Sorry for the super mega long post..... I'm just really quite angry with O2!
I placed an upgrade order Friday night, paid £270 remaining balance to be able to upgrade for the S22 ultra! I got really excited and chose click and collect as it would mean I would get the phone quicker, as supposedly my local store had stock, which was brilliant... wrong! First of all I received an email saying there had been a delay so they wouldn't have my order ready today, that was sent at 23:50 so I assumed it meant Friday still so disregarded it, Saturday came and we still hadn't received update, called the store before setting off, they didn't have it maybe they would by Wednesday. Whilst on the phone I asked what other forms of ID I could bring as I didn't have a passport or drivers license, to be told that simply meant I wasn't allowed to collect. I asked them numerous different options and they declined, saying I simply couldn't have it without a passport or Drivers License and it would sit in the store for a week before returning to the warehouse to be cancelled....
So straight away Saturday I called customer services, they assured me it hadn't been sent out so they could email the fulfilment team and they would cancel it before it was sent, which was brilliant I thought nightmare over. Wrong again!
Sunday morning came I received a text from DHL they had my O2 parcel, great I thought maybe they changed the address to my home address and just shipped it.... nope! Postcode on tracking was the stores, so I called O2 again this time really really angry (but also thanks O2 for weekend customer service) we ran through all the options and couldn't really come to a solution, I said to them could they not contact DHL and have my delivery address changed considering they had only just picked it up, they said that we could absolutely try that and supposedly emailed DHL to change the address. She said unfortunately my delivery date would change from Monday to Tuesday though, I then went on to the parcel tracking and changed the delivery date to Thursday to allow DHL and O2 a little time to hopefully change it.
So my question is what do we think the likelihood of them changing the address is, I don't even think it's actually possible to be entirely possible? Has anyone else had a similar experience, If I have to wait for it to go back and for them to cancel I do think I may have to close the contract and leave, which is a shame we've had 6 very good years 😭
