Another year, another shambolic O2 pre ordering process. I was across two computers sorting myself and the other half, managed to get the other half sorted for just before 2.30pm with delivery on launch day the queuing system as usual was a joke though.
I thought I’d got myself sorted not long after as I managed to get all way through checkout and pressed order and pay with having launch day delivery and then got chucked back to the basket with a message telling me the switch up details didn’t match, it was telling me to empty basket and start again so turned to doing it over the phone, just short of an hour on hold and eventually got through which then took another 30 mins or so whilst they read through all the T&C’s and they then sent me an email to sign the contracts, clicked the link in there, signed everything and hit order and pay and it sent me to another queue but I got the order confirmation email so I asked the advisor and they confirmed the order had gone through but a delivery date of up to 3 weeks, my confirmation email states delivery on launch day and so does my O2 order tracker, I then got an email a couple of hours later telling me delivery would be up to 2 weeks so who actually knows.
It’s been the same in terms of issues for years and years, they then introduced a queueing system but it just happens to be the worst in the world, don’t think anything will ever improve with it.

I'm really enjoying the constant messaging today..
Does this mean 5 days from today or 5 days after launch day do we think?

Was getting the exact same, only way to get a payment through was over the phone, nightmare ordering experience.

Yep this year was the worst experience in upgrading yet - and it's been awful every year for as long as I can remember.
Queue system didn't kick in right away which seems crazy to me. Why was this not enabled right at the start or even just prior to preorders opening to stop the systems grinding to a halt? Then there was the inconsistency of it.
After an hour of trying I got to the point where I had almost completed the switch up order and had to pay the £1 but on clicking the link to make the payment it took me to a dead page so I was unable to do it. Of course then the site ground to a halt and I couldn't do anything. When it did eventually work the basket told me there was an issue with the Switch Up details and that I had to empty my basket.
Eventually, after it randomly dying on me several points, I got to the point where it was looking good - I completed the Switch Up questions then it dumped me back in to the queue again. By the time the queue allowed me to proceed the Switch Up side of the order had messed up and it was treating it as a standard O2 Recycle order so once again I had to clear the basket and wait it out again.
Last straw for me was when I got right to the end, I even made the £1 payment and I clicked on confirm and it took me to the (now out of place looking) 2017 error message page and that was it. After that I kept getting dumped in queues again and once again had the Switch Up details error telling me I had to clear my basket. When clearing it, I was warned that the credit check had already completed but I had no choice but to go ahead and clear it.
In the end I gave up and went in store to do it. Worst experience for as long as I can remember. It's just frustrating because it really shouldn't be like this and it really shouldn't be the same year after year. It most be costing money because no customers can place any orders at all for anything.
Still despite that and preordering at about 19:30 on Friday, I still have an ETA of the 19th for a silver 512GB Pro Max. Ideally wanted the orange but that was up to 4 weeks by then and it'll be in a case anyway. Time will tell if I'll actually get it on the 19th or not.

Mines showing up to 2 weeks on my o2 order thing but the guy said it’d be ready for collection in store on release day. Had it ordered and completed by half 1 but I’m guessing the “up to 2 weeks” is gona turn into a first week of October. Hopefully it will change to the 19th September in the my o2 orders part…doubt it though
always a shambles. Guess someone needs to tell o2 there will be another iPhone next year and to prepare lol

I've been on the community for nearly 13 years and the iPhone release is always a shambles with O2.
The new buzz word I'm hearing this year is Queue!
Some of our regular members were put in a queue to actually get on to this forum yesterday....and they weren't buying iPhones!!

Was a Samsung user for years but the s24 ultra was the final straw, grainy screen in low brightness and the complete inability to take a picture of a slow walking dog indoors without loads of blur (the s23 was good)…waited months for simple updates…went against everything I stood for and got the 16pm last year and it’s better than any Samsung I’ve had. Everything works…better

Ah well @Roblfc
I suppose every phone can have it's issues 🤔
16 iPhone maybe pm is improving
The iPhone 16 has experienced a range of issues, including a sensitive Camera Control button, software bugs like screen freezes and slow performance, problems with apps disappearing from the home screen, overheating in some models, and battery drain, although these issues are common for a new device with a new operating system and are being addressed by software updates. Users have also reported issues with durability, screen quality, and poor battery life. 😫
