Xperia Z1 UK Owner's / Pre-Order Thread - Xperia Z1 General

Hey Guys,
Just wanted a to created a thread for people in the UK buying/pre-ordering the Z1! I pre-ordered mine from Phones4u, got the smartwatch 2 with metal strap + bluetooth speakers as I got a 4G tariff + 65 quid of content. What did you guys get?
Also this is my my first time pre-ordering a smartphone so I was wondering do you usually get it on the release day or they only dispatch it then? This is for carriers like EE O2 Vodafone and for companies like Phones4u and Carphonewarehouse...
Thanks and share your own pre order story and delivery date / when you have it delivered etc!!

I believe when you receive it depends on the shipping you select. For example, I pre-ordered the Xperia Z1 from HandTec UK and it is expected to release September 16. I chose 1-3 day shipping so it should come sometime next week hopefully.

i pre ordered from clove uk, i'm from brazil, i think only receive in next week

Preordering mine at my three store at Liverpool Street station, confirmed my phone will be delivered to the store Friday morning.

That wouldn't be too bad. Remember, clove will ship to the UK people first followed by the other countries and anyways will take a while to arrive in Brazill unless they ship it with UPS or something!

I don't agree with that - I asked Clove about their shipping order policy and it is on a first come first serve basis no matter where you live, so if you are the first person to pre-order a Z1 and live in Brazil yours will be the first out the door - why would it make a difference where you are from ???????

I hope all you pommies take the TN displays early, so that we can have the proper display batch. lol

Just chatted to O2 about this.
Email stated dispatched, delivered next working day (tomorrow)
O2 tell me:
1) Order is processing - so they do not know about delivery
2) Order will be 3-5 days (email states this is ONLY for people not in uk mainland..)
3) Courier is uk mai - this maybe true
4) SHould arrive tomorrow - call them tomorrow to confirm
5) Will arrive this week
In summary - the guy had no idea!

CPW - why no stocks

Pre ordered from CPW and got a text the other day saying delayed and will now be delivered by April 3rd instead of 15th march originally. Why are they not getting stocks and delivering if other places are?
Why order from them? They are expensive, no stock, cancel them then order from p4u ...
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
I've always used them. No more expensive than anywhere else and I want the beats headphones rather than a case.
I have ordered in store through cpw to be delivered to the shop, despite customer service being shocking. Cant wait to get it, but they dont seem to be giving any information out as to when. Not even a guidance date. Keep convincing myself good things come to those who wait,
3rd April is all I've been told, will just have to wait :/
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I got told the 3rd of April aswell for the Silver
I went into EE today who said they might have stock on the 25th or I might just go for P4U!
Anyone heard anything else from CPW?
I've ordered on 3 and in black from CPW only for the free Beats Solo! I've not had a confirmation email or nothing yet.

Nothing since they text to say will be delivered by April 3rd. Waiting for the silver one. If phones 4 U still did the earphones offer I would have jumped ship by now. Not happy with CPW.

April 2nd is quoted for both silver & black models on their website. If the black is delayed until the end of April surely CPW would let customers know.

Thanks for your email. I tried to call you today but you weren’t available.

I'm very sorry to hear you are still waiting to receive your HTC One.

I can confirm unfortunately due to the national delay of the HTC One launch all orders will not be dispatched until the 29/03/13.
*
There is a potential further delay with the delivery of your order due to the launch of the HTC One coinciding with Easter. However we do expect to fulfil all orders by the 3/04/13.

If there’s anything else I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email or call our Customer Services team on 0870 087 0168.

Nope, i did place my order on Friday though when it was saying estimated delivery 2 April.
I only ordered with them for the free Solo Beats, so I'd like to know my order is complete and they're just waiting on stock!

Possible ONE UK deliveries next week!

Ok so phone is ordered and I'll be trading in my DHD as well. Bye bye old metal phone....Hello new shiny silver ONE!
Fingers crossed 3 have told me it could come next week (but the expected date on their website is in fact just a latest expected date) but they'll let me know, and if they let me know. I'll let you know!
Also buymobilephones.net told me that they were expecting stock by the 18th so there could be hope hat HTC are back on track and have pulled it back. Atleast on the Silver handset anyway.
So if you're being put off by a possible wait its worth asking the question rather than just not bothering because you think its late anyway.

Perhaps 3 were indeed just pulling a fast one.

Anyone had any updates as yet on deliveries? Been trying to get through to someone at 3 that knows anything at all about anything but it seems today they're only letting people that at aged 30 are still having their asses changed by their mothers answer the calls!
Has anyone been able to speak to anyone sensible this week yet? Anyone received any delivery updates from anyone in regards to their order/phone delivery?
Belting, I hope so

Regarding 3 - I ordered the silver version on Saturday afternoon - spoke to someone on the helpline yesterday (Monday 18th) and she said it would be delivered today (19th), but I rang again to confirm this morning but it was still in the warehouse and not due for despatch later today. Rang again a few minutes ago to see if was going out tonight, but now been told that only orders made on or before last Friday would be going out this week - any orders made Saturday onwards would be delivered for the 28th (which is fair enough I suppose, as that's what it said on the website when I ordered). Thought there was a sneaky chance I might get it early for a moment, but not to be.

Yes I was told there was a chance of delivery today but apon calling today it was like everyone had forgotten the One existed or something. Acting properly stupid! They said they had stock coming in and I could hopefully have it by today but it seems they're saying one thing and doing another!
I don't mind too much as long as it does come by the 28th as promised, but it annoys me that they say something to get your hopes up then don't follow through. Gits!

I have been ringing all the fones4u shops around where he lives which is Stockport most answers i got from the we have delivery Tuesday or Wednesdays.

UK orders delayed?

I pre ordered my G2 about a month ago and rang Car phone warehouse to confirm my delivery for tomorrow which they did state at the time of ordering that i would receive the phone on the 1st October. The lady dealing with me put me on hold and came back a few minutes later and told me that no stock had been received and it will be a few weeks before they start to ship them out.
Has anyone else pre ordered and found out that the phone has been delayed?
all over the Netherlands thats the case. I got mine by sheer luck. Was searching all merchants and found one awesome one that had it in stock. maybe with luck you can do the same.
I was looking for the Z1 last Friday in the Netherlands, at the mediamarkt They didn't have any, however by surprise, the lg g2 was already available and in stock.by the looks of the device and the fact the screen is superb I immediately got one on contract. They only had 2 though, so i guess there isn't a lot in stock, since the major Dutch providers, and phonestores don't present it as in stock. Lg Netherlands however posted a tweet that both the 16 and the 32 gb version should be available this week.

Its amazing how one person can tell you one thing and the next another lol She even tried to encourage me to cancel my order.

I'm in Australia and have had one on preorder from an aussie supplier here for about a week. I just got the despatch email this morning saying it was on it's way ..... from Hong Kong!!!
Maybe they are delays getting them shipped out in large volumes overseas?
Just spoke to carphone warehouse and they now have it in stock! being shipped for delivery tomo! although without the free printer and case as this is not in stock yet and i would have to wait for that to come in stock before they could send the phone! seems like a convenient way of delaying the order.

Just checked my credit card, nothing taken for Handtec but Carphone Warehouse have taken my money (yes, I've been greedy and placed two orders to see which is dispatched first [emoji13])

Will do [emoji106]
Have just checked and the order says processing...am not sure what it was previously though so don't know if it has changed
UPDATE: Just spoke to Chloe in Handtec...orders are still due to ship in Mid May so no point getting our hopes up today [emoji22]

I ordered from handtec and I just checked my card, they have charged it which, according to their FAQs they only do when they ship the product. I do hope that is the case.

I would not get too excited about that. My card was charged by Carphone Warehouse on the 23rd March!
I just spoke to a helpful gentleman over the phone from CPW. He confirmed that they do actually have stock in the warehouse but cannot release it until Sony give the OK of which there is no date...even more annoying if it is true as Sony are doing themselves no favours in holding back the release [emoji35]

Spoke to Vodafone twice today. First time this morning was told no stock has been received and Sony would update them later today so ask again tonight.
Just spoke to then and the woman was useless. Said she had to check if it's been shipped from the warehouse, even though I told her I just wanted an update on the delay and she said they have been doing since the 10th... Completely incompetent.
Expecting an argument on the legality of the contact now as I plan on canceling if they can't at least give me a simple purpose update on the status!

I'm truly amazed at the cluster this launch has turned out to be. I am still in awe at the way this is being handled by Sony and I'm a Sony customer. Wish all the best in getting resolution. I canceled pre-order and went with EBay. The device is worth the wait but supply chain at Sony should be chastised for not handling this better.

Am thinking that maybe the pre-orders with CPW are only relating to contract phones and that us sim free buyers may have to wait until the sim free launch in May as retailers always favour the contract sales as that where the money is.
I did ask a clueless person in Phones4U about the sim free model and he said they wouldn't be able to sell it sim free until 2 weeks after they get the phones in. He did also state that is would be around £700 sim free, so maybe take his comments with a pinch of salt.
Really hope I'm wrong
Ok , I pre-predered & PAID for my Z2 on the 26th February to give you some reference, My last email from Sony support said they would be dispatching from W/C 14/4/14,
However I have just been on the phone to Sony e-commerce Michael and his latest information on my Z2 is that they wont be dispatching until the end of April..:crying:
So take from that what you will as regards to your orders....

Normally disadvantages would be:
Compatility issues..... make sure you're getting the correct model for your region/network
The wait....... ummmmmmm, might actually be quicker
Fake........ Obviously you run this risk anywhere, but be more cautious when ordering from overseas
warranties, guarantees etc..... if they're valid it would cost loads to ship back if it needed repairs
think thats about it..... oh n customs
