Appears that OSPS may have started announcing failed credit checks by Orange as a delaying tactic.
The're not desperate ..... |

Forget osps and go somewhere else, but it seems people are not desperate to get the P900, if you really want it then go somewhere and get it, this is my second P900 and its worth the value.

I started filling in the form @ the link mentioned above - thought I would give a quick call to OSPS whilst doing so (to cancel), and before I could mention anything other than the word "P900", the sales person said, "Due in on Wednesday for definite - possibly even Tuesday". What can I do? Well, I'm going to wait until Wednesday and then cancel.
 Unless the phone arrives!

I dont want to rain on anyones parade BUT what happens (GOD FORBID) if something goes wrong with the phone after you finally receive it
It dosent appear to me after reading all these pages that it will be a simple case of sending the phone back and getting a replacement a couple of days later
I know that quite a few of you are caught in a catch 22 position (should you wait or cancel and get it somewhere else) but in the end you have to think of the long term implications rather than the short term ones
Me personally i would try to get the phone from a more reputable company at the end of the day this is an expensive item and if anything does go wrong with it i want it sorted out today not in 1 months time which means being left with no phone and a monthly line rental which i can not use but have to pay for regardless |

WelshUK...
I can only agree... if you are planning on spending this amount of money on something which can realistically have a fault or two, like all electrical devices, then I always find it best to purchase from a reputable shop, or somewhere you can return the thing to and speak to someone face to face... it is easier to fob someone off over the phone than it is face to face (though it is of course still possible ;o))... If this costs a few pounds more, then I personally prefer it...
It also helps if a certain store you purchase from has a reputation to keep, and want to be seen to be customer friendly... whilst I admit there aren't many of these around, there must be even fewer of them on the internet...as i suppose this thread proves... I am not against purchasing from the internet, but I draw a line at the value of the item I wish to purchase, and also consider how soon I need it... In fact i have had some cracking deals, much cheaper than the high street, though I have also cancelled many because they couldn't deliver on time, and I could get it elsewhere... and I did consider purchasing from OSPS, but am certainly glad I never shared my credit card details with them...
Which brings me on to the question of taking money before dispatching... I have never heard of such a thing... and am fairly certain that no major companies do this... ok, so a check that the card is actually usable is fine, but they need only deduct a few pence to work this out, which is often stated by other mobile retailers... I can't see how deducting the full amount before dispatch can save time, as is mentioned on this topic somewhere... if they ain't got the product in question, and won't have it for an indefinite period, then they have a very long time to complete the order process indeed!
There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.

Am I the only one waiting now? Has everyone else cancelled?

Why not get it from O2 or CPW for free and save yourself £70 then cancel your order and get your money back |
