I ordered mine also around the same time & was assured it would be here this weekend I do hope so as I’m going away Tuesday & needed it but also won’t be able to deliver

This is the usual apple struggling with demand but of course it's all EE's fault & as for tbe gaslighting comment, just wow!!

FWIW, someone i know was told the pro maxes literally went to at least 14 days within a few hours of the pre order launch then 21 days + from the saturday

Well to my astonishment - I have an update, white iPhone Pro Max 256gb esim pay monthly new customer ordered at 1:20pm on Friday the 12th

Now of course waiting for any kind of update from DPD.




Is there anyone else in the same situation in terms of tracker status (I'm not saying tracking because this doesn't really constitute as tracking imo)

That has this kind of status but has also been told actual shipping is massively delayed?

Of course Apple is doing their normal bang up job of making sure there is enough stock… that’s not in dispute that they screw this up every year.

but your own comment proves the gaslighting. What you know differs from what EE customer services tell people. As late as yesterday morning I was told directly from someone in EE ops that all pre-orders for all variants would be shipping. By the middle of the day customer services were telling people a mixture of “hang in, it’ll be out today”, “actually there is a delay and it’ll be out by Sunday” to the more likely “21-28 days - sorry but that’s how it is”. 

customer services haven’t been told anything concrete to communicate to customers by the sound of it so EE as a whole has been gaslighting people. I mean could just say outright lying but I feel that’s too much effort for EE to go to in all honesty.

It is what it is - now we begin the long semi-expected wait for a very late preorder.

So I ordered the PM 512gb Cosmic Orange on the 12th @ 1.01pm but didn't get the actual ordered confirmed email until Saturday! So will have to wait on that, also ordered the Air 256gb on Friday after that and that came on launch day! Also ordered the Watch ultra 3 on Friday and that also came on launch day! Not to bothered about the PM I can wait, go through the same kinda issues every year so just go with the flow!

How do you all get to contact them in chat? Of course can ring up, but I’ve probably rang up 3-4 times this week, I want to get a clear answer from them about delivery times or at least with order but it’s the generic wait for DPD etc and no update on the tracking part on EE.

Hi ikhaan 

im currently still waiting for mine aswell - I placed my order on the 14th got told I would have it today but it’s still saying awaiting confirmation of expected delivery day

[t22shops]

Just got off the phone to an EE guide who spoke to her manager and said that my 17 PM Blue 256GB (ordered on the 17th AM) hasn’t been released yet but should be getting delivered over the weekend and that people will most likely receive their phones on Monday. I hope that’s true but it’s hard to tell as everytime i’ve called up, i’ve had a different answer 

[cacoe]

What's your EE tracker status?

[marcon1961]

Not sure if anyone is on Twitter/X but EE have been replying to people of how long the wait was for their phone when they placed the order. So someone ordered PM Deep Blue 256GB 12th September @ 4:20 and they told them wait at that point was within 14 days
