Btw I got it for Rs. 29,499/- :) The initial price on Letsbuy was Rs. 30,699 and I applied the ICICI coupon at that time and got the Rs. 1200/- discount :) They increased the price to 30,999 within few hours.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I ordered from Letsbuy on 9th for 30999 INR. Got a mail this morning that its been shipped along with awb no. Very good service.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya i missed when it was 30699, it was only for like half an hour. After that was 30999.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
So it means all orders placed on 8 or 9 are shipped today. 3 of us here have already got it shipped.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
I too got the same mail and sms. But I paid on 3rd June. You were lucky to ship late and receive early. Also you got advantage of ICICI coupon. Congrates
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
People who ordered from Letsbuy, please tell me they shipped your order via which courier?
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
So now 4 of us got it shipped today :). So they shipped all S2 orders at once today:),, i hope there is no glitch in their system.
[Galaxy S II General] vikas776:
May be i m not the first one who buyed s2 in india but i m sure i m the first person who ****ed it and send it to service center and got a new one ^^
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Via aramex. I receive items from Aramex or bluedart by letsbuy. Got ipad , galaxy tab via aramex and got it in 1 day flat. Very good service atleast in Delhi/NCR.
[Galaxy S II General] prashanth1990:
are we getting all these "Samsung car charger, Samsung HDTV Adaptor, Molife Fit To Use Case & Screen Protector worth Rs. 4769" at once with the phone ???
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
ARAMEX on 11-06-2011
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
That we dont know. Will have to wait and see.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
All who ordered on Letsbuy, will get atleast hd cable, screen protector and case. Car charger depends when you booked were they offered it or not.

I exchanged bluetooth headset with charger. Lets see if they send it..
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
When i ordered it was car charger, HD adapter , case and protector as free accessories.We will surely get them but with phone or later that we dont know.
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
DTDC on 11.06.2011. I preordered on 02.06.2011 and made full payment on 05.06.2011. They did not have any stock so the delay in shipping. But the awb no. which they have provided is not in DTDC system. So lets see how much time it takes to reach here. Had to gift it to my wife but too much delay. In future i will stick to the real brick and mortar shops.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Did anyone from Infibeam get any update in the order status???
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
So it means letsbuy got enough stock yesterday and shipped all pending orders today. 5 orders have been confirmed shipped today here.

Checklist for buying Online SGS II

I observe one should do following:

Analyse your need, do you want fast (higher price), normal (market price) or patiently (lower price)

For those who want fast, go to market, and get immediately, ignore online stores

For those who want in normal time, compare offline and online stores, get the best price. But do not take into account irrelevant accessories. Do check stock availability. Right now I cannot say if there are sufficient stock with any online retailer except for those who have already ordered. Also check if you can take advantage of discount coupon that various sites offer. (Xda is best to know that)

For those who can wait further, wait till June end. You will gain in money (not very much but price will be around 28000)

Try to get screen protector as soon as possible to save any harm to screen

Keep it in a case.

Xda members like Arjun and Dhruv always provide best information to us. So keep an eye over it. They should be congratulated for their deal with infibeam. (though I bought earlier from Letsbuy)
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Add Four

On facebook page of letsbuy, four more person confirmed the mail. Further one of them have said that he went to their warehouse yesterday night and got the phone there itself. He said there were many cartoons of SGS2. He posted in night that he had got the phone. He was right as in morning, everybody got the mail..
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
None as yet. So what is Infibeam up to ??
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya absolutely right , saw just now. Also letsbuy mentioned due to record breaking S2 orders we are little behind on dispatching phones. So they were surprised by amount of orders.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Hi All,

I have made a call at 9AM to Infibeam to get a status update. Once the warehouses open, they will be able to give us some updates.

"Dont Kill The Messenger" :o
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
@ Dhruv. Dont blame you at all. It does not matter if its a govt agency or a pvt firm, end of the day it comes down to the intent of the people who work at the place. If all stick to their word and time, the world would have been a better place....and we would have had the phone in our hands by now:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I completely agree bro. I dont wanna play a blame game since there is not to much damage at the moment. In the defense of Infibeam, they did state that shipping would be the 9th or 10th.

I'm waiting for a quick update from them and will post it AS SOON as I get it.

We are also feeling the pressure of over 30 Members who are involved in this deal. We want to make sure everyone gets the device in their hands as soon as possible.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
UPDATE:

Hi Guys.

Half of the orders have been shipped yesterday. They have been already picked up by the courier company and are in processing.

I will be getting a link of some of the orders processed and Arjun will PM you as soon as he returns this afternoon from his Exams.

Please dont ask when...

By the way, vigneshcb, your order has been shipped.

I was only able to get your details OVER the phone. The remaining will be mailed to me soon. (Please wait for an update)

P.S. I am at work so will try to reply frequently.
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
Shipped.. :)

Dhruv & Arjun,

My order has been shipped last night and its on the way via Bluedart..

Thanks a lot for all ur efforts.. :)

Thanks,

Jag
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Yaay.... So Vigneshcb is gonna treat Arjun and Dhruv :D :D :D who is the second lucky/unlucky person :p :p :p

we will eagerly wait for the PM info :cool::cool::cool:

Arjun and Dhruv... thr is nothing to be blamed on u guys... u promised us a good price with a discount and u have done a wonderful job in that... delay in shipping is not ur portfolio... so dont feel that pressure :cool::cool::cool:

We are just hungry creatures who cant wait to hold that phone :p:p:p

Arjun hope u wrote your exams well... :D :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] private900:
finally i got tracking no. from letsbuy. should be getting the handset within few days. i pre-orederd on 26th may.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya all letsbuy orders are shipped today.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Great Performance

To Arjun and Dhruv

You have done a great job here. Congrats :)

Killing price (net Rs. 29000) with delivery withing due time.

You have defeated Letsbuy all hands up. They may get more orders due to Advertising and lack of information about xda to buyers, but those who were with you are more satisfied than Letsbuy service.

Keep it up... Good luck..

KK
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Awesome.. congrats :D :D :D

So when is the treat :p :p :p
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Yeah, shipped today but still the tracking no. given is being shown as invalid. I dont know what the system is. The courier company ppl are saying that the system should reflect the tracking no. within half an hour of pickup. And the letsbuy ppl are saying that it takes 24 hours for the courier company to update the status. Still not sure when i will receive the set. Anyone else check the tracking nos. received by them on the courier company's website??? Also the my account page on letsbuy.com is now showing the order as In Process instead of confirmed. But the Shipping details is still showing Status update awaited from the delivery service. This creates a doubt whether the handsets have still physically left their warehouse or they have just filled up the forms with the tracking no. and the courier company is still to pickup the items. letsbuy just confirmed that the items have been handed over to the courier company at 10:30 this morning. But at the end, still no accurate info.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya i agree they have done a commendable job:) Congrats to both of you.

But i am satisfied with letsbuy service since i ordered on 9th opted COD and shipped today . For 29999 with HDTV adapter, car charger, case and protector is not that bad deal either.

Ya i agree who preordered earlier had to wait more .
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yes, it does take 24 hours for it to reflect in their systems. That's what i have found from my previous experiences with courier companies here. You should have your tracking status show up by this evening or tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:

They sent on 4th June to Banglore same time same day, and it reached Banglore on 8th June. (Letsbuy via Aramex)
[Galaxy S II General] aayushb:
Dear Infibeam..

Dear Infibeam,

I will stop watching porn, drooling over curvaceous women, eat with my mouth closed, lying to my parents, getting drunk every night, try and sneak peak in the women's sauna in my gym, and making excuses not to go to the gym.......

ONLY IF YOU SHIP MY PHONE TODAY.

Sincerely,

A good child.
[Galaxy S II General] thegr8anand:
If I order today, will it be shipped today and get it on monday?? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Basically, you are offering to stop being a man if they ship the phone today...too much at stake bro!!;)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
It will reflect in courier company website within 24 hrs of receiving message , thts what happened to me earlier. It usually gets update at night.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
*** Infibeam group buy ***

Regarding to our infibeam group buy, anyone has any idea about how the preferences would be given for our orders? people who booked earlier will have their product shipped earlier or on basis of mode of payment COD or CC? or just a random preference? And is it a big deal for them to ship about 30-50 phones on day 1 considering our group consists of 30-50 people. So if they are giving us preference i think its not difficult to ship those many phones on same day for such a big online retailer. I am happy that few of us got their orders shipped which is a good sign for rest of us. But is it just a coincidence that randomly their name was picked? I didnt receive any details of shipping till now. Hoping to get my product shipped. The wait has been agonisingly long.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Guys when you receive your phone from Letsbuy, Infibeam or any other online site, please post how was the packaging etc. Was it satisfactory? Keeping in mind the thing worth 30K inside it. :)
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Is this for everyone? or for those who booked after the 7th?
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
i agree with you. Really, you would think with such a big order, Infi would stick to their dates of 9/10 and update asap. A good service would go a long way for them in possible subsequent bulk orders. But i guess they dont care. Its the 11th afternoon and no update from them. Shows how they work.

Having said that, must once again thank and congratulate Arjun and Dhruv for their efforts. True professionals. They have followed this up till the end. Hats off to you guys.
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Does this mean that the courier company will send it tomorrow or on monday after updating their records, or they would have already dispatched it today to the destination and will update their records in the evening. Too much confusion. If nothing else, we will atleast become well aware of the inner workings of a courier company due to this whole episode. :)
[Galaxy S II General] aayushb:
I have been on a nokia 1616 since the past 8 months, waiting for a phone worthy enough. This one really is. And hopefully, I shall get drunk one night, and forget all about what I wrote here. Thank god I dont have to ask Santa for this :D
[Galaxy S II General] akg42:
The phone will be delivered to you as it comes.. stop thinking too much about shipping, status update etc. etc. etc.. Relax your mind there is no point showing you excitement here or blaming any one else..
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
The packaging from letsbuy was very good. The box was protected by solid cardboard, scotch-taped to shut out any openings. Plus, the charger box was placed above the phone box as another insulation.

Overall I would give it 9/10 with 10 being what we get from flipkart.
[Galaxy S II General] vigneshcb:
Just got to check the mail about the shipping.Hope everyone's order is on track.

A big thanks to Arjun/Dhruv.
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
yipee..

I got mine delivered today..

Sure dude.. We both are in chennai!!
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Wow Congrats Dude ! Guess you are the first to receive one from Infibeam : )
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Thanks for the info. :)
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
the packaging from infibeam wasnt that good.. the main package was just covered by a bubble pack... Thankfully my unit wasnt damaged!!
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
WOW... awesome... u r the first one to report this...:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

did ur shipping details get updated in ifibeam page or it just like that got delivered?
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
?Confusion?

But Dhruv, it seems both the guards are the same, the seller clearly says it includes front, back and side guards.

What link are you using for the $14 purchase? Please compare it with the $4 link.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
In case anyone of you is interested in the mighty HTC Sensation,please note this:-

[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Hey Jaisun, did you get a screen guard in the package ?

And since you are the first, pics please !! :D
[Galaxy S II General] prashanth1990:
Letsbuy is insanely fast!

i ordered my SG2 today morning around 9am!

got a call from letsbuy confirming the order(COD)

at 4pm got an email saying "your item has been shipped!"

they took hardly 5hrs to process the order!
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
You ordered late. When they have in stock, they process.

I pre ordered on 25th May, paid full on 3rd June and was given docket no today.

So in my case their service was pathetic.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Time to root;)
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
hold on dude... they always give advance notification :p:p:p wait till u get a tracking number and check the courier website and then only it is confirmed shipped :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Hello INFIBEAM?

Is there anybody in there?

Just UPDATE if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home?

Come on, now

CAN YOU hear I'm feeling down

Well you can ease my pain

Get you on your feet again

Relax

some information is must

Just the basic facts

Can you show me the courier first ?
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Aur karo pre-order:mad:

I can't show you the courier but the phone itself;)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I have purchased so many times from there and they never give advanced notifications. i have always received orders in 1 day in delhi/NCR from receiving message that ur order has been shipped and this happened to me 7-8 times.

Its good atleast they have provided all with shipping details and not make u guessing whether ur order is shipped or not:)
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
huh... it just says shipped!

But i have a small problem the back cover dont fit well.. i am unable to close it fully.. itleaves a small gap above on the top(above camera) ... what should i do now???
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
NOooooo

No Screen Guard was not part of the package!! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
Back Cover

Guys,

Here is the pic of the back cover.. I am unable to close the cover properly... Can u suggest me what i should do now.. Service center or back to infibeam!
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Still no update on the courier service website regarding the dispatch from letsbuy. No idea whether it will be dispatched by DTDC today for haridwar or not. Will check in the evening once more as i was informed that the courier services update the status in the evening only. Fingers crossed. I have even lined up the local courier office so they hand it over to me on sunday, provided it is received here on sunday. Lets see......
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
It should get updated by night. Mine is Aramex and it usually gets updated around 10pm.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
LOL... :D

THIS IS FOR EVERYONE!!! PM US IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR ORDER... BOTH ARJUN AND I...

The links you posted, they both look similar. I believe Arjun also got a reply from that seller. I will check with him and let you know. But if I recall correctly, I am not sure if you or Arjun was telling that the 4$ one only covered the front and the side. Thats stupid since it clearly says FULL BODY...

At this point, please call up Infibeam and inform them that its possibly damaged due to transportation.

TO All Those Are Waiting.

Please note that 50% of orders have been shipped Yesterday and the remaining will go out today. This is what we have been informed. The Pickup from the courier company and them entering it in their system does not reflect your order status due to the courier company's delay.

We have been informed that All orders will be going out today SO if you dont receive it by this evening. Monday is the day you should rejoice.

Again guys, we are extremely sorry for the inconvenience.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Just got a status update. Shipment sent out today by Quantium. Will update as i receive it.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Dude... dont be sorry... you have done an exceptional job for us.. it is not easy to gain trust from a bunch of people who you have never met and give them a good deal by organizing everything with many dealers and agency... :):):):)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
PERFECT

Now the damn tracking number on the website is 'NOT FOUND'. Its pouring in Mumbai and i am fuming in my computer...this is no fun at all.
[Galaxy S II General] mangodolly:
@dhruv, called the infibeam customer service a little while ago. Apparently they had called to confirm the COD option yesterday and my phone was engaged. So they did not present the order for processing. The agent indicated that it would go out on Monday.

FYI.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Bro, your item has shipped, but the darn courier company is slow to update their systems.
[Galaxy S II General] Unamrakerag:
My 1st Android device

Got my phone, finally the wait is over

My 1st Android device ever, was a Symbian user till now.

The phone is excellent,in the limited time I have had it.

But I can confirm one problem though, the wi-fi reception on this device is not good, the signal strength deteriorates very quickly even if you move to the next room.

I hope this is a software/firmware related issue and future upgrades would solve it.

Other than that, no problems.....touch wood :)
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
My order status is still the same. I doubt if it has shipped today. For a normal buyer they mentioned 13th june shipping date so if today it hasnt shipped for me then what difference remains? I had called infibeam at 5 pm today they said they will ship today and the changes would be updated on system immediately but not to be. Agonising pain continues...
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Dude... dont worry... all XDA members phones have been shipped today... go back a few pages to see the confirmation... :)
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Well.. I placed the order yesterday.. Didn't get any call for confirmation of COD :(
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
Thanks for that. But how can you be so sure? Other people either recieved emails or a status update but not me. I had a talk with infibeam at 5pm today, no shipment by that time. Now i am in queue to talk to CC infibeam. And i have ordered TWO phones with FULL payment. this is not what i had expected. We havent ordered hundreds of phone(if i am not wrong) as a group buy. Then why is it so 50% yesterday remaining today and still remaining on monday? Sorry but its difficult to wait now.
[Galaxy S II General] xotiq:
Got my SGS2

Was searching in Bangalore couple of days back for this model, did not get a quote below 30.2K

Anyway happened to be in Kochi, got the SGS2 for 29.5K with free polo sunglasses.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I can track my order now on Aramex site shipped by letsbuy.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
where did u get it from in kochi? feel like made a mistake buying on infibeam. congrats bro :)
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Last week I saw in Facebook of Letsbuy that one person was sent via Aramex on Saturday. As in my case in evening status was showing shipment received at origin. That guy got on wednesday. In bangalore. So u can calculate based on your location. I am in Jaipur, dont know when I will get it.. Wednesday is too long. Will not forgive Letsbuy..
[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
infibeam order status:shipping in progress:p but haven't got the email yet

i would like to thank Dhruv and Arjun for facilitating this deal and replying to all our queries.Hats off to you guys.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I have always got shipment by Aramex by letsbuy and always got in 1 day flat. i am in Delhi and it ships from delhi so i will get it on monday for sure if cant on sunday .
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
EDIT..........
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
Shipping in progress been there since day 1. Nothing to rejoice. It doesnt mean they have shipped it out.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
GUYS...

NOTE...

INFIBEAM Has shipped All orders today. DUE TO the courier companies not being able to provide Infibeam with the tracking number (this is a automated service), your order status will not be updated.

NO ORDERS will be processed Monday since all have been shipped today.

Additionally. Infibeam has apologized that they were not able to procure the Screenguards in time hence they will be shipped TUESDAY to the address specified.

Please dont ask about whats the status of your orders, we cannot check and this update should be enough to know that please ignore the order status and be happy that they are all shipped.

Have a pleasant evening all.

Once again we apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.

Thank You.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
even I have not got any details... but thr is something called trust :) and hope :)
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Ha!!! I never knew we will be getting screenguards... :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Thanks for the info mate.. 1 question though.. Weren't ppl who choose the COD option supposed to get a call to confirm it? If the call isn't required that's ok..

Hoping the device reaches soon.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Not sure about the call bro. Please give me a call tomorrow, Ill get the info for you.
