Switch from BT to EE - Want Apple TV instead of EE Box

On Monday I went in store and updated my broadband and TV as this was with BT.  I did this in store because I already had an EE account and didn't want to mess things up online by creating a second account.  I didn't know when I was making the order I had a choice of boxes.  I have only used my apple TV for years now and if I had know I would have chosen that over a box I will never ever use.

On Tuesday I receive a text about the box and look up to see what it is and see I should have had the choice.

On Wednesday when I was next passing through town I go in store again and ask if I can amend this, they say yes no problem but has to be done via phone, so I called that evening.  On the phone I'm told again it is no problem but will have to wait until Friday when the loyalty team were available and I will have a call back.

Today on Friday I'm finally told it will now cost me £4 extra a month that it would not have on Monday.  This was not advised earlier and had I known on Monday I'd have gone for the Apple TV box.  I am now seriously considering switching my providers this weekend and cancelling my order before the cooling off period has finished because of how poor this process has been.  Is there really no way my order can be amended without the extra cost?

Hey there @matthirtyfive.

Welcome to the EE Community 😊

I can totally understand your disappointment if the Apple TV wasn't originally offered, and has since increased in price since you originally placed your order. 

With any plan, prices are subject to change and offers may be for a limited period, but did you let the loyalty team know about the cheaper price you were quoted when speaking with them?

The person in the loyalty team was the one who told me it would be £4 more.  So I assumed that she knew and could see that I had been quoted higher.  I did ask when this increase happened because I only signed up on Monday and had made my original call to change on Wednesday.  She advised that it was show as the same for her yesterday (Thursday).  I was not expecting this and it caught me off guard so I just asked for the bag to send the EE TV box back as I will not be using this and we ended the call.
