morning they will send it, if nothing wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
what is the latest with your tracking?
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Departed from london heathrow, i guess its in air.. might get it tomorrow
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Am I late to the party? Mine is just showing as shipped :P

Hope to get it soon.

Hellow UAE'ians... please advise me if I need to do any for customs... this is my first shipment with expansys... :)
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
well i got dhl/ custom requirements posted in earlier posts, expansys said whatever paper work they are normally sending should be enough.. Will post if actually something is required other than Expansys is attaching.. :) I am expecting mine tomorrow
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Those are done - thanks.

BTW... If I may ask - where in Dubai ru? Am @ Ghusais ;) Working near the Clock Tower place ;) ;)
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
so you two are both in Dubai...i missed the sleepless city of Dubai...:D
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Credit card transaction is done :D
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
I received trackingcode yesterday evening. DHL tracing cant find nothing with that code. Losing my mind.
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
Same here. I guess it takes some time to reflect in DHL system.

Did u get invoice pdf?
[Galaxy S II General] JBL74:
Yes i receive it.

Tracking work now!!
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Package arrived in Bahrain and now will arrive around 3 in Dubai.. DHL said.. Expecting it in the morning if Custom didnt made any fuss
[Galaxy S II General] bijjou:
Thanks for the info .. mine is also on the same ship.

Do you think whether we will be paying 5% customs duty ?

bjv
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
Hey mate, what was your last tracking info before it left UK? mine still depart heatrow facilities..
[Galaxy S II General] Menthix:
And I thought *I* couldn't wait to get it. But I never thought of calling DHL, let alone multiple times :eek:. Their tracking code seems sufficient TBH.

I waited until yesterday when they said they had stock. Status changed to shipped today. Currently "Shipment picked up	LONDON-HEATHROW - UK". With a bit of luck I have it tomorrow, only has to travel to the Netherlands.
[Galaxy S II General] bijjou:
"Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK".

But I have a feeling that its in transit since there may not be any other checkpoints, than the destination port. I hope tracking info will be updated by midnight, if it is in flight now.
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
I thought yours arrived in bahrain with nasgilani's, mine is due for delivery in qatar so im thinking the 3 of us are on one plane..
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Sometime yes and sometimes they forget :) so lets see.. they have the right to charge 5%, i got few shipments never charged.. but honestly they were Person to Person.. this is company to person, so lets see
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
DHL Gulf Hub is in Bahrain.. it should be leaving now or maybe left already, I feel like flying there and come back with next flight... Lolz :) I think all of us (3+1 NL) should get it tomorrow.. if Custom guys are quick.. The DHL's beautiful girl (assuming, as she got very sexy voice ;) ) told me it will either arrive around 3 or 5am.. in both cases I should get it around 9/10ish..
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Ahh finally it reached UAE/ Dubai sorting facility.. custom check left only, called DHL they said i can collect in the morning 5:30, got like 4 hours to sleep, gosh this thing made me Crazy....
[Galaxy S II General] drkaos:
Ordered mine this morning. Shipped at 18.01 according to dhl.
[Galaxy S II General] ghazi.urfali:
Ordered mine this afternoon to Abu Dhabi, tracking says departed Heathrow airport....so expecting soon...cant wait!

Let us know how it goes with customs.....and if you had to pick it up or DHL brought it over..thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] bijjou:
I got a "clearance delay" on my shipment. Called DHL and the customs clearing agent (at 3.50 AM!!!). Had to explain the contents and country of origin etc !!!!!. I must be unlucky, he didn't forgot the customs duty.

Waiting to hear the good news :)

My HORRIBLE experience from Expansys.

[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Gosh thats some bad experiene.. I have been calling them after emails.. as part of their customer service team sits in France and they are just useless... all girls are especially..

I am getting my delivery shortly..:d
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Mine got custom cleared in like 2 hours.. not sure if they forget or didnt to charge 5%.. will know on delivery..
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
If there is any customs payment - they will (and should) ask us before making the payment. FedEx did it for my HTC Shift (from US)
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
got custom of 202 dhs
[Galaxy S II General] mrkoola:
202 is 5%? or are there any other charges besides customs!
[Galaxy S II General] sarvesvara.dasa:
they used to charge 80dhs for the paper work ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mrkoola:
no one tells us about that.. :D

mine is still at Heathrow!
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
And so is mine... I had high hopes of getting it yesterday. Originally the eXpansys website showed that it was shipped on Tuesday (Status: Shipped) and it had a remark that a mail was sent out regarding this. I never received the e-mail until yesterday morning. So I guess they missed my package on Tuesday. THEN I had high hopes I'd be getting it today.. Until I found out last night that my phone is stuck on 'Shipment picked up' at 18:24 - and has been stuck on that since then. I guess it now missed the next DHL flight from Heathrow.

You would think this should be easy right? I'm only in The Netherlands - I mean, if I go pick it up at Heathrow I'd have it faster ;-)

Now hoping I get it tomorrow then......
[Galaxy S II General] Natascha303:
Guys, im from Germany and wanna order the SGS 2 at EXPansys.

Could you gimme a short update about the pro and con when i order outside UK..... about warranty and 30 day send back and so on ?

many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Order at expansys.de? Legally this means you are ordering from a German company. That they ship things from England should not be your problem. I ordered mine via expansys.nl - they ship from the UK, they added a Samsung USB charger with the proper connector for dutch powersockets (free of charge), and if Samsung or anyone else complains this phone came from the UK - I'll have expansys solve it ;-)

Or thats how it technically should work anyhow. Just keep in mind, if you order on the UK site, they probably won't add the correct USB charger. Which might not matter, since any USB charger should probably work.
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Hurra!! Got this morning.. amazing phone.. Custom charged 5% plus other charges 40 DHS.. i am still not sure why they charged me 20 dhs extra? So got mine 36 hours
[Galaxy S II General] Natascha303:
Thank you, just order at expansys.de

But there is no other power connector added. Just the SGS2

Maybe it is sold out ? Did u have to pay for it ?
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
Usually, the power cord appears in the order at prepare time. Don't worry about it, it will show up :-)
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Like the person above me said, it's added when they are preparing the order. For free!
[Galaxy S II General] Natascha303:
thanks, just ordering now ... i:D:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Menthix:
They do. I am in the Netherlands and ordered from the UK site. They added a free socket converter. But yeah, it is micro USB so anything you already have will work.

My current status:

5	Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	03:20

4	Shipment on hold	LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	21:54

3	Arrived at Sort Facility LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	21:30

2	Processed at LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	20:34

1	Shipment picked up	LONDON-HEATHROW - UK	18:17

Not sure why it was on hold so long. Hoping "Departed Facility" in the early morning means it went on a flight, else I'm starting to doubt delivery today. It only has to go to the Netherlands, but it needs to go through sorting before a certain time to be able to make the last route of the carrier.
[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
You're lucky then ;-) Mine was "Shipment picked up" at 18:24 - after that nothing is showing on the DHL tracking page. Still hoping that it's just delayed info on the page, seen that before, and the DHL person I spoke to was kind of confused too. I doubt 7 minutes would make that big a difference (looking at yours and mine).
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
i was not excited in receiving my phone anymore as i was taxed 429 QAR here i dont how they computed it..I forgot to inform Handtec to declare it at a lower price so i would not be tax just like what I do on ebay:mad:, but i dont know if handtec can do that too..
[Galaxy S II General] HumanoidTalking:
Thats lot of money man
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
yeah i did not expected it..ill pick it up later after work..dubai customs is better than here in qatar..

Now let me be busy with the SGS2 :)
[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:

[Galaxy S II General] pvanberlo:
Mine has now arrived at the delivery facility, which is about 20km away from where I live. It arrived (according to tracking) at 07:48. Hoping it will still make it to a delivery truck for delivery today!
