TRADING STANDARDS SHOULD NOW BE INVOLVED

[Anonymous]

lets say 100,000 have paid deposits for the iphone,,,but still have to wait 2/3/4 weeks still,,

WONDER HOW MUCH INTRTEST O2 HAVE MADE ON ALL THOSE DEPOSITS?????

Do 02 take money from your credit or debit card accounts before despatch ?

I ask because when you order from Apple they only charge on despatch.

What do you think trading standards will be able to do regarding the worldwide shortage of the iphone 5.

02 and the other networks will only be allowed so much of the allotment of available stock.

To highlight the issue today is the 14th time I've put in a reservation request via apple online system from the Meadowhall Store. One customer mentioned on a thread that an apple employee of that store said that they typically have around 10 iphone 5's for reservation with hundreds of reservation requests being made.

Apple have insisted with foxconns management that the quality controls be raised to a higher barr to stop scuffed handsets, including other cosmetic issues being despatched out which resulted in a short strike and less iphones being released.

Much of the current stock are for contracts so spare a thought for us pay as you go and sim free customers who are patiently waiting in the wings.

I really do appreciate your frustration as i'm frustrated at waiting too to even the hight of being tempted to buying one from CEX for £625 ! 16gb black/slate model.

When i ordered mine o2 never took the money until 2 days before i received it not sure how its worked for everyone else.

Stop shouting! Simple. Please it hurts my eyes.

Trading standards won't touch this. They may sort out the fact of a three week timescale.
