Hi @glrichardson1,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Do you have a device you could download the DPD app on?

I have this same problem. I’m waiting also, was told it would arrive today but still no text from DPD. What should I do once I download the app?

Hi @R_obe,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Once you've downloaded the app and registered your details, it will show if they have received your parcel from EE.

If nothing is showing, please get in touch with Customer Care so a member of the team can check the status of your order.

Thanks

I cannot do that as a replacement sim is coming with the upgrade so I cannot verify number

Hi @R_obe,

Your old SIM should still be working until you activate the new one.

If you don't have your old SIM, please get in touch with Customer Care so a member of the team can help.

Thanks

James

Hi I am in the same position.  I don't understand why EE doesn't send an order number and contract details at the same time as establishing a direct debit mandate - I don't have any written record of what I am paying for.  This is a strong contrast to the BT service which sends me details of every order. Which DPD app do you suggest?  My Apple Store isn't picking the usual one up.  Thanks.

PS - the customer care number does the usual thing and takes you round in circles until you get to a point where you can't find an option of which button to press.  The DPD app only works on a smartphone, so if you don't have one because you've ordered a replacement for one which is lost then you can't use the app.  I'm sure EE has all the relevant details so it would be great if you could send them to customers at the start of the process. Many thanks.

Hi there @LizC77 

Thanks for coming here. 

How long ago did you contact the insurance team to process the replacement, or, did you an order an upgrade? 

If this is a replacement phone you are waiting for this would not have an order number, DPD will be in touch to let you know when this will be delivered. 

Leanne.

Hi Leanne

This is to replace my lost BT smartphone, so it's a new contract with EE as opposed to BT which has my other services.  That's why I was expecting an order number (the direct debit mandate number is not it). Insurance is not involved, as far as I know.   DPD usually sends me a morning text for deliveries but I think you may have given them the number of my lost mobile which I don't have (and I used my landline to place the order).   Anyway I'll stay in as far as possible, but I will be surprised (and impressed!) if it turns up today as promised - that is not my usual DPD experience.
