Watch series 6 SS - delivery???

Aman81 — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 09:11:17 GMT

Anyone else more than unhappy with the delivery timescales for the watch series 6? I ordered on the 19/09!!

The delivery updated to show 30/10 - 04/11 a week ago. This morning this changed to ‘awaiting confirmation’.

what is going on? 6 weeks to the day and still no sign of my order. CS cannot give me any more information.

EE have far from done themselves proud here. So much so that being an original Orange customer I think I’ll take my long term business elsewhere once my contract expires.

Hi @Aman81 and @l3udddz,

Apple Watch Series 6 back orders are being dispatched on a first come, first serve basis as stock arrives from Apple.

You'll receive a text message from DPD with tracking information as soon as your delivery slot has been confirmed.

Thanks

James

Thanks for the not so helpful information. Talk about stating the obvious. Almost as bad as the automated comms every week...... almost.

I've had the same issue. I ordered the same day as yourself and got delivery slot 31/10 to 5/11 and now it has gone back to awaiting confirmation. I could order the same watch on apples website today Sunday 1/11 and have by Tuesday 3/11.

If the sim only add on plan they did for the watches had better pricing I would have bought direct from apple and had the watch weeks ago. Considering the EE website said the watches were in stock at the time of ordering I think it's a joke we're having to wait so long.

You can actually walk in to Apple birmingham and pick one up today. Not sure why EE are finding it so difficult, unless this is a matter of finances 😂. Maybe Kevin bacon has bankrupt EE.

Like you I want the cellular version and would expect EE to secure the necessary numbers.

It’s now another lockdown, which will impact the delivery further. This is beyond a joke, I’m into my seventh week of waiting.

Nice!! No such luck for me I’m afraid!!

my order number is in the 14 millions so not sure where that puts me 😂

I ordered for the ecg and blood oxygen for training. Looks like I won’t need it till at least December so not really bothered anymore tbh!

Hopefully you hear today or tomorrow!

Whenever I rang they were always mentioning the others being in stock (except for the Nike one).

However best to wait for the one you want, especially as will be with it for two years!
