Has anyone ordered from Sony online - Xperia Z3 Compact General

And had the phone shipped ?
I had a discount voucher that was set to expire so ordered directly from Sony however it seems everyone is shipping aside from the manufacturer ?
Many thanks

I haven't got mine from Sony, but I've seen some people that ordered from Sony and did got theirs, 1 or more even got the phone before the 3rd parties started shipping. So I guess it varies per country, or there was a problem with your shipment.

Had mine pre ordered from Sony's website in France. Also had the Sony Digital Noise Cancelling Headset MDR-NC31EM for an extra 1€.

Had mine pre ordered from Sony's website in France (09/26). Shipped yesterday from Czech Republic.

Ordered mine from Sony's website (France) on the 29/09 (as a preorder with the headphones). It got shipped from Czech republic on the 30/09 in the evening and arrived at DHL in my city yesterday but too late. Currently waiting for the delivery guy to bring me my preciooooooussss...

Still nothing happening in the UK though its looks like orders are getting closer

I preordered mine on the 28/09, up to now no shipment. I called Sony but they can't give any precise information since the logistic is managed by a contractor (??). Anyway I'll cancel the order and get it on amazon, cheaper and better customer service. Sony CS is a joke.
PS I'm in Italy

Hi ordered my Z3c from sony website. After about 10 days it arrived; it was shipped on monday and arrived the day after in Italy!!! Yes, one day from czech republic to Italy. Then, shipped back for a usb connector issue on wednesday and on thursday it was in czech republic. Now I'm waiting for the new one from there...

I'm thinking about doing this too, I ordered the phone the same day you did and i'm still waiting for the z3c to be shipped. lol
But they charged 500 euros on my credit card, if tomorrow morning i call them asking to cancel the order will they refund me immediately?

I can tell you they won't cancel the order, they'll tell you the phone has already been reserved and ready to ship.
They gave me that answer for 3 consecutive days but the phone has not been shipped yet. Go figure.

Oder black one from sony (french site) : 09/26
Send from Czech Republic : 10/01
Delivery (France) : 10/03
No I'm waiting for a nano sim, some screen protector (back to as on my Z1c the back get shocked in a flip up cover...) and a flip up cover.

Ordered mine via Sony Germany and got it shipped from the Czech Rep. within one(!) single day on the 26. September already. Communication (via eMail) was also good, nothing to complain about.

So who have you or will preorder with?

It seems Best Digital offer the chepaest price and also HTC Direct. I am wondering if it is best to order through HTC Direct rather than someone I never heard of (Best Digital) in case you need a refund or return.
Also the shops in Tottenham Court Road in London may be a good place to buy and haggle for cash but I am guessing if a fault devleops in the phone, they won't exchange or give you hassle unlike dealing through reputable companies like Play.com, HTC Direct etc etc. I want to pay under £450 as over £500 is way too much for a phone.
I so want one now and HTC Direct says they will get stock in in under 2 weeks (31st Sept) whereas others say mid November. I have told myself after buying this phone I wont buy another phone again as this really seems to the best phone ever in what I want from a phone.
I just don't know who to preorder with or just wait and haggle in Tottenham Court Road.
Who are you pre-ordering with or have you already preordered?
tboy2000
I ordered it at www.digitec.ch.
BTW, it looks that they updated the delivery date to early november for the english version, up to end of november for the italian version...keep ready...
Never dealt with HTCdirect, and just in case you were wondering, they are NOT htc themselves, they are just a shop.
Expansys are usually ok, apart from the odd occasion where they buy dodgy grey import stock and sell them to get to the market early, and you end up with warranty issues.
Devicewire.co.uk are owned by brightpoint so they are usually pretty quick out of the gate with stock, and a good guide for the proper retail price and release date.
If you want to buy on TCR in London, then INKINO is your best bet. they are very good and knowledgeable and happy to help. There is another one around there that is owned by handtec (I think) and they can't get you out of the door fast enough once they've taken your money, and refuse to do anything to help if there's a problem. Best to avoid them like the plague....!
I order it yesterday here : http://www.pixmania.com/fr/fr/1761264/art/htc/pda-phone-touch-hd.html
My preorder has been in with Clove.co.uk for weeks now (over a month). It was £590+ (inc. tax) when I placed the order and it has dropped to £523 inc. tax now ....I hope they charge me the lower price when they do finally ship!
The site is still saying price and availablity TBC but they are also saying it is expected 11-Nov.

They buy their stock from Brightpoint UK, so they nearly always say the day after devicewire/Brightpoint....Surprised they haven't updated their date to the 1st of November yet. These two companies are only a couple of miles apart in Bournemouth and Poole.
I'll probably be ordering with Expansys USA.
I ordered at expansys germany. I guess they will be the first to get HTCs new device..
We'll see...

Amazon.de has a very good price. The guys from a german o2-Shop said, that the HD will cost about min. 700,- Euros without a contract.
nick
I don't know who are you guys going to preorder the Touch HD from but I just saw a broshure from one of the big mobile phone sellers here in Bulgaria and the HD was listed as avaliable and at a good price!!! 1299lv. Or 650 Euro! This is verry interesting and I'll check it monday when the shops open! Keep fingers crossed!
I get mine as a present, but know that official German retail is 660 euros. So Amazon incl. shipping is not too bad. I hope the HD lives up to its promises, since it marks my return to the WinMobile world, after exiting with Tytn I.

I'm in US. Will I pay VAT when buying from UK site?

I'm not good at taxes and all this ...
If I'm in USA and want to buy HTC HD from UK site (e.g. expansys.com) and have it shipped to me in USA .... should I look at
VAT included price of £524.99 or VAT excluded price of £446.80 ?
I understand I can buy from expansys-usa.com, but generally speaking ?
No. You dont have to pay VAT if you are getting it shipped from Europe to the US address. I just bought the Touch HD from one of the UK sites with out VAT.
thanks a lot
I have a general question similar to this. I leave in Minn..but I notice that expansys has the Blackstone available now....can I order it from this site? They will ship to Minn.?
Sorry if this is a dumb a## question. but I'm about to drop a lot of money and just want to make sure its safe.
yes, Kenjari, expansys will ship to the usa. I, myself have ordered one from clove on wednesday and expecting deliver tomorrow or monday.
my total came out to be 750 ish w/ 16 gb micro sd.
Thanks copualt3. I looked at clove's site. I did the conversion. It came up to $616.98 total Is this how much you paid for it? Why is expansys charging damn near $200.00 dollars more?
How did you come up with $616 ?
£445 is approx $700, no ?
I used this online convertor. http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi
So it might not be as accurate as I thought. But I went to clove and set up shipping and everything. Got the total amount and went to that convertor. Thats what it came up with.
i ordered DHL shipping + the 16 gb micro sd so that's an additional 50-70 euro.
expansys likes to charge more than their competitors.
I also ordered from Clove and was to receive the phone Monday am, but today received an Email from FedEx that there was a delay. Clove needed to send them more info.
"A complete Telecommunications Form is required" is what caused the delay.
That may be a customs thing. I forwarded to Clove and hopefully they can quickly fix this.
Just an FYI for fellow Americans...

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone confirm buying touch HD from a UK site (Clove, Expansys...) in India? What i need to know is what is the customs scenario here in India?
How much do they charge?

You have to ask your own Indian government how much they will charge you. It has nothing to do with the UK.

Thanks! I know that. My question was directed to some buyer from India to share his/her experience.
Hi,
Anyone in the USA gotten theirs delivered from a UK site yet? Were there any US taxes to be paid? What other procedures are there besides just ordering it off the website (this telecom form) ? Thanks in advance for the info!!
I'm about to push confirm on Clove.co.uk site to order my Htc HD. However, the website doesnt specify, which language am I ordering? As anyone ordered from Clove? What language is it in...is it WWE? Lastly was there a 2 year warrant that came with it?

I odered mine from expansys (UK site) on Nov. 10th. No VAT, no CA sales tax, no custom forms, HD was shipped via DHL and was here on Thursday, Nov. 13. This time frame included a little hassle, as expansys USA took over (actually wanted to) and I told them I want it shipped directly from the UK. USA price was quite a bit higher, I think $799 phone only.

I ordered mine from handtec.co.uk for $706 USD total.
I ordered it on an Friday and received it on the following Wednesday, 4 working days. They ship via Fedex so Fedex called me then emailed the FCC form.
See link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445804
A bit of a hassle as Handtec only takes Google checkout for payment. They weren't proactive on providing a tracking number but I spoke to them on the phone and they were very responsive. All in all a good experience.

No, they didnt match me even the 499 of amazon uk saying:
"Unfortunately we are unable to price match with Amazon on this occasion as they are known to sell items that have been imported from the Asian market. This means that they can offer no UK warranty or UK support. Our products come with a full UK warranty and full UK support."

I very much doubt that as O2 are selling a PAYG handset and not a SIMFREE handset.
By their reckoning you will be locked to O2 for at least 12 months before you could officially get it unlocked by them.
I'm sure you'd be able find an unlock solution sooner though
Grr.. Was planning to get O2 399 but the phone is locked by O2 which pull me off from buying. I think I'll wait for second batch. Having finals starting tomorrow.

[UK] Nexus 7 UK Discussion Thread

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK
I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.
Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.
Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday
I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.
Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)
I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

Any discount code from the retailers? Planning of getting the 32GB WiFi, but considering LTE.

Mine should arrive this morning, just a few hours, I hope the ones in the uk are a fresh batch with lower defect rate. It seems the prices have levelled off at £199 for 16GB and £239 for 32GB, I have not seen the LTE variant yet but i believe that would go for £299 32GB, but again i am not sure. :laugh:
I paid for the Express AM service from Parcelforce on Ebuyer so it might be here in the next hour or so. I literally cannot wait.

Yes but I only can buy with paypal and they don't work with that.
is this a good and trustworthy site for buying the nexus 7; http://www.tiptopelectronics.co.uk/ ?
Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.

Pre-Orders come with $200+ headset MDR-100ABN

Was waiting for the pre order item and here it is; MDR-100ABN
It was already a fair price for what you get without the headset, but now I'm sold and pre ordered mine. Often the xperia's get an expensive pre order item but when the promotion is over they barely drop in price at all, so either pre order or wait up to 6 months before you are in the sweetspot again price wise.
What do you think of this promotion?

I went for the best service webshop in my country, because pre order prices are all the same while usually you pay a premium for their service so not a hard choice.
I have reached out to Unlocked-Mobiles to see if they are doing this promotion, will let you know when I receive a reply. I think Clove will be doing it from reading between the lines on another query they answered for me.

1&1, Vodafone, O2 - basically 3 of the 4 big Telecommunications companies in Germany offer this preorder deal. Also some shops and Sony Germany aswell.
In Poland the offer is limited by the number of sets.
Edit
After 2 days promotion is closed. Only in GSM networks like Orange is still active.

Sony UK preorders have opened and they are throwing in the MDR-NC750 earphones as a promotional item.
Bit gutted by this, as the Bluetooth headset the Germans are getting are worth over 3 times as much - if you're going to over a promotion to various countries then you should really make it the same product, or you're just going to invite complaints!

I'm ordering mine in two days, when the pricecut kicks in for a certain carrier and I'll be able to get 10gigs/month for two years long for a total of 100 euro's, including the mdr-100abn with my phone.
I never thought I'd ever buy a subscription, but it's simply cheaper when I do the math...
749 xzp & 8 euro a month for 500mb pre-paid.
Or
409 xzs & 17 euro a month 10gb subscription. (2year)
Wonder where to spend all those gigabytes on, I could get half of them full maybe but all 10?
But who knows what the future brings.

Just to add it's put me off buying the handset as I feel this isn't right. Everyone should be equal.

Does anyone know if Sony Germany ships to the UK.
Im thinking of pre-ordering from Germany just to get the headphones.

Also would they honour the warranty in the UK? Plus you'd get a two pin charger not UK plug

The plug is not important as I already have one for my Z5 Premium.
Sony do a EU warranty so they should honour warranty in UK.

According to the terms and conditions the headphones are only for the residents of Germany, so even if you do get the phone shipped over, you won't be able to claim for the headphones (you have to send your receipt and claim separately, they won't come at the same time as the phone).

Count me out for the xz premium then, such a shame Sony! Now I shall wait until September/October.
Just to add you get a Bluetooth speaker (screenwriter) not sonys high end one unfortunately. But yes I still would of preferred the wireless headphones Germany are getting. .
In Norway we have two offers, XB30 Speaker or MDR-1000X Headphone.
Bought with the XB30, maybe sell it and buy a XB40 instead.
In Ireland carriers are giving a set of MDR 10RC headphones with pre order. No idea what kind of quality or tier they are. Ordered mine today.
We have the same offer in Romania, in the official Sony store, xzp + MDR-100ABN
