Hi folks,
so I pre ordered in the 14th of the 17 pro max in orange, they immediately took the early upgrade fee and the deposit (£403) and I received the message for the XKO number. Since then the money they took has no appeared as a “credit” on my app and the tracking for the XKO doesn’t show as the order has been confirmed or if there is an estimated delivery date. I understand there is delays, but surely I would have an estimated delivery date date by now? I’m just worried that they have taken this money and not actually completed the order. This is not the first time I have had issues with EE and I’m now starting to lose any trust with them.
has anyone else has the same experience that they can re assure me it’s going to work out ?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

We have no way of looking at what is happening with individual orders @Rubilly. We can only see information from the stock tables, which gives us information on the latest timescales and when the timescales changed.
If you are wanting to discuss your order, you would need to speak to our customer service guides.

I’ve called them but my point is all the guides etc are saying it’s first come, first served and it’s really not and there’s no explanation as to why people ordering later than those who ordered before them are still not receiving theirs.
Same models, same storage, same colour. Someone who ordered 5 days after has already received theirs and yet I’m still being told I’m now approximately the 10th October but there’s 0 guarantee it will even come then.
I’ve since ordered with another provider to see who will come sooner.

Hi @leecharles81.
Thanks for coming here.
The timescale now shows to expect despatch within 28 days.
If the timescale provided at point of order was 21 days your delivery will be within this time frame.
Once your order begins to progress you will be notified and provided with further tracking information.
