Poor delivery & Zero Warranty Support - AVOID – Ordered a phone not available in Australia. Website said they were in stock, but Expansys took excessive time to deliver. The product developed a fault within a few weeks. Expansys acknowledged receipt of email but silence after repeated requests to engage and help. They are simply not worth the discount. Highly recommend to go elsewhere. Show details

BEWARE! Scammer site alert! Please do not buy from them! Expansys.com.sg – SCAMMER ALERT! I placed order for Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 lens on 8th FEB 2023. Today is 10th MAR 2023. I still have not receive my item. Tried to email their customer service but they responded that they were not sure when is the item will be shipped. Now they totally ignore my emails. Please Beware, do not buy from this scammer website. They are cheaper by 20% compared to other legit sites so buy at your own risk.

False advertising, No support, No communication, No help – I ordered and paid for a new Sony Xperia 5 IV 256GB (green) on the Expansys website on 21/Nov/2022 as they had this phone listed as 'IN STOCK' for all colours. After 3 business days I sent them an email to get a delivery status update as I had not received any communication from them. I received an automated reply saying that a rep would contact… Read more

me, no rep has contacted me. Their website was still showing the phone as 'In Stock', my order on their website shows the phone is 'In Stock' and ship-able, but the adapter and 'customs declaration' are both 'on order'. I have created a support ticket on their website and said that I'm happy to have any colour and do not worry about the adapter if that is holding up sending my new phone. I received an automated reply saying that a rep would contact me, but no one has. I have now posted the issue on their support forum and several other people have now added to the thread saying that they are in the same situation... ordered, paid, but no phone. https://www.expansys.com.au/forums/sony-xperia-5-iv-dual-sim-5g-386554/337861 I had previously ordered from another site, but when the previous company notified me of 'out of stock' I was at least able to cancel the order and get my money back. Not with Expansys, the only way to communicate with them is email, support ticket or support forum. I have now tried all 3 channels with no response except an automated reply. It has now been 10 business days since I ordered the Sony Xperia 5 IV 256GB (green) mobile phone from Expansys and they have NOT contacted me other than an automated reply, to say someone will contact me !!! AND as per the screenshot attached that I took today (06/Dec/2022), they are still advertising that this phone (black) is IN STOCK NOW !!

Terrible service didn’t receive goods yet – Order placed 05/07/2020! 4/10 business days for delivery it said, almost 10 business days still awaiting for stock. Customer service is just bluffing to make you wait longer, better off buying somewhere else, my order is stuck with them and I desperately need the phone Show details

GREAT pricing , unmatched in AU – Have read other reviews and can't understand others gripes. Yes they are overseas , but that's why their cheaper. Buy in AU if you like to pay more (Gerry Harvey always could use more money). Ordered a phone and arrived in 7 days from HK. Auspost can't even get something here that fast from interstate. Brand new sealed & works perfectly, Don't know if I'm the exception to the rule, but I'm one happy customer. Thanks Expansys. Show details

Perfect service - and so fast! – I ordered a new phone, a Oneplus 5T from eXpansays. I ordered the phone on Thursday night and it arrived in Brisbane on the next Monday. Service perfect and phone great too.

Stunningly good service – The product I bought from EXPANSYS was as cheap as I have seen anywhere else on the web. What really blew me away was the speed of service. It was less than five days from placing my order to the postman knocking on my door to deliver the order. And yes it was trackable from start to finish. A very satisfying experience I will certainly buy from them again and recommend them to my friends.

Avoid – Zero customer service, emails not responded to, items not shipped, hidden extra costs. Could be a scam or just a completely hopeless business. Don’t make the mistake I did - buy from somewhere else.

Do not buy from this website , they are scammers – If you buy from this website from Australia you will have no support. They are based in Hong Kong or china and do not honour warranty claims. Waste of money and time , avoid at all costs!! Show details

NEVER EVER BUY FROM EXPANSEYS! – Never ever buy anything from EXPANSEYS, they are a scam... Absolutely shocking, say they are Australian based, but who really knows, definitely not Australian. No customer service.. no response, nothing, shocking, definitely buy elsewhere, no need to get involved with a scam company. Never ever again. Sent so many messages and emails but no reply.

Nil After Sales service – I purchased a OnePlus 8 Pro which has developed dead pixels on the screen and Expansys are not answering my warranty claim. Phone was purchased in June 2022 and fault developed in November 2022, well within the OnePlus warranty period. Still receiving their promotional emails but not even answering my query for warranty. Don't expect any service at all from them, if you buy a device from them, then you are on your own. Show details

Rubbish website – I have tried twice to purchase an Xbox series X for my grandson and the website came back with the message that the payment could not be completed through Apple Pay. I did not use Apple Pay. I used MasterCard. I tried again with the same card because I checked and I know for certain that there is sufficient credit in the account to cover the… Read more

transaction and delivery. The second time I tried I got a different looking page to complete payment and the bank sent me a text with a code for payment. The second attempt at paying also failed. I can only think there’s something wrong with the website and I think it’s a very poor standard of dealing with customers to have a website that can’t cope. If I can find an alternative supplier, I’m going to go with them. I am really really dissatisfied. Suzanne

Dishonest – Firstly, lead you believe that they are an Australian based company. That is a lie. They are not. Secondly, I paid extra for express shipping for my watch. Days later get an email saying your product is due to arrive on day x (several days after the express cut off). I emailed them demanding they either refund my delivery fee or cancel the order.… Read more

They said, they'll arrange for order to be re-routed back to them and process a full refund. Some time, the watch is left on my doorstep way after the express deliver cut off time. They will lie through their teeth and take your money and not deliver on their word. Do not trust them. Oh and watch for the international expense fee on your credit card they refuse to mention that you may incur given they are not an Australian based company.

Sold me phones that do not work – Web page with .com.au gave me impression I’m buying from Australia store. 2 Nokia phones for my kids. Took a month for them to arrive and when I put sims in them nothing is working. They then disclose to me that they are running in a frequency that is not even operational in Australia. Spent $127.00 and feel completely ripped off. Now saying I… Read more

have to pay to send them back to Hong f$&& Kong to get a refund. I could have got a better phone at the local post office.

'Free Shipping Available' actually means $A116 added during Check-Out – Went to order a Marshall Stanmore II from Expansys AU. Lists 'Free Shipping Available' on their website but when you check out they add $116 onto the price. Basically the best price on the Internet then becomes just 'meh', so I didn't buy it. Caveat Emptor, Expansys use shonky advertising and retail practises. Show details

Deceitful and not Australian based as claimed – I bought a banker charger from them for a trip overseas to charge a powerbank. Claimed in Australia and ship from Australia however shipped from Hong Kong and therefore did not receive the product prior to my trip so waste of money as took several weeks. When it did arrive when I returned from my trip I am not convinced it is a genuine product but… Read more

suspect to be a knock off copy. Poor customer service. They also wanted to charge me for their deceitful tactics to cancel the transaction before it shipped. Definitely will never use this company again and would recommend anyone else to avoid them to to spare your hard earned money and disappointment.

'they have no stock, my order is a priority and they will notify me when they send it to me' If you are seeking to purchase a… Read more

phone or anything from Expansys don't be fooled by the fake reviews lifting their customer service to look favorable.

I have not received my phone and seeing as they have not completed the transaction I am seeking to cancel it and have my money refunded, but I have not heard back from the company...certainty not human anyway.

This is an example of why anyone should buy locally, don't get drawn in by these overseas companies pretending to be local. (I'm in NZ)

Will never make this mistake again.

Useless unhelpful unable to understand English – Pathetic service, replacement item never arrived and now they refuse to assist. Most useless place I have ever dealt with. Item was faulty, replacement was supposesly sent and now they are requesting it back, when i asked for a refund they stated 40% restocking fee... Do yourself a favour and buy locally. Show details

Bad attitude , lack of honesty, manners – Wrong product sent (Chinese market applicable and operational only), return accepted only on the terms of holding shipping and GST and not refunding return shipping. In the first communication they convinced me it is Global version product and they only sell Global version phones. When I sent them a photo with model number I received a bold rude response. I regret not looking at all bad reviews and taking them more seriously. Show details

Buyer beware – Don't get fooled by their .com.au website address suggesting an Australian business. This Hong Kong based seller does not sell products designed for the Australian market. In my case, I ended up with a Blackberry that had the physical keyboard printed with Asian characters and a power supply with EU-style plug, that came with a bulky power… Read more

On complaining, after two weeks wait they just point to their T&Cs, which allows them to send you any product version they like. Since they're a foreign entity, you have no recourse under Australian law. You may be able to send back the unwanted merchandise, but still have to pay the freight charges. Whether you get your money back is another question all together. Plus, I can probably claim my warranty in Kowloon. If only I had read the reviews here before buying...

Fast Delivery – Very impressed with the customer service from Expansys. From when the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact was ordered, communication was first-rate ( had a few delivery issues due to non delivery to PO Boxes by Toll which was sorted within 24 hours ) and within 3 business days the phone was delivered to my local Toll agent. Couldn't find any fault from sale to delivery

Sneaky tactics to get money out of you! STAY AWAY! – They misrepresented a product then tried every possible trick to get money out of us when requesting a refund. They refused to abide their own terms and conditions! Ended up going to paypal to get the refund which i was granted. Stay away from this company at all cost!

Stay Clear. No Warranties Honoured – Warning. Do not purchase through these crooks. They would let me claim warranty as I was outside of Asia and the US. No Australian contact.

Worst service ever!!! – I purchased a Duel SkyPro GPS Receiver from Expansys. It would not charge. I returned the unit, you can not contact their office by phone as the mail box is full & they rarely answer emails. After months of continually sending countless emails I received a replacement unit. This unit would not charge - exact same problem as the one I returned. After months of emailing again I was told it is now out of warranty.

Dual Skypro GPS 160. Dont waste your money. Get a map instead – Product information says you can link to Navionics and other chartplotter software. Says it can be linked to a Microsoft Surface, as well as Android systems. I have tried to link to both, and neither works. Contacted support and the didnt even have the courtesy to respond. Pathetic. Dont waste your money

Online and very fast... the Address doc check is ok... Ps fast!! – (PS review uprate below in caps) I ordered through Expansys as a second choice after the Australian company android enjoyed let me down with a long wait while they decided they didn't have the product after all. Expansys started off with a request to corroborate my mailing address with documents which made me uneasy. I guess the point of this… Read more

review is to say that this "unusual" step is OK. Funnily enough, they make you MORE worried by telling you to watch out for scammers asking for these docs in their email that is asking for these docs!!!! However, since I needed the phone... and the transaction had been paid for... i decided to "risk" it. The phone is on the way and it does indeed look like the doc request was simply a security check. It only added a few hours to the despatch time...

Review upgrade. I have just uprated this to 5 stars. The speed ex hk was breathtaking. Weekend and here. Excellent carrier. Excellent despatch speed.

No communication No product – I sent email regarding a mobile phone. They were at first quick to answer. As Chinese new year approached no communication. Stupidly I ordered the phone. The order showed an error in processing yet the payment went through from PayPal with no indication of what was ordered. PayPal said they accepted the money. No response to emails about order.… Read more

PayPal Said if no response in 48 hours they would issue refund. To make matters worse my bank charged a fee of $16.50 as this was a UK based company. So PayPal hopefully will refund me the purchase price and have to see if my bank will offer to refund Their fee
