S20 ultra store collection

Mo-Trax — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 17:59:39 GMT

After paying a £25 pre-order fee in February for the S20 Ultra in store to then having to wait ages for delivery to then being advised my phone would be ready to collect from store on the 24th march (today) I now find that all stores are closed until further notice.

Because i did my upgrade in store I'm not allowed to start a fresh upgrade online because an order is already in place for me, store collection is no longer an option for obvious reasons, EE won't refund my pre-order fee so now I'm stuck with my old phone, oh and I've been advised the £300 part ex for my old phone and the free 6 months brit box and free ear buds all expire on the 31st March. Hopefully EE extend this offer or they will be losing a lot of faithful customers

Hi @Mo-Trax

Sorry that the pandemic and safety of EE staff has inconvenienced you. If you pre ordered and EE can provide the evidence then you have until the 30/05/20 to claim your buds from Samsung's promotion via the Samsung app.

As for your trade in then send them an email as I'm sure they will extend the offer given the current situation.

Thanks

I'm not wanting to put anyone at risk, I just don't understand why my new phone that I ordered over a month ago can't be sent to my house or place of work as I'm a key worker, I understand why the shop has closed like all the others, the pandemic isn't inconveniencing me as you put it, it's the fact the EE are saying because I ordered in store then my only option is to wait for the store to re-open

The upgrades team informed me that because I started the upgrade in store, it can't be completed online or over the phone, it also can't be cancelled other than in store, if i try to do another upgrade over the phone I will still be liable for the in store upgrade meaning I will have to pay for both phones
