Good Morning,

Thank you for your review.

We're sorry to hear that you feel this way. Based on our records and the courier's tracking portal, your handset was dispatched on our next-day delivery service, and we can see evidence that it was successfully delivered.

If you would like us to look into this further, please give our Customer Care team a call on 0333 900 1133 and select option 2. We'll be happy to discuss your concerns and review the delivery details with you.

Kind regards,
MJ

Not satisfied

I was told I would get free headphones as part of the package, didn't arrive. Also they insist on using DPD to deliver. They will only give you a Monday to Friday with no choice to change the time nor where to deliver to. Terrible delivery experience. Ask before completing purchase. Has taken over a week to arrive and have given up 2 days of work to be in for phone.

Good Afternoon Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologise for the frustration caused by the delay with your delivery and the missing earbuds.

Following your review, we contacted you directly to discuss your concerns. As a gesture of goodwill, we offered compensation for the time you were without your handset due to the delivery delay. We also identified that your complimentary earbuds had not been dispatched as expected. This has now been manually processed, and dispatched today.

We understand how disappointing this experience has been, particularly with the delivery arrangements, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to put things right.

Kind regards,
MJ
