So true, I’ve had terrible wear problems from the wafer thin “leather” on the official Apple case, and I have also seen the silicone coating of the official Apple cases come away simply from repeated removal from, and placement into, a trouser / jeans pocket. This is even though I am very careful with my possessions.
To give you an alternative perspective, I have to have a case with the bottom edge open as otherwise the phone won’t work with the dock built into my car. Context matters!
and still have a week for it to get to them.
I just got a really weird text from o2 saying “sorry but your delivery date is no longer tomorrow. We’ll let you know the correct date soon.”
What does that even mean?
Completely agree with the general consensus here that carriers should be more prepared after this many years, but always is a mess!
Just changed my shipment option from “Next day” to “Standard” and now it says “Delivers Friday 20th”I made my order on the 13th and my order has, and still is, ”Arriving on the 21st Sep”. No big deal really. Sometimes choosing the Prime option makes new stuff arrive later compared to other options, have had this issue before which to me is kind of weird that they can’t sort out.
If I ask customer service to sort it out, they’ll probably make it arrive even later
I did that but still found my basket emptied the day after the key note with several days left on my basket. always worked in the past, assumed they had changed their policy.
Now that’s a comparison I’m waiting to see pics and videos of, this Friday. Green vs white
In the term and conditions I think it says you have 14 days from when you initiate the contract, that date is the day you actually complete your basket rather than save it.Many many pages back in this thread (a week or so ago when the topic on everyone’s lips was how to get the best deal for their old phone) someone asked about stacking the ‘saved quote’ feature on Music magpie with the 14 day window once you’ve completed your trade in order with them. I don’t think anyone was sure at the time(?) but not having a suitable phone to tide me over if i sent my current phone off before the new one arrives, i thought I’d give it a go.
Last Monday (9th) i saved a quote of £690 for my phone but didn’t complete it until last night (in hindsight i should have waited until today rather than have the time run out on a Sunday). I was surprised that no where on the confirmation was there something that stated the deadline to get it to them, to see if they were working from the save date (9th) or complete date (15th), then again i guess that would put more knowledge than they have to in the customers hands to allow them to play the system. So i emailed their customer service team and they have confirmed i have up to the 29th to get the phone to them (rather than the 23rd if it had been from the save date). So i’ll get my current phone in the post to them on Friday once my new one is up and running
Maybe a bit late for some, or by the looks of it those who saved quotes only to have them disappear, but hopefully it could help someone to know this, or be useful for next year. I’m not sure how codes might work with this if they expire between saving and completing, but in theory this approach could give you 28 days from locking in the price to getting the phone to them so avoid the need to go without a decent handset for a while.
