One very happy customer

Recomend anyone to use the company

Ordered at 7pm and the item was delivered the next day brilliant service

Ordered on Sunday, arrived next day. Excellent service.

Ordered on Friday late afternoon standard post and arrived Monday. Cheaper than anywhere else. Helpful updates by email tracking progress. Delivered on time by Parcelforce. Couldn't ask for more!

Ordered a Drobo 5D from this company on the 5th of May 2015. On the 7th of June it developed a fault and I contacted Expansys to report it and looking for a solution. I was told that because it was over 30 days since the purchase they wouldn't do anything to resolve the issue. I told them that surely 33 days was close enough and requested that this matter should be escalated.
This morning (16th June) I received an email stating that:-
'We have asked our superiors about your matter. We are sorry to inform you that they are not willing to make an exception for a return request for refund or replacement. We can accept your item for a repair.'

Well, this purchase was a personal one but Expansys are unaware that professionally we have used this company quite frequently but obviously no more.


I have since come across their shipping email dated the 7th May 2015 which implies that I wouldn't have received the goods until the earliest the 8th May therefore the fault materialised within their stringent 30 day limit.
Displays how much investigation is carried out before this company responds with their inane comment.

Well this company just gets worse sent me the wrong phone this second time round again twice now the wrong phone I thing I will be going to carphone warehouse.

Please don't buy from this company

I bought this product just over a year ago and had everything going wrong which is stated on different websites.
First the pen didn't work, then the screen doesn't want to connect to the Microsoft wireless adapter and now finally the touch screen doesn't work.
I have tried all the solutions on Microsoft's website to no avail.
The product has just gone out of warranty and now Expansys where I bought this from doesn't want to replace it.
Think carefully before buying anything from them.

See the emails below how they handle this

To whom it may concern,
I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 of the Orange South Africa website last year.
As Orange has left South Africa and the company they left as their contact information does not want help I thought it would be best contacting you guys as you resolved my last issue with this device.
I bought the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 last year and have had more problems that joy.
1. The wireless pen did not work and you guys replaced it.
2. I got the Microsoft Wireless adapter which works on and of
3. And now the touch screen has not been working for more than 3 months
a. I have tried everything on Microsoft’s website to fix the problem but nothing works.
I have really looked well after this device and it still looks as good as new.
I find it unacceptable that a device of this price gives you so many problems in just over a year that I have had this.
Find attached my invoice and previous problem emails.
Please advise what to do.
Regards,

Hi Yves,
Thank you for getting back to me.
My shipped order was 6DU0-DF1E-EA0E.
I have been trying to get hold of someone for the last 3 months in South Africa with the number supplied by Orange with no success.
The service has been really shocking.
The touch screen that doesn’t work is clearly a Microsoft surface pro 4 problem and this can been seen all over the internet.
It is unacceptable that you guys want to get out of this with the 1 year warranty excuse. There is clearly a problem with the product.
Where to from here?

This is totally unacceptable that you guys are not willing to help in anyway.
The problem is older than 3 months and I couldn’t get anybody to help me as orange isn’t in South Africa anymore.
So thank you for nothing.

And no email after this

It took 5 months to get my refund. I ordered a phone from this company. There was no problems with delivery. The phone became faulty (charger dock fell out) and the shop they told me to take to could not repair it. I sent it back to expansys as they requested and they could not fix it either. They offered me a few options and i asked for the refund (because it took so long i got a new phone elsewhere anyway). From sending the phone back to offering a refund, it took roughly 2 months. They claimed and fought with me that they had given me a refund but there was no money from them in my account. They then realised that i actually hadn't received my refund and sent the request off to the correct department and once again i was told i would receive my refund. This happened 4 times. They asked for my bank account details 6 times. I have a trail of around 50 emails between myself and expansys. After lots of arguing, emails and calls they issued my refund 5 month later. This company is a disgrace.

Purchased refurbished iPhone 5c with 12 month warranty. Fell apart after 3 months. Sent for repair. Now been over a month with no sign of phone - customer support abrupt and disinterested. Don't bother.

In December while looking for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, I found Expansys through a price comparison site, and then found a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 on the “nearly new” section of their website. I checked all the details; the item was listed as perfect condition with all accessories but with minor damage to packaging. I ordered the item, along with a Samsung 32GB memory card, and received order confirmation stating the order was received, with confirmation that money would only be taken when the items were shipped.

Within 2 days I received an email confirmation that the complete order had been shipped, listing all items, including the Tab S2. I checked my bank and saw the full order value had been debited from my account. I tracked the order, and due to a failed delivery attempt, went to the Parcel Force depot to collect. You can imagine my surprise therefore that when I arrived they showed me a small polythene bag (marked item 1 of 1) that could not physically contain the Samsung Tab S2 9.7. We then weighed the parcel at the depot, and it registered 46g! So even if the tablet was placed into a blender and the parts poured into the bag, it would weigh ten times that!

I did not accept the order, and it was kept by Parcel Force for return to sender. I promptly called Expansys to ask why they had a) informed me that they had shipped the entire order, when in fact they hadn’t, and b) why they had taken the money from my account against the agreement when the item had not been shipped. The lady on the phone couldn’t answer my question, only told me the items had been shipped. I asked to speak to a manager and this was refused. I asked to speak to the UK office, to which she advised this wasn’t possible.

I requested an immediate return of all funds, or immediate shipment of the full order, and a call back from a manager to explain their solution. She assured me this would happen the following morning. Naturally, this didn’t happen, so I called again. I eventually spoke to someone claiming to be a manager, who advised they had instructed Parcel Force to return the item and would have a resolution for me the following day. The following day there was no resolution, they just stated it was escalated to the dispatch team and they would investigate my case. After this I called daily, only to be repeatedly told that they will investigate my case. I even sent emails with photographic evidence of the shipment at the depot on the weighing scale.

I pointed out there is no investigation needed; they failed to ship the entire order, the order was returned to Expansys and received (tracked back to them), yet they have kept my money.
I have searched the internet, and there is no telephone number for their UK office anywhere. All the UK (+44) numbers divert to Bulgaria. I have never written any review of a company or service on the internet before, this is the first time I have been treated so badly that I felt compelled to post this. Avoid Expansy, they fraudulently took my money, and have not returned it, even with supporting evidence.

In contrast, I ordered a new wetsuit last week from an online retailer which was a poor fit, I sent this back by special delivery, it was delivered the following day, and the same day the money was refunded. The poor service I have received from Expanys is inexcusable.
