I ordered mine on 11/30 just after Expansys posted their out of stock notice. My order sheet showed awaiting stock. I checked by the next day (12/1) and the order sheet showed shipped. So stock came in and went out pretty fast. :)

I ordered Fedex Ground. The Fedex tracking sheet shows:

Service type

FedEx Home Delivery-Indirect Signature Required

Estimated delivery: Dec 3, 2011

So apparently Fedex changes ground to home delivery when it gets to somewhere in the same region? :confused:

Anyway, thanks to all of you who posted the delivery ambushes! Since a signature is required, I'll make sure I open the box and phone package to be sure it is there BEFORE i sign it! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _DiMoN_:
grrrrrr.. How is it possible? I ordered 11/28 and have the Awaiting Stock message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
You ordered FedEx Ground, but Expansys shipped it Home Delivery.

I have a request into Corey to switch my order to Home Delivery and ship it to my billing address so I have it tomorrow afternoon.

That is, if they get enough in today to ship my order from Monday :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drizzle123:
I ordered 12/27 US and my status seems to say "Usually ships in 4 days"..oh wellzzz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
Ya, that doesn't seem right. I ordered 11/28 and they shipped an order from 11/30 before me and you.

A free upgrade to FedEx Overnight with Saturday delivery would be a nice apology from them :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
Same for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
Since you have a time machine, you should have just bought a bunch of them and brought them back with you :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
I'd need his order ref to see how his order got thru so quickly.

Either way, send me your order ref so I can look into your delivery upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkSi08:
You're lucky. I ordered mine on 11/24, and it still hasn't shipped. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
My order is now green and "Ready to ship "

Very exciting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
My status is updated to ready to ship. Not getting my hopes up yet because last time that happened it went back to awaiting stock.

Thank you, I knew I wasnt wrong for closing the branch 4 hours early. Lol

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are corrupt drives who if they are behind schedule, they just skip anything that has signature required, and say that no one was there.

Ordered

I ordered yesterday from these guys but the status says pending. Im wondering if the charge actually went through my card, but if it hasn't, neither the seller or card company has notified me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxmwxx:
Well I bought my SGS2 from them back in May and now the touchscreen is screwed up so I'm sending it back for repair on Fri/Mon (once I get the galaxy nexus) and they will take care of sending it to the UK and back, so it seems good to me..

If you never bought from them before they try to verify you info/card so I would just call them up to speed things up..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
This is what it says on the Expansys-USA on warranty:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
My order has been shipped.

Looking forward to receiving it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dawgpound6985:
That sounds good. Hopefully, its not a per phone basis.

But it also says this:

http://www.expansys-usa.com/terms/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
Me too. I called them about 3 hrs ago and just now. Both times I waited for 15 minutes on hold without getting through to sales. I'm just gonna let it ride and trust they got their act together. Hopefully mine will be delivered Friday...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
And to save a couple of bucks you're willing to give up your warranty? Sadly, the phone's already defective because of the volume +/- issue. If you bought it at Negri it's up to them to exchange it. If it needs repair or replacement Samsung will tell you to go pound sand because it's a grey market product sold by an unauthorized reseller. And again, this isn't speculation, it's fact.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I placed my expansys-usa order two hours ago and don't have an order confirmation email.

How can I check the status of my order without it? The PayPal order ID does not pull up the order...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Expansys USA falls just as much under grey market definitions.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I paid for overnight expecting Friday delivery. I'm not sure Expansys will be working on Thanksgiving day in Illinois, so I can only assume that it will not be processed until Friday or next Monday.

Frustrating given the holiday will most likely interrupt the speedy processing I paid a premium for...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
Expansys is an authorized re-seller? I thought all the imports were grey markets and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Do these people EVER answer their phone? On hold now for over 45 mins ffs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
They are swamped with angry geeks who want their phone NAO!

(I'm about to call too lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
dont bother

im on a training class so doing that at work so didnt mind waiting. Still going strong at hour and 16 min
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Debacle.

I just emailed them stating that I ordered prior to the 3pm Central cutoff for "SAME DAY SHIPPING" and I expect delivery on Friday (paid for overnight).

I'm going to be ticked if the wait until Monday to lumber into the office and then process all of these orders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
oddly enough i had called earlier today and got through in 8 minutes

Asked the guy if they had any in stock he said yes , they have gone through about half of them. I then asked when they would ship. He specified that if ordered before 3 CST it would ship today

who knows though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
About 30 mins left, whos going for it with one day shipping hoping to get it Friday?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
I canceled my order with Negri last night and ordered one through Expansys this morning. Already got my FedEx tracking number! Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
won't it get shipped for tomorrow if you get one day shipping?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I'm passing for a 32gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Thanks, and we are in Illinois
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
Yeah I noticed that. I get up early for work, around 2:30 am EST, and saw that this morning. Great job Corey. It is most appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
I am not sure why Expansys made this change, but I am really glad they did!:D I'll be coming back to Expansys for more stuff REAL SOON NOW!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tnicko:
Not sure if it's legit or not but Negri has the GN for 739.50, free shipping but you have the option to add priority, express, 2day etc. I've seen a couple other folks have ordered from them but I'm still a little weary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
"100+ In Stock" at Expansys now.

I just hope my backorder ships before any new orders
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
"My precious" shows shipped!!!

Corey, you really made everybody feel comfortable ordering this expensive gadget. Made everybody feel more at ease....that is great service!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I had considered Negri earlier, but I chose Expansys when there were discounts on "Cyber Monday" that I could not resist. I'm glad I chose Expansys, especially now that I see the extra effort that Corey and Expansys is making. This gives me more confidence that they will also be there if I should have any problems down the road, like warranty issues, defects etc.

Anyone live in Champaign that can stop by their warehouse, find the truck with flat tires and help push it out the doors? Maybe they are drinking too much champagn to drive? Its been there for 9 hours FGS! :mad:

Thank you Expansys for the great support!

I have ordered many times in the past from Expansys without any problems. I consider that they had a representative hear a very positive sign. They figured out that a big percentage of the sales was made from xda members and they devoted resources. +1

I ordered after midnight on 11/28 and was told it would ship wednesday or thursday, then on thursday I was told a customs issue would cause it to be shipped friday, but no confirmation as of yet that it shipped out. Did you get an email with tracking or what?

Two family members and I ordered the phone separately, and they upgraded 1 of the three orders to next day air free of charge when I called (waited 30 minutes to talk to someone).

So my experience has been mixed, but if they ship today, I'd order again from expansys-usa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
Shipped. Set for delivery before noon tomm! Thanks Corey

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _DiMoN_:
I ordered in the morning EST. But keep in mind that it is a busy period for all retailers, I do not call, I just wait patiently and I know that when they have stock they will ship ASAP as they did. I received an email that it was shipped. Now in the confirmation page, I see the tracking number!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 8steve8:

Shipment Facts

Service type

FedEx Home Delivery-Indirect Signature Required

It is under the Shipment Facts, as you can see.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Maybe "Indirect Signature" means a body to receive it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
Mine is coming by FedEx Express and there is nothing in the shipment facts about a signature being required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Congrats. I have tracking but has yet to be recieved by FedEx yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f231f:
Someone has to sign for it. With indirect, if you filled out the FedEx signature on file form, they will leave it there without being signed for (because it's on file). If you miss delivery the first attempt, you can sign the door tag and stick it back on the door. They will then accept that as a signature on the second attempt.

A direct signature means someone has to be there at the time of delivery and sign for it and they will not accept a signed door tag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Guys some are direct signature because when we put the address in FedEx Ship Manager, that's the only option it allowed.

I checked my order status this morning and it switched to green and was ready to ship... only to change back to blue and awaiting stock. Seems like that's happened to a lot of you guys =[ no fair! Looks like I'm gonna have to wait til Mon for the next batch, and then another 4 days to receive it. This is like the worst suspense movie ever =[ to all you who have received it congrats! To all you who haven't, I know it's hard to be patient, but we can do it!

either they haven't picked up from Expansys

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inlogan:
Yeah I ordered today from Expansys just because Corey and the staff has been so proactive in helping people out. It's been years since I bought anything from them, but I think they'll be the best out of everyone in handling any issues that arise with the phones and the whole import/warranty thing. I can't wait till it comes next week! :D
