Ordered the Samsung Galaxy S5 on the 08/01/15 on a Thursday. Phone left O2 and got to UK Mail on the Friday morning, and they sent it out for delivery the same afternoon. By 2'O clock the order was updated as 'Delayed'. I though 'Hmm not a problem, the storms are really severe these few days (I live in Northern Ireland), I'll wait until Monday'.
'Expected Date' changes to the 12th (The following Monday)
Long and behold the Monday is finally here! However the order is still marked on 'Delayed' I thought 'Ahh, just a minor website bug'. Waited all morning, afternoon, and evening and the phone was still not here. Waited until Tuesday evening too - and still nothing, tracking page still on a standstill with the last thing being updated was the Delay on the 9th... I called UK Mail customer service and asked for a re-delivery - the guy seemed friendly and said 'Ok, we'll sort that out for you!' and marked the Expected Delivery to 14/01/15, and the status now said 'Delivery re-arranged by recipient'. I was happy again as I thought I'll be getting my brand new phone tomorrow (As my S3 was broken, and old).
Wednesday came - Nothing.
I was in a too much of a pissy mood to call them back again so I called them back on Thursday. The 'nice' lady apoligised and re-arranged it again for the Friday 16th without specifying why it didn't arrive on Wednesday. At this stage I was really frustrated, and felt like shouting but had to contain myself.
Friday - Nothing.
Might aswell contact UK Mail each day for the next 11 months, saying they'll re-deliver it on the next day, the lying sacks of **** 
At this stage I was so angry and started swearing at the UK Mail website while by myself - and still feel like it.
Called them up AGAIN (3rd time now) and had a very serious and frustrated tone on meand the guy told me that they left the parcel with another company and could not re-arrange delivery and told me to contact O2 to contact the other company for a re-delivery - so thats what I did.
O2 customer care felt much more welcoming and warm towards my situation and said that the alert for the issue has been raised, and talked with his manager to sort this out, saying it would either be there on the Saturday afternoon or the following Monday - I was like 'okay,thanks' and again had faith that my phone was going to be there on the Monday.
Saturday - Nothing
Monday - Nothing
At this stage I'm like 'are you ******* serious what the **** is it that ******* hard to deliver a ******* phone?
Next-day delivery my arse.
Contacted O2 again on the Monday evening, repeated the same thing as the guy on Friday, raised the alert, told the manager, blah blah blah. Said she'd sort it out for me and the max delivery time would be a max of 3 working days.
Tomorrow is the 3rd working day, and if its not here ill be raising some ****
Feels like they have simply lost the phone and just wouldn't admit it, and my bill is tomorrow... Received all the 'Oh, welcome to O2, lalalala' paperwork and what my allowance offers me, etc, but still no device with the SIM card Ridiculous.
No matter how much you contact anyone they just tell you the same thing, lie, while nothing it being done. The parcel has been probably laying on a shelf for the past 2 weeks now while no one is bothering their back-sides to deliver it. Don't tell you WHERE it is, WHY it's not here or WHEN its truly going to be here.
Tracking side is still broken as ever, with the estimated delivery set to the 16th, useless company
Really hope im going to be compensated for this nonsensical waiting... Hard to perform my usual tasks as I have to use an old phone for £10 which can only call and text people for two weeks now...
Order was supposed to be here on the 9th - Today is the 22nd, see the gap?

*sigh* Time to contact O2, AGAIN.
Sorry just seen this @Anonymous As I said earlier I would put a stop to this now. When you contact O2.....cancel the delivery/contract and start again. At least if you walked into a store (of any network) chances are you would walk out with a new phone without any more delay...
