I've done this a few times and thought it would be bad to break tradition, so wanted to create a thread for people to discuss their preorders etc as we all wait for our new iPhones.

Update on previous post (Page 120):
I've spoken to a few different CS reps over the weekend and also tonight, just before writing this.
Tonight, I managed to get through to a decent CS rep based in Darlington, I explained the issue again to him and he immediately opened a "Case", without me asking which was nice. He then went through my call history with EE and read out the notes over the phone, all correct, no issues. Then, He went on to track the order via the system and "could confirm" that all iPhone 14 Pro Max are currently out of stock and that includes all sizes and colours. Not happy but fair enough. He was able to give me a rough date of when they expect to be back in stock which is currently 21 days from todays date.
I then explained to him that I've been told different things every time I've called, which he apologised for saying "I'm sorry that you've been miss informed and told these lies" - Lies! Confirmed by a CS rep! I've been lied to by many different people, I'm sure they would mostly all have access to the same systems and the same tracking information so why couldn't they have just told me that. Instead, I've spent at least 20 minutes on hold each time I've called, just to be miss informed. What a total waste of time.
Even so, at least I (we) finally know when our orders might be delivered. The case was closed with EE and i've been credited £30 for the inconvenience. Still not happy but I guess its better than nothing.

When people were lied to last year by EE they got £50. With a CPI+3.9% increase (which this year will be mammoth) a lot of you are being offered a pittance

Aye but people have delivery notices for tomorrow so still not exactly true

I ordered 14 Pro Max 512gb in Silver over the phone last Tuesday, had confirmation email but no order number, no tracking link… nada. Spoke to CS who told me my order number but tracking page says my order type cannot be tracked - even though it is a monthly plan!
Anyway, I just randomly had a series of texts thanking me for my upgrade and confirming my smart benefits but still no confirmation of the actual order so I checked the DPD app and it’s been collected from the seller this afternoon. So I’m hoping it’ll be here tomorrow! But odd and annoying that EE have still never actually confirmed the order or sent any type of order number and the tracking page doesn’t work!

It’s these sort of posts that has stopped me from cancelling and downgrading to the Pro rather than the Pro Max. 😂
I know it’s first world problems, but I don’t care. We are lucky to live in a time and place where we can get excited about stuff like this. So why not immerse your self in it. Reminds me of being a kid and wanting to unwrap Christmas presents early.
cheers Ned! I’ll hold out for another day… probably more so but yessss, it’s happening.

Just another CS person quoting a time frame they have no actual evidence of, right? Sounds like EE haven’t a clue as people who’ve received their phones/delivery texts have said their EE tracker hadn’t changed. I’m beginning to think it’s luck of the draw

It’s comforting to know things are moving at least! But I’m really unimpressed with the upgrade service this year. My first pre-order was done wrong and the confirmation email alerted me to the fact they’d ordered the wrong phone for me, and when I rang to change it the only available plan was £14 a month more expensive!! The phone model I changed to was only £100 more so they’re making a cracking profit on that over 24m!

Oh I’m with you Benno! Totally first world problems but I don’t care! As a parent all my money goes on my kids… this is MY treat so I don’t care that I’m unnaturally excited for it 🤣

Yesss Benno!! Exactly. I mean yeah I’m whinging about not having my nice new camera phone in time for my holiday abroad 🤣 def first world problems. But it beats worrying and complaining about more serious stuff!
Plus, I have no life. The arrival of my phone will make my week 🤣
