Advantages: None Disadvantages: Misleading and lied to.
Rubbish - avoid them like the plague.
Ordered an Otterbox on-line, with a 1-4 day delivery date via Royal Mail.
Received my e-mail confimration saying my item had been shipped the next day.
Wait the alloted 4 working days, because I know Royal Mail have their moments, then phone Expansys.
I was told that it was shipped the day of my order, but from the US!!!
Estimated delivery should be within 21 days, but if it hasn't come by then, call us ... ...told I couldn't until the item arrived, and I could then send it back and get a refund.
This is of course a lie. Under the Distance Selling Regulations, you can cancel at any time.
Two weeks later, I'm still waiting, and their website still shows the item I wanted as being in stock at their Central warehouse in Slough, which is not true. ...

Advantages: Travel with only one power adapter for phones, pdas, gps, ipods etc Disadvantages: none
I already own an iGo Wallpower charger, with which I'm very happy. I wanted to collect the right power tips so that when we travel I need to carry only one charger rather than the motley collection of chargers, cords and adapters we normally need. Expansys were the only place in the UK I could find this particular tip for my wife's Palm M515. Having ordered it, my order sat for a few days with a future expected delivery date. So I contacted Expansys ... ...said they'd get one shipped from the US as a special order. Not only did they do this, but they kept me fully informed about when I could expect it. All for an item that cost under £4 including shipping. In my opinion this is great customer service and I'll happily use Expansys again (and again...) Oh, and the power tip charges the Palm, just as it said it would. Very pleased. ...

Advantages: Good price but... Disadvantages: Shows item in stock but after ordering status of order becomes waiting indefinitely
I ordered an item from them and waited for 2 weeks with promises from them both via email and over the phone that the item would be in within 5 days after already having waited 5 days. Note that during the whole 2 weeks of my ordeal, the site showed that the item I ordered was in stock but once you placed the order, the status of the order is awaiting stock, but website still shows item as in stock. It is terribly disgusting that they can't even ... ...still is that they brazenly lie about their stock on their website, and make no effort to correct it even after they know there is an order that they can't fulfill. And then when you call them they lie about by claiming that it will be in, in x number of days or they blame it on their suppliers. The last straw was on the afternoon of the 10th working day when I was told over the phone that they now do not know when the item would be coming in. I ...

Advantages: None that I can think of Disadvantages: Terrible customer service. Double charged my credit card
Expansys have double charged me for an item ordered a month ago and still have not delivered it, even though they reported it as shipped a fortnight ago
I have written to their customer support twice and have not received a reply to either email
I have called them twice and both times the reps said they'd call me back but haven't
They vary between telling me that the item has been shipped/ not shipped in the course of the same conversation but ... ...the name of the courier used and a tracking number
I have had a refund of one of that charges made but only because I wrote to them warning them that I would be reporting a fraud to my credit card supplier if I didn't get my money back ASAP
Steer well clear of this bunch of cowboys
Absolutely appalling ...

I bought a product the 16/12/2008,
They didnt have it in stock so they said it would take 8 days to get the product and send it.
8 days later, it was still stated "waiting for stock arrival" so i sent an email.
They did not respond to the email, so I sent them another one.
They responded to this one saying that it is indeed still waiting for stock, and if i needed any futher information, i could email them again.
So about 2 weeks later, I sent ... ...same state, and they didnt respond.
Finally the 7th of January (3 weeks later?!) I got an email from seemingly an official spokesperson from Expansys, saying that my product was coming in the next day, and that it should be shipped the same day.
We are now the 13th of January and I have yet to recieve my product, and answers to my dozens of emails i have sent.
My conclusion is that these people are not at all professionals, and they have an attitude ...

Quick review of expansys.com
I ordered a WII + Sports and the WII Fit + cover. Found out after that was not all in stock but I held out for whole shipment. Friday before Xmas requested part despatch, arrived next day. Day before Xmas Eve called to say thankyou for first delivery and how was the balance of order doing to be told end January 2009. However it arrived the next day! All telephone calls I have made have been answered very pleasantly and handled in a polite and helpful manner.
The product is great - such fun and a way to keep fit indoors.
I would highly recommend eXpansys. ...

Advantages: prices are good Disadvantages: products are sent to you which are customers faulty returns, awful customer service
Ordered from this company last week, item was shown as in stock on the website and that I would get in time for xmas. It arrived 5 days later, thought that was good at first. Took off the black wrapping and found a rip in the box, opened the box and the inside packaging was damaged. The product itself was obviously a faulty customer return as the DVD part would not open or close, it was missing a foot and had loads of major marks and scratches. It ... ...was told to return the product myself, it was not until I kept on at them that they arranged a courier. Which I am still waiting for to collect the item. God knows how long I will have to wait for a collection and a refund.
Awful customer service, no one bothered to apologize for this matter, but only argue that the product was new and they sounded like they couldn't care less.
It was not new that is for sure, even the batteries were loose. ...

Advantages: Initially they appear to be competitively priced Disadvantages: Poor customer service, No free returns policy, Poor lead times
I recently purchased a RTX DUALphone 3088 from Expansys. If asked to recommend this company to anyone my response would be: "STAY WELL CLEAR". The product I received was defective so I had to return it. It took them two weeks to confirm its receipt only after calling them 3 or 4 times because I never received any emails from them. Customer services were giving me conflicting accounts on progress of my replacement. The first customer service rep told ... ...me there was no record of it. They promised the customer services manager to give me a call - I'm still waiting! After all this palaver it took another 2 weeks for me to receive my replacement. In all it took just over a month to resolve what should have been a straightforward exchange. In my experience, having dealt with many online firms, Expansys is by far the worst firm I've had to deal with. There were two reasons why I decided to buy from this ...

I must say I'm very disappointed with eXpansys. I bought an OQO 01+ for a good price in spring this year. The device was often broken, but that's not what annoys me (it's OQOs device and not eXpansys'). Last repair is a great example: I phoned eXpansys, they told me to send the device in with a detailed error description and they would repair it. Well, I did so, but when my device came back (after 1 month...), it was still not repaired. That's what eXpansys calls service, well done.
So, be careful when buying there. Expansys got good prices, but no service. ...

Advantages: They seem to have a wide stock of supplies. Disadvantages: Horrendous customer service & they put their own 'terms and conditions' above the law!!
Stay away from this company! They ignore the law and despise customers! I bought an MWG Atom Life pocket PC phone for over £200 on 4/05 - it broke down by 19/06. I filed a claim under my legal consumer rights and got a replacement which they called 'an act of good will'. The replacement, which I got on 26/06 broke down within 4 weeks again. I contacted them again on 1/08, then wrote letters (both recorded and e-mails) on 4, 5 and 6/08. It took them ... ...rude and brusque, and they are refusing to take responsibility and are only offering me a 'warranty repair', although the law says otherwise!!! Their customer service manager called me (perhaps in the attempt to intimidate me?) to tell me that he knows his staff and, though 'I am entitled to my opinion', 'he refuses to believe they do not behave appropriately'.
I have warned them that I will take them to court if, as per the law, they fail to return ...

I have been a customer of Expansys for some years now and have always received a good product ( clear and precise descriptions are invaluable during choice of product), fast service and excellent communication facilities.
It is for these reasons that whenever I require new or updated computer or electrical products my first port of call is www.expansys.com.

Check out their returns policy before buying from them. You have to wait for an RMA number and then send the goods back yourself !
Brand new item, didn't work, has taken them 8 days to send me an RMA number. Stupidly I presumed they would collect it and drop off a new item. Fool !
Another lost customer. Goodbye Expansys. ...
