On my order, no.

 

But on the website some 11 inch varieties are available for next day delivery or same day pick up in store now, and my 12.9 variety is on 1-2 weeks delivery (although its the only 12.9 variety that is, the rest are stil on 4 - 6 weeks).

 

so it looks like there has been some stock trickling through last few days.

 

I’m a bit more optimistic that I might get my ipad in the next few weeks than I was.

Nothing back from CEOs office.  As useless as the rest of them 😞

I’m not taking any side here. But when there’s a 3rd party things can go wrong. I’m sure we all understand O2 business is making sales. If they can’t provide or update means they genuinely don’t know. And if they don’t have any update from Apple even calling Jesus will not bring any news. Apple stock and O2 stock aren’t the same, I know we all want a brand new iPad but when placing order most of not all models showing 4+weeks. We’re still between that window

True for sure and what you say is right.

 

But as we can see from this thread the message is inconsistent.

 

And if the stock issue was the same evrywhere then I would be more understanding, as I was in the first few weeks.

 

But once everyone else had stock then I started getting a bit antsy.

 

And the lack of knowledge is shocking.  Even the CEOs office admitted that when she rang the sales and stock team to ask them about stock and she was told it hadn't been released yet.  Luckily she'd been in Currys the night before and had seen them so could correct them.  But how can a company like O2s sales team not know a product has been released???

 

That said, my model is now the only 12.9 model that is on the website with an up to 1 week delivery so I've screenshotted that and will expect my tablet in a week from now hopefully.....

I think that would even be more annoying than not having one at all.

 

So many damaged ones from O2 I'm hearing......:(

512GB and 256GB slate grey 12.9s now changed from 1-2 weeks to “up to a week” so looking even more promising for next week.

 

all other 12.9s stuck at 4-6 weeks.
