MacBook neo

Hi, I'm hoping someone from EE can help with my MacBook Neo order.

I ordered an Apple MacBook Neo 13-inch, 256GB in Indigo on 14 September on finance. When I ordered, the estimated dispatch time showed more than 28 days.

The website for the exact same Indigo 256GB model has since changed from more than 28 days → 14 days → 7 days.

Today (18 September), I also received an email saying "Thanks for your order. We're getting it ready for you."

Could someone from EE please clarify what stage my order is currently at, and whether this email means my order has been allocated stock/is being prepared for dispatch? Also, with the current website estimate now showing 7 days, is there any indication when my existing order will be dispatched.

@Rehan71 This isn’t customer support we don’t know who you are as this is a public forum. There is no account access from here. You need to call customer support.

What does this mean from an email I received

Thanks for your order. We're getting it ready for you.

Thanks

Hi @Rehan71

Thanks for coming to the community.

That email would normally be good news, as it means that your order is being prepared.

Keep an eye out for a further update to let you know when it is on the way and when it will be delivered.

Yeah I think it's good because now the shops saying

Usually dispatched within 3 days

So if I've got an order from the 13th September and have received the getting it ready email then that that's a good sign.

Hi @Rehan71

As @Michael_D has advised, you will get another update to let you know when your order is on the way and tracking details from the courier to let you know when this will be delivered.

Leanne.

I wouldn’t expect anything anytime soon, those emails mean nothing.

I ordered on the 15th of August & I’m still waiting for my delivery. I have had the ‘Thanks for your order. We're getting it ready for you.’ emails 1-2 times per week since ordering.

I called EE on Friday & they said they are still waiting for stock & orders will be sent out in the order that people placed the orders but they can’t tell me when I will receive mine. Just said at the very earliest end of October but could be after that!

I keep seeing the EE support team replying with the same thing, saying it’s good news. Why can’t they just look into it properly!

Did you receive yours?
I ordered on 22nd September. So not a huge amount of time ago, but feel like we've all been slightly misled regarding actual delivery times. Be interesting to hear when and if you've had yours yet. 🙂

Hey. Nope, still nothing. I’m hoping it arrives the end of the month, I ordered the 15/8 too, so nearly 2 months ago!

If it isn’t despatched the end of the month then I will cancel & buy direct from Apple. Apple delivery is start of November atm too.

Jesus! Were you told the '28 days delivery' line then too? You're far more patient than I am. I've been keeping an eye on Apple stock in the hope it might be a sign EE will also receive them but their dates keep changing too. Absolute minefield! Really hope you and the rest of us get them soon.

I ordered August 11th, been getting those emails on a regular basis and still nothing. Spoke with EE and they have no clue when the orders will be fulfilled

Re: MacBook neo

Ms212 — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 05:11:31 GMT

Yes, it was 28 days when I ordered. I’ve only been patient as it wasn’t needed until the start of October anyway.

will keep you updated!

have you received your order yet?

Re: MacBook neo

Blondietori88 — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 15:14:22 GMT

Not had mine yet! Called a couple of times and they're still saying stock is 0. It's been 6 weeks now.
