Like the other times (4) I ordered and did business with Expansys, everything went right. I live in Canada and they always ship from USA within 48 hours.
Nothing to complain about. Even for exchanging a phone with 1 missing pixel on the screen, I had no problems at all. Thank you!

These guys do not even try to read emails. Tried to make a purchase by Bank Transfer.
The customer support insisted that my credit card had been declined??? I tried patiently to explain that Bank transfer has nothing to do with a credit card, but they would not understand. How come these people are in business?
addendum: after much fuss I was finally able to communicate with someone who wrote sensible things. Unfortunately I had gone with another company....
Maybe I will consider them in the future...? This review was modified by its author, gjergji, on

All was sorted out by customer service. While there were some initial problems, everything eventually worked out in the end. This review was modified by its author, mikemike511, on

The item showed "3 days to ship" when I ordered. It then kept changing to 5, 8, 3, 10, 14 days till about 10 days when I cancelled the order.

I ordered a part on 1/20/09. Each time I emailed an inquiry they said they were expecting the item "by the end of the week".
A month later and it still is not in stock. Needless to say, I canceled my order. Fortunately, they were prompt in sending an email confirming cancelation. Now I just need to make sure my card doesn't get charged.

This trading website is the worst I have ever seen! Those guys are unbelievably unorganized and they almost have no customer support. All they have is a representative that lies to you and promise to get back to you with information about your order later and that never happens!!! Here is an order I placed and was pending for TWO MONTHS!
www.expansys-usa.com/tracking.aspx?ref=8B8D8C1D8CEA&passcode=Q4898
I called them more than ten times and emailed them few others, I even emailed the parent company but I never got any response… BEWARE

Ordered the Logitech Harmony One universal remote.
They call me saying that the remote is soon discontinued and it will take 3 weeks to deliver it. I checked with Logitech who confirms this.
10 days later, I got it by FedEx! A brand new clean remote.
However I mail them: the package comes from HK and they forgot to slip the plug-adapter into the envelop.
The next day another FedEx with the plug is delivered for free!

I ordered a TV and paid by credit card. The order was confirmed by email. I then received a further email saying I had to pay by bank transfer. There was no problem with the credit card. My bank confirmed this and said no payment request had been made. Customer services tried to tell me that there was better cover when paying by bank transfer than credit card. This is untrue. They then said it was due to the order being over £1000 - it was not. I cancelled the order as I decided bank transfer was too risky.

This company's returns policy is arbitrary, high handed and contravenes all EEC and UK consumer legislation. I paid for a (faulty) item several weeks ago and having returned it, now have no goods and no satisfaction from eXpansys. Having told me that my 'unlimited, lifetime, unconditional, no quibble, guarantee' was useless, refused to communicate further. Avoid this company at all costs!

Purchased through their website on Friday, paid £9.99 extra for Saturday delivery. Item was "on request" which to me meant non-stock item and it would be drop shipped. System allowed me to order and said it would be shipped to arrive Saturday.
Saturday spent all day waiting for nothing.
Rang them Monday, bored person on the phone said I should have known it wasn't in stock as it clearly stated on the website. Err no it didn't, it said "on request", to me implying it would be drop shipped by a third party. Apparently I should have known Expansys don't do drop shipping.
Then went on to say Saturday delivery isn't guaranteed anyway and I should have known that too! Pardon me for being so stupid.
Spoke to manager, less bored sounding but equally unbothered, more interested in arguing about semantics than anything useful. Said I should have rang the order in, he would have! Yes let's forget this whole internet thing, big waste of time.
Suggested they update the wording to be more clear, also don't allow Saturday delivery to be chosen if they know it's not going to be delivered Saturday. He said it's for the board to decide (how does anything ever get done there???) but he thinks it's clear enough.
Very poor, could try harder.

Arrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!
They didn't cancel the order, they charged me and sent it anyway! My brain hurts!!! Now I've got to waste my time trying to deal with them again, send the thing back probably at my expense and wait for a refund. Who knows how long that'll take?
Absolute idiots - steer well clear. This review was modified by its author, simond123, on

I placed an order with Next Day Shipping from this company for an item that I needed by the next day. Despite all the payment information being correct, they called my phone and left a message saying they needed me to call back to confirm the order. I was unavailable to do so until after their business hours, so my order was not shipped same-day as promised. Now I won't receive it in time and I'll have to go through the hassle of canceling the order.
Why do none of the reputable resellers require the phone call? I suspect it was going to be an attempt to sell over-priced accessories.
I will stay away from Expansys in the future.

Expansys claimed to have items in stock. This was not true. There tracking system gives very optimistic values. Expansys does have a Swiss website and a Swiss phone number. However, I could not find there office in the telephone book. Every phone call will be answered from there office in Germany. I believe they know well, that items are not in there stock - in my opinion, a cutomertrap.

Well, I have to be the devil's advocate here because I have nothing but facts to prove that expansys.ca (same company as mobileplanet) did a decent job. They had the RTX 3088 skype phone that I had been looking for and they delivered it before Christmas! It said 4-5 business days on their website, I ordered it Wednesday, 19th and got it the following Monday morning, the 24th. Wow, I was impressed especially after reading some of the former reviews.
Just a note, I phoned their customer number to confirm availability, no toll free number in Canada unfortunately, and spoke with their sales rep -in the UK. Courteous enough.
So, as of now, I would say: decent price (not great, but still), polite sales staff, excellent product selection and fast shipping to my area in Ottawa area. This review was modified by its author, baldclub, on
