I've brought a few products from Expansys over a number of years. Certainly not a big spender with them and haven't brought heaps, but I've had no problems whatsoever.

As for Expansys, I've brought a few things from them over the years and never an issue, and they are still around, so I guess that's a good sign too.

OMG people. Bought!
B-O-U-G-H-T
And johnr has a point. The subject and OP could be laid out a lot better.

Anyway, had a few mates buy from them, no problems.
Apparently great to deal with if any questions arise.

have bought a phone from them about two years ago, took about a week to be delivered so I think it came from overseas but no problems at all.

And, coincidentally, it was a Windows mobile!

I have removed a few posts that were completely off topic and asked the user not to do it again.

My 2c: I'm always tempted by deals on Expansys until I get to the shipping options. I find their shipping options way too expensive and you're probably better off ordering from Amazon (via YouShop). Apart from that they have been around a long time and I the people I know who have ordered from them havent had any issues.

I've bought two phones (HD2/Lumia 800) off them and had no issues. They handled replacement of the Lumia 800 without any dramas.

You have to jump through some hoops like scanning your photo ID for them and you need to work out what the total including possible customs tax is going to cost.

I buy from them if it's something I want to get way before it's going to show up officially in NZ. The Lumia 920 just happened to turn up at Telecom very early so I didn't bother with Expansys this time.
