oh how come? Did they mess up your reservation or was it not in stock at all? One year they definitely had no launch day stock beyond collections, I cite above^
Tbf it was a while ago (iPhone 4 in fact).

I was only about 20-30 people behind in the queue but had to wait for literally hours, because the network activation servers were down or something. Thing is, I was there to buy the phone outright for cash as a SIM-Free.

When I finally got into the store hours later I was out in about 3 minutes. Just paid and that was it.

Nobody at the store had the idea of asking people in the queue if they were here for buying outright instead of on contract. A pointless delay.

Obviously the system is better now but I’m just not very confident in the staff at Bluewater.

I now have a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a Distinction, so don’t be so quick to judge 😂

Just a bit of banter mate, sure one day you will do something that changes someones life for the better so fair play 👌
 
Just woken up to an email this morning saying my iPhone expected delivery date has now gone from 3rd November to the 17th. I hope that’s a glitch.

not really heard that from Apple before.. its usually the dates that come in.

which model did you go for? when did you get your order in?
 
Has anyone’s EE order changed to “Dispatch expected in 24 hours yet”?

Guessing I should be seeing that at some point today if I’m getting the phone on Friday 🤷🏻‍♂️ (still dubious, can you tell? 😆)
 
Has anyone ordered through Carphone Warehouse this year, haven't seen many mentions of them?

I am hoping to pick up a pro max from them with their extra £50 trade in but trying to decide if the £50 is worth it versus ordering direct from Apple.
 
They do, not sure what he is on about. All of their plans are ‘free upgrade’ after 1 year i believe.

What I mean is last year I was on an 'anytime upgrade' plan, where you could upgrade (for a charge) after 14 days, then for less of a charge after 6 months, then no charge after a year.

This year I just upgraded, assumed I'm on the same until I read that post, now I am not sure lol

Edit: Just checked and they do offer an anytime upgrade as standard:

I doubt it’s a glitch as I got the same email. I thinking about cancelling and waiting to see if there’s any better deals on Black Friday.
 
So with South Yorkshire moving to Tier 3 lockdown on Saturday, anyone got a collection booked from Meadowhall not living in the area, won't be able to go to collect it.

I'm Nottinghamsire based with Meadowhall being my closest store and collection booked for Friday evening so might just be ok...
