Expansys Discount

Hey guys if anyone was looking to buy any accessories for your HTC Touch Pro. I found this link from MoDaCo that will email you a discount voucher code for Expansys-USA.Com or Expansys.Com. I believe this discount is thanks to MoDaCo.Com if found it from google and thought I would share.
USA: It will give you $14.94 off any accessory purchase over $30.
Europe: It will give you £10 to put towards an order of £20 or more.
Just thought I would share my findings, also it noted that the discount ends on the 30th of November. So you only have a few days left to use the discount.

It says invalid voucher code.

Mine was rejected too. And please dont buy from Expansys. I had so much problem. They never reply to emails. Had to make some international calls to settle and the phone bills is a bomb.
thats wierd, i just ordered 2 items this afternoon and my code worked fine. it was on the USA site, i dont know if it matters where you live? Also Expansys is the same company that processes orders for the HTCAccessoryStore.Com i dunno if most of you know that. They are coming from the same company that HTC uses for their official accessory store.

I ordered an item from expansys on nov 11th. Website said "instock" on it. Got a conformation email from both paypal and expansys for the item the next day. I even checked expansys's website 2 days after my order and that item still showed "instock". 3 days after that they (expansys) send me an email that its out of stock but will ship now on nov 24th. Today is the 25th and no notice or anything from them. They also have not replyed to my emails. What a way to do business.

I ordered the Celio Corp's Redfly on 19Nov. The payment was made through bank transfer the following day. In the order confirmation email a Singapore/Hongkong/UK phone numbers were given. I called the Singapore phone number on Monday 24Nov but it was perpetually engaged. I managed to get through to the Hongkong number on Tuesday (yesterday). At that point I was then informed that I short paid by UKL12.00 which was not made clear in the order form (at the web-site). Meanwhile a number of emails was sent to the Singapore/Hongkong/UK offices. None was ever responded. I finally request for cancellation through e-mail at the same time asked how long would they take to process. Untill this moment no one cares to respond.
Expansys is not only unethical but very unprofessional.
Another interesting issue is that it costs differently for the same item if ordered from their various web-sites (UK/Europe, or Singapore, Hongkong.) STRANGE!!
I will never get anything from expansys ever again.
i always get my stuff from expansys. no problems yet - and i mainly use the uk one and they ship it to australia - uselly in 2-3days which is awesomly quick
Another eXpansys Horror Story
Ordered 2 items from eXpansys-USA last week. One item showed over 1600 in stock and the other showed over 200 in stock. They both stated "This product is at our central warehouse and should be shipped in 3 working days".
When I checked my order status the next day it indicated both items were out of stock. The item descriptions were correct but if I clicked on the link for either one they took me a page that stated "Product not found or is not available in this region". I also noted the item number in both links were not the item numbers I ordered. When I went to the correct pages for the items I had actually ordered they still showed plenty of stock.
At this point I emailed them and finally got a reply 3 days later in which it was stated "The unit is in transit from our central warehouse and will ship later this week." I sent a reply asking what that statement meant and asking if they ship FROM their central warehouse TO the customer or what. So far no reply and I really don't expect one.
Based on this experience, and quite a few similar "reviews" I read here and elsewhere, it appears this is typical of them. It is very unlikely that I will order from them again. A first time customer has pretty much become a last time customer.
if your order is delayed, like my tv out cable, just call and they will at least give you free priority shipping...... a whopping 5 bucks!

Amazon uk ordering

Has anyone ordered the phone at amazon.co.uk?
Mine has an estimated dispatch date of 4-5 may and an estimated delivery date of 6-9 may (standard delivery to Belgium, 1-2 days). It has not been dispatched yet.
I have placed my order on 15 april for an estimated dispatch date of 30 april, updated about two weeks ago to 4-5 may.
I would appreciate it if you would share and update the delivery status in this topic.
same for me, frenetically hitting the refresh button on my amazon.co.uk page... Mine says dispatch to be expected on 5/5...

Same for me... I got a thrill the other night when Amazon told me my item had been dispatched, but they were just talking about the cover I had ordered for the phone
I've come home from work and keep checking my email every two minutes, but no sign of a dispatch yet. I fear it's going to be next week before I get my hands on this phone!
Amazon quote
"Please be advised, although we do have stock of the item "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" on hand, we are not able to dispatch it to you until the official release date, May 06, 2011. Many manufacturers restrict retailers from selling or dispatching their products until the official release date."

Thanks, I guess thats a reply from amazon? Anyway, I guess we can wait a day or two, no one needs the gadget right now.
Or...
What am I saying, bring it on, amazon!!!
So delivery will be Monday at the earliest then?
Stupid weekend getting in the way...
From the amazon uk forum, looks like we are not going to have the GS2 in a while.
I received the following from customer support a short while ago...
Hello,
I'm sorry for the unexpected delay of your order. I have researched the availability of "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" and learned that its release has been delayed.
As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to dispatch it to you. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the dispatch process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is about to be sent.
In addition to a wide selection of items, one of our aims at Amazon.co.uk is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have not met that standard. Once again we are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue and hope this will not discourage you from shopping with Amazon.co.uk in the future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

I've no problem with Amazon if they've been let down by a supplier.
However, if a customer support employee can research to find that their release date is now obsolete, why are Amazon still advertising the 6th May as the release date on the product page?
I received an email from customer support a couple of days ago which stated that the phone will be in stock before the 6th May release date.
On the product page itself, someone posted an email from customer support saying that the phone was in stock, but they just weren't allowed to dispatch it until the 6th May release date.
I repeat, the delay itself is not something that is upsetting me. These things happen. However, the misguided information certainly is an issue. I expected a lot better from Amazon...
We regret to inform you that your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. Our supplier has notified us that there is a delay obtaining stock for the following items you ordered on April 14 2011.
So who's going to wait for Amazon? Who's going to cancel their order and try somewhere else?
I'm thinking I'll be heading into town this weekend to see if I can buy one on the high street...
got the same message and I'm thinking of cancelling
Well, I did cancel my order and placed a new one at Handtec... lets see, they talk about shipping on 9 or 10th of may...
I was going to cancel, but then I received this e-mail. I think I'll wait just a little longer I guess.
Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on April 15 2011 (Order #202-6217273-4883543).
"Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone"
Estimated arrival date: May 10 2011 - May 11 2011​
I've also had the same message from Amazon. I've now cancelled the order and have now ordered the phone from play.com
In stock apparently and £499.99 with free delivery. It's been waiting to go to dispatch since 8:30am.
I will probably get the sorry sir, it wasn't really in stock please check again in a couple of weeks
in germany you can get the i9100 right now on amazon.de for 599,-€
in stock and already dispatched, without simlock
I've just received an email to say that my new delivery estimate is 9th-10th May.
Hmm...
Yaldy! "We are preparing this item for dispatch"!
Amazon uk delivery due 7th May
I had the email from Amazon UK at 02:10 this morning stating the expected delivery date of today would not be met. I orderd on 28th April and I am an Amazon Prime Customer.
This morning I debated cancelling my order, but left it thinking a few days delay would not be too bad.
At 15:11 I received an order dispatch email with tracking number showing the phone had been handed over to Royal Mail at 14:34. Expected delivery is Saturday May 7th. I am glad i did not hit he cancel button too soon.
The bad news is it's being delivered to work so won't get to play until Monday.
Mike
Mine got dispatched last night and is expected to deliver on 12 May.

Anyone Else Get Email Today About Their Gear VR Shipments??

So my wife and I both received email approval for the Gear VR now. No more "pending fulfillment".
Ship dates..... Wife's APRIL 18TH!! MINE MAY 8TH!!
I guess 4 to 6 weeks is out the window, even if you pre-ordered your phones the first couple days like we did. Bummer. But hey... At least they're Comin'!
I guess they are going to say it's 4 to 6 weeks from approval date lol.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Mine says expected ship date April 1st.
Mine also says April 1st, but I picked the Gear S2.
I haven't gotten an email yet, but I checked my submission status, and it says approved, preparing for shipment. I went with the watch. Not keeping it, figured around $300 extra would be nice I used my trade-in money for the VR.
Yeah April 18
Yeah I got my email last night saying mine would ship on April 18th... but then to claim my 6 free games I need to set up my Oculus account my midnight on April 20th. So how is that even possible?? Can I set up the Oculus account early without the VR unit so that I can claim my free stuff?
Just got an email stating I am ineligible for the Gear S2 because my receipt denotes an in-store or online purchase. Anyone else get this?

I did notice at the bottom of the disclaimer about signing up for the game pack it says something. Here is a copy:
"Please make sure to create an Oculus account and download your
6 games before 11:59:59pm PT on 4/20/16 when the download expires,
or within 30 days of receiving your Eligible Product, whichever is later."
So at the end you see it says, at least in my email copy, on "4/20/16 when the download expires, or within 30 days of receiving your eligible product, whichever is later." Which I would take to assume that we're covered if we receive the Gear VR after the 20th, as long as we activate the free games within 30 days of receiving it.

No idea how I missed that. I feel dumb. Yeah mine says the same thing.
Well, this almost sent me over the edge. Trying to call the fulfillment company now to see if this can be straightened out. I ordered it online at full price from a consumer account, not a business one. Weird.
"Congratulations! Your submission has been approved; however because the
purchase receipt you uploaded denotes an in-store and/or online business
purchase, you are only eligible to receive the Samsung Gear VR with 6-game
bundle. We will ship your Samsung Gear VR to the mailing address you
provided when registering for this Offer. Your estimated shipping date is
April 1, 2016."
If you received the email about being ineligible for the Gear s2, you should still be good. Just got off the phone with customer support (50 minute wait) and they said a mass e-mail erroneously went out stating users were getting the opposite of what they selected. He verified my order was for the Gear S2. I would call just to be safe, but you should be good. He said I was his 35th case for the same issue.

Same here
I'll have to call customer support in the morning. Their open hours didn't mesh well with Hawaiian time.
You have to call prize logic at (888) 795-6442. They manage the promotion.
FYI, when I called, they guessed what it was about. The emails about getting a VR instead of S2 were errors. I was told that my S2 was being prepped for shipment April 1st.
I checked the status of mine at the link in Samsung's email and put in my email address. I submitted my first claim for my first new line on the 16th. I'm approved but don't have a ship date. I submitted my second claim for my second line very early this morning and that's approved also, and no ship date. My second claim was for the $100 towards Samsung products on their website they are offering at this point because they aren't going to be able to ship the VRs until the summer of this year for people registering late. I think it's crappy of them to offer $100 instead of $150 which was the value of the bundle, but I could use a wireless charger and/or a quick charge battery pack.

Yes; I got a similar email stating I was ineligible for the Gear S2 because my recipt was for a Store purchased S7.
I immediately responded back vi the web page & told them that was incorrect & that the receipt was printed from Verizon on-line for an on-line purchase.
Another response was received stating that they had escalated my complaint. I am now waiting for more response from them.
I'm thinking that this has happened to a lot of people & hope they take care of it quickly.

Who all has registered for the immersive bundle and received a link?

Registered for the immersive bundle as soon as I turned on the phone, but I haven't received any sort of confirmation email, approval/disapproval, or anything. Anyone have any success?
I registered for that and the link on the page to buy wasn't working. I got the email and the email only shows like it is for the headset only and not the sd card and headphones.
I just checked on my Shop Samsung App, and it shows that my application is currently under review. However, it also shows just "Gear VR with Controller" as the product. I'm on hold right now checking to make sure that they know that I asked for the Immersive Bundle...

same thing happened to me. the site crashed immediately and ive been trying to get a hold of a rep for over 25 minutes now. im pissed
Hey all,
Just wanted to give an update on my situation. I was on hold with samsung promotions for about an hour, and finally someone picked up. So apparently it went through as the normal Gear VR when I ordered through the website, which is bullcrap since I definitely selected the $99 bundle. So now I have to wait 24-48 hours for their customer service "escalation" representative to get in contact with me, which means that it's a crapshoot as to whether there will still be any of the bundles left by the time that's handled. I am pretty livid, but if anyone ordered the immersive bundle from the website and hasn't seen any movement with it, I HIGHLY suggest calling samsung and sitting through the holding period, because it may very well be the same case with you. For anyone who hasn't yet registered for the bundle, save yourself the trouble and do it on the app, not online, because I've only seen this from people who ordered online. I'll give more updates as I get them.
Yeah I am in the same boat. I am going to try and get them on the phone and see what's up. When I try to check with the app, it shows me only the headset vr and not the rest of the package which I wanted and selected. Did you use Chrome by chance? I wonder if there is a bug in the web app that causes things not to go through correctly.
Got mine done with no issues but when I hit the order button for the vr, headphones and sdcard it said my cart was empty. Called samsung via home phone and on hold for 25 minutes. She said she would straighten it out, got a call back in 15 minutes and she took my credit card information via phone, received an email stating the order went through. Asked her when she thought they would ship and she said after the 20th.
Ugh. On hold for an hour then disconnected. Time to start over.
Same here, registered and selected the immersive bundle on my laptop, it said i was approved to purchase the bundle and it gave me a "buy now" link but the link was not clickable and i was stuck. Now on hold for samsung rep. This was at 8pm eastern on 4/19 so its still a problem.
Was on hold again for 1.25 hours then got hung up on again. Going to give it a try one more time. If i don't get an answer the next 45 minutes going to try again tomorrow morning. I did try chat and they told me i needed to call. Found an email support option and emailed them a few hours ago.
I to am now on hold been about one hour and a half. All because that button did not work.
Same here. Tried to register for promotion online. It didn't work, said invalid mac address. I tried submitting again from Samsung app and it showed oops you already submitted a promotion. Tried to call Samsung was on hold for over an hour 20 minutes. Finally just hung up.
If you guys are doing the promotion, do it from the Samsung app first on your s8 or s8 plus to save headache.
I did my submission online and this is an email I got from Samsung.
"
Hello!
We apologize that you received an incorrect email based on your gift selection and were not able to purchase your fully immersive VR Experience for $99*.
Please be on the lookout for a new confirmation email that will be sent within the next 24-48 hours that will contain a link for you to purchase your fully immersive VR Experience.
We recommend you purchase as soon as possible as this gift is available for a limited time, while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis. "
I never got an email link when I submitted and it go approved. So I have yet to pay the $99
After I submitted my promo preference through the Shop Samsung app for the infinitely immersive package yesterday, I got an email saying they were reviewing my registration and to allow approximately 2 weeks for review, and then I would get an email with next steps. I decided to check the Shop Samsung app today and saw on the promo tab that the package was available to order. for $99. I thought it odd since it was only 1 day and I hadn't received another email, but decided to try it anyway. I just placed the order and got a success message and an order ID #. The expedited 2-day shipping (the only option) said it was going to be about $10, but when I finalized the checkout, it didn't charge anything for the 2-day delivery. I guess we'll see if it all works out, but it seems to have been the right process.
After 2 plus hours on hold with Samsung, due to high volume, their website has crashed and this is why the buy link is not working. They claimed that in 24 hours we should receive an email with the update status of the promotional deal and be provided a new link to upgrade to the Full Immersion Bundle. If you do not receive an email contact Samsung promotional department to help track your promotion. Hope this helps.
I initially did the promo through the Samsung app, chose the immersive bundle. Went through fine and got an email confirmation immediately. My PayPal was even charged the money. Guess I was one of the Lucky ones

Yes, i had a similar experience except that i was on hold last night for 1 hour 45 minutes and when i finally got someone she said my selected package went through and i would get an email with a link to buy the $99 bundle in the next few days. This morning i woke up and had the email waiting in my inbox and i just clicked the link in the email and completed my purchase and already got the confirmation email for my purchase. I also saw the same thing about shipping, the only option was expedited shipping for like $10-12 but when i checked it, there was no charge for that shipping. i was only charged the $99 for the bundle plus like $7 for tax for a total of $106 shipped to NJ.
I input my information on the app at 1:22pm on 4/19. My registration is still under review almost 32 hours later. No emails or links to pay. Could be because my email is different from the one I have on my tmobile receipt or because tmobile has a letter missing from the correct spelling of my name. Not sure what is holding my process up.

When I preordered my S8, I ordered it on Samsung's website where you had the choice to preorder with purchase of the imersive pack. I received my phone today, but not the extra gear. Samsung rep couldn't give me any other info today other than the imersive pack should ship soon or already has. Lol thanks...
