Well my order didn't change status to 'shipped' until around 6pm. I remember ordering from them before and there being a later shipment on the same day. Either way it's going to arrive quicker than one from Nokia.

The quickest order I've ever received was from Dabs. Ordered at 8:45pm and it arrived 10am next day!

Yeah, Dabs are really good for deliveries.

Scan are another one. They send you a text when they ship your order.

How about this for customer service, pre-order The Sims 3 from Play.com, and it arrived a day before release!

Swapped my broadband provider from PlusNet to Be. Requires a BT bod to go to the exchange to swap a cable.

They said 18th June.

Today, guess what happened? Yup, exactly what they promised.

Scan.co.uk, Expansys.co.uk - Problem with the credit card? They advised me, allowed me to call Barclaycard, and they resubmitted the order.

Nokia are a joke and a laughing stock. I just hope that the phone is better than their store! I have never evern come across a more inadequately run, inept, useless operation as the Nokia shop.

I'd never ordered from them before but I'm pretty sure I won't order from them again. When I called to cancel my order she asked why. I told her expansys had the N97 in stock and would deliver next day, and she said I was the second person she'd spoken to today that had said that. Not surprising really.

Remember that although you lost your �75 discount you will get �30 of expansys vouchers so that's something a little more positive.

That's true. Im also making a formal complaint to Nokia (2nd one) and asking for some kind of compensation. Hell, even if it's only like a free case, or a free charger, something free... Perhaps a 16 Gig Micro SD Card, or �75 voucher for the Nokia online shop

Erm, scratch the last five words

I'm with o2... I thought they bought out Be. But I know exactly what you mean. I used to work at Orange Broadband Technical Support, and I knew for a fact that when an LLU line is setup, it takes a whole extra week from the date promised to set it up. My brother realised this himself through experience.

Is it really lost though? I don't know much about Quidco, granted, but surely you could get the discount from other items through them.

Actually, Telefonica bought Be. Telefonica already own O2. So the O2 network rides on the Be network technically.

So I have got an LLU line now with Be, upto 24 Meg (16 Meg at the mo) and actioned within a week.

I could buy other items, but those are other items that I would have had the discount on, on top of the �75. So yeah, I do consider the �75 lost.

Well, I was half right... almost...ish 😉

Good point. Still, here's hoping your phone arrives today and it'll be �75 well spent 😊

Just an update my N97 black from Expansys has just arrived and is now charging. And contarty to the bulls*ht from the guy at Nokia it is a full uk version not a grey import

One thing of note you dont get the �30 voucher in the box, I rang Expansys and the lady says they are sent a code via email 14 days later

I ordered my N97 from Expansys yesterday morning and recieved it an hour ago. Can't wait to get home and get my hands on it! 😃

My N97 arrived at 7am this morning. I'm glad I wasn't the only one with no vouchers. Saves me a call to expansys. 😊
