"I'm surprised at the negative comments about poor service.
My last order was for two times Samsung Galaxy S4.
I ordered on-line, checking the items were in stock and received the items the following morning. The phones were European spec (which I was aware of) so included EU power adaptors in the sealed Samsung boxes but the shipment included UK power adaptors.
Everything worked out of the box, no problems.
Only odd thing is the power adaptors and USB cables in the sealed Samsung boxes are white even though I ordered black phones, but this is a Samsung issue nothing to do with Expansys.
I have previously ordered two times Apple iPhone 5c plus a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini again next day delivery and everything worked out of the box.
Everything I have ordered from Expansys has come with a Europe wide manufacturer warranty.
In terms of cost of handsets the only cheaper supply is through Chinese import and the warranty is only supported by the importer and not the manufacturer."
"Ordered my NEXUS 4 (was informed that stock would be in, in 8 days ) although this 'expected date' went up and up in the following days! Got my phone after 14 days only to find that the ear-piece didn't work ( not expansys fault but the main function of a phone...right)
Sent back with all packaging as asked then had to wait 6 days whilst technicians at expansys confirmed the fault. Long time but fair enough. My real problem is that I was then told that I could not have my phone replaced by a similar Nexus 4 (16 Gb) as mine was a euro speck phone and the ones the expansys now had in stock were UK speck. I was completely unaware on buying of this speck (and believe me I checked the small-print)
EXPANSYS NOT ONCE IN THE LAST MONTH have YOU contacted ME. (No phone call or even E-mail)
I know I will get the usual copy and paste... (I have read your reviews) 'We are very disappointed with your expansys experience....'
I know there was a price difference in the 2 phones ( which I could have been persuaded to negotiate) but I have simply been offered a refund after buying a case £17.00, paying for returned recorded derive ry.£8.45 and all the unused credit lying on my new PAYGO SIM card here at my house.
Have incredibly been asked to call back next week..in 5 days, whilst expansys stock of this google phone (as online) dwindles away every day! I wonder, by next week if I will be told that the phone is now no longer in stock!
£204, 1 month, 10 calls ( from me, zero from you!) email ( including proof of my expenses) , no mobile, = ( In Expansys jargon) VERY, VERY POOR SERVICE!
Sorry readers for rattling- on abit... But this company have to give future customers more consideration and you should be made aware of what COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!
I INTEND TO KEEP YOU INFORMED......WATCH THIS SPACE,!
Chris. Uk customer.
UPDATE...UPDATE.
Over 5 weeks now and have just received a refund. Do not send back faulty goods via PO. As you will end up paying, use the courier service even though it's a pain if you have a full time job or just don't like staying in waiting all day for them to turn up.
Service desk are polite but cannot do anything without managers say so , unfortunately these managers are never, and I mean never available!
I've notice the majority of 5 Star feedback is for the cheaper items (phone case type stuff) So if your buying this type of stuff Expansys seem fine. However I really would recommend going elsewhere for high end merchandise. I have NO TRUST IN THIS COMPANY.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE CHART GRAPH AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE (on the right) About a Half OF IT SHOWS ONLY 1 OR 2 STARS! THIS IS BAD NEWS, WOULD -BE CUSTOMERS!
This is MY 1st AND LAST EXPANSYS REVIEW !
IF YOU READ THIS AND STILL DECIDE TO BUY...........GOOD LUCK!!
Chris (UK EX-CUSTOMER)

"After buying and paying with Paypal I received an email asking for address proof copy of Id or passport copy of salary and copy of cable,tel,or electric bill, if I did this in every site
the risk would be tremendous.Avoid buying with Expansys because
most probably you personal data would be on the line...
The order was obviously cancelled and now 7 days wait for refund."
"As a business customer I have to strongly recommend that you do not use Expansys, it's bad enough that people are not receiving gifts on time but when it's business critical items it's completely unacceptable that Expansys continually fob you off with empty promises of call backs and delivery dates.
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy 3 mini on the 28th August, paid extra for next day delivery and purchased a case at the same time. Next day the case arrived.... When I called to find out where the phone was there was massive confusion as they didn't know where it was themselves. Here's my list of excuses as to why I STILL have no phone 12 days later..
1. It's been shipped
2. It was supposed to go with City Link but instead TNT took it
3. We think it might have been stolen
4. It wasn't shipped, even though it's marked as shipped
5. It's not in stock but will be by Monday so you'll have it Tuesday
6. It came in too late on Monday to ship it, you'll have it Wednesday
7. It's not in stock, but it will be this week, you'll have it next Monday
8. (today) I need to speak to a colleague, we'll call you back
If I get no satisfactory response today I will cancel the order and our business account. Rest assured there will be no recommendations or service praise here. I'm suprised they have any business at all. "
"I ordered a BlackBerry Z10 and next day delivery. Although their website was showing 100+ of the item in stock, I phoned their customer services prior to ordering to confirm stock situation. I was assured they were well stocked and the item was available for next-day delivery. So, I placed my order. It was ONLY after placing the order that I discovered, through checking the online order status, that my phone won't be delivered according to the agreed schedule after all!
I found that whereas the phone was showing as being in stock the accompanying freebie, a phone case, was not! Under the situation their system REQUIRED ADDITIONAL PAYMENT OF £4.10 for next-day part-shipment. Though I was disappointed I CHOSE to PAY the part-shipment fee to ensure I received the phone in time.
I followed up my order with a phone call to confirm the delivery. I was told that whereas the phone was in stock the phone case was not. I had to remind them that I had paid part-shipment fee precisely for this reason: to have the phone delivered in time. I was promised a quick resolution and delivery.
It was supposed to be the delivery day today. However, a phone enquiry to Expansys has revealed no shipment has been made. I have, therefore, CANCELLED the order."
"No doubt Expansys will remove this review as I cancelled the order before it was despatched. Like many others on here I was lied to about stock levels and fobbed off when trying to get delivery details for an HTC One that they said they had in stock but still hadn't delivered 4 days later. Customer services are non existent and I will never order from them again. A shambles of a company. Do not use them. "
"Spot on!
I've ordered several times with no problems and always delivered as promised, but when I ordered my Nokia 701 this was a stand out.
It wasn't officially available in the UK but it was dispatched the very next day, and when I ordered it I had no idea where it was coming from but it was sent without fuss from Marseille in the South of France. For next day delivery from overseas at UK shipping costs just brilliant!"
"I have happily used Expansys for many years and know that I can get hold of the latest technology and gadgets fast and at a competitive price."
"Pretty much exactly what I wanted -- I was looking for a specific item, it was there, I bought it for a reasonable price, and it was delivered quickly and well packaged.
I wouldn't have any reservations about buying from them again."
"Excellent website, very easy to navigate. My purchase arrived within 24 hours. I will definately use Expansys - UK again."
"I ordered Huawei Ascend P1. Quick delivery! Excellent quality! Good value for money! "
"Excellent product and arrived very quickly. Will definitely shop here again."
"Have had excellent experience of dealing with Expansys over several years. Never had a complaint and was very satisfied with the whole process."
"I purchased a HTC one from Expansys with next day delivery! the next day I got a mail asking for proof of address, no mention of this when placing the order. This is totally unacceptable and I cancelled my order, I paid via Paypal and therefore my address was verified by Paypal. Avoid please!! I will be up to 7 days waiting for my money back. This was supposed to be a present for my wife's birthday. Have to try scrap some money together now to buy her something while I am waiting for these to give me my money back.together now to buy her something while i AM WAITING FOR THESE TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK."
"Definitely my "First" place to go to buy technology products... Polite, competent and swift to act on the rare occasions things go wrong"
