How can I track my order?

 

We update the order tracker every time we get a delivery from the manufacturer. You just need your order number (which was emailed or text to you when you placed your order) and the email address or phone number you gave us.

 

If you ordered in store, the store will contact you as soon as your phone is ready to collect.

 

 

Can you tell me when I will receive my phone?

 

We allocate stock on a first come, first served basis. And we update our order tracker as soon as deliveries arrive, so you can see the latest information we have.

 

No delivery dates can be confirmed until they’re in the tracker, so remember to keep checking back for updates.

 

You will receive a text from DPD, by 8pm the day before your delivery, to confirm that it's on its way.

 

If you ordered online or over the phone, you'll receive a text from our delivery partner DPD with details of your delivery.

Will I have to wait longer if I switch to a different model?

 

If you switch to an iPhone 13 variant that we currently have in stock, then you may receive your order earlier. If you switch to a model that is out of stock, you won’t be moved to the front of the waiting list.

 

 

Could my delivery date change?

 

Yes, it’s possible. We’re in regular contact with Apple, and will be sending out orders as quickly as possible. We'll keep you updated right here with any information we have, as and when we receive it, although information relating to individual orders is not available here.

We update the order tracker every time we get a delivery from the manufacturer. You just need your order number (which was emailed or text to you when you placed your order) and the email address or phone number you gave us. If you don’t have this, please give our Mobile Care team a call.

No, we send out devices according to when we received the completed order, whether this was online, in store, or over the phone.

 

The delivery timescale will vary depending on the colour and size variant you purchased.

Hi Leanne,

why have all your communication channels completely broken down, tracker doesn’t recognise order no. No email or text, DM on Twitter isn’t being answered and phone lines jammed.

DPD van has been already with another parcel and driver didn’t know what was going on either.

My phone isn’t on your list so ridiculous that I have no idea what is going on.

I have not received a text informing me of a delay, nor have I got any info from DPD or EE regarding delivery

Why is the 1TB phone omitted from the list in your post? What does that mean for us 1TB orders?

Don't worry, @Leanne_T 

 

Because of EE's horrible customer service and because I called and pre-ordered my device at 1:01PM on launch date without receiving it today, while people that ordered it THIS WEEK received it TODAY in THE SAME SPEC AND COLOUR AS I ORDERED MINE, I've decided to cancel my upgrade preorder.

 

This will also be the last year I'll be with EE.

 

Thanks for nothing!

Have been wondering the same thing all day, am sick of the canned responses now, it's time they gave us some answers and stopped leaving us in the dark.

Wow.. A lot of love here..  Nothing like shooting the messenger.   @Leanne_T is only passing on the message she has been asked to post.  

 

This is the first time for me EE has not been delivered on time.  Yeah, it's inconvenient and annoying but some are overreacting.  I have taken the day off to be home like most of you and some of you are without a phone, but I have now got to use an android till my new iPhone arrive 😉 

 

Sure the phone will arrive in good time.   Happy Friday

@johnrs In fairness, you've got it worse than the rest of us 😂

 

I'd be losing my mind if I was stuck with an Android on a day like this

@DrBell18 I know right.  I feel all dirty and ashamed.  🙂

Is there any estimated lead times? I was on hold for 45 minutes this morning before I finally spoke to someone, who just said "you'll just have to wait and see". Terrible customer service considering it's only on the expected delivery date am I being told it's not coming, and no one knows when it will arrive.
