UK Shipping Is Delayed - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I recently received an email from Clove.co.uk (had pre-ordered from this site) that this week's shipping is delayed.
They wrote: "The first stock was due to arrive this week. However we have today had confirmation that stock has been delayed.
The first shipment of stock is now expected to arrive week commencing 12th March".
Can't wait for this beauty..

Same as handtec. If Sony wants to be number one they have to sort out their supply chain!

If you've ordered from the UK you're unfortunately out of luck. Can't wait to put my hands on it

Gah.... I am trying to balance patience with excitement for a new device like this.
I am in Canada, so lets say the best case is they start shipping mid week next week, then I am still looking at 2 weeks away
IF it isn't delayed or sold out on the first shipment.

Yep I have ordered from carphone warehouse for £429.95 offline. Damn man kmt, i hate when phones get delayed. I mean i am currently using a 5800 with a poor touch screen because I sold me xperia play and sgs2 last week to raise money to buy this beauty because i thought it would be here this week. I could have atleast held onto the sgs2 until ending of this week if i knew this was going to happen. Now i have to suffer with this 5800 with poor touchscreen til atleast next week. arggggghhhhhh

By looks of it, it is delayed to shops, where you can buy phone, not take it on contract. I might call phones4u uk tomorrow.

I spoke to Phones4U UK just now (via chat). Here is a transcription of the chat:
Please wait. An operator will be with you shortly.
Saiqa A:
Hello Lucas. My name is Saiqa A how can I help you?
Lucas:
Hello, I have one quick qestion.
Lucas:
*question.
Lucas:
Some shops in uk selling phones without contract have just informed clients that there is a delay getting Sony Xperia S in stock.
Lucas:
Does phones4U have them in stock already or you also have a delay getting them in stock.
Saiqa A:
Hello Lucas, Our delivery is scedualed for the 09/03/2012.
Lucas:
So I assume there won't be any delay, otherwise I think you would be informed about delay?
Saiqa A:
There is currently not a delay. If this was to change we will be contacting you via email.
Lucas:
I see, thank you very much for that.

I did not get any e-mails from Phones4U UK since order, so finger crossed.

I am due upgrade with TMobile, UK, just spoke to them, was informed they are expecting stock in on Fri 9th, however prices/tarrifs will not be available untill Sun 11th for new orders shipping out from them on Mon 12th. They have booked me a call back from themselves this Sun. I shall wait and see.

BuyMobilePhones caution?

I have ordered a T-Mobile upgrade thru BuyMobilePhones.net. Having never heard of the company before I was a little cautious. They do however have one of the best deals I've found for my situation:
600 mins
500 texts
500mb internet
18 months
£30 a month
19.99 for the phone
The closest mobiles.co.uk have got is £35/m and £50 for the phone. And as its an upgrade I don't have to fanny about changing my number over which is a Brucey bonus.
..........
I rang on bank holiday Monday and spoke to a bloke who basically said he cant do anything today as its a BH and he would be on the phone to T-Mobile for too long and he took my details and would call back Tuesday. 'Hmmmmm' I thought, and agreed.
I got a bit antsy in my pantsy so rang back an hour later. I spoke to another bloke who took my details and said he'd ring back in ten mins after speaking to T-Mobile, he took the telephone password for my account (the one you tell the operator when you ring up), I was a bit apprehensive but gave it too him anyway (I have changed it now). He rang back after about 20 mins and said its gone through and I should expect delivery on Wednesday. I said goodbye but was still suspicions.
I then rang T-Mobile an hour later and asked if there had been any changes to my account. They told me a dealer rang up questioning an upgrade to a Motorola Milestone but nothing had been put through. I rang back BMP.net but they had all gone home.
So I rang them today(Tuesday) and spoke to the same bloke and he said they have to put it through as a milestone to get the best deal. 'Fair play', I thought, but the big question is will I still get it tomorrow (Wednesday). He told me that he thought there would be enough stock in for my order but there may not be and I may actually get it Thursday.
I have just rang up T-Mobile (Tuesday 18:20) to ask if any upgrades had been put through on my account and they said 'No'. I will call BMP.net a call tomorrow (Wednesday) at 09:00 to chase it up again.
..........
The best number to call is 01773 522308.
Anyone else dealt with them before?
I've had a the same order as yourself, but it's been stuck on the processing stage since yesterday morning when I click on order status.
How long did yours take to process?
As mines an upgrade I don't get access to that part of the site
No worries, not sure processing should take this long. I have emailed them this morning regarding the issue but still no reply.
Give the above number a call 0900-1730
Will do, tomorrow, cheers
Let us know how you get on
I had a 'mare with Buy Mobile Phones a while back. Ordered a new phone, they dicked me about, finally sent it, when it arrived the box was open, so I sent it back and they told me they wouldn't accept it because the phone was 'used'.
I had to scream, shout and threaten them with the office of fair trade before they'd even concede that it was them that opened it (or someone previously); and even then they gave me the old 'as an act of good faith' line. They are, without doubt, the murkiest phone shop I've ever used.
I wouldn't trust them any further than I could push them with my piss.
Hi there,
I ordered with buymobilephones.net and my order was dispatched yesterday and is out with City link for delivery tomorrow - so they are definitely legit.
Many thanks
The confirmation email says delivery, sadly the tracking number isnt tracking. Will phone cancel tomorrow if no delivery.

Got the same deal as thread starter, got tracking info via email from BMF. Should be with me tomorrow.
Any problems I have had to date had been delt with swiftly!
Did anybody have a slow order processing, mines been nearly 2 days.
I also ordered the same deal as the first poster and I have a tracking number for City Link that is giving Wednesday as the delivery day with it currently underway to the delivery depot.
I ordered it 'new' despite being eligable for an upgrade with t-mobile. A new number for the specified deal appeared on my existing account ( a couple of my kids also have t-mobile contracts on my account) on Saturday along with the dispatch e-mail.
Therefore all looks OK.

I ordered on 11th of April and my order was 'processing' until Saturday.
This was a new order.
Status is now that it is on the delivery van. Unfortunately I won't be there to receive it today and touch and go whether there will be anybody at home at all, so may have to wait an extra day.
Just had an email response to say that they have a massive backlog of orders for the galaxy s 2 and that is the reason for the delay in processing my order.

Amazon.de orders delayed?

Ive just got an email from Amazon.de saying my order placed at the beginning of this week has been delayed due to bottlenecks in production and may take a further one to two weeks to deliver!
Has anyone else got the same?
..and I should say I ordered white.
it could be that amazon has placed 2 orders with the manufacturer.
when i preordered mine on the 9th of may, it still says delivery on the 30th. i spoke on the phone with amazon.co.uk and they told me that they have delivery of an amount of handsets for the 29th and then a bigger delivery on the 6th of june. So i presume is whoever managed to order one early on gets it a bit sooner, and if the stock for delivery on the 30th is gone, then that is why your's might come a bit later.
Amazon.co.uk website is still offering preorders for delivery on the 30th of both blue and white.

I got a mail from Amazon today that the delivery COULD be delayed by 1 to 2 week.
On the status page it still says delivery on 30.5.
So I hope for the best.

i suppose that is from the german amazon.de? right?
actually here is a note from amazon.co.uk when you visit the page that sells the phone:
Note on Samsung Galaxy SIII Availability:
We have been made aware that there may be a slight delay in the arrival of some Samsung Galaxy SIII stock into the UK. We will keep you informed of any new information as soon as we receive it. All pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come first-served basis and we will not charge your credit card until we are ready to ship your order.
lets hope its delivered as expected!!!
I got an email May 10th saying mine will be delivered June, between 4 and 9, no more emails since
I pre-ordered the white one on May 12th on Amazon.de, and haven't gotten the email yet. Spoke with Amazon reps some of them said that this is a "technical error" (that I haven't received the email), others have said that it might be dispatched, but that they "don't want to make any false promises". My status page still says 30.5.
There already was a discussion on this topic in Galaxy S III Pricing, Availability and Pre Order Thread
There are quite a few in the amazon forum reporting that amazon told them upon request (like the chat) that there is a delay of one or two weeks and that the displayed delivery date of the order may not be correct.
I am one of those.
I have read at least one updating the shipping method to the fast one and this caused the delivery date to be updated to about two weeks later.
According to most personal of amazon.de this delay includes anyone who did a preorder.
We'll have to wait until next week to find out if this is true.
What a chaos!!!11Eleven
If I look at the amazon.de page at this moment, you can order the blue and white version for 621,- € with delivery at 31.5

Yes, but this one is not sold by Amazon directly, but by Notebook.de. Amazon still sells at 587 EUR with 1-3 weeks delay.
Does anyone know where I could buy the phone locally in Austria (Vienna)? Saturn doesn't have it on the website, neither does MediaMarkt.
Nope.
It looks like the delay is not restricted to amazon but most or all vendors.
I don't think you'll get lucky with a normal vendor.
Don't expect saturn or mediamarkt to have them any time soon, the austrian ones are always slow on picking up new stuff compared to the german ones.
Maybe there is more luck with a mobile operator, but I did not check on this since I am not interested in buying it with a contract and have it sim-locked (if you are willing, then the offer from orange.at might be a good one).
But hey, it's 'just' supposted to be one or two weeks.
Drink tea, relax and wait (yea I know, it's hard, i'm just trying on that myself)

Yeah I figured I'll tour Orange, T-Mobile, and Drei tomorrow and see if I could get one without contract, though I doubt it. Still waiting for news from Amazon about the definite delay...
I'm gonna wait until the madness does down and stock aplenty so i can get one within a week
Just got another email, delayed to 19 - 26 June
I also got an email from Amazon.de today. I pre-ordered a pebble blue S3 on the 15th of May. It now says that it will be delivered from June, 14th to June, 15th.
So that's another 2 weeks of waiting.
Same here. This is a bit frustrating. Samsung should've addressed this problem earlier, how could they let this slip? After all, this is one of the most anticipated phones of the year.

FYI: Clove have stock of White 920

Just for anyone looking for sim free stock in the UK, I just got an email from clove saying they are getting some white 920 in tomorrow and their site says £520 inc vat. I'd imagine they'll go quick so get over there if you want one.
I caved and picked one up at the weekend on contract in black and it's an awesome phone. Had a look at white, but actually think black looks classier with the matt finish and also feels nicer to hold than the gloss white. The white still looks very nice though in the flesh - I was very tempted!
Thanks for the heads up ....just ordered mine. Do you know if they come factory sealed? I have had bad experiences of buying SIM free handsets from Amazon in the past where the phones looked like customer returns

I ordered mine yesterday.
We might be eligible to get a free wireless charger from Nokia, Clove are looking into that atm.
If Im not unlucky, I should have it in my hands thursday or friday, as the phones arrive today after FedEx has made their pickup and thus will be sent out tomorrow.
I figuratively cannot wait!

I ordered mine around 8pm (Norwegian time) yesterday, got this email at 11.16am today:
"Many thanks for the information. Your order will now be progressed. When we send your order you will receive your tracking reference by email. We are expecting our machines today, however, probably not in time for Fedex, so your order will be shipped Wednesday for delivery within 1-2 working days."
A user on a norwegian discussionboard ordered as well around the time I ordered, and his just changed to SHIPPING about 15 minutes ago, delivery via DHL.
Im expecting it in-hand by thursday/friday.

Update from Clove.
"Hi all,
Just to confirm:
If you have managed to place an order, your Lumia 920 will be shipped from stock that we receive this week.
We shipped as many orders as possible on 13/11, but due to the late arrival of stock and the timings of our courier collections, we were unable to ship some orders. We do expect to ship remaining outstanding orders today.
At the moment we do not know when we will receive more stock, nor stock of the other colour variants, but will provide an update as soon as we have some more info."

Would it be possible for someone who's ordered from clove be able to confirm the device is factory unlocked please? I'm on an O2 contract, and very tempted to get myself a 920 factory unlocked/sim free, provided it will accept my o2 sim card, unlike the "sim free but locked to EE" devices that phones4u are selling. I know Clove are stating that their devices are factory unlocked, but it'd be nice if this could be confirmed.
Thanks
Ian
A guy on a norwegian smartphone forum got his today, its unlocked.
Also, I have an email from Clove confirming that they are in fact unlocked and will work with my operator here in Norway, which would mean its fully unlocked indeed.
did the norwegian guy get his phone from clove?
Thanks
Ian
Yeah of course, I thought that was implied .

UK release date confirmed

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.
Here's the Clove order page with the new info

I phoned Clove earlier & asked about the chances of a Saturday delivery. The guy told me if I'd chosen Royal Mail as the delivery method it would be quite likely. If I'd chosen another courier it would almost definitely be a Monday delivery. I changed it over to royal mail on the phone

Well even if yours arrives on Monday you'll be pleased anyway to have a SmartWatch 2 and a SBH20 FOR FREE!
I have to check here for some offers, because 612 GBP plus 26 GBP (s&h) will result in like 750 euros, which is A LOT.
BUT, official Italian Sony site says the base price for the Z Ultra s 729 euros, so I guess I'll have to think about it, given that here a SW2 would cost 199 euros...
I have a friend going to NY mid September, but even with the exchange at 1.35 it wold cost me more than that...
What to do... What to dooooooooo??
EDIT: now that I've seen samsung and Sony (ironically my S3 writes the two initial "s" as I wrote them ) conferences, I'm more than ever convinced on the ZU.
Other than that, buying the ZU from Clove seems a real deal, but I wanted to ask some of you if they have had previous experiences, as in if I incur in some problems, will they change my device, are they reliable? Do they answer promptly to email (as I'm in Italy, I won't be phoning but emailing instead)?

This is my first purchase from Clove although they have been on my radar for a couple of years now so I can't help you with return issues sorry. I did however email them a few times with nagging questions about when they would be expecting the ZU to arrive etc. TBH they took over a day to respond to my emails. They did respond every time & but it wasn't as quick as I'd of liked. Speaking to them by phone seems to be the best method as they have always been polite, helpful & quick to answer any questions.
It does seem like an excellent deal when comparing the freebies from Clove & the prices other retailers are selling just the handset for...

I bought one white ZU (plus SmartWatch 2 and SBH20, luckily it's written on the receipt so no one could tell me "you weren't in time" ), and a DK30 dock for a total of about 674 GBP, a little more than 800 EUR. According to the Sony official site in Italy, I would have spent a little less than 1K EUR, so that's a real deal for me.
What I don't understand is, as this is a preorder (well, part of it, since the DK30 is in stock right now), why they billed me for the full order right away.
I was under the impression that there were a complex following of security questions, and that the billing would be when the product is actually in stock, but I may have misunderstood that.
Could you confirm that when you go to your account, under your order it says "BACKORDER"?
I thought it meant that they had a product and they don't anymore, but maybe they use it as in "we don't have it", full stop.
Waiting for your confirmation...

Yeah, mine says the same... I ordered a sbh52 before I'd ordered the handset as I knew I was going to get it any way & that says preorder but the handset says backorder.
When I spoke to the guy on the phone the other day he assured me I would receive the smartwatch etc & that mine would be from the first batch as I was one of the first orders (August 9th)

Ok, thanks, you really relieved me.
I assume that either they have a lot of handsets on the way, or they didn't have many orders until now.
Anyway, I don't care as long as I have my handset for monday/thursday (I chose FedEx, they're usually quick...)...

I ordered the ZU from Clove ages ago and took payment then so nothing to worry about.
Eagerly awaiting its arrival. What colour did you guys go for? I went for white (my first white Xperia), as it looks more premium than the black version. Which ones did you go for?
I went for black. My Note 2 was white (first white handset I've owned) & I always regretted it when I saw the grey version...
I'll put up with the finger print magnet black this time

I have to say I'm still in two minds - I love the white aluminium finish on the sides and the back will show fingerprint marks less.
However, I'm not keen on the front of the device with the white border, which takes away some of the immersion when viewing content.
I'm in half-a-mind to change, but can't decide. I've been umming and ahhing for days now!
Almost had the same thought - use one of the light backcovers if blacks back is freaking you out.
Giving you the generally harmonious design of the black version, and leaves you alone with cleaning session if you're bugged of it.
Very close to switching my order now, the more I think about it, I think black will be better overall. The XZU will go into a case anyway, so the fingerprint problem isn't too much of an issue.
I just opened an account and ordered the C6833 LTE from here.

Its the same deal as clove with the free SW2 SmartWatch & SBH20 Bluetooth Headset. Altogether it cost me £543.05 You can get it one 3 months interest free credit but I'll just pay it off when the bill arrives.

Personally I'll be selling the free accessories, so all in ill be paying £400ish for the device.
But seriously dude even if people were paying double that, just let them spend their money as they see fit, its no concern of yours.

Not in my country I'm not. In my country it costs ~£640, I bought it from Clove at 675, but while in my country I would have had only the handset, with that money I paid the handset, a SmartWatch 2, a bluetooth headset SBH20, a DK30 dock, and I also paid for priority shipping.
I won't sell the accessories simply because I would have bought them anyway, so, for me, this is saving money, not "paying stupid money".
You wanna get it in February when it costs 450? Suit yourself, nobody is telling you what to do.
And by the way, I've seen people spending three times what was worth a PlayStation 1 when it first came out just to buy it on D1, and the same thing happens over and over again with hundreds of items, so go and wait for a price cut while we stand in line to get our first batch.

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.
I also ordered my XZU way back in early August(Seems like forever) and saw the confirmed date...I had messaged Clove just after that date was posted and they replied that they still did not have a confirmed date from Sony, so I don't know what to make of this and will hope that this is indeed true....

[Q] Regarding Clove Pre-orders

I was wondering if anybody else who pre-ordered from clove got any word on when they would start shipping the Z2? The only answer I got so far is early to mid-May. I've never ordered anything from Clove before so I don't know what to expect.
I ordered a Z, ZL and Z1. Now I have a preorder for a Z2. Never had any problem. I have the same info you do.

Yeah, I e-mailed them. They just told me that they will ship when they expect their shipment to come in.
They answered to someone on their blog.
"No confirmed day yet Nick. As far as we are aware, Carphone are still selling through their initial stock provided earlier this month"
I think i am going to get my money back in 2 days.Because this guys dont know anything about the release date.Its so unprofessional.i made big mistake i paid them last month.I would've get my phone from CPW 10 days ago.
I think Clove is doing their job. They are very quick on posting responses on their blog and very knowledgeable and dedicated to their business. They even pulled the Z2 from the top part of their website. I believe the problem is with Sony, and they have been slammed with orders worldwide. Sony did not expect this many orders and were not prepared for it. A little lack of strategy and market planning, but still, I'm waiting on mine and it's all good.
