Hi,
I ordered an iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB on Tuesday night. The order status showed “Awaiting dispatch” earlier, but now the EE website and app show an error when I try to track it.
I haven’t received any SMS or email about shipping, only the initial order confirmation. I’ve checked the order number and email, but I still get this message:
“Sorry, that didn’t work! Please try again. You’ll need your order reference number …”
I’ve seen that other people in the community are having the same issue since yesterday, so it seems like a system problem.
I just want to confirm if my order is still active and when I should expect it to be dispatched, since the website said 1–2 working days for delivery.
Thanks if someone from EE can clarify.

HI @Brayangab139
As you're seeing an error when trying to track, your order may not have been completed. Please give our Customer Service team a call where a guide in the Digital Sales team can check your order went through correctly.
If the order couldn't be processed, the team can discuss what additional information we need to manually complete it for you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I’d like to clarify what has happened with my order.
I placed an order for an iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB on Tuesday night.
Initially, the order status showed as confirmed and awaiting dispatch, so I knew it had been accepted.
However, since yesterday, when I try to track the order on the website or app, I get the following error:
“Sorry, that didn’t work! Please try again. You’ll need your order reference number …”
I haven’t received any email or SMS about dispatch yet — only the original order confirmation.
I’ve checked the order number and email/phone exactly as used for the order, but the error persists.
I can see from the EE Community that other customers are experiencing the same tracking issue, so I think this may be a system problem.
I just want to confirm that my order is still active and approved, and if any additional information is needed from me to ensure it is processed correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

@Brayangab139 , you will have to ring customer service if you want further information, as we have no way of checking your order, but I suspect if you have received confirmation of order it should be ok.
I would also suggest making sure that you have the DPD app, where you will receive notification with a PIN number which you will have to show the driver before receiving the device.
