Hi,
I was told that I needed to be in to r3eceive delivery of my iphone 13 pro max. I have had to cancel meetings and totally re work my day. I am now seeing that there is a delay. When was this known about as I could have worked instead of waiting around. This may have cost me money ? Ady

Hi Leanne,
Does this mean that my iPhone 12 Pro Max 1TB Sierra Blue should be arriving on schedule? I notice you've omitted this model from your above list.
24-09-2021 01:29 PM
Big oof
24-09-2021 01:35 PM
Hello Leanne,
How do you justify being the number one network? when the customer service of this company is absolutely diabolical. I'm going to Trading standards as it's now evident that this company have prioritized new customers over existing to bring in business. This is absolutely disgusting.
I pre-ordered iPhone 13 Pro MAX 1TB Graphite and i called in 12:50 on the 17th. i was reassured I'd receive it on release date. yesterday I checked the notification and it says 1st October - 5th October.
Can you tell me why my friend who pre-ordered the same device three days later has just received it?
The only obvious reason i can think of is because he's new to EE.
I will be contacting Trading Standards and BBC Watchdog. i also suggest customers do the same as i believe existing customer are thrown aside to cater for the new!
Number one network? YEA RIGHT!

Hi
I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro Max 5G 128GB Graphite, which isn't on your list, but my order is still apparently delayed despite getting an order confirmation at 13:09 on pre-order day.
Is there a reason that this model and colourway isn't on the list of affected devices, if it is affected?
Regards

Hi @DrBell18
Thanks for posting.
We update our order tracker as soon as deliveries arrive, so you can see the latest information we have for your order in the tracker.
Thanks.
Leanne.

@Leanne_T I've ordered an iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB Sierra Blue. You haven't listed this as delayed, does this mean we'll be recieving these shortly?
24-09-2021 01:43 PM
@Leanne_T And this information was left until the afternoon of the promised delivery day why sorry?
This info must have been known by EE yesterday and earlier. I now have no new phone coming even though it said I will receieve on launch day (today!), I have sold my old phone yesterday as the tracker also said my phone would be delivered today, paid a large amount to upgrade and have used my last holiday day at work to be at home for no reason. So even when/if the new phone does arrive, I will not be able to be home to receive it, and as I now have no phone I will not be able to receive tracking updates, so with all due respect EE can shove their contract and the phone sideways where the sun doesn't shine!
You really ought to be investigated for business malpractice and extremely false advertising.
I wouldn't mind waiting as it is only a phone and I am not a spoilt child, but had I and all others on this forum been told at the point of ordering that we should expect delays then we could have made our own decisions on whether to risk it or be happy to wait, but to be promised launch day delivery, then on said launch day have it taken away after so many of us have made arrangements to be in etc. is an utter **** take.
UK's best communications company that are also unable to communicate... fantastic

I have the same question. I have received no DPD notification and nothing in the DPD app, so I assume that DPD won't be delivering today.
But it would have been nice to have been told given that it isn't on your list of devices that are effected, and I have arranged things around it.
