Delivery expectations for iPhone 7?

[bexinthecity]

So when I placed my preorder (and paid off my refresh) this morning I saw that the estimate for the phone delivery would be up to 2 weeks for the Rose Gold plus 256GB (the one I ordered) but now when I go to the store to check whether I picked the right colour (the black really does look nice but I've decided I was right to go for Rose Gold) it says orders will be delivered on the 16th ... so those who preordered this morning have to wait 2 weeks but those who preorder right now don't? I'm confused :Z

I think it was a guesstimate spreadsheet. I believe she was looking at something, but also agree with what you are saying. 

No one has a clue. 

To back that theory up, I was told earlier by Live Chat that my phone was at a fulfilment centre, and I also received a text from o2 which said I should insure my new phone. 

Excellent. My faith is restored.

So I gave in and called O2 for an update on my upgrade and this is what I was informed

Accounts are being updated with one of two statuses

Out of stock - meaning they are unable to advise when you will receive your handset

Future delivery date - meaning you will receive your handset in 3-5 working days.

My account is in future delivery date status and going by the time frames quoted coincides with my original delivery date of 23rd.

How true and accurate the info I was given O2 only knows!!!

So they reckon ALL accounts will have an update either way? Tomorrow?

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]

DPD have managed to 'lose' my iphone 7 somehow. Called o2 and apparently (a new) one will be delivered to me tomorrow as DPD are absolulety useless, but i am not holding much hope to be honest. Whole process has been a farce since before 9am on friday 9th.
