Anyone used Expedite Electronics

Thanks Jonny... Glad to hear yours went okay.

Chris, don't suppose you have seen anything more concrete to show they're the same?

Just what a quick focussed Google search found.

" I would avoid that shop like the plague if I were you, reviews online of them are pretty much universally bad. It appears they are actually based in Hong Kong and they seem to have at least 2 online shop fronts - Expedite Electronics and Simply Electronics seem to be the same company."

Is this a fact though? I admit, they are very similar (website, pricing etc) but I can't find any actual link. I have tried to log in to simply electronics site using my login details for expedite with no joy.
I believe there is a UK warehouse but I am half expecting shipping from Hong Kong, either way I don't expect the phone to arrive until 3 - 7 working days at the earliest. You never know though, I may be surprised!

You, sir... Are my benchmark! If everything works out for you, then I am officially sold and will be buying from them this weekend.

So, make sure you post back as soon as you're happy with the product!

Thanks for this... Starting to get an itchy trigger finger. My wife would love a Nokia 1520.

This is exactly what I am after and wanted to check them out before I went for it.  I would hope that Amazon have some idea of who they are advertising for and wouldn't be promoting a dodgy company??!!  I think after your experiences I am very tempted to just go for it.  Paypal covers purchases, so hopefully that would help in the worst case scenario.  I also found Expedite Electronics on Facebook & Twitter, I know anyone can be on these sites, but it makes me feel a little easier in the sense that I may be able to get in touch with them (although if they were dodgy, they are not going to reply to any message, so it makes no difference really).  Right, decided, I am going to go for it, fingers crossed the service you had J69 will be duplicated!

Right... That does it... I have bought a Red Nokia 1520 for the wife... Will expect delivery before the end of next week and let you know.

Just to let you know that the parcel arrived at 9.30 this morning. This is the 6th working day (after) ordering. Not the quickest delivery in the world but there were no additional charges for delivery and within the anticipated timeframe so cannot criticise. Unfortunately I am away on business, but might pop in to the office tonight to pick up my parcel (if I can't contain myself until tomorrow!). Will post an update to confirm the condition of the item, whether it looks refurbished, overseas stock etc.

Hi, just saw this thread. I have recently brought a Nokia 1520 off of Expedite Electronics. I ordered on Friday evening and just received it today. Glad to say all is working well and is as advertised. I thought there would be something wrong with it being £339 but I've been proved wrong so far.
