I ordered this phone as an early upgrade on 30/9 and was quoted 'up to 7 days' for delivery. A short while later I was told I have until 16/10 to return my current phone.
From seeing other posts on here, I suspect that the 'up to 7 days' will become 'up to 28 days and then wait for DPD notification'. The £200 upgrade fee and £130 deposit have already been taken and whilst my new monthly fee won't kick in until I receive the new phone, I am currently £330 down and no date for the arrival of the new phone.
I'm also fearful that the new phone won't arrive in time before I am due to return the existing phone. Will this date be extended if I haven't received my new device before then?
Will those customers who were originally quoted 'up to 7 days' receive their new devices first? Does EE have sufficient stock for all those that were originally quoted 'up to 7 days'? I'm finding it very hard to get any update, let alone a reliable update.
Can ANYONE help put my mind at ease? Or will I just have to wait and wait and be £330 down in the meantime.

Hello @thisisrichlord ,
Welcome to the community,
Devices are sent out on a first come first serve basis. The money should be pending on your bank account until the device is dispatched. Do not worry, you will not have to return your present device until you have received the new one and have transferred everything over and are satisfied with it.
