Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience buying an Xbox 360 from Expansys.co.za? Their prices are very good which makes me a bit uneasy - is it too good to be true?

I'm looking to purchase an elite system and they have the best price I've seen so far: http://www.expansys.co.za/d.aspx?i=155904

Are they trustworthy? Are the products the latest models and in brand new condition? Will it arrive within the time specified?

Any feedback would be appreciated before I go order something without first understanding a bit about the company I'm going to order from.
 
I can only remember seeing good reviews from them, also they have quite a few payment and courier options so it seems pretty good, i also plan to buy an xbox 360 from them since they have a great price on it
 
Bwahahahahha at the 2 Expansys employees in post 1 and 2.
Shame business must be bad cause this screams desperation

Personally I won't buy a console online since there might be a chance it's old stock (old model revisions such as Falcon, Zepher). Games are no problem but when it comes to consoles I like to check the unit in-store to ensure it's the latest version possible.

yeah I agree with DarKWateR. Damn why is SA so expensive on Xbox prices? I'm trying to find a UK company who will ship to SA but then again the shipping will probably be pricey cause of the weight.

Shipping from the UK will also attract VAT and possibly duties in addition to high shipping costs.

Further, eXpansys South Africa employees make use of this username only when posting on the forum and we are represented only under this username

And when/if you get a RROD you might have issues swapping it out.

Balderdash. When you ship from a UK shop to another country, UK VAT is not paid.:rolleyes:

So are you saying that Expansys doesn't pay VAT, since your products are sourced in the UK??

Let us clarify for you in order for you to understand :

When you export from the UK, there is NO vat charged on the UK side due to goods being exported. Upon arrival of the goods in South Africa, VAT is payable on arrival.

We are based and operate in South Africa and with goods which we import from around the world, we pay VAT upon arrival in South Africa.
 
Expansys seem like a bunch of young guys with no clue how to conduct business. they are masters of delay and excuses!

For once we hope expansys can stick to what they say.
