Happy to report that my iStore order (16 Pro in black titanium) which was previously scheduled to be delivered in "early October", arrived yesterday ☺️
Ah damn, no I missed out on the airpods -- they quietly disappeared as I was going through checkout -- so probably missed out on the first batch of phones then too
Yeah, I should've just done the same. One second there were Airpods added to my order and the next they weren't. Took a good 45mins to sort payment out etc etc. Not a great or confidence-building experience at all
That's exactly what I understand preordering to mean too. And you're right that I'm annoyed, especially since for later istore preorders, the estimated delivery time was pushed forward -- meaning they had to have some idea of the amount of incoming stock.
Not sure that making any noise now...
A little bummed at this message. Don't quite see the point of preordering if it means you end up waiting for wider availability or more stock anyway 🤷♂️
For context: I placed this order last Friday about an hour or so after preorders opened
Oof, tried the Vodacom upgrade call centre about two weeks ago, at which point they said waiting time should be about two weeks. Just spoke to them again10 minutes ago, and they now claim that they will only have stock at the end of NEXT month (March).
One or two vodashops around CT looks...
