Yeah this is how I was working it out tbh

Mine was order 20 .04 - on that basis give or take couple days, mine should be atleast in the UK now, but looking at my tracking it simply states:

Shipment information received	GATWICK - UK

I'm unsure whether its still in China tbh, I've sent seller as message but time difference etc, gotta wait for reply
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrGoatsy:
If you only have this message:

It means that it may or may not be still be in China, they get 2 tracking numbers, one for China to UK and one for UK to your location.

If anybody has to wait longer than the promised delivery time send me a PM and I will send you the site of the company in the UK.

So it seems anticipated delivery dates are a bit slower than quoted in the ad... message received today:

Dear Friend:

Thanks for your order .

We have arranged your packages to your Free Tax Zone.

But as for the Labour Day is coming.The post will have a vacation during 5.1-5.3

and the original case cover of P9000 is shortage.and the elephone company said

it will be in stock after the 5.4 .In order to process your package earlier .

we decide to send your phone with other accessories first .Because we need to apply to

customs to send those package to Hongkong DHL.It usually take 1-2days.

So those packages may be arrived in Hongkong on 5.3-5.4.

After our agents of DHL got them ,they will process to UK warehouse as soon as possible.

it usually takes 3-5days to arrive in UK warehouse.

If the goods arrived in UK .our UK partner will pick them up.and deal with those packages,

then send your package one by one from UK.

It is free tax duty to arrive in your country by UK DHL.and it usually takes 1-2 days.

About the tracking number :

When you got the Frist tracking number is from UK to your country ,

After our Hongkong DHL agent processed the packages from Hongkong ,we will give you the

second tracking number from Hongkong to UK.

And when we got the case cover from the elephone company .we will send it out as soonas

possible by ChinaPost .it usually takes 15-35days .

We are really sorry for this trouble,Hope you may understand,if you have any other

questions, pls feel free to cotnact to us .

Or you may add my whatsapp :+8618107226688

Best regards

Klaus

Have a nice day!

Just in case anyone else wants to know so as to avoid such delays!
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] mangoman:
same guy i got it from, under 2 weeks with sing post.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
You're doing better than me then. I ordered a week ago and from the sound of things, the package won't even be in Hong Kong until the end of next week, let alone in the UK. Not reassured by the "may be in Hong Kong" bit either.

Hope the phone is worth it when it turns up!
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
I received the same message this morning too, I sent them an email yesterday I thought it was a response to that email - but this seems like its been sent to all effected orders. Atleast they are updating us on what's going on etc..
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
I guess it's not the end of the world as my existing phone isn't on its last legs or anything, was just hoping it might be here a bit sooner than it looks like it will be.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
I guess if its of any consolation, there are guys on elephonemobile who pre-order this back in early March & have still not received their handset, which is pretty terrible considering they pre-ordered with the actual manufacturer direct (I'm kinda relieved I cancelled & got a refund from them)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaBountyHunter:
Oh they're not the actual manufacturer they're another reseller just with elephone in the name. I had ordered with elephonestore another reseller on the beginning of March and cancelled when they didn't ship on their stock came in.

Thankfully my efox order is on the way now even after taking a few weeks longer.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
Yeah Its kinda strange, before I ordered from elephonemobile I checked with the actual official support are they "authorised stores" (so many bogus stores out there) as they dont appear on their page of authorised stores - they confirmed they were authorised. Good that your order is on the way anyway ;0)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaBountyHunter:
So I've received my phone today from e-fox (unfortunately not at home to open it) door to door my order has taken a bit longer than expected but haven't had to pay additional money so that's fine (used registered airmail) . Ordered on the 9th April (Saturday evening) and arrived this afternoon 3rd May. Hope this helps as confirmation that e-fox deliver. Thanks
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
I'm not sure what the status of my order is at the moment. I asked to extend purchase protection from the Aliexpress seller after the last message they sent me last week indicating that the phone probably wouldn't ship from Hong Kong until the end of this week. That request has been ignored. I can't open a dispute as it's not 10 days yet since the seller said they'd booked the courier for the UK leg of the journey apparently.

I believe I'll be able to do that tomorrow (and will do if the seller doesn't respond to my request to extend the protection period - shipping delays are one thing but delaying until the guarantee period expires and then refusing to extend the guarantee period just smacks of scam artists to me, maybe I'm not very trusting...)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
It seems I am in exactly the same boat atm

Edit: Actually when you read their original store ad, it states near the bottom - Seller Guarantees - "full refund if product is not received in 15 days" - obviously that would commence on the day they shipped the product I would assume. If that is the case,I received an email to say mine was shipped 8 days ago, leaving them 7 days. I really doubt they are gonna get this here in 7 days if I'm honest.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
I opened a dispute this morning having request from last week to extend purchase protection and got a reply within 20 mins asking me to cancel the dispute and saying the seller had extended the purchase protection and would be shipping the phone out tomorrow.

It's a shame when businesses operate this way and don't act professionally until it looks like they will lose business.

Needless to say I have not cancelled the dispute yet as I too noticed the 15 day guaranteed delivery statement and I don't take it to mean from the point of shipping. They state / imply in the listing that they have the phone in stock, but admit that they haven't yet shipped it after nearly 2 weeks.

I might cancel the dispute if they can confirm that the phone will be delivered to the UK in the next couple of days but my faith is limited based on the experience so far.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
Personally I wouldn't close the dispute tbh even if they say they are going to send in a couple of day, I am opening a dispute too when I am able to (atm its still showing I have to wait 10 days after shipping)

I do agree his original listing does state "in stock" and you would think we would have some kind of movement/activity/tracking by now.

My goodness and to think this is a top rated seller, would hate to think what a negative rated seller is like .

As someone who hasn't really used AliExpress before, I personally really dont like how it is set up, I realise its a market place. But communication is terrible not just with seller but actually in communicating with AliExpress Customer Service themselves too. Once I receive my order (eventually...) I doubt I would be using it again.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
I have used it before for a couple of smaller items like screen protectors and cases, and usually I'm prepared to let the longer than average delivery times slide a) because the items I'm buying are often less than £5 including postage and b) because the listings say the items will take 15-25 days to turn up by snail-mail.

However when a seller says they have the item in stock, charges you a courier fee for express delivery and has various references in their listings to how they ship orders twice a week to the UK, and how they estimate 3-5 working days delivery to UK, then I really don't think it's on for them to have not shipped an order yet which was placed 12 days ago.

And the whole booking of a courier in the UK almost immediately whilst the order hasn't even been shipped from their warehouse and is still going to sit there for the next week or two is just misleading - it makes buyers think that the delay is due to transit issues, and it's not. It's either that the seller is either waiting for stock to arrive (unacceptable if they advertise their items as being in stock already) or taking the best part of 2 weeks from accepting the order to dispatching the items (unacceptable if they have the items in stock at the time and process the order then sit on the stock for a fortnight).

I'm not going to close the dispute, because the seller marked the item as dispatched 10 days ago and says on their listing:

Seller Guarantees: On-time Delivery 15 days

The dispute is automatically open for 5 days. So if they deliver within their stated 15 days then fine, if they don't then they've breached their own guarantee.

Curious to see what happens then, though. I've never had to open a dispute on AliExpress before.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaBountyHunter:
Let us know how it goes. I almost ordered via AliExpress but decided to sit my order out and it finally came through (yesterday received).
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
I can totally understand your frustration jc-xjr

In theory if this 15 day guaranteed delivery if from your actual order date, then I ordered the 20th April - making it 15 days today.. But everything seems so contradictory, because if you click the 15 days guarantee, it then kinda outlines 60 days .. pretty confusing??

I'm curious how you have managed to open a dispute? I was assuming you ordered yours earlier, but you obviously didn't yet you can open a dispute - I am unable to? If I leave a message via the order messaging I get no reply. Tried to email them and no reply (apart from that delay notification which it seems was sent out to all pending orders)

I am going to use the Chat feature for Customer Support to ask why I am unable to open a dispute. I am in the opinion that although we have received the UK request for delivery, I have a awful feeling the actual item is still awaiting despatch & hasn't even left China tbh
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
I used the app rather than the website to open the dispute - not sure if that makes a difference?

Have you had a message yet from the seller indicating when the phone will be shipped from China?

I really don't get why a phone which is allegedly in stock takes more than a day or two after order to box up and pass to a courier... even if they do need to update the firmware before sending. The protection system seems fundamentally flawed if the protection only kicks in once the goods are shipped - what if they aren't shipped in the first place?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
The only two messages I have received are "We have booked the shipment for your package. We have added the tracking number. It's by DHL_UK" - with the DHL UK tracking info (which hasn't changed at all since the 25.04) and the stock issue with the handset cover.

I am going to get the app on my phone and try to open dispute via that, (thanks) my PC doesn't let me.

I yes I do agree the guarantee is really flawed indeed, if you need to wait for the item to be posted... makes no sense at all??
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] #LOUDmouth#:
I ordered my phone april 19 and the seller stated in a message april 20 that "We have booked the shipment for your package. We have added the tracking number. It's by DHL_UK ." but it didnt ship from Hong Kong until april 26. I got a messsage april 30 saying "DHL removed the labels of waybill we stuck on the parcel for security check. Our UK partner need open all the parcels to check the correct one for each customer. There are more than 200 pcs. It spent so much time to sort them out. Your parcel will be sent on Tuesday as there is a Holiday(Labor Day). You will receive on Wednesday or Thursday. Hope you be patient. Thanks!".

And today i finally received it. Considering they've used a couple of different excuses my guess is that they've been overwhelmed with orders and couldnt really cope. Thats no excuse though as the graphic in the listing said up to 8 working days.

Anyway, i've just unboxed it and the feel of it is really premium. Have'nt powered it up yet though.

/#LOUDmouth#
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
Good to hear its arrived and all is well & yeah I've heard so many say its got a very premium feel to it.

As you haven't powered up yet, I'm hoping you have no issues with anything ;0)

I tend to agree regarding the wait, I think the seller has also been inundated with orders with which he has had problems supplying prob due to stock.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
Well I've had a message this morning from the seller confirming that it has now been shipped from China, and a new DHL tracking number for the first leg of the journey which does indeed show that it has been picked up by them. Fingers crossed for no in-transit complications or mishaps...
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
Incidentally it looks like there may be some other UK / EU orders in the same bulk shipment my phone is apparently in, for people who have ordered from this same seller:

[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
Yeah I received the same message early this morning too. Atleast "finally" there is some movement. Its funny as just yesterday I emailed them and requested some kind of proof that the order had atleast been been despatched or I would be requesting a refund via Dispute. Then 3am this morning I get this email. with an apology and the provided tracking , personally I'm just glad its on its way.

My tracking shows the same 5 pieces too:

I also ordered the elephone wifi charging base-pad, which they advised they would package with my handset and as they share the same tracking number, they are obviously together.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaBountyHunter:
Let's hope you don't get stung with customs and their handling charges... another reason why I avoided DHL when ordering this time
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbubba999:
Mine arrived from Gear Best, although the package was open, nothing seems to be missing. It may have been customs, however no customs charges.

The phone is already setup for me, so once it's charged, I think a factory reset and root!

Any ROMs to look out for?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
With this particular seller on Ali, they do a bulk shipment to a "UK partner" who then splits the bulk shipment and sends on the individual packages to the end customer. So there *shouldn't* be any customs charges in any event, at least that's how it appears (but this may be as fictitious as their delivery time estimates...) ;)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
Yeah exactly, I guess we will just have to wait & see - fingers crossed
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
So it seems somehow DHL have delivered 4 out of 5 items but not the 5th in the bulk shipment. How does that even happen???

Fingers crossed I was one of the lucky 4...
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
I'm thinking its maybe a human error scanning or something, looking at my tracking its still showing 5 items, although it was 4 earlier

Did you get a message regarding "accessories".. I presume they mean the phone cover, outlining its being sent China Post?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:
DHL - Deliveries Handled Lackadaisically - hahaha

Yes, got the same message, assume it applies to the flip cover and/or screen protector bundled with the phone.

[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc-xjr:

[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] jotei66:
Yup same here, the DHL guy delivered it late teatime which I was happy about. First impression very fast & as expected nice looking phone.

What I find strange (but not real issue) the elephone wireless base comes with no lead. Just used a one I had knocking about but kinda odd.

Well atleast it finally arrived ;0)

5)Copy ota zip file to your pc and open it with winrar you will find "firmware.zip" open it and you can see "recovery.img" or "recovery" (its actually .img file)

-Switch phone off and POWER+VOLUME DOWN and press fastboot and connect your usb so you can see "FASTBOOT USB"

6)copy recovery.img to ADB Folder and follow simple steps ->"

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

"

7)Follow that step if you are 100% sure your device works properly with ADB if not install all drivers for your device and try ->"

fastboot devices

" so you can see a codes with numbers(that means your device is proper working with fastboots

----------------------------------------------------------PROCESS OVER WITH PC/LAPTOP-----------------------------------------------------------

(come back to mobile)

Process with your device now!

5)It will reboot normally all apps will be verifed

--------HERE YOU GO YOUR DEVICE WILL BE UPDATED-------

Note :-
