 i pre ordered last saturday for store collection, still says this?

[Panky90]

How often do they restock, so if you wasnt part of the orders for today, when do they get more in todo the next lot?

Just got off the phone with them, and they were as helpful as ever 😕 despite being told last night that I would still get my phone today, it’s clearly not coming, and they have no idea when they are getting any more in. This is exactly why I was a month late last year, because of their false promises. Absolute joke. I really have no idea how a big company like EE could have no idea when their next delivery is coming

I ordered mine on the Monday 16th PM DT 256gb the woman didn’t give me false hopes they said there would be a 28DAY WAIT…  so if I was you check back in a month you’ll get it eventually

Hello Panky90

One of my closest friends works in procurement at the IDC in cork,Ireland. Deliveries from China and India are arriving daily and each delivery is in excess of 250k units however these are then pre sorted per retail customer such as the mobile networks / curry’s / Argos etc 

Mark (my friend) rung me just after 6pm last night at end of his shift and gave me heads up strong possibility  my order would be allocated to me as significant stock has arrived. 

he did say all mobile networks are increasing their demand significantly and EE are at the forefront on this. Next consignment to arrive is 3pm today and again same over weekend with more deliveries 

[Panky90]

Thanks for the inside knowledge, for me its a case that if its not here today it'll have to be from Monday anyway as its going to my work but still good to know that seems regular so hopefully wont be waiting long.

[Jaycurz]

I placed my order on the morning of the 14th and my order status was stuck on out for delivery when clearly it wasn’t as it had said this from the 14th.

I have just finished messaging EE about my order and this is their response.  Hope this helps people who had the same order status.

I'm literally the exact same! I ordered on monday in store for store collection due to online mucking my order up and not going through resulting in paying my upgrade fee twice....no a happy camper today
