I ordered a Desire on the 19th June. The order now says it is processing through customs on the logistics company website. It has been much longer than I think they openly advise, I expected a 3-4 week wait, not an 8-9 week wait when I placed the order, but they have been very fast to answer emails all the way through the order and tried to give estimated arrival times, although these have often been more optimistic than has transpired. I guess I will see soon 1. if it comes, 2. if it works. It is cheaper than buying a decent used one though, so hoping it will be the real deal.

Goto the site & click on FAQ's...

Then all will be explained...

: ie -

How do you achieve your pricing structure?

We have successfully negotiated a deal with our supplier which allows customers purchasing items through this website to benefit from wholesale prices in return for agreeing and accepting that their order will be shipped in FCL (full container load) on a low priority basis. As our supplier non EU based, then VAT is not an issue, so this is another big reason as to why our prices are so competitive.

How long does it take for my order to be dispatched?

All orders are dispatched outbound to you within 15 business days, excluding weekends & public holidays. Please note, if your order is subject to an import fee or a delay at customs, then this will inevitably delay the delivery time.


:- SOO its simply a case that they're despached from outside the EU, though Play do this ALSO, ie exempt from VAT do to Channel Island origin.

= You pay you monies and wait for the IMPORT ! with view to duties on imported goods...

Well I've ordered from them on the 21st June and everythings gone smoothly. They've replied to every email I've sent promptly, they sent out the laptop on time as stated on their website, they've provided me with tracking to see where my laptop is at the moment. Looking at the tracking I can see it's hauled up at customs ¬_¬ and has been for a week, I'll keep you updated on what happens.

A lot of the users here are cancelling their orders because they don't trust them, the thing with Elite Savings is you need to actually know you can wait that long for your item because they don't ship the item to you within a day they take around 15 business days.

Your laptop and my desire must be on the same shipment then as mine has been in customs for a week now. I think the 15 day thing is fine, but they should make it more clear that shipping and customs is likely to take a further 20-25 business days.

I ordered a Asus 1201N Netbook on 11 July (using a credit card) and just got my tracking number email today. The shipping company site I was sent to (sajjlogitics (dot) com) is registered in India. The tracking number looked suspiciously generic (in that it seemed to be formed from today's date an the destination country) and the site appears a little amateurish. Now I have a tracking number I guess I'll have to wait and see if it arrives as I don't fancy a 30% (of £210) combined charge.

I believe the distance selling regulations require the vendor to refund in full upon request, including the cost of delivery. My understanding of contracts of sale is that the buyer's contract is with the person/company that the payment is made to; this is the vendor and the vendor is responsible for delivery and/or refund. This responsibility cannot be 'delegated'. So, I believe that Elite Savings cannot legally withhold monies for 'handling charges' or 'delivery costs' in the event that a refund is requested. Good luck for anyone that tries to get a full refund though.

I really would appreciate it if anyone that ordered in June would post an update when/if you receive your goods. It would renew my faith in Elite Savings. Thanks.

This thread made me chuckle. so many one post wonders saying give th company a chance. Why? Why when there are other companies out there? At the present tie no-one has received anything so why should anyone become a customer. I bought a netbook on Amazon, trustworthy and fairly cheap £260 from Technoworld, and it came the next day. maybe i could have saved £60 by using Elite but I wanted to ve sure my item would come. At least you paid by cc people, but in all honesty i dont have th epatience to ait forever for soemthing, no matter how cheap!

Good luck though and let us know if you get the products
