[One (M7) General] jagdesh:
I am also from India, and I have ordered the silver one .. so lets see what happens on the 3rd of April....

Regarding the import duties, well once we have it here and once we pay we will know for sure... cant say how much it will for sure...

BTW i have ordered through FedEx priority ...

Guys regarding the difference between "pending vs processing"

Pending: This means the order is not complete, which could mean either there is still some process to be completed form the end user like verifying credit card or debit card or payment needs to be made ... or it could be from Handtec's end where they have not completed your order yet for several reason like security verification of the payment method, or the payment is not be taken yet or billing/shipping address needs to be verified.

Processing: This means the order is complete and there is no further action required from the user's end. This also means that the order is complete and its currently with the dispatch team ... and since the dispatch team is waiting for stocks they are keeping it under processing stage, the next stage after this is shipment...

Well the source of the above information is Handtec.com. I had called on friday regarding my order and thats what the CS rep told me... So dont take my word for this information, I am only sharing what was communicated to me.
[One (M7) General] chiao321:
you are right, just got a mail that I had to send some authorization code for my credit card.

and copy passport and bank statement.

did that so I hope it turns into processing soon :)
[One (M7) General] buBleZ:
We have discussesd import duties several times in this thread. It is 7%
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Hi! To the indian buyers... Why are you guys paying 7% for the import duties? You guys should only be paying for the tax and no import duties.

Base on the WTO(World Trade Organization)'s tarrif list of dutiable import products cellular phones should be duty free.

Here's the tarrif for your country

http://www.cbec.gov.in/customs/cst2012-13/cst1213-idx.htm

check chapter 85.

http://www.cbec.gov.in/customs/cst2012-13/chap-85.pdf

These are all free guys... You don't have to pay 7% or even 1%.

You are correct. In their site(Clove) they are reporting the following:

Ask them if they will have any shipping today of a possible first batch coming today and that's the answer:

Wow! That sucks then... Now I'm glad that our country only charge VAT for import goods. Although our tax here is like 12% of the total customs value so yeah pretty much the same I guess.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
This is lame >.< I ordered last March 03, 2013 I'm pretty sure I could have been one of those who are on the 1st batch if I had ordered the silver instead.

I wasted my chance of getting one today just because of the freaking color.

I've placed my order on March 8 for the silver one...

My first pre order was on February 28, however, I wanted to get a few more stuff (car dock and screen protectors) so I cancelled the first order and made a new one with everything in it :)

Hopefully I will be one of the first to get this device as my Desire HD touch sensor stopped working and now I'm using an HTC Magic with the SD Card slot broken =/
[One (M7) General] ky3bmu4:
Preordered and paid silver on Feb 21 at clove. Didn't receive anything from them yet.

Edit: asked clove by e-mail, received an answer "order is shipping – tracking number will follow"

[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
As far as I know nobody has received a shipping email from Handtech yet. (not even the silver orders)

Probably you will be in first batch of black and think the following :

You will be one of the FEW who will have a black ONE while all the others have silver, how cool is this!!!
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Wrong thread :D This is for handtec customers.

By the way since when did handtec started accepting preorders anyways?
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Handtec on Twitter: Just awaiting on HTC for an update, we will be updating within 24 hours regarding the HTC One Silver.
[One (M7) General] omersak:
So clove have started shipping?

Getting real tired of your ****, Handtec.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
How did you pre-order on February 28? I thought handtec started accepting preorder of HTC One on March 5?

I would have appreciated that if I were to like the Black over the Silver :D

However the sole reason why I chose black over silver is because I thought I could get better chances of recieving the black first than the silver considering that there's high demand on the silver models than the black one. So I guess this was an epic fail for me.
[One (M7) General] al3asmawe:
New tweet from handtec .. Still waitting .. WTF !!

Just awaiting on HTC for an update, we will be updating within 24 hours regarding the HTC One Silver.

Anyway I have a second order from handtec so I think I'm allowed to be here xD

Cheers
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
Well, I almost pre ordered the One on February 26, but my indecision made me wait until 28... Then, as I wanted to receive all at once and not pay for 2 shipping, I've cancelled first pre order and then made a new one on March 8:

You lucky guys already getting your devices shipped. Handtec customers are still floating in the cloud lol! Although not really bothered as I'm expecting mine on the 10th :(
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
I see a lot of you guys kind of pissed... Come one, just keep calm, the phone will arrive soon.

Also, think in my situation... I have to go back to an HTC MAGIC from an HTC Desire HD and it has been like that since March 1st (almost) so... If I can survive with an HTC MAGIC with NO SD CARD (port is broken), I'm pretty sure all of you can survive a couple of days without the One =)

Official delay from Handtec, email included...

Thank you for placing your pre-order with Handtec for the new HTC One.

We understand you want this brilliant device as soon as possible and we want to get it to you before anybody else!

However we have had some unfortunate news today and it seems there has been a widespread delay straight from HTC, this will affect the release of all HTC One devices resulting in delays for all retailers.

Handtec currently expect stock to arrive week commencing the 25th March 2013.

Rest assured Handtec have been first with all previous HTC launches and will be working with HTC to ensure this launch is no different.

We appreciate that some customers may wish to make changes to their orders and we recommend that all requests are forwarded to the below email address

– contact@handtec.co.uk

EDIT: Here it is on there site: http://blog.handtec.co.uk/2013/03/1...elayed-until-week-commencing-25th-march-2013/

Thank you for your understanding in this matter and please note that all updates from HTC will be posted on the product page as soon as we have them.

I am just going to cancel my order from Handtec now and just wait for it in the US where I can at least get insurance on it... Major bummer.
[One (M7) General] :
Yep cancelled my order, take a chance with a phone4u shop friday. If no luck then its S4 for me.
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Can you order from Phones4u without a contract? I am in the US so none of those apply to me.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Yes, but they don't ship outside UK.
[One (M7) General] jmonfu:

How did you contact them?

I replied to the email they sent me
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::

You can contact them through their website, just look at the top of the site and you will see a "Contact Us" or something like that.

So you're canceling your order in order to wait even longer on the SGS4 to be released?? No offense but how does this make sense?

[One (M7) General] ajftl:
Nope. It all depends on how many units they get in. If they get enough most of us would get one if they only get a few ones only the ones that pre order them early I'm guessing
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
Lets all cross our fingers that they will get enough units to cover all their pre-orders!!:fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] omersak:
From the clove thread:

So they've covered a lot of preorders with their stock, up to 27th March at least.. Hope for the same from handtec.. although i don't know why they're still "waiting to hear from HTC" while clove has already received and shipped out their entire frst batch.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
I have been quite patient all along and believe me I really have, as my very first was placed on Handtec on the 21st of Feb and now I have 6 different orders of the same phone. I will never ever place an order on their store, not because of HTC but because they are very small as compared to their competitors and so small that phone manufacturers just don't care about them.

Rant over. :mad:
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Looks like we will need to get worried first if ever handtec would really get some stock this 3rd of April rather than being worried if we are gonna be part of the 1st batch or not lol! It's already 5pm on their time and still no news about anything.
[One (M7) General] omersak:
I'm seriously pissed off. "Awaiting update from HTC". Wtf?

I was about to place an order with clove but I went for handtec because it was a bit cheaper. My order date was March 9th. If handtec doesn't dispatch my order tomorrow..I'll.. I'll cry. Yeah, what the **** else can i do.

Clove is expecting the second silver batch w/c April 8th so I might go for that. They're still set for the black one on April 10 as well - they'll get it a day earlier, knowing them!
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Better nag them some email right now just before their store closes to get at least an update. I'll still wait to think that it isn't April 3rd yet on their time and would still consider some more since my expected date would be the 10th.

My maximum wait would be till the 15th. Past that I am gonna cancel my order and go with Xperia ZL instead.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
What pi$$es me the most is you are expecting your stock to arrive on a certain date .... right ? Isn't HTC supposed to give some kind of dispatch notice/tracking info or anything as soon as they dispatch their stock ?

Just think of when you place an order on any online store .... you always get email confirmation and shipping confirmation. Why haven't they received anything yet and if they have why can't they tell us for sure when exactly are we going to get our phones ???
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
Seriously?? Can't you people wait a bit more??

Handtec already said that they will provide an update in about 24 hours (just look at their twitter):

@handtec Just awaiting on HTC for an update, we will be updating within 24 hours regarding the HTC One Silver.

This was posted about 5 hours ago...

I mean, we all have been waiting for about half a month, one more day is not a big deal...

Well, I'm glad with the support provided by Handtec so far, every time I've contacted them they have answered quite fast. Also, I'm fine with waiting as I know my device will arrive some time in the next days :)
[One (M7) General] muayyadf1:
It sounds to me more delay is coming! on their facebook page they say update within 48 hours! go figure!
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
Why are you so sure it will only be ONE day ?

I still say the same why can't they give a precised date of shipping based on the dispatch or tracking information from HTC ?
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
Because they will provide more information tomorrow as stated on their twitter account.

Anyway, I've been waiting for the "M7" since last year so, wait a bit longer is not a big deal (to me at least).

:)
[One (M7) General] zcui:
Of course we can all wait, but the way Handtec is doing business is just so unprofessional.

The phones are supposed to arrive in stock tomorrow, but they still don't know if they are actually arriving, When they are arriving, how many are arriving, or anything. Everytime we ask any question, all they say is 'we are waiting on HTC, please wait 24 hrs (...or 48)'. I mean, in 2013, do we still need to wait 24 hrs to get in touch with someone?
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
So you are saying they will only Tweet when they actually have the stock and not really sure when to expect ?

Yeh right :eek:
[One (M7) General] muayyadf1:
Here is an update :) lets hope we are in the first patch!
[One (M7) General] llothar:
This is Planning fallacy at work - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_fallacy

The planning fallacy is a tendency for people and organizations to underestimate how long they will need to complete a task, even when they have experience of similar tasks over-running.

Here you have a certain chain of events. HTC needs to manufacture the handsets, then they need to ship it to UK to their central warehouse probably, then they send it to vendors. It's easy to underestimate that they will manage to do things faster, especially that they are so delayed. Handtec could say that they will ship mid April, but then people would jump ship to other vendors even though they work with the same data but display a more optimistic shipping date.
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
Well, Handtec updated their blog with next information :)

Stock Update 2nd April 2013:

First batch HTC One Silver 32gb expected to be shipped in the next 24hrs. We expect further shipments throughout this and next week. Orders will be shipped on a first come basis.

[One (M7) General] ajftl:
tnt WE KNOW DRAMA. lol
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
So guys, but when they say "expected to be shipped in the next 24hrs" they mean shipped from htc to handtec, or handtec will ship us? in next 24hrs?
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
It means to us
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
thanks!

and now let's hope! :)

[One (M7) General] ajftl:
Hmm we need a rocket science person to figure that out.
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
Other suppliers are saying tat they only received only 5% of what they ordered from htc, and should be the same with other suppliers.

:(
[One (M7) General] adsam3927:
Care to elaborate which suppliers are saying that ? 5% seems awfully low :eek:
[One (M7) General] silas184:
See copy of the latest email in the forum for Mobile Phones Direct on this site.
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Note that vendors order hundreds (thousands?) of phones that they plan to sell throughout the year. I don't think it is normal to supply 100% of orders in a first batch. Clove was able to fulfill most of the pre-orders, so it should be OK.
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
I also agree with you and I believe that Handtec will be able to dispatch to all that have pre order the phone.It is also common policy for manufactures to cover all the pre orders first and then to stock units and I believe HTC will do the same.
[One (M7) General] mahdibassam:
dispatch

Can people post here when their orders get dispatched from handtec with their order date? would be helpful.

everyone in here is whining like my kids.i ordered on the 4th of march for black.i am in new zealand.this is the 5th phone i have bought from handtec.i have never once had a issue with them.i think the issue they are having at the moment is managing all your expectations.everytime you guys bug them with emails etc a staff member is spending time answering you back.what more do you want from them?this problem is htc fault.they cant meet the demand because of qualty/components etc.remember handtec can only move the stock when it arrives from htc wholesaler.the fact clove got it out the door earlier might be as simple as being closer to the uk wholesaler.
