Ordered Dec 23rd: Merimobiles
Still nothing, customer service says if I don't see it by this weekend they will send me a new one. Plus it just so happens I sent in that rebate for the free dock and paid the investment of $10.50 to the U.S.Merchants. I have yet to see either one. Anyone in the same boat still? When all is said and done I might have 2 docks. Unless we have another snow storm.

I plan on turning this whole situation into a game, which ever one gets here first will be showered with gifts and pampered. The latter with have to endure the heart ache and smells of being the charger for in the kids bathroom or a ice scraper, snow shovel ect.
Why can't they get more of this stuff in the US? They should be all over EBay by now!
Try checking your tracking number against whatever your mail provider is (mine showed up on CanadaPost).
If it still doesn't turn up I would raise an issue with paypal/your credit card company. Merimobiles has lied to me about shipping details, there's no reason for them to have your money.
I have ordered two items from china in January. One cleared Shenzen on 1/15 and I got it on 2/6. The other cleared on 1/23 and I got it on 2/8
It seems things have really slowed down from there on china post airmail
Merimobiles is a terrible vendor. They are doing the same bs to me (even after completely admitting that the shipping problem is thier mistake). They are a bad company that doesn't take care of its customers. I highly suggest that everybody avoids doing business with them.
Swyped from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
I will avoid them. Thanks.
Just total got mine a minute ago. Ordered from merimobiles dec 26th. I live in são Paulo Brasil.

I order on the 12/26 and have the exact same as the above, with the exact reply from merimobiles about shipping another if I don't get it by this weekend. Unless they overnight it why would I expect that a second one would make it to me.

I ordered my Dock 12/30/2010, received a "Your Order Has Shipped" email on 1/19/2011. Got my Tracking Number and this is what was reported:
Destination - United States of America
The item (RB176555762HK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 22-Jan-2011.
It looks as though it is still being processed! I sent an email to [email protected] so they could explain the status delay. No response 2nd request was sent today.
EKS
FWIW - I ordered a Leather Case w/ USB keyboard & Mini Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard w/ touchpad and laser pointer from Ankaka.com January 6, 2011.
The tracking system provided this response:
Destination - United States of America
The item (RT083003489HK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 17-Jan-2011
So, my Ankaka items are officially in the mail and should arrive San Jose, CA any day. My merimobiles.com Docking station is still in Hong Kong being processed for departure.
It seems that merimobiles choose the cheapest delivery option each time they ship something. Like they try to accumulate packages to make one huge shipment to US for less money.
If you go to the USPS web site and under tracking teb enter the track number, you can see progress once they receive it.
Damn... did you all forget it's a slow boat to/from China?
My dock took almost 30 days to arrive from Merimobiles. It was a race between the doc and usb keyboard case I ordered. The doc won by 3 days.
I decided to e-mail them being as nice as I possibly can here is the reply e-mail:
hi sir,
sorry for the matter.
the tracking number is: RB*********HK
please ask your local post of it.
if you dont get it next weekend. we will ship another one to you again. ok?
thank you.
Regards,
Janey
www.merimobiles.com
Then:
hi sir,
we asked the post and they told us that time because of the bad weather. all packages delayed about 2weeks. the package is on the way to your country now. if you dont get it next weekend. we resend you another one again or refund you. ok?
thank you.
Janey
www.merimobiles.com
I got a few emails from Janey too. I already did my venting on another thread, but this company is horrible. I think that their support people are all the same person. Always say sir. Always is all lower case. Always bad grammar and you are lucky if the sentence make any sense. The last response I got six days ago said that they would check on my order, but crickets since then.
Then I call up US Merchants to see why I still haven't received my rebate dock from 11/26 purchase and they say that they are having trouble getting the docks from Viewsonic and it will be at least another couple weeks before they get them.
I am livid.
Merimobiles Answer to your threads
Hi we know many docking stations where delayed in the regular mail during the months of December and January. As you know this is a free shipping item rated at 14-21 business days. During those months there has been many delays in the regular mail. We can assure you we ship them promptly. The situation is now alot better and most packages are arriving promptly in the advertised time and the regular time that it should take by regular mail. We do care alot about our customers. We do have a policy when it takes over 1 month we reship or refund. Many people have received there docking stations already. Shipping times are back to normal, and contrary to what 1 member claimed we don't chose the cheapest way possible to ship, its a regular mail shipping item like any other item, and every year during the holiday time there is always delays in the mail. Things are back to normal now, we can assure you on our part we ship them promptly, its unfortunate some people had to experience delays from the mailing system. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact us. And no there is more than 1 person answering the emails in contrary of what 1 member claimed.
thank you

Thank you for your reply. I didn't start this post to defile Merimobiles. That was not my intention. I was stating I had both Merimobiles and U.S.Merchants both sending me docks since Dec. of 2010 and have not seen either one and was wondering if others had received theirs yet. You do however get a +1 for lurking the XDA forums. Janey has been nice answering my questions and she did state that if I didn't get it by this weekend that I could have you guys refund or resend it to me. So I'll correspond with her later this afternoon if I haven't seen it.
One plus on still not receiving a dock from merimobiles, where my order was placed on 12/26. I read the statement above with respect to bad weather. Didn't we hear a similar story from another supplier of cases? Basically I don't accept the weather argument....
Any advice on how to proceed with a refund request?

I brought a rubber case suround from my HTC HD ( expansys.com) , they sent me an email saying :
" I'm sorry for the delay in your order. Demand for the cases has been very high and we have had a lot of backorders predating your own.
We should receive enough stock to fulfill your order in about 2 weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Yea they got me also. . . and every time i call they keep telling me another two weeks to a month before they even receive the cases. . . It has been over a month since i ordered it (feb 27th to be exact) I'm pretty pissed to say the least
Expansys are very good if the item is in stock. My advice is, if it's out of stock, just cancel your order immediately. They always have a stock expected date and it just keeps getting put back. You can wait for months!

We do apologize for any inconvenience that this delay has caused.

Hi guys, I though it would be a good idea to start a threat just for everyone who placed an order through Play.com UK and paid full price.
We can use this thread to keep everyone updated on the progress of their ordered, and any updates etc; whether they are able to get it at the discounted price, full refund, partial refund etc.
I ordered a 16GB this morning at 8:30am, and order was confimed at 2:44pm and sent to packing for delivery.
Price - £349
ordered at about 5am this morning
order confirmed at 05:57
packed at about 4pm this afternoon
16GB @ £349
Mailed them asking to cancel and advised I will source elsewhere for a much cheaper price... (I imagine its too late though)
Looks like Play.com are out of stock now. I can't find the HP touchpad 16/32gb anywhere on their site. It was there a few hours ago.
I'm also waiting on a Touchpad from play.com which I bought at full price earlier today.
My gut instinct having dealt with Play earlier on similiar issues is that we'll all be returning our TP's for a full refund
Still I'm going to remain optimistic..

I'd recommend not cancelling your order just yet.
you'll be in a better position to negotiate with them once you have the product.
If you cancel before they despatch it, they won't lose anything, they'll just send it to someone else who was able to place an order.
Once you've got it, hopefully we'll be in a better position a few days after all this commotion, and they may be willing to refund the difference.
otherwise they have to go through the hassle or receiving product back, and then arranging to sell it on - probably at the reduced price.
I'm going to wait to see if mine actually comes through, then assess the situation then.
If they don't openly offer the refund, I'll put a complaint to them, and to the FSA.
their returns policy gives you 7 days to request the return or raise an issue - this is different to 7 days to actually return the item to them.
The complaint etc could last as long as you want, as long as you raise the issue within 7 days.
we should have a strong argument if we refer them to the fact they were aware on Monday that the supplier had significantly reduced the price, and that a large number of supplier not just in UK, but all across the world had reduced their prices to fall in line, and they are being unfair against the consumer by acting this way.
We could also quote things we can get - regarding their comments on Monday evening that they were aware of the price discount and were working on it, yet they chose to do nothing.
Ordered as mine was in my cart, however at time of checkout it stated not in stock.
I doubt I'll get it. however I'm also one of the wait and see's
There may be hope for us yet.
In the US - HP have agreed to refund customers the difference of all ordered purchased within 60 days of the price change.
HP are also 'leaning' on companies to offer the price match themselves.
So if Play.com don't crumble under the pressure over the next few days - maybe there is hope from HP directly.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ne...efund-price-differences-for-early-buyers/3857
HP apparantly informed retailers on Monday that the prices will be reduced, and requested that all retailers offer to refund the difference in the sale price.
HP also advise that it can take a few days for all retailers to act on this.
called play.com in the end and they said it was too late to stop dispatch anyway (wanted to save myself a couple of £ in postage to be honest) - they have sent me my return code and marked it as potential return
so i still have to wait for it anyway...
but the chap I spoke to I did would they not do a price comparison, or are they even considering lowering the price but he said nope. Full refund or keep at full price basically.
@danlat1415 - do you have any of that information or anyway to process that with HP as I'll consider keeping it if thats the case! I wonder if we can ping an e-mail to HP pronto to try and get some clarification from them that we can apply for refunds if the retailer won't honour it...
If I was HP and I'd told everyone to cut the price on Monday, and found out retailers were basically ignoring them (probably to pocket the profits) I'd be a bit peeved -
out of this experience, I'll definitely not be considering Play.com for anything further apart from as a last resort...
sounds like @Analogue Dude has had a similar experience before... that's the feeling I am getting now too.
I'm looking into what HP are doing for UK customers and I'll keep you updated.
It's still very early, and once order are sent out and customers start complaining in large numbers - they may change their mind.
Also depends on what action HP take over the next few days.
Play.com don't want to get bad publicity, and if all other retailers are honouring the price change, it'll be bad for Play.com to try and profit from the limited stock they have - compare to the bad publicity they'll get.
I've been hunting around the net, and this isn't the only forum complaining about Play.com's decision, so strength in numbers...
I guess the only real outside chance of getting a partial refund is if every customer who bought a TP from them returns it this week. Hopefully the logistical nightmare/expense of checking every return will push Play into offering the refunds.
As I said earlier I doubt it happens though, Play are a horrible company to do business with, I haven't used them for years and if it wasn't for this deal I wouldn't have touched them with a foot long stylus.
I'd recommend anyone who has ordered from Play.com to complete the form on the attached link for the BBC Watchdog program.
we may not get anywhere with it, but it's best to put as much pressure as we can on Play.com to honour the discounted price.

Really hope so or HP kick their ass (which I doubt will happen)
I got the impression of a very non-caring company when I called them up - to be honest, I had a good impression of them before - but only used them a handful of times... I guess its because I never had to _deal_ with them properly before and just did an order which came and had no issues...

done that - not sure how much help it will give though...
i also wonder though is it worth putting in a 'request to return' with play for everyone's who order has dispatched ? its too late to cancel, but if they have a _lot_ of requests to return and the main reason being the stupid prices... ?
Don't suppose there is a HP email addy to send concerns to? Wonder if they can confirm or deny possible refunds...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
As far as I know, Argos and Play.com were the only two retailers that hadn't yet offered the lower price (whether it be for a limited time, like Amazon)
But Argos has this morning now caved in and reduced their prices to £89 and £115.
This will hopefully help in the fight against Play.com
they are now the only hightreet retailer trying to greatly profit from this sale.
I'm waiting for an update from HP and I'll let you know. Waiting to hear back from their press office.
So far they have only confirmed that they'll refund direct customers, and credit the retailers.
Just waiting to find out if their credit customers of retailers who are refusing to refund the difference.
(if the retailer are being credited by HP, then they are severely taking advantage of the customer.)
As more developments happen each day, hopefully by the time the Touchpads arrive it'll all either be sorted or a lot clearer.
had an email from play.com this morning saying they would not refund the difference and only option was to keep or send it back for a full refund.... will post the email in a few
was looking for an e-mail form for hp too to submit my disappointment with play
Thank you for your reply.
We regret to inform you that we are not able to process a partial refund should there be a change of price for HP TouchPad 16GB webOS 3.0 WiFi 9.7 inch Tablet PC but we are more than willing accept the item back upon receipt for full refund.
We have two options to process a refund for this order.
First is to allow 15 banking days delivery time frame to take effect so we can provide a Not Received Claim Form and the second is to return the item upon receipt. The latter option will require a Returns Authorisation code which we will be happy to provide as soon as you contact us.
You also have the option to print a pre-payed label on-line. In order for you to return an order, please follow the step by step procedure which can be found on the link below:
http://www.play.com/Help.html?page=retn
This will prompt you to sign in on your PLAY.com account and choose the order you need to return.
We hope that this information is of some help to you. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this matter has caused you and thank you for your patience and valued custom.
Kind Regards,

I just logged into my Play account and my order is now showing as cancelled with today's date beside it.
Card payment had gone through so I wonder what they're playing at
I'd suggest that we go protest outside Play HQ but I don't fancy going to jail for a touchpad (maybe an ipad....)

Thank for the update.
I too have got an email this morning confirming my order has been despatched via DHL and I've got a tracking number.
expect it to take upto 5 working days to be delivered, then I have 7 days for receipt to inform them if I wish to return for full refund.
That's approx 8-13 days to get this resolved and to put pressure on Play.com

Good stuff 3 day delivery too bad i already got mine lol
Thanks! Ordered mine. The Chat rep said I should receive it on January 5. No way to expedite shipping. See below:
Richard: Please know that since the item is delivered from the different warehouse locate, the order status is " 3 Days Delivery Pending ". However the order will be delivered on Thursday, January 5, 2012 08:30 AM - 05:00 PM
My take on this is that "different warehouse locale" means that it's coming directly from ASUS, which is why he couldn't expedite the shipping.
Well while I was chatting they went out of stock. I was trying to see if I could pay extra for quicker shipping. I had one in my cart and everything. FML lol
sold out!!!! doh

Don't get your hopes up on the OD order. I ordered back on the 12/21 and was told I'd get it on the 27th. Not happening. I just finished chatting with a rep and didn't get much more:
Chat Transcript
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Steve.
Steve: Hi Don
Steve: Good morning
Steve: I am glad to assist you with your concern.
Me: Good morning
Steve: We apologize for the inconvenience.
Steve: May I have the order number
Me: xxxx
Steve: Thanks, let me check on the order
Steve: I am sorry the item is out of stock as of now and we do not have the restocking date updated with us
Steve: I would request you to get back to us with 2-3 business days as our warehouse team is working hard on its availability
Me: I chatted with a CSR just prior to ordering and she told me that it would definitely ship out and I'd receive it on the 27th. She was very confident about it so I went ahead and ordered it.
Me: Clearly she was mistaken. What can be done about this?
Steve: We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused
Steve: Please get back to us with 2-3 business days as our warehouse team is working hard on its availability
Me: Can I have some sort of credit applied due to the misinformation I was given?
Me: So far you're the 3rd rep I've chatted with and each has asked me to check back in 2-3 days. I'm losing confidence in that answer, unfortunaly.
Steve: Please know that due to low stock the item has to be shipped from a different location and so it is taking time to get to the ware house near to your location and it should be in stock within 2-3 business days
Me: I understand, but that is NOT what I was told when I ordered it. I was told that it WAS in stock and that it would ship in time for me to receive on the 27th. When I placed the order I again chatted with a rep who told me to wait 2-3 days for the status to be updated. Now you're telling me that it's NOT in stock but that I should still wait 2-3 days for more information. I know it's not your fault, but I need a better result then "check back in 2-3 days"--simply because apparently I have not been given accurate information from the very beginning.
Steve: I will escalate the issue to the higher authority and they will get back to you within 4 business hours with the exact delivery details
Steve: May I have your contact phone number
Me: sure thing. It's xxxxx
Steve: Thanks, please give me a moment while I escalate the issue
Me: Thanks, Steve
Steve: Thank you so much for your patience.
Steve: I have escalated the issue
Steve: Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
Me: Thank you, Steve.
Me: That's it. I appreciate your help with this.

Under Product Details it says "TF201-B1-GR", the "GR" at the end means it is gray.
Out of stock now, however.
I bet some 19 year old is going to call you and be like "check back with us in 2-3 days" lol. Good luck!
lol, could be Doeboy, but at this point, I'm ordering where I can in the hopes that one of my orders comes in. Lets just hope I don't get three emails at once that all say "your order has shipped" before I can cancel the other ones!

Not much we can do to help. There is no official Omate presence on xda. Feel you pain though, I have hundreds of hours support and dev work put in to help folks and still have yet to get my Oct pledge.

After 6 months, my October 1900MHz, 1+8G, dev edition (laser engraved) did arrive. See other post.
No tracking number was given, but it was shipped SuissePost.

Happy for you bro , i ordered mine last october too but i cancelled it at late december they told me ill get my refund, every month past they will say next month then they send me to contact [email protected] then after a month cecile told me to contact [email protected] and TODAY after a month waiting for my refund [email protected] told me to contact [email protected] so what will happend next. laurent keep putting advertisement on google plus, nearly everyday and answering others question and post but when he see any post of refung he just try to ignore it
He responded to one earlier. You need to post to him directly and not piggyback another post.

Same thing here. Got tired of waiting, so grabbed one off ebay a few months back....cancelled my order and have gotten nothing but the run around ever since.
After no response for nearly two months...I finally got this:
Dear,*
Sorry the next batch of refund will take place after the shipment of the Kickstarter backers.
Omate has taken over its webshop on Jan 31st, we only charge the order a few days before shipment so customers can update or cancel any time in the meantime.
Previously, we were working with ROCKI who collected the preorders until Jan 30th. We are working with them to recover the preorders.
Best regards,
Omate TrueSmart Team
What does shipping have to do with refunds? Has anyone tried "talking" with a upper level Rocki staff member?
Because they're dedicating all their staff to handling kickstarter issues first, and then they will go through preorders.
Right now Rocki has all the preorder money and will not release it until preorder units are shipped/ready for refund.

Omate is a fraud???
I'm in your same situation, after six months of waiting for my TS I decided to give up and I asked a refund. They ignore me at all, months without an answer and after all they say to me to wait "end of all shippings", is a big lie, why can't we do something to have our money back now? I'm tired of lies and nonsense words we have to do something.

Not sure whether this thread is still active--but, in the hope that it is--does anyone have the latest news on the Shipping details??
What is Omate's position on shipping the KickStarter pledges for 1GB/8Gb 2100 version??
Any ideas?

I've got mine. Was posted on the 12th April received it on the 25th. I'm a UK backer. Received in great condition packed very well. Only gripe was I was expecting an additional cradle as I pledged for an extra one but didn't get it.

Received mine last week (EU 2100 1/8GB first Batch), so i am thinking if Omate keep their promise to ship the second EU 2100 batch then you will soon received it. (It took about 2 weeks or more once received tracking).
Delivery in UK by Royal mail. Swiss Post database tracking update seems a bit late, so use THIS site to track your item (better than Swiss Post site tracking).

One question--did you receive any communication prior to your watch arriving at your door??
I have heard zero--since filling out the delivery details.
Possibly my mistake was that, although a UK resident--I spend more time out of the country and I used my Asian address--this could be one reason for a delay in the dispatch.
Hence, I was interested in whether Omate contacted you before sending the Truesmart.

Where, and when, did you receive a Tracking Number??
In fact--does anyone have a communication email address for Omate [ I know they probably won't answer--but I would like to check that my delivery hasn't hit a glitch--possibly my stupid decision to use my Asian Address--in which case I would happily give them a UK alternative]
Used "[email protected]", they emailed me tracking. Hope this help
@haybill
I didn't receive any information. I had asked in the comments section 3 times on the kickstarter before getting my tracking number.
3 out of 10 and getting less.
Hi,
Received mine today.
I have no idea what I have got, How to turn it on even, at the moment it's a cool looking piece of inert metal and plastic.
Feel very ripped off as I pledged for the developer edition for Europe months ago and nowhere does it acknowledge this or even how to turn it on etc.
Sucks big time.
Wanted this as I am partially sighted seems I've now got to ask family to search the web for docs and how-tos etc.
Really sucks.
Hope Laurent enjoys the profit... Still not sure if it is a scam will see how far I manage to get with it...

I've just sent an email to [email protected]
Let's see if I hear anything.
Thanks for the answers.

I'd go to the Kickstarter page and ask there in the comments section you're more likely to get a response sooner as I did.

One more question--
having gone to the Kickstarter comments section, as mentioned, I see that folks are referring to a mailing list--anyone let me in on the secret as to where we might find such a list???

Bingo--got a reply from one of the other backers with details of the mailing lists--and, guess what, I'm on 24 April--Gawd knows how long it will take to arrive, though. Hopefully Customs here will go easy--but I am not holding my breath.

Count two weeks from the 24th so most likely 10th May around that time.
It's available here.
Order before 6pm for despatch today.
I've cancelled my Google Play order to order this one instead!
EDIT: I'd suggest using PayPal. Otherwise you may get this email: [see attachment]
EDIT 2.0: Re-ordered with PayPal address, I'll let y'all know what happens.
EDIT 2.5: They accepted PayPal... But they didn't accept my shipping address for some reason.
EDIT 3.0: I should look before I leap. The watch is now out of stock. Plus you can only use paypal. Even then, they might contest your delivery address. This is only really worth it if Google doesn't ship to your country. Otherwise, I'd suggest waiting for Google to stock them.
I've cancelled my Mobile Fun order and re-ordered from Google.
PSSST. Hey you. Yes, you! Use NEWCLOTH as a voucher code to get a free microfibre cloth worth about £4!
Have you ordered from them before?
edit...decided to order from them. Delivery is a bit cheaper and I got cash back. Hopefully they'll dispatch it tomorrow and I can go get if from the Post Office on Friday after Royal Mail fail to deliver it.
Hm, I'd rather buy it from google, I like being loyal

I've ordered from them before, yes.
Never an electronic item though, just the occasional case. They seem alright, plus you can get a free microfibre cloth if you use a certain voucher code (I forget what).
Ordered mine straight away, as the pre-orders I saw in The Netherlands were €300,- (Total Bull**** right?)
used your voucher, worked indeed.
Now time to wait. :victory:
My order's been updated to "queued for processing"! :fingers-crossed:
Edit..."Our warehouse team are picking your order" :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for that. Just ordered one and cancelled the Play Store order. Hopefully it's not a mistake
Ordered yesterday at about 16:30 for delivery before 1pm today and here I sit...counting my steps and replying to texts cos there's not a lot else you can do with it yet......lol
MobileFun attach a letter to the box explaining that you shouldn't get it until the 7th because it won't be fully functional until then but they want you to have it early so you're ready to go etc.
Nice of them.
Cool! First impressions? Mine's showing as packing ready for despatch now.
how about ordering it for outside UK? are they trustworthy?
Ordered mine to. Mobilefun are trustworthy, often used by the guys at MoDaCo.
I used paypal and DPD next day, we will see what happens.
This was the email I got:
This email acknowledges the order you have placed online. We will email you again to confirm shipment when your order is processed, which will be within the next working day. Orders paid for before 6pm weekdays are shipped the same day providing the items are in stock.
Order Summary
Qty. Product Price Each
1 44653 LG G Watch for Android Smartphones - Black 159.00 GBP
Estimated despatch for the above products: Today, Wednesday 2nd July 2014
Shipping Method: DPD Next Working Day Parcel
Tracked service which is guaranteed to arrive the next working day (Monday to Friday) if ordered by 5 PM (not available to the Channel Islands)
Shipping Cost:6.99 GBP
Order total is 165.99 GBP, including 27.66 GBP VAT at 20%. A VAT invoice will be sent out with your order.
I have NO loyalty to Googles Play Store. Returning seems like a nightmare (many issues with my faulty N10) and the delivery charge is a rip-off.
And.... they're gone
Just checked the status of my order (placed 2nd July @ 09:40) and it's now changed from "queued for processing" to "Sorry, this item appears to be out of stock". Looks like they accept orders willy-nilly and not on quantity actually in stock at the time of ordering. I very cleverly cancelled my Play Store order already, so it's maybe someones way of telling me to wait for the 360
edit: product page says due back in stock in 2 days time.
Decided to cancel my order, and get it from Google Play instead.
First MobileFun weren't happy with my payment method (Mastercard); so I used PayPal instead.
Then their security team apparently weren't happy with my address I gave them; they said they tried to call me yesterday to confirm my address.
No missed calls, no voicemail.
Customer service asked if I wanted to verify my address...
By now, the watch is out of stock. Despite me ordering within minutes of them announcing it.
Not very impressed, and most likely won't order from them again. Not for electronics anyway.
^I hear you. I've just sent them my "thoughts" on the matter. That said, I've had a good few things from them in the past with now bother so I'm cutting them some slack. Their stock level calculations are obviously not to be trusted so I'll certainly think twice about ordering from them again.

Same here, cancelled my order. pre-ordered it from a shop in The Netherlands.
Selling a device saying it will be dispatched immidiatly and then say "oh its out of stock". not too impressed with that.
(As a web developer, I also find it a weird way of doing it. A proper system would be a count behind the article and every time someone purchases it the count goes count -1. till the point it has to say its out of stock.)
Well pre-ordered from Coolblue (if you live in The Netherlands), Delivery date: 8 July

Really odd, ordered mine at 11:45 today and my status is packing ready for dispatch. Holding my breath now to see whether mine gets pulled. Maybe LG have leaned on them for delivering early.

That, or Mobile Fun have learned how to ship things on a first-come first-served basis just like the Play Store does [read: doesn't] /s
Enjoy your watch!

Thanks, I feel bad now, as though I'm taking your watch! Still not convinced they won't throw a spanner in the works though...

It's not your fault so don't you worry. It did lead me to just cancel the order completely and take my money (which they still have!) elsewhere. I'll not be ordering from them again!
Well, yep my order also went south. Made my feelings known to them as well.
I think I will wait until next week now, see the first full reviews, make a decision then.
