Hi
so i made an order for a new device & watch on the 15th april i am an existing customer and just adding this to my current contract. upfront payment taken agreement signed , credit check passed
i have rang many times and spoken on chat to be told many different things from stock issue , to item has been allocated due for delivery , warehouse not received order etc.
so on my last phone call around an hour ago i was told the same thing that the warehouse have not received the order and the guy on the phone filled out an escalation form with me over the phone which i am not sure why he just said i needed to and would take an additional 24 hours.
now if everything is signed and sealed surly they can click a few buttons and have the warehouse despatch the order.
it will be 5 days tomorrow without any clear answer or explanation apart from i have done everything my end so why are they not dispatching the order or making it really hard highly frustrating
thanks

The upfront payment shouldn't have been taken from your pending bank transactions until the order had been dispatched @sam2018 . Vodafone should also have kept you updated with email notifications throughout the order process.
It sounds like you need the Social Team to look into this on your behalf, drop them a message through social channels by following this link Contact Us

thank you for your reply i will try that , the point is all formalities have been passed and I'm just getting passed different information, and it's really misleading and annoying when I'm already a Vodafone customer.
They say order is accepted but just keep using this warehouse excuse
thanks

Did they say that they’d filled out a form to the priority resolution team?
Orders on their system get stuck (frequently) even if it’s something simple like a content bar or a SIM swap (*bitter*). CS have to wait 24 hours from the date/time of submission or the back office team will not look at the request. Once they complete the form it can be 24/48 hours for that team to look at the stuck order. If you find a member of combined care / customer services who actually calls you back I’d be surprised. Likewise supervisor or manger calls that should take place within 24 hours never arrive.
If you don’t hear anything back within the above time-frame I suggest you make a complaint as that has been the only thing that has worked for me.

That’s good news!
Social Media team will hopefully be able to push it through all things being well.
Good luck!
