S4 Delayed?

Anonymous

Hey all.

 

As usual a complaint has brought a new member to the forum. I do apologise about that.

 

Being a bit of a tech nut I've weighed up the benefits of my 3rd HTC in a row, with it's consistently poor battery life but overall great experience against the plastic, but awesome UI of the S4.

 

I really liked the S2 so I decided I'd give it a go, it's got loads of great features I'd never use  which sounds appealing to me.

 

I went in earlier this week to my local O2 and preordered the S4 and I was told I'd get it in store on Friday (today) and I just had to wait for a text. I called O2 yesterday to see if they had any news on the preorder as tomorrow is the only morning I could really take a couple of hours off as I'm busy working Saturday and Sunday.

 

They had no idea about the order and told me that the store runs like a franchise and they don't share information. What? I was assured by the store when I preordered that I'd recieve it today as they hadn't had many pre orders so I trusted that information.

 

I call up this morning and no, they don't have any phones and they 'SHOULD' get them tomorrow. This is one of the biggest tech launches in the calender year, how can they delay it by a day? 

 

Did anyone else get this from their local store? I guess I should be happy that I'm going to get it tomorrow (if I can get away) as I read that many wont be getting there's for a week or so, but still, if you're guaranteed something and then they don't deliver it's annoying whatever the case is.

Nope, as far as I am aware we don't use them at all anymore.

This is getting beyond a joke now.

 

I managed to beg my boss to let me run to the shop at 9am and when i get there I'm told that they haven't recieved any stock.

 

I mean, again I was told that they would have it. I was told they would get it today but I'm not holding my breath. They took my number and said they'd call me when they come in but I don't get why they're making guarantees to me when they don't know! This is the third one now.

 

Just say I don't know because then people wont be arranging their life needlessly.

According to a representative I just spoke to, O2 have 23 S4's in the whole country in store.

 

2 were available in London today. What?

I ordered my phone on the 20th. I did get a message saying O2 were out of stock for the launch date but I'm expecting to receive mine in the next few days. I'm a bit disappointed as my mate only took out a contract on Thursday with 3 through Carphone Warehouse and his S4 has arrived today no problem.
