Received email from Argos about 40 mins ago saying they’ve inspected and giving full £660 for my 12 pro. It only arrived there this morning so it seems they’re getting quicker at checking them.
Hopefully as fast when my iPhone arrives with them tomorrow so I can clear my Barclays finance and get my Applecare+ refunded by Apple.

Any of the EE folks still here? Just wondering if you’ve been able to access their site the past few hours? I can’t open the tracker link and the same for the EE Community site.

My work colleague placed an order for iPhone 13 yesterday and was given the order number yesterday but she was unable to the link to track it and when the page did load she got message sorry cant track this order along them lines. Her iPhone 13 was delivered today though.
 
EE really screwed up this year. There are people in the same boat as I was. Boxes with Broken Seals. Most of them have been denied replacement and offered mere £10 credit.

wow, that’s fubar ☹️

my issue is really minor compared to that, it was not being able to use the NHS Perks code online during the first few days of reservations and was only successful on Tuesday (21/9) through 150.
 
Thank you for this. Coming back home from honeymoon tomorrow, with 256GB PM Graphite waiting for me. I was having major remorse about not getting the Sierra Blue.

Graphite will now be going back to Apple unopened. Picking up SB on Thursday.

Congratulations For Tying The Knot

By any chance did you go to Croatia for your honeymoon???

You’re welcome! I happened by chance to look at apple and JL this eve as I was thinking of going from my 13 pro to 13 pro max and they had stock which I wasn’t expecting 😜
 
To be honest in my opinion you should never go with the cellular providers or even most other retailers when buying iPhones. It’s best to go with Apple with John Lewis being a good alternative. I would also go with pickup over delivery if it’s an option. It’s better to have a SIM only contract and buy the phone outright. Judging by some of the posts in this thread just reaffirms that.
 
Just got a notification from Three, phone will be delivered tomorrow. Was originally told launch day and night before told it was delayed till 6th Oct. So looks like the networks got stock today.

Well looks like they’ll be another influx of phones arriving at Argos then judging by the comments above!!

I seriously cannot believe I haven’t got a single offer for my iPhone 12 128Gb ?! 😕.

I literally have it listed on FB Market Place, also on my local FB Community site, also on AV Forums and finally, also on Shpock and yet not a single offer?! i have it listed for just over £600 including delivery + 4 cases & 2 packs of tempered glass protectors which I think is pretty fair……

I’m now wondering whether to just cut my losses and send it off to Argos for my locked in price of £519 (valid until 7th Oct)…..?!
 
I had no genuine interest for my 12 Pro 128gb on FaceBook Marketplace, lots of stupid questions but no offers I’d even consider. Decided I’d had enough so sent it to Argos.

My advice would be to avoid FB Marketplace like the plague, it’s full to the brim with thick time-wasting shithouses who like to pretend they can’t read.

I’ve found Gumtree much better.
 
Further EE update. Tracker updated to 8-12th October @wizzywig27

I can't see anywhere on the Argos site where to input your bank details for payment (can't find it in the 'Account' section) - or was this set up initially during the sign up process?!!!

I think I gave them my bank details when I first arranged to sell to them. I don’t see any mention of them now though so it’s possible they don’t show on the website. Maybe best to contact them and ask?

Used rebuy to sell my old phone picked up on Friday by DPD and paid on Monday after receiving.
There are many positive reports in relation to ReBuy. However, last year I sent them my son’s iPhone X, which looked to us to be immaculate, and they reduced the valuation saying that it had several scratches on the screen, back and sides. As the difference in valuation was only about £30, I didn’t argue.
