The website does not state if its out of stock for silver version so does that mean they have them in stock?

I am thinking about cancelling asda order and getting it from p4u8 instead.

Only issue is, if they have early batch of handsets it might not include any last min fixes HTC have made.
[One (M7) General] oawalker:
I am looking to order mine on Thursday but Friday is bank holiday do you think it will come on Saturday or Tuesday ?
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Most likely Tuesday but could come on Saturday
[One (M7) General] jutley:
I returned yesterday and they just sent me the tracking number today for delivery tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
That's a speedy turn around. Was it SIM free?
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Sorry, my post meant that i applied for an exchange and it was the delivery bag that arrived 2/3 days later :P I've been quoted around the 2nd April for my Black model... up to now anyway
[One (M7) General] jutley:
It was a upgrade on my tmobile.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I will cancel my asda order tomorrow but the refund wont be in my bank until next Tuesday earliest so waiting until then might mean Phones4U sell out their stock and Asda get the stock so not sure if I should do it!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Makes sense excuse the punt, different stick for contract phones.
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Will let you guys know the outcome tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Was in London yesterday but too hungover to make it to a p4u, gonna be in Leeds this coming weekend so wanna pick up one Saturday morning anyone know if the p4u in Leeds City Centre have them in stock or even Asda?
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Ring them up it's the only way to be sure
[One (M7) General] yanouch:
Ok i'm waiting to see if some of you are delivered in 24/48hr because i ordered one Monday 25 at P4U (throught Skypax) and they still tell me they are waiting for delivery...:rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] @home:
I ordered a Black on Tuesday 26th march - Haven't had a despatch email yet - Probably won't anytime soon either
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
The website should say out of stock if people who ordered last 2 days have not had dispatch. I might call them today.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Keep us informed?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
They said no sim free stock until the 2nd.

So guess no point ordering from them now as they will have a backlog of orders to send out first. Sticking with Asda for now.
[One (M7) General] yanouch:
Ok... too bad....

Does anyone know then if there's a physical shop who still have some stock ? i might send someone to go buy the phone directly then and send it to me...
[One (M7) General] @home:
Nice to see HTC are happy with the PRE order figure :mad: - I'd prefer an actual in customers hand figure :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] wizzywig27:
I ordered mine Monday at 2:55 and it arrived the next day, this was the silver
[One (M7) General] jutley:
I am supposed to get my black one this morning so fingers crossed just rang them black one dispatched yesterday to me via rmail next day delivery will report back.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Did you get a despatched email?

Is there any way of tracking the parcel through the P4U process?

I ordered black tuesday @ 10.15am
[One (M7) General] al7usaini90:
was it sim-free?
[One (M7) General] jutley:
I got no emai and the tracking number they gave me does not work on rmail site at the moment not sure why?
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
tracking numbers does not start to work until it get processed to go in the van
[One (M7) General] yanouch:
I desperatly need location of P4U stores who have stock : Skypax service told me my online order was cancelled and they are now trying to buy my phone directly in a store in London... but they ask me if i know a store with stock !

Any (quick) help please ? :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] sorehm:
Received Monday!
[One (M7) General] al7usaini90:
Finally an htc one owner.

Weird though didn't receive a delivery email so you can imagine how surprised i was (was waiting for another delivery).

sim free ordered on sunday.
[One (M7) General] yanouch:
So the last comment about a store with stock was in Croydon but do you have any other address ? (sorry for the spam but Skypax is waiting for my answer to go and buy the phone ! so stressfull !)
[One (M7) General] @home:
Colour?
[One (M7) General] dafadau:
Just received mine after re-scheduling delivery from Monday.

Firstly the sound from the speakers is immense!!
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
I notice on www.expansys.ie the they have stock in black and silver in 3 days but they are charging €610.10 plus postage so fu#k that it's cheaper for me to buy in p4u as the € has strengthened against the £ recently
[One (M7) General] @home:
Just had online chat with p4u & my Black has been despatched - ordered Tuesday 10.15am
[One (M7) General] al7usaini90:
silver. not black unfortunately.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Dunno why more people seem to prefer the black, for me the silver not only looks nicer but unlike the black it won't smudge as much
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Black looks classy but yeah its going to show finger prints more easily.

Glad the other colour is silver and not white as white is worse at showing things up!
[One (M7) General] @home:
Once you go Black.....:silly:
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
Just chatted with P4U and an operator confirmed that HTC One is available for immediate shipping.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Same here I reported gap on 19th and I havent got bag yet so I called again yesterday and they said the bag is sent out already but they will sending again wtf:(

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Agree, mine is silver but point of view is different for everyone that's why color as a choice has been created on the earth
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Wow unlucky man got my bag within two days. Just sent it off. Hoping I getting my replacement on Saturday.
[One (M7) General] jutley:
i was supose to get mine today but the tracking number they gave me is a duff they dont know whats going on or where my phone is lol supose to be a blak one.
[One (M7) General] ThatNerdGuy:
Just spoke to P4U on chat. They've given me an estimated delivery of 2nd April for the Black. What do you think guys? Worth ordering?
[One (M7) General] @home:
At least you got one.

They told me Tuesday 2nd as well & mines allegedly been despatched
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Those who received their phones this week are there any gaps?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Also how does it work with special delivery during a bank holiday, say they send the phone out tomorrow will I get it on Saturday or Tuesday.
[One (M7) General] spikeydoo2006:
Received my silver One yesterday and I have no problem with gaps...I'm well happy with mine :)
[One (M7) General] @home:
I know there'll be post on Saturday, as to whether our phones will come, who knows
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Haha you deviant :)
[One (M7) General] @home:
Mine came today & I was at work now, it's now at he PO depot waiting to be collected :crying::crying::crying:
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Anyone else who ordered this week not got dispatch email yet?
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Rang P4U in Briggate in Leeds and no stock left, no answer the other two P4U shops in Leeds :-\
[One (M7) General] nintendolinky:
There was one in Leeds Commercial Street, at about 4PM, they wouldn't sell it sim free unfortunately.
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I sent off for my exchange bag last Thursday as i'm swapping my Silver HTC One for the Black One and the bag arrived on the Saturday. I sent off my phone on Monday afternoon and they've just received it this afternoon so hopefully i should have my new Black HTC One this time next week :D
[One (M7) General] DanMc07:
Ordered an orange contract from them Last night around 8pm (Tuesday). got dispatch email this evening. Should arrive tomorrow :).
[One (M7) General] ant78:
Don't see why people have gone to other shops/merchants for there ONEs. P4U have consistently proved they are the number one stockists for this release.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Anyone got a black this week ?
[One (M7) General] BastoJ:
I originally tried to order via p4u but failed at the 'internal security check' stage (after they'd taken my money) due to the first line of my address being marginally different between the address they got from the Royal Mail and the one the bank have (they had 'Flat 11 Place Name' whereas bank had '11 Place Name'). Which actually wouldn't bother me that much, despite it being the first time I've had that problem, if they didn't take the money or refunded it quicker.

Still if I could find it in stock at a physical store I would take that route but all the local ones I've phoned up have only been able to suggest trying next week. Really wish I could order it online from them though :(, as you say they are the only ones who actually seem to be able to deliver when they claim they will and get hold of stock.
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
R: Orders from p4u

Today they confirmed me that, for the online shop, they have a relevant stock of silver and black one arrives on April 2th. But, damn, I'm from Italy and can't buy it, I've tried a parcel forwarding service but nothing, phones4u does not accept business addresses. We are in 2013, why do not ship internationally, and why do not allow shipping to business addresses? I really can't understand.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
I know it's ridiculous some companies won't ship to Europe and beyond they are actually losing sales, just as well I do be in The UK a bit but i know where you're coming from
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I imagine one reason will be due to theirs/HTCs warranty policy. One might not work if in a different country. I know thats the case with the iPhone unless you pay more for applecare.
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Look what came this morning
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I really wish I had gone for Phones4u last Thursday instead of Asda!!
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
Tell me where do you live and I'll come there with the first flight from Italy to stole it to you! :D

I'm so envier!!
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Lol I am to scared to open the box lol.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Now the PO has gone & lost mine :crying:
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
R: Orders from p4u

The second site will not work because phones4u does not accept business addresses (all parcel forwarding sites have business addresses,I believe), and they only use the address from the credit card for shipping.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I think they all know how to handle these situations, so they surely have a proper address to receive what you whant to buy using their services.
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
R: Orders from p4u

Yesterday I tried with forward2me.com, and phones4u called them to say that they will not accept this kind of services or addresses!
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
forward2me is a forward-only service: you need to use one who actually buys the item for you (like the ones I posted before).

(P.S.: I replied to you privately too)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Yes definitely.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
p4u does ship to business address, I ordered mine and gave my work address and received it no problem.

But mine was contract upgrade so maybe sim free is different or they just would not accept item forwarding service because whether you will get the phone will depend on another part of the shipment which p4u's post service does not cover.
[One (M7) General] jutley:
I just plucked the courage to open the box guys I can confirm the quality is amazing I can't see anything out of line any gaps shap edges looks like it is a perfect black one and he'll yes it looks much better than silver that I had first.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Website now states delivery on 4th.

While Asda are stating delivery before end of next week but need to add a few days for parents to post the phone to me.

May cancel and get it from phones4u!
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Looks like P4U have the black available now as well.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
black sim free delivery date is 2 days early then silver!
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
The stores are getting the phones in tomorrow :)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
All stores p4u? How do u know this?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I need a warranty replacement so I rang a load of stores near me, I live in the north east and they all said they are getting deliveries tomorrow. So I'm assuming all are :P
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
-

seems a bit weird,i literally just got off the blower to customer assurance. They are sending on the 2nd.thats black. I give in, i wanted it so returned my silver in the end.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I just placed order for black sim free.

Website states 2nd April delivery but I think I will get it on 3rd as its 48 hour delivery and tomorrow is bank holiday.
[One (M7) General] ThatNerdGuy:
Put in an order for the black too. Here's hoping it comes next week :fingerscrossed:
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Interesting..I called them and they say they currently have silver in stock and expecting black today but yet on website silver delivery date is 2 days after black.
[One (M7) General] g3rm3n:
Is it posible to find sim free units in London in physical stores this weekend ?

thanks
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
those that bought sim free from p4u, how long before you got email saying order has been processed?
[One (M7) General] tobyman2:
i just spoke them about stock on their live chat service:

Russ: Hello, you're chatting with Russ, a Phones4U Sales Advisor, may I take your name please?

Me: i was looking at the htc one in silver, it says that if i order today it will arrive on the 4th, is this certain?

Russ: yes thats the delivery date for the phone (unless there are any delays outside of our control - such as extreme weather or postal strikes)

Me: okay, do you know if the black is in the same position?

Russ: let me check for you

Russ: the black handset is available for delivery within 5 working days

Russ: sorry for the delay Toby - I needed to double check that for you

Me: Do you know when it will be instores aswell?

Russ: I’m afraid that we do not have access to current stock and prices in any of our 600+ stores, but if I can take your post code I can get the contact number for your closest store and you can call and ask about the stock and prices?

So i think i will be ordering mine now! :)
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
We getting different info!

I ordered my black when website stated 3/4 for delivery and now that date is gone and your saying they told you 5 days? This worries me. I might swap to Silver now.
[One (M7) General] ThatNerdGuy:
Correct me if I'm wrong but... Isn't 3/4 actually 5 days away now anyway? :)
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Silver is set for 4th too so he should have said same for black.
[One (M7) General] g3rm3n:
has someone bought this phone in physical store in London today ?

thnks
[One (M7) General] brizzle7:
I was in Croydon in South London today and they had them in stock, both colours.
[One (M7) General] tobyman2:
it means its 'ready' for dispatch within 5 working days, so thats when they will have stock! so you probably still will get it on the 3rd or 4th!
[One (M7) General] bleary:
Cancelled my ASDA order after they clearly showed they are incapable of handling anything other than a few whoopsie's on isle 3!!!

Picking up one from P4U tomorrow AM, black as well which I originally wanted.
[One (M7) General] ant78:
i have never used p4u before but after impressing me with the service i got from my one ill be back :good:
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Wow my replacement has already been sent out. That was fast.
[One (M7) General] @home:
PO Have finally delivered mine - Just got it out of box to put on charge -

First Impressions -

WOW
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
Is there a main telephone no that I can call phones4u to place an order sim free?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
0844 871 2234
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
Thank you.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
-

is your replacement silver though?
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Ye silver they said the black is ready to be sent out as well.
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
Just rung them but they are now closed. Can anyone tell me if by calling the phone no if they have stock, or just taking pre orders at this time?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Last time I checked they said they have stock of the black.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
All stores p4u? How do u know this?

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

They have the black in stock and will deliver for the 2/04

I ordered black today around 1pm and mine is out for dispatch should have it tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
Ok thanks. Looking to purchase the Silver one though.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
dude your lucky lol,they rang me and told me id past the 2 o clock barrier for deliveries. i take it youve recieved your email etc
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
You wont have it tomorrow, bank holiday.

Apparantly mine is in warehouse but wont be sent until Tuesday now.

:(

I should have placed my order in the early afternoon rather then 5pm!
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

Two members of staff said they are sending the first of april to me..i was tempted to say 'its a bank holiday what are you chatting about' but left it. wouldnt be suprised if it arrives wednesday

secondly if some people have got there blacks sent today,maybe they have the remainder of the previous stock and have prioritised for sim free

who knows lol
[One (M7) General] ffsman:
Are they doing any offers for the S4?
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

they have the pre orders up,couldnt tell you the price thought
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
S4 is £599 lol

Wrong forum to talk about that phone though.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
I thought its bank holiday tomorrow how can you get it tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
You're right I got to excited thanks for reminding me.:rolleyes: When I ordered my silver it was delivered the next day.

Ow well might be Saturday than!

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

No email but spoke to agent and confirmed 100% it's dispatched should be at my local sorting office. I was just reminded it's blooming bank holiday tomorrow. So will be getting it either Saturday or 2/04.:o
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Hoping for the same :laugh::good:
[One (M7) General] paddylaz:
To those that have received a sim-free One from p4u, is it COMPLETELY unbranded and straight from the factory so to speak? I.e. they havent shoved any phones4u logo screens/bloatware or anything into the rom have they?
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
No, I'm pretty sure when I chatted with them back in February they were offering the Speaker system (Philips ??) with the sim-free version.
[One (M7) General] :
Good point, never thought of it that way. I ordered one about an hour ago due to Handtec not having any. I spoke the a higher end manager and said if you order today you'll get it Friday but Silver only. He said there's enough to go around as they have ordered a load from HTC and reckons they have priority. (I dont believe everything he said)

I bet you come Friday I will be pissed off with P4U.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
That's correct.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Can people please stop posting the SAME thing over and over again!

"Ohh just got off the phone with this person, just emailed them, just spoke in person with the manager, just spoke to someone in the online chat... All saying 15th for silver but black is delayed. I'm not sure if I believe them though."

Arrgghh its doing my head in and I'm sure I'm not the only one getting annoyed. Its a godam phone, calm down people! Go outside, play some sports, interact with people, socialise for the love of god stop sitting in front of your computer screens and fantasising over a phone! Some people here have to wait until May for this while others still have no release date! I'm sure the device you have right now is good, people moaning and complaining while they sit on their HOX's, GS3's with all the quad core goodness... just stop being ungrateful.

I'm sure after all this people will still post the same thing about silver 100%, black delayed. Whatever, I tried!
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Handtec insisted that all retailers have been delayed.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
If it bothers you so much.. just stop reading this thread... think of it as a TV station you don't like: Just don't watch it, yeah !
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Lol. Hysterical

I think more people are going to order this since the video of S4 surfaced and really good reviews by most of Htc one. Boy that thing looks ugly.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
PMSL!

Go for it, let us know what they say as none of us know what there saying yet see ;)

It just gets better :cool:
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
These posts actually made me lol! I give in ha
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
Currently on chat to Phones 4 U and hes saying they have them in stock in the warehouse, ready to ship tomorrow, so i've just switched my order to them, he guaranteed me that it'll arrive on Friday.
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
all the best... lol

Do you know have they charged your card already?
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
:D

That's quality, right there!
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
For real though, what will the situation be for p4u stores? Will the shipments be going out to all the stores or just some select big ones? Because I'm due for an upgrade and was planning on going to my local p4u (which isn't really that big) and just picking it up on friday
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I've been charged too. Going to ring them now
